Point Pleasant City Zoning Code
§ 19-20.3
Review Fee Escrow Deposits.
[Ord. #2003-13, S 14; Ord. #2014-12 S 4; Ord. No. 2017-14]
In addition to the nonrefundable application fees set forth above, the applicant shall also pay an amount equal to the legal, planning, engineering and other professional costs incurred by the Borough in reviewing an application for development. The following schedule of review fee escrow deposits are estimates of these professional costs and shall be deposited with the Borough at the time an application for development is filed. Additionally, applicants shall execute an Escrow Agreement, in a form approved by the Borough Council, consenting to pay these review costs and specifically stating that, in the event the fees imposed are not paid, any development approvals granted shall be considered null and void. The review fee escrow deposit shall be held in an escrow account to the credit of the applicant. The Borough shall be responsible to keep a record to determine the actual review costs attributed to each application.
a.
In the event that the initial deposit is not sufficient to cover the professional charges incurred in reviewing an application, the applicant shall be required to deposit additional funds, as determined by the Borough. The approving authority shall not be required to process the application to take further action upon an application until such additional deposits are made by the applicant. If these additional deposits remain unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days, the development applications shall be deemed to be withdrawn and shall be dismissed without prejudice.
b.
In the event that the review fee escrow deposit shall be in excess of the amounts necessary to cover the professional charges incurred in reviewing an application, the excess funds shall be returned to the applicant within forty-five (45) days of the final action on the application or of the adoption of a resolution memorializing the decision, whichever occurs later.
