An application pending before the Planning Board, Zoning Board
of Appeals or Architectural Review Board shall be deemed abandoned
and withdrawn by the applicant, and shall be discontinued by the applicable
Board, after a lapse of 12 months without reasonable steps having
been taken by the applicant to advance the application, brought to
the attention of the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals or Architectural

connection with the application, and shall be responsible for reimbursement
to the Village of any reimbursable costs attributable to the application
which the deposit was insufficient to satisfy.
