The Village of Potsdam has the potential to
incur significant expenses in professional consultant review of applications
for subdivisions, site plans, special permits, zoning amendments and
any similar or related local, county, state or federal laws and procedures,
when such professional consultant review is necessary to carry out
the purposes of the laws of the Village of Potsdam. There is hereby
established the authority to submit any such land use application
that may come before any board in the Village to a professional consultant,
such as a planner, engineer, attorney, environmental expert, or other
professional consultant, as it may deem reasonably necessary, to enable
it to review such applications as required by law.
If any section, clause or provision of this
chapter or the application thereof to any person is adjudged invalid,
the adjudication shall not affect the other sections, clauses or provisions
or the application thereof that can be sustained or given effect without
the invalid section, clause or provision or application, and to this
end the various sections, clauses or provisions of this chapter are
declared to be severable.
