Board discusses revised zoning checklist and proposed escrow/fee changes; council outreach planned
Summary
Board members reviewed a pending revised zoning checklist (staff delayed by illness) and discussed recommended changes to escrow and planning fees that the township council questioned; members agreed to provide supporting documentation and be available to discuss a phased approach with council.
Members received brief updates on old-business items: a revised zoning checklist remains in progress and staff asked the board for patience due to workload and illness, while recommended changes to escrow and fee schedules have been shared with the township council.
Board members said council members questioned the fee increases and asked for supporting analysis comparing other towns. The council reportedly suggested phasing changes over multiple years; the board agreed to forward its fee rationale and be available for further discussion with council members.
The board asked staff to avoid pursuing fee changes immediately during a period when tax bills are issued and to coordinate further outreach and documentation so the council can see the basis for the recommended fees.
