REGARDING SITE PLAN APPROVAL FEE SCHEDULE FOR ENGINEERING DEPOSITS
Attorney Humphreys explained that this site was engineered many times when the Stop & Shop etc.was in Site
Plan Review,that the septic has already been installed and,that the applicant must now apply for a Stormwater
Management Review which has a large fee associated with it. Humphreys requested that the Engineering Deposit
be reduced from$10,000 to $5,000 and the Legal Fee be reduced from$2,000 to$1,000 so the difference can be
applied to the Stormwater Management Review fee. Humphreys agreed to draft an agreement that would require
the applicant to bring his engineering and legal deposits up to $10,000 and$2,000 respectively if he is late in
delivering additional deposits when his balance falls below 50%.
MOTION: By Member Ivimey to approve the$5,000 Engineering Deposit and $1,000 Legal Deposit,
which will be replenished when the balance drops below 50% and which will be revert back to the original
$10,000 and$2,000 if request for additional deposits is late and before public hearings will continue.
