A. Application fee. The application fee for a waiver
of site plan shall be the sum of $250 to be paid to the Township of
Harrison and delivered to the Secretary of the Combined Planning Board
at the time of the application filing. Should the Land Use Board deny
the request for a waiver of site plan review, the application fee
paid in conjunction with the application for a waiver request shall
be applied towards the application fee for site plan review.

shall be paid to the Township of Harrison, along with an application
for a waiver of site plan review, and submitted to the Secretary of
the Combined Planning Board at the time the application shall be filed.
The Township of Harrison shall hold this sum in escrow, for use in
payment of all review fees and inspection fees which are generated
as a result of the application. Any sums not utilized in the review
or inspection process shall be returned to the applicant. A strict
accounting of all sums expended will be provided to the applicant.
In the event additional sums shall be required, the applicant shall
be notified, in writing, by the Secretary of the Combined Planning
Board of the required additional amount, and applicant shall promptly
submit such additional amount as escrow to the Township of Harrison.
In the event the applicant fails within 20 days to submit the additional
sums required under the minor site plan application, the application
shall be deemed incomplete and held in abeyance until such time as
the applicant shall correct the deficiency. In the event there is
any deficiency at the completion of all proceedings and hearings,
the applicant shall pay all costs in full before the Township of Harrison
shall issue any building permit. In following out this procedure,
the Secretary of the Combined Planning Board shall advise the Construction
Official of the deficiency. The Construction Official shall not issue
any building permit until all such deficiencies have been paid in
full.
