B.
Application and Escrow Charges.
1.
The application fee is a flat fee to cover administrative expenses and is nonrefundable. The escrow account is established to cover the costs of professional services including any necessary studies regarding "off tract" improvements. Sums not utilized in the review process shall be returned to the applicant.
Applications fees and escrow charges shall be paid by separate checks in the separate amounts required by this chapter.
2.
If the amount of any escrow account, as required by this chapter, falls during the course of an application to less than 15% of the original amount posted, then, upon notice of the same from the Board Secretary, the applicant shall, within 30 days, bring said escrow account to a level of at least 25% of the original escrow deposit. Should an applicant not comply with the foregoing, the reviewing Board may deny the application without prejudice for failure to post the additional required escrow deposit. Within 90 days of such a denial without prejudice, the applicant may reinstate the application without payment of additional fees, other than the escrow deficit.
3.
In addition to the above, the reviewing Board may condition any approval granted upon the payment within a specified time period of any required escrow fees; and said reviewing Board may, as a part of said condition, void or rescind any approval if said timely payment is not made.
C.
Where one application for development includes several approval requests, the sum of the individual required fees shall be paid.
D.
Each applicant for subdivision or site plan approval shall agree to pay all reasonable costs for professional review of the application (as set forth above) and for inspection of the improvements. All such costs for review, unless otherwise paid as referred to above, must be paid before any approved plat, plan or deed is signed and all inspection fees must be paid in accordance with Section 30-902 D of the chapter before any construction permit is issued, and all remaining costs must be paid in full before any occupancy of the premises is permitted or Certificate of Occupancy issued. Payment of any bill rendered by a professional to the municipality with respect to any service for what the municipality is entitled to reimbursement under this chapter shall in no way be contingent upon receipt of reimbursement by the applicant, nor shall any payment to a professional be delayed pending reimbursement from an applicant.
