[Adopted 1-28-2002]
[Amended 1-27-2003]
The purpose of this article is to establish
a schedule of fees pursuant to C.G.S. § 8-1c, which provides
that new applications to the Planning Commission shall fund the approximate
actual municipal administrative costs of reviewing, evaluating and
processing such applications.
A schedule of fees for the processing of applications
to the Old Lyme Planning Commission is hereby established as follows:
A.
Review fees.
(1)
When in the judgment of the Planning Commission project review fees in addition to administrative fees are required to cover professional, legal, engineering and planning review expenses, these expenses shall be paid by the applicant on an actual and reasonable cost basis. These fees shall be determined by the Planning Commission and assessed to the applicant after the appropriate administrative fees as set forth in Subsection B below are paid and the services are rendered to the Planning Commission.
(2)
All applications to the Planning Commission shall
be accompanied by the administrative fee or fees set forth hereafter.
Said fee or fees shall be paid at the time of filing of the application.
In addition, all such applications shall be accompanied by an agreement
executed by the applicant specifically agreeing to pay the aforesaid
additional project review fees as shall be determined by the Planning
Commission. The Planning Commission may, in its discretion, require
that the applicant maintain on deposit with the Planning Commission
a sum of money estimated to be sufficient to cover said professional,
legal, engineering and planning review expenses. The Planning Commission
may revise such estimate from time to time and require additional
sums to be deposited to cover such fees. Said agreement shall be executed
by the applicant, and such estimated fees shall be deposited within
15 days of the time of filing and acceptance of such application by
the Planning Commission or within 15 days of any Planning Commission
revision as set forth above. No application will be considered complete
until such fee or fees have been paid and such agreement has been
submitted.
