New Franklin Application Fee ordinance (§ 405.290)

A fee equal to the cost of publication, staff time and other costs incurred by the City including, but not limited to, engineering, legal and/or other professional fees, shall accompany each application for an amendment. This fee shall not be refunded unless the application is withdrawn before the first (1st) hearing notice is published. Immediately, upon receipt of such application, the Commission shall note thereon the date of filing and make a permanent record thereof. A deposit of two hundred dollars ($200.00) shall be paid to the City upon filing the application. Excess amounts under the deposit shall be returned to the applicant and excess amounts over the deposit shall be paid by the applicant. Failure to pay all fees associated with the application by the applicant shall be deemed an ordinance violation.
