A. 
Reimbursement Of Development Review Costs. Prior to the review of any development application by the City (this includes, but is not limited to, the review of preliminary and final plats, site plans, Area Plans, construction plans, landscape plans, erosion control plans, subdivision improvement agreements, development agreements and maintenance agreements), the applicant shall deposit with the City Treasurer the pre-established fee outlined on the City fee schedule kept at City Hall. The deposit will pay for development review fees incurred by the City, which include City Planner, City Engineer and City Attorney fees; any other required consultant fees or reviews required by the City; the cost to reproduce materials; legal publication expenses; public hearing expenses; and the cost to record documents. The City will draw on this deposit at the current rates billed by the consultants. Information regarding anticipated consultant fees can be obtained at City Hall or on the City's website (www.weldonspring.org).
B. 
The City will maintain a separate account of all fees and expenses incurred by the City as a result of development review. Regular statements of expenses incurred will be made available to the applicant by the City. As the City receives billings from the consultants, it will withdraw funds from the initial deposit until those funds are depleted. After that point, a project summary indicating the development review cost overage incurred by the City will be invoiced to the developer. Photocopies of consultant invoices will be available at City Hall upon request. In the event the applicant fails to pay the invoice within thirty (30) days of delivery, the City shall be entitled to:
1. 
Suspend all further review;
2. 
Cancel any Planning and Zoning or Board of Aldermen meetings scheduled by the City with respect to the review process;
3. 
Utilize the applicant's/development's escrow money to pay off any unpaid balance for development review costs incurred by the City;
4. 
Issue a summons citing the applicant for violation of these regulations and requiring their appearance in the City's Municipal Court.
C. 
Development Review Fee Deposit. Once the City is in receipt of the completed application and any pertinent plans, the applicant shall pay the City the pre-established fee deposit (the City Fee Schedule can be obtained at City Hall or on the City's website (www.weldonspring.org)). Once all applicable fees have been paid to the City, copies of the application will be distributed to the City consultants and appropriate staff for review. Review will progress until the fee deposit(s) for the project are depleted, at which time the applicant will be invoiced for any development review cost overages.
D. 
If the applicant fails to pay the invoice within ninety (90) days' of written notice, the City shall be entitled to certification of the assessment for a sale or lien for those costs on the land being developed.
