All fees and costs are to be paid by check or
money order (no cash will be accepted by the Secretary of the Board
of Adjustment) at the time of filing of the application. The Secretary
of the Board of Adjustment, upon receipt of payment, shall furnish
the applicant with an itemized receipt indicating amount of payment
received and the services rendered.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. (the Municipal
Land Use Law), the Tax Collector of the Town of West New York is hereby
named and designated as the administrative officer of the Town of
West Now York for the purpose of making and/or certifying any and
all lists of those property owners to be notified of applications
regarding land use as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-12c and/or as may
be required by any other provision of the Municipal Land Use Law.
A fee of $10 shall be charged and collected
from the applicant for each such list, said fee to be deposited in
the treasury of the Town of West New York.
Unless specifically waived by the Planning Board
or Zoning Board of Adjustment, hereinafter referred to as the "Board,"
each applicant shall be required to deposit in escrow with the Town
such reasonable sum as the Board may determine to reimburse the improvements,
legal and planning costs, recording fees and other reasonably anticipated
costs necessary and customary for examination and evaluation of the
application.
A. Time for deposit. Upon receipt of an application,
the Secretary to the Board shall advise the applicant of the estimated
amount of escrow deposit. The applicant shall, within two days, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, deposit such funds with the Town
Treasurer. These funds will be placed in a Town escrow account, to
be expended to reimburse the Board and/or the Town for professionals
and consultants, recording fees, planning costs and all other related
costs incurred by them on account of the reasonable cost of the services
and fees rendered with reference to the application. The Board may
increase such deposit after preliminary consideration of the application
where, in its judgment, the reasonable costs of review, evaluation
and analysis will exceed the estimate.
B. Return of escrow. If there are any funds remaining
in the escrow account for the application, a certification issued
to the Town Treasurer by the Board shall indicate completion of the
application procedure, and thereafter the remaining funds shall be
returned to the applicant as soon as practical.
C. Escrow required. The Board shall take no formal action
upon any application unless all application fees and escrow funds
have been paid to the Town Treasurer, except those provided to be
paid upon application for final approval, which shall be payable to
the Town Treasurer at the time specified. No application shall be
deemed complete until such time as all fees and escrows have been
paid or deposited.
D. Other fees. Fees for applications to the Planning
Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment which are not otherwise provided
by ordinance may be provided for and adopted as part of the rules
of the respective Board, and copies of said rules or of the separate
fee schedule shall be available to the public.
