A review fee shall be paid by applicants for subdivision approval
for review of proposed major subdivisions which involve new road construction.
The review fee shall be paid in two payments.
The review fee shall be 5% of the final estimated total cost of capital
improvements (performance bond estimate), excluding water mains and
underground electric lines.
At the time of the preliminary plat submission, a fee equal to 1/2
of 5% of the preliminary estimated cost of capital improvements shall
be paid on account of the review fee. The basis for the preliminary
estimated cost of capital improvements shall be a unit price per linear
foot of road as shown on the preliminary plat; such unit price shall
be determined by the Planning Board.
The final payment shall be paid prior to the time that the Chairman
or Secretary of the Planning Board signs the final plat. The final
payment shall be 5% of said final estimate less the fee previously
paid on account of the review fee.
An inspection fee shall be paid prior to each field inspection of improvements (see § 162-43) in an amount which will recover the actual cost of such field inspection.
In the case of a resubdivision which involves a request for a waiver in accordance with § 162-60 (alteration of lot lines), the application fee to be paid at the time of the sketch plan submission shall be $100.
A review fee shall be paid by applicants for subdivision approval
for review of proposed minor subdivisions and by applicants for subdivision
approval for review of proposed major subdivisions which do not involve
new road construction. The review fee shall be paid in two payments.
The review fee shall be in an amount which will recover the cost
of the reasonably necessary consultant fees incurred on behalf of
the Planning Board incident to review of the proposed subdivision.
The cost to be recovered shall consist of the consultant fees which
are reasonable in amount and which are necessary to the accomplishment
of the Planning Board's legitimate functions.
At the time of the application for final plat approval, the portion
of the review fee consisting of the cost of the reasonably necessary
consultant fees incurred prior to the application for final plat approval
shall be paid. The final payment shall be the balance of the review
fee and shall be paid prior to the signing of the final plat.
In the case of a final plat which is divided into sections for filing
in the office of the County Clerk, the final payment of the required
review fee shall be paid prior to the signing of the final plat for
the first section. In such a case, in the event that further review
by the Planning Board's consultant is reasonably necessary incident
to submission of the remaining section or sections to the Planning
Board for signing, then a further review fee shall be paid at such
time in an amount which will recover the cost of the reasonably necessary
consultant fees incident to such further review.
