(A) No action shall be taken on any application for any variance, ordinance amendment, site plan review, special land use, or any other review required by this chapter by the Township Board, Planning Commission, or Board of Appeals, unless or until fees connected with such application, as determined from time to time by the Township Board, have been paid.
(B) Where structures have begun construction or are occupied before any required approval is granted, the fees for such application approval shall be doubled. Payment of such fees shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the requirements of this chapter, nor shall it prohibit the township from pursuing the enforcement procedures and remedies provided by this chapter.
(C) The Planning Commission and/or Township Board may require the submission of a reasonable review fee which the township may use to pay for the services of a qualified attorney, engineer, planner, inspector, or other individual which the Planning Commission and/or Township Board deem necessary. Said fees shall only be used for the review of any proposal covered under the terms of this chapter. All such fees shall be held in escrow and any unused fees shall be returned to the applicant.
