THIS AGREEMENT made this ________ day of ______________________________,
20____ among _______________________________________________________, (hereinafter
referred to as the "Applicant"), the Planning or Zoning Board of Adjustment of the Township of
Readington, (hereinafter referred to as the "Board"), and the Township Committee of the
Township of Readington (hereinafter referred to as the "Township").
WHEREAS, Applicant is proceeding under Land Use Ordinance dated 12/92 (the
“Ordinance”) for approval of a ____________________________________________________.
WHEREAS, the Board desires to establish an escrow whereby work required to be performed by
professionals employed by the Board will be reimbursed by the Applicant as required under the
provisions of the Ordinance cited above, and
WHEREAS, the parties feel that it is appropriate to reduce this understanding to written form.
WITNESSETH: it is mutually agreed among the parties that:
WHEREAS, the Board and Township desire to establish an escrow whereby work required to be
performed by professionals employed by the Board and Township will be reimbursed by
Applicant as required under the provisions of the Ordinance cited above, and
WHEREAS, the parties agree that it is appropriate to reduce this understanding to written form.
WITNESSETH: it is mutually agreed among the parties that:
1. PURPOSES
A. The Board authorizes its professional staff to review, inspect, report and study all plans,
documents, statements, improvements and provisions made by the Applicant in conforming to the
requirements of the Ordinance. The Board directs its professional staff to make all oral and/or
written reports to the Board of its conclusions and findings derived from the review, study,
investigation and like or similar duties performed as elsewhere authorized. The Board directs its
professional staff to attend all meetings, including public hearings or meetings, work sessions,
sub-committee meetings, site inspections or any other meetings necessary for the proper
evaluation of the Applicant's presentation and to thereby assist the Board in arriving at a valid
determination as to the merits of the application. The Applicant agrees to pay all reasonable
professional fees incurred by the Board for the performance of the duties outlined above.
B. In addition, the Township authorizes its professional staff to participate in any of the
activities outlined in sub-section A above to the extent that the Township may become involved
in the application and/or development approval process, including, but not limited to
development, sewer or other agreements to be made with the Township, ordinances, dedication
and acceptance of roadways, open space, easements or improvements, performance and
maintenance bond review and the like. The Applicant agrees to pay all reasonable professional
fees incurred by the Township for the performance of the duties outlined above.
C. The Applicant shall be billed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
professionals, including normal and typical expenses incurred in processing applications and
inspecting improvements. However, the Applicant shall not be charged for municipal clerical or
administrative functions, overhead expenses, meeting room charges or any other municipal costs
READINGTON TOWNSHIP PLANNING BOARD & ZONING BOARD APPLICATION FORM
P
AGE 9
and expenses except as may be permitted under the Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40: 55D-
53.2, et seq. and any amendments thereto or any other applicable sections.
2. ESCROW ESTABLISHED.
The Applicant, Board and Township, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, hereby
create an escrow to be established with the financial institution designated by the Township of
Readington.
3. ESCROW FUNDED.
The Applicant, by execution of this Agreement, shall pay to the Township, such sums as are
required by the Ordinance. Execution of this Agreement by the Township acknowledges receipt
of the sums referred to under this paragraph.
4. INCREASE IN ESCROW FUND
If during the existence of this Agreement the funds held by the escrow holder shall become
insufficient to cover any voucher or bill submitted by the professional staff and reviewed and
approved by the Board or Township, as the case may be, Applicant shall within fifteen (15) days
from the date of receipt of written notice, deposit additional sums with the escrow holder to cover
the amount of the deficit referred to above. The written notice referred to in this paragraph shall
be sent to the Applicant by regular or certified mail at ____________________________
or via electronic mail at ______________________________. Receipt of regular mail shall be
presumed to have occurred three (3) days after mailing; certified mail shall be deemed accepted
on the date of mailing; electronic mail shall be deemed accepted on the date sent if transmitted
before 5 p.m. on a business day, otherwise it shall be deemed accepted on the next business day.
The notice required under this paragraph shall be given by the Board or Township upon
discovering that the escrow amount has become deficient. If the Applicant does not deposit
sufficient funds within the fifteen (15) day period, the professional may stop work on the project
except for any required health and safety inspections which shall be made and charged back
against the replenishment of funds. If the escrow remains insufficient for ninety (90) days after
notice has been sent to Applicant, the Township may revoke the application or development
permit. An escrow deposit shall be considered insufficient if it has reached ten percent (10%) of
the original amount deposited or if a bill or voucher is received which exceeds the amount
currently on deposit, whichever is applicable. If the person, place or electronic mailing address of
the Applicant changes for the purposes of giving notice, it shall be the Applicant's responsibility
to inform the Township Clerk and the Chief Financial Officer of the change, in writing,
immediately.
5. TIME OF PAYMENT.
The professionals referred to in this Agreement, upon conclusion of their services, or, periodically
during the performance of their services, shall submit vouchers to the Township conforming to
the requirements established by the Board or the Township, as the case may be, for vouchers of
the type and kind referred to under this paragraph. Said vouchers shall include the amounts of all
fees and costs incurred as a result of the services set forth under Section 1 of this Agreement. At
the same time the vouchers are submitted to the Township, a copy of the voucher shall be
submitted to Applicant for informational purposes. Vouchers shall be sent to the Applicant at:
____________________________________________________________________. If
Applicant's address should change, it shall be the duty of Applicant to provide the Township
Clerk and the Township Chief Financial Officer with the new address immediately.
Correspondence or inquiries from the Applicant to the Township shall be sent to the attention of
READINGTON TOWNSHIP PLANNING BOARD & ZONING BOARD APPLICATION FORM
P
AGE 10
the Chief Financial Officer and the Township Clerk, Readington Township Municipal Building,
509 Route 523, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889.
6. BOARD REVIEW.
The Board and the Township, to the extent it is involved in the application, shall review the
vouchers submitted by the professionals to determine whether the services have been performed
in the manner and to the degree required by this Agreement. Upon making a determination that
said services have been performed properly, the Board shall process said vouchers in the same
manner and under the same terms as are normally employed for vouchers submitted for work
performed on behalf of the Township. At the conclusion of this processing the amounts specified
in said vouchers shall be deducted by the escrow holder from the escrow established pursuant to
this Agreement.
7. APPLICANT'S OBJECTION.
The Applicant shall have the right to make periodic inspections of the records maintained by the
escrow holder to determine the status of the escrow at any point in time by contacting the
Township for an appointment during normal business hours. Should Applicant object to the
payment of any voucher from the escrow fund, Applicant shall notify the Township in writing
within seven (7) days from receipt of the informational copy of professional's voucher. If
professional has not supplied the Applicant with an informational copy of the voucher, Applicant
shall notify the Township within ten (10) days from receipt of the Township's statement of
activity against the escrow account. Applicant shall simultaneously provide copies of the
objection to the Chief Financial Officer, the Township or Board, depending on the entity for
whom the services were provided, and the professional who rendered the service. The Township
or its designee shall have a reasonable time to attempt to resolve the matter. However, if the
matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the date the objection is received, Applicant may
appeal to the County Construction Board of Appeals within forty-five (45) days from receipt of
the informational copy of the professional's voucher. If Applicant is not in receipt of an
informational copy, Applicant has sixty (60) days from receipt of the Township’s statement of
activity against the escrow account to file an appeal with the County Construction Board of
Appeals. The standards of review to be utilized by the Township or its designee in determining
whether said payments are proper are: 1) whether the fees incurred were reasonable and 2)
whether the work has been performed properly.
8. INTEREST ALLOCATIONS AND RETURN OF UNUSED ESCROW.
If an amount greater than $5,000 is deposited by an Applicant in escrow, the money, until repaid
or applied to the purposes for which it has been deposited, including the Applicant's portion of the
interest earned on it, shall continue to be the Applicant's property although held in trust by the
Township. The Township may retain interest paid on a deposit, which does not exceed $100.00
for the year. If the amount of interest earned is greater than $100.00, the entire amount shall
belong to Applicant and shall be refunded annually or at the time the deposit is repaid or applied
to the purposes for which it was deposited, as the case may be, unless the Applicant, in writing,
directs otherwise. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Township may retain an amount not
to exceed 33 1/3% (thirty three and one third percent) of the entire amount for administrative and
custodial expenses. In addition, if the escrow account remains insufficient for more than ninety
(90) days after notification to the Applicant, any and all interest which may result from or arise
out of the deposits remaining in escrow shall be applied, if needed, towards the compensation due
the professionals as provided elsewhere in this Agreement. If any escrow balance is remaining
after the Board has granted final approval and signed the deeds, subdivision plat or site plan, in
the case of application reviews and deposits; or, after the improvements have been approved and
READINGTON TOWNSHIP PLANNING BOARD & ZONING BOARD APPLICATION FORM
P
AGE 11
accepted, in the case of improvement inspection escrows and deposits, then it shall be returned to
Applicant.
9. REFERENCES TO DAYS.
All references to days in this Agreement are to calendar days.
10. COLLECTION.
If the Township must institute legal action to enforce the terms of this Agreement against
Applicant, Applicant shall be responsible for reasonable attorney fees and costs.
11. SEVERABILITY
If any portion of this Agreement is declared to be unconstitutional, invalid or inoperative, in
whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall, to the extent that it is not
unconstitutional, invalid or inoperative, remain in full force and effect, and no such determination
shall be deemed to invalidate the remaining portions of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals the date first written
above.
