A.
In addition to the above-stated fees and consideration of direct
costs related to the satisfaction of publication and other noticing

with the provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality Review
Act (SEQRA), Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Title

Said expenses shall include all costs incurred for the services of
private engineering, legal or planning consultants or any other experts

For purposes of reimbursement under this section, the Town shall
assess all SEQRA-related costs from the time of receipt of an environmental
assessment form (EAF) to completion of the SEQR process through issuance
of either a negative declaration (determination of nonsignificance)
or a findings statement.
