(a) Fees; Escrow Deposit.
(1) The applicant shall pay a deposit fee to cover the actual cost to the Village of Edgar for all engineering work and inspections incurred by the Village in connection with review of the stormwater management plan and inspections of the implementation of the plan. At the time the application is submitted, the applicant shall prepay a deposit fee. Following initial review of the plan, the Village Engineer shall estimate the total cost of the Engineer's review and inspections in connection with the review and implementation of the plan. If the amount is estimated to be more than the deposit, the Village Engineer shall require the applicant to deposit the remaining sum required by the Village Engineer's estimate in escrow with the Village Administrator. The Village Administrator shall pay bills submitted for engineering and inspection out of the funds escrowed under this Section. In the event the amount deposited with the Village Administrator falls below twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount required to be deposited, the Village Engineer shall require the permittee to replenish the escrow to the original amount required. Upon final acceptance of implementation of the stormwater management plan, erosion control and right-of-way repair, the amounts remaining in escrow shall be refunded to the applicant minus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee. The Village Engineer may, at his/her discretion, waive or reduce all or part of the deposit.
(2) Fees shall be paid prior to issuance of the permit if the engineering review fees have been billed by that time. If billed to the Village after issuance of the permit, the fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days of its receipt by the applicant. Failure to pay such a fee within thirty (30) days shall be grounds for revocation of the permit, issuance of a stop work order, and/or charging the cost as a special tax against the property pursuant to Sec. 66.0703, Wis. Stats., at the discretion of the Village Board.
(b) Fees Established. The fees referred to in other sections of this Chapter shall be established by the Village of Edgar and may from time to time be modified by ordinance or resolution. A schedule of the fees established by the Village shall be available for review in the Village Engineer's office.
