Where the Village finds that unnecessary hardship may result from strict compliance with these regulations, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done, provided that the public interest is secured and that such exceptions will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations.

Any modification or exception thus granted shall be entered in the minutes of the Village Board setting forth the reasons which, in the judgment of the Village, justified the modification or variance.

Appeals by land dividers of certified survey map decisions by the Plan Commission may be filed with the Village Board. Appeals must be filed within thirty (30) days of the decision being appealed.

§ 15.074 Reimbursement of Village’s administrative costs.

(1)

Cost reimbursement; fees; agreements. Applicants for any land division shall reimburse the Village for all administrative and engineering costs incurred in the process of reviewing and acting on land division applications under this chapter, and shall pay any related fees, execute a cost recovery agreement, and provide the deposit or surety as required under the Village fee schedule. The Village Administrator is authorized to execute a cost recovery agreement required under this section if the form of the agreement is approved by the Village Attorney.

Deposits. To secure payment of costs, a deposit may be required in such sum as determined by the Village and paid to the Village at the time the land division application is submitted. If all the expenses incurred by the Village are reimbursed timely, the deposit shall be refunded within thirty (30) days after final action on the application. If the applicant fails to reimburse the Village within thirty (30) days of any billing, the Village may withhold all further review or processing of the application or any other Village approval until such costs are paid. In addition, the Village may draw down any deposits in the event that the fees and costs incurred by the Village in reviewing and processing any land division are not timely paid by the applicant.
