The applicant is liable for any direct costs incurred by the Township during the
processing of planning applications including legal, engineering, and other
consultant fees. These costs shall be invoiced to the applicant on a monthly
basis. In the event there is a security deposit

of Planning Fees, the applicant shall be invoiced an amount to

Expenses incurred by staff associated with an application in excess of
Planning Act requirements
and actual costs incurred for such items as
advertising, consulting (Planning, Development Engineering, and other) and
legal will be charged directly to the applicant and deducted
from the
refundable deposit. As expenses and actual costs are incurred
on behalf of
the application, they will be submitted to the applicant for reimbursement
so

to pay further costs as they are incurred. In the event that the applicant does
not maintain the application fee and applicable deposits with the Finance
Department then the application will be considered not complete with respect
to the payment of fees under the Planning Act.
2.4

6
Where
a Development Application in respect of a Planning
Matter is referred to
appeals to the Ontario
Land Tribunal and the Township and the applicant jointly
support the application either as a decision by Development
Services
Committee prior to the filing of said appeal, or by way of settlement, the
applicant shall be responsible
for all costs to the Municipality
associated
therewith. Such costs shall include legal, expert testimony, and administrative
and overhead costs.
To secure payment of such costs, the applicant will provide the Township
upon
notice and/
or acknowledgement of an appeal to the Ontario
Land Tribunal, with
an initial deposit of $ 5,
000.
00 such amount to be increased by an amount
determined by the Township in the event the Township determines the nature of
the application indicates that $ 5,
000.
00 may be inadequate.
Where
a Development Services Committee decision(
s)
has been appealed
and
the Committee does not adopt the position recommended by Township staff,
then the following provision shall apply in the event the applicant obtains a
summons
compelling Township staff to attend the hearing of the Ontario
Land
Tribunal. Staff shall undertake
such preparations as required for the hearing
and the costs of such preparation and attendance at the hearing, including any
legal costs not otherwise
associated
with the hearing, shall be paid by the
applicant who has obtained the summons.
In this instance, the fee is $ 5,
000.

objections to amendments, the attendance of the Municipality
at Ontario Land
Tribunal hearings, the attendance of the Municipality at any public meetings
other than those formally required by the Planning Act, the preparation
of
Subdivision Agreements or the review and approval of engineering drawings
relating to subdivisions by the Municipality. The applicant agrees that, should
the above become necessary, the applicant will provide the Township with a
deposit which shall be determined by the Treasurer
on an individual basis,
and the applicant will provide
a written agreement to pay further deposits as
required, and to reimburse
any costs not covered
by the deposits.
2.
8
Refund of Fees: If an application
is withdrawn prior to circulation, 75%
of the
application fee may be refunded. If an application
is withdrawn after
circulation
but prior to a staff report being prepared, 25%
of the application fee
may be refunded. Applicants that participated in pre -consultation and pay the
fee as per Schedule ' E' and apply for applications under the Planning Act
shall have the pre -consultation fee deducted from the required application
fee(
s)
needed to facilitate the development proposal.
2.
9
Reactivation: Any application which has been withdrawn or which
has been
inactive for 12 months shall be considered abandoned and a full application

consultant to review supporting
technical studies on behalf of the Township,
the applicant shall be responsible for all costs, and those
costs shall be
payable upon submission of an invoice from the Township. In the event the
invoice is not paid in full, the application will be placed on hold and no further
work will be completed until payment
is received.

to the fees as set out in Schedule " E" attached
hereto and forming part of this By-
law,

application
and those costs shall be payable upon submission of an invoice
from the Township.
2.
12

hereto and forming part of this By-
law,
the Council of the Corporation of the
Township of Oro-
Medonte may, by resolution, reduce the amount of or waive
the requirements for the payment of the fee in respect of the application
where the Council is satisfied that it would
be unreasonable
to require
payment
in accordance
with the tariff.
