The escrow fees are established to cover the Planning Board's
costs of professional services in connection with the particular application.
The professional staff includes, but is not limited to the following:
Board Attorney, Board Engineer, and other professionals as may be
required on particular applications. Any sums not so utilized shall
be returned to the applicant. In the event the costs for such professional
services by the Planning Board are anticipated to exceed the initial
escrow fee for a particular application, the applicant shall, upon
notice and demand, pay such additional sums to the Planning Board
Secretary. All final approvals are conditioned upon payment of all
required escrow fees; and the Board may cease consideration of any
application where additional escrow deposits have been requested and
not paid by the applicant.
[Ord. No. 155-89 § 3; Ord. No. 392-07 § 1]
In the event a particular application is not specifically covered by the fee schedule established in Section 26-2, the application fee shall be $100 and the escrow fee shall be $100.
[Ord. No. 155-89 § 4;
amended 11-25-2020 by Ord. No. 589-20]
In the event an application concerns several different requests
for a variance pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(c), the applicant shall
be required to pay the appropriate application fee and escrow fee
for each individual variance requested for all such variance requests.
[Ord. No. 365-06 § 2]
The Administrative Map Fee will only be charged to those applications,
such as subdivision applications, that require a modification of the
Borough's Tax Map as a result of the application.
[Ord. No. 155-89 § 5; Ord. No. 365-06 § 3]
