  (1)  Reimbursable costs/escrow. For projects that contain significant technical detail that
  may require the use of outside consultants to review and assist the Town of Eden (Town
  Board, Planning Board, Zoning Board and/or Code Enforcement Officer) as part of the
  site plan review process, the applicant shall be notified and required to establish an
  escrow account to reimburse the Town for the legitimate costs of review or inspections
  associated with the application. The funds may be utilized for the paying of engineering,
  legal and other professionals qualified to review the required plans, reports and other
  technical information submitted in support of an application. The initial amount of the
  establishment of the escrow account shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, but in
  no case shall be less than $3,000 or a larger amount estimated by the Planning Board or
  ZBA to be reasonable and necessary to cover the cost of the review to be incurred by the
  Town. All necessary reviewing professionals assisting the Town in such reviews shall
  provide an estimate of the approximate cost of review services. The board(s) may
  periodically and at its discretion require the replenishment of the escrow account
  established hereunder, with justification and notice provided to the applicant. Upon
  completion of the application and review process, any balance remaining in the escrow
  account shall be refunded to the applicant within 30 days of the submission and payment
  of the final bill by the Town and payment in full of all application and approval fees. In
  the event there is a shortfall in the escrow account, no final approval or permit may be
  issued until the balance of the outstanding amount is fulfilled by the applicant.
