1. All filing, inspection, engineering and review fees shall be submitted to the Borough of Blossburg.
2. Plan Filing Fee. A filing fee shall accompany the preliminary plan. No application shall be accepted or acted upon unless payment is made to the Borough of Blossburg. The Borough Council shall create and amend from time to time by resolution a schedule of fees to be paid by the applicant to defray the cost of administering and processing of plans.
3. Review Fees.
A. Review fees shall include the reasonable and necessary charges by the Borough of Blossburg, and shall be set by resolution as provided in subsection .2 hereof. Such review fees shall be reasonable and in accordance with the ordinary and customary charges by the Borough Engineer or consultant for similar services in the community, but in no event shall the fees exceed the rate or cost charged by the engineer or consultant to the Borough of Blossburg when fees are not reimbursed or otherwise imposed on applicants.
B. In the event the applicant disputes the amount of any such review fees, the applicant shall, within 10 days of the billing date, notify the Borough of Blossburg that such fees are disputed, in which case the Borough of Blossburg shall not delay or disapprove a subdivision or laid development application due to the applicant's request over disputed fees.
C. In the event that the Borough of Blossburg and the applicant cannot agree on the amount of review fees which are reasonable and necessary, then the fees shall be recalculated and recertified by another professional engineer licensed as such in this Commonwealth and chosen mutually by the Borough of Blossburg and the applicant or developer. The estimate certified by the third engineer shall be presumed fair and reasonable and shall be the final estimate. In the event that a third engineer is so chosen, fees for the services of said engineer shall be paid equally by the Borough of Blossburg and the applicant.
4. An applicant shall, by filing a plan, be then obligated to pay the fees herein provided. The engineering fees required to be paid by this Section shall be promptly submitted to the Borough of Blossburg by the applicant upon the submission of bills therefor to the applicant from time to time by the Borough.
