When an application is submitted, the City will obtain a cost proposal from GMB for the plan review for all City and BPW infrastructure.
[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lewes as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 8-14-2023]
Upon receiving the proposal, staff will collect an escrow in the amount of 150% of this proposal or $5,000, whichever is greater.
Costs associated with the engineering review will be billed against the escrow, with a statement of charges provided to the applicant.
If the escrow balance falls below $5,000, staff will collect additional funds for the escrow account to keep a balance of at least $5,000.
Once plans are finalized, all consultant invoices are paid, and the development agreement is executed, staff will return any funds remaining in the escrow account to the applicant.
