[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Clay 7-6-1992 by L.L. No. 3-1992. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter shall be known and designated as
"Schedule of Fees of the Town of Clay."
The Town of Clay, recognizing the need to revise
certain fees previously adopted dealing with zone changes, special
permits, site plan applications, preliminary plat applications, department
fees and certain other fees relating to Town Board services incurred
for engineering, legal and administrative costs, intends herein to
establish a schedule of fees for such various services and to incorporate
same within the provisions of this chapter.
It is the intent of the Town of Clay by the
enactment of this chapter establishing a schedule of fees for various
services performed by Town departments and personnel, to rescind and
repeal any and all resolutions and regulations previously adopted
that pertain in any way to the fees hereinafter set forth.
