The fees set forth above are the minimum application fees required. When the actual cost of processing an

the application.

The expenses for such outside consultants may be estimated by the permit granting authority upon receipt of the
application, based upon the projected expenses of reviewing, evaluation, and processing the application. This
reasonable estimate, together with the appropriate application fee given above, shall be paid forthwith, and the
application shall be deemed incomplete until these fees have been submitted.

For the purpose of this ordinance an “outside consultant” means a professional who is not an employee of the
town including, but not limited to, engineering, traffic, environmental, and planning professionals.

Any portion of the surcharge fee not expended by the town on the project shall be rebated to the applicant upon
completion of the review, evaluation and processing of the application.

The Commission shall bill the applicant for any costs incurred by the Town in excess of the surcharge fee paid
by the applicant. This bill shall be paid by the applicant prior to the issuance of any permits.

This ordinance shall be effective 15 days after publication, as provided by law.
