Note # 1. Township Administrative Fee. This fee is intended to cover expenses incurred by township office staff when receiving and logging in an application, initial review by the Zoning Administrator, forwarding of applications and sets of plans to the Planning Commission or zoning Board of Appeals and/or to outside consultants for review. This fee also covers expenses incurred by the township for preparation, publication and mailing of public notices, as may be required by local ordinance and/or state law. Any services provided by the planning consultant in preparing the content of required public notices is to be paid from this fee. | |||
Note # 2. Non Refundable Consultant Fee. This fee is intended to cover the review of applications and plans by the township’s planning consultant. These review fees include an on-site visit, but do not include attendance at the Planning Commission meeting. The specific fees included herein are taken from the planning consultant’s standard fee schedule in effect at the time. Therefore, this portion of the township fee schedule should be updated from time to time so as to incorporate any changes in the consultant’s fee schedule. These fees are based upon the assumption that the applicant’s application materials are complete and that drawings have been professionally prepared by persons familiar with zoning requirements. The submission of incomplete, inadequate, or poorly prepared drawings, documents and/or application materials may result in the need to revise and resubmit these items. This may involve multiple reviews by the consultant and result in additional cost to the applicant. Adequate time should be set aside by the applicant’s professional design team to study and comprehend applicable local regulations prior to preparing design plans and documents. an optional pre-design conference with the planning consultant and the applicant and his or her design team is encouraged as a way to become familiar with township requirements. | |||
Note # 3. General Policy Regarding Escrow Deposit Requirements. The deposit shall be due when the application is submitted. The township will charge all review and inspection (not building inspection) expenses to this deposit, including but not limited to planning, engineering, legal and environmental assessment services. The escrow account shall maintain a balance of not less than 30% of the original (opening) balance. If the township determines that the account will require an additional deposit the amount of the additional deposit will be one-half of the original escrow amount to remain active. Any remaining funds in the escrow account will be released when the project is complete (all permanent measures are installed and functioning, temporary measures are removed and final inspections have been approved). Note: Minor vs. Major Revisions. A revision of a final site shall be determined to be minor if in the opinion of the Zoning Administrator (upon consultation with the Township Planner, as necessary), the nature and scope of the change does not substantially change the approved site plan. The refundable deposit for plans involving only minor revisions shall be one-half of the required deposit. | |||
Note # 4. Sign Permit Application Review. Review of sign permit applications for conformance with zoning regulations will normally be performed by the Zoning Administrator. | |||
