(a)

Until all applicable fees have been paid in full, no action shall be taken on any application or appeal. The schedule of fees shall be set by resolution by the Rochester city council.

(b)

In addition to the above fees, the applicant shall be responsible for all necessary engineering costs incurred by the city in processing applications for rezoning and/or site plan approval, and the city shall not be required to advance any of such costs but such costs shall be paid out of deposits of the applicant as provided herein. A deposit of 1½ percent of the total costs of estimated engineering improvements and services (as determined by the city engineer) shall be deposited by the applicant with the city before any such engineering costs are incurred. Thereafter, all engineering costs shall be deducted from said deposits as incurred from time to time. In the event said deposit shall be insufficient to cover all such engineering costs, the applicant shall be required to deposit such additional sums as are determined by the city engineer to be necessary to completely recover the remainder of said engineering costs prior to the continuation of such engineering services. An applicant's failure to so deposit such additional sums shall result in a cessation of further engineering services by the city engineer and may constitute an abandonment, as provided below, all remaining deposits on hand shall be refunded to applicant.

(c)

Inactivity on the part of an applicant for a period of 90 days or longer in the processing of a rezoning request and/or a site plan approval request, shall be deemed an abandonment of the application requiring the submission of a new application and repayment of the above fees, unless prior approval of the applicable board or commission is obtained for a longer period of delay due to extenuating circumstances.
