Professional fees:
(1)
In
addition to other fees, the town will assess to a property owner,
developer, subdivider or applicant the actual costs incurred by the
town for engineering fees and legal fees associated with the review
and evaluation of a development or construction permit application
including but not limited to a preliminary plan application, plat,
or other development application, where such engineering or legal
fees are incurred by the town in processing the application. The payment
of these fees shall be a condition of plat approval and development
approval and shall be a prerequisite to the acceptance of any improvements
or the issuance of construction or building permits.
(2)
All
fees or charges shall be paid in advance, and the town may request
that the applicant post a deposit to secure the payment of anticipated
expenses and fees. No action of the planning and zoning commission
or board of adjustment or any other board, commission or agency shall
be valid until the fees or charges have been paid.
(3)
An
application, including a preliminary plan application and a plat application,
shall not be deemed as filed or otherwise submitted to the Town for
approval until a deposit has been furnished to the town by the applicant
in the amount of professional fees that are reasonably anticipated
to be incurred by the town in the review and evaluation of the application.
