DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COSTS RESPONSIBLE PARTY
I understand that the Town of Oakland requires that the applicant be responsible for reimbursing the Town for all advertising costs
associated with this application, including postage for notices to adjacent property owners, and for newspaper advertising as
required by the Florida Statutes and the Town Code. I understand that I will be billed for these costs and will be responsible for
paying them, whether or not my application for annexation, zoning, future land use, and/or development approval is successful.
In addition, if this application is deemed to require review by the Town Engineer, Town Surveyor, Town Attorney or any other
required Town Consultant, I understand that I or my company shall be responsible to pay for any and all reasonable legal,
engineering, surveying, or consultant costs incurred by the Town of Oakland in the process of reviewing the above project pursuant
to ORDINANCE 2014-01 et al.. Invoices from the Town shall be paid within ten (10) calendar days of the date appearing on the
invoice. Full payment is a requirement for Town’s final approval or any such similar Application. The agreements contained herein
are supplemental to the Applicant’s and the property owner(s)’ requirements and obligations under ORDINANCE 2014-01.
I also understand that if this project property is sold, I or my company will be responsible to ensure that the new owner executes a
similar application form accepting all of the responsibility to pay for any and all reasonable legal, engineering, surveying, or
consultant fees incurred by the Town of Oakland in the process of reviewing this project from the date the property is sold. An
applicant shall provide prompt written notice to the Town Manager within ten (10) days in the event of a change in ownership of all
or a portion of a lot, tract, or parcel of real property with the respect to which an application, or project is pending before the Town.
Please sign recognizing your agreement with the above requirement:
All invoices for the costs associated with this project should be sent to:

The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that it is spending funds at its own risk in an attempt to obtain development orders, permits
and/or approvals from the Town or to otherwise develop the real Property, and the Town is not liable for reimbursing Applicants for
such costs and expenses. Individual Town employees, Town consultants, Town appointed officials and elected officials (including
Town Commissioners) have no actual or apparent authority to bind the Town on Application approvals and development matters,
except for certain limited matters that are expressly authorized by the Town of Oakland Code of Ordinances to be determined by the
Town Manager. The applicant shall not rely on and has no basis to rely on any written or oral statements of the Town’s employees,
consultants, or elected or appointed officials, except for the actual development order(s) or permits issued after final action is taken
by the Town on the Application pursuant to the standard applicable review and approval process. Often for development matters,
prior to final action being taken by the Town, the town must conduct quasi-judicial public hearing(s) where decisions on development
applications must be based on the evidence presented into the record at such hearing(s), including testimony and evidence
presented by the Applicant, City staff and consultants, and other interested parties. Moreover, often it is the case that multiple types
of development orders and permits must be issued before a development can proceed, so the issuance of one or more development
orders and permits, should not be relied upon by the Applicant for the likelihood that other required development orders, permits and
approvals will be issued. Further, the final actions and/or development orders or permits of the Town on development matters can
be challenged; thus, the Applicant should consult with its own legal counsel as to the reliability of final actions of the Town and
development orders and permits issued by the Town.
