A.Â
Legislative intent. It is the intent of the Board
of Trustees to protect the health, safety and welfare of those residing
in neighboring properties and the community at large from the impacts
of land development and to facilitate the expeditious and appropriate
processing and consideration of applications by providing the Board
of Trustees, the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and
the Board of Architecture and Historic Review with a mechanism by
which they can seek the assistance of legal counsel or outside professionals
and/or commission independent studies at the applicant's expense to
assist in evaluating any matter over which the respective boards have
jurisdiction. In addition to such services, it is the intention of
the Board to charge the cost of special in-house studies and out-of-the-ordinary
clerical costs to the applicant if reasonably related to the project/application
under review. In order to accomplish these goals, the Board of Trustees
is exercising its police power and authority under § 10(1)(ii)(a)(6),
(11) and (12) and § 10(1)(ii)(d)(3)[1] of the Municipal Home Rule Law; §§ 4-412,
7-712, 7-712-a, 7-712-b, 7-718, 7-725-a, 7-728, 7-729,[2] 7-730, 7-732 and 7-734 of the Village Law and any other
applicable provision now or hereinafter enacted to supersede and/or
expand on the provisions of Village Law §§ 7-712, 7-712-a,
7-712-b, 7-718, 7-725-a, 7-728, 7-729, 7-730, 7-732 and 7-734 and
any other applicable provision of law now or hereinafter enacted,
so as to require payment of such fees as a condition of approval of
the matter before the respective board, and the issuance of a building
permit or other Village approval, in accordance with an implementing
resolution adopted from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
B.Â
As a condition of processing any matter over which
the Board of Trustees, the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals,
and the Board of Architecture and Historic Review have jurisdiction
and pursuant only to an implementing resolution adopted by the Board
of Trustees from time to time setting forth the extent to which applicants
are obligated to pay the specified fees, the applicant to each such
board shall be required to pay for the costs of such independent studies
and/or outside consultants as may be reasonably related to the matter
under review. If reasonably required for the application, the costs
of special studies performed in-house and out-of-the-ordinary clerical
expense shall also be charged to the applicant. All such costs shall
be paid by certified check, money order, or a bank check and are in
addition to any other required fee. Within 30 days of the written
request for payment, the applicant shall submit to the Village Clerk,
for deposit into a non-interest-bearing trust and agency account maintained
by the Village, an amount determined by the board conducting the review
to be utilized by the Village to pay for such services during the
review process. Upon written request, the applicant shall be provided
with copies of invoices submitted to the Village for the work of outside
consultants as well as a written accounting of in-house expenses for
services rendered. In the event the sum initially deposited by the
applicant is not sufficient and additional funds are necessary, the
applicant shall pay such additional sums within 20 days of the date
of the written request for payment. After all reasonable charges have
been paid to the vendor(s) by the Village and the Village has been
fully reimbursed for its in-house costs, any balance remaining on
deposit in the account shall be returned to the applicant. In the
event an application is withdrawn at any stage by the applicant, any
unused portion shall be returned to the applicant. The charges assessed
to the applicant shall not in any case exceed the amount expended
by the Village and the cost of the in-house expenses, as the case
may be. The respective board shall audit the invoices submitted by
the outside consultants and shall reject any excessive or unnecessary
charges. The costs assessed to applicants shall include the cost of
environmental charges. The costs assessed to applicants shall include
the cost of environmental review pursuant to the State Environmental
Quality Review Act. In the event an applicant fails to pay the required
fees, then the subject application shall be stayed until such payment
is made.
