A. With respect to any subject matter over which the
Planning Board has jurisdiction under Article 7 of the Village Law
of the State of New York or any other statute, the Board is empowered
to charge as additional fees to the applicant all costs of any engineers,
architects, surveyors, attorneys or other experts which the Board
finds reasonably necessary to engage for the Village in order to reach
a reasoned decision concerning the application. The Board may require
the posting of adequate security for the payment of such additional
fees.
B. The Board shall have the right to impose as additional
fees on the applicant all costs contemplated by this section, except
such costs as prohibited by law. Such prohibition, if any, shall not
be intended to render the remaining provisions of this section void.
