This Escrow Agreement made between the applicant hereinafter referred to as 
"Developer", and the Town of Hammonton Joint Land Use Board, (hereinafter) called "Town". 
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the procedure for Escrow Funds that shall 
be deposited with the Town at the inception of any application before the Town Joint Land Use 
Board. 
It is specifically understood between the parties to this Agreement, that the said Escrow 
referred to herein shall be payable before an application is deemed complete and shall be 
submitted by the Developer with the application to the Town. 
1.) 
The deposit required of the Developer and deposited into the Professional Escrow 
Account shall cover the fees associated with the required review of the application by 
the Joint Land Use Board Engineer, Planner or Attorney; and for applications submitted 
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55 D-70 d, such other professionals as the Town and/or Joint 
Land Use Board may reasonably require, which review shall include the written report 
on the application to be submitted to the Board. Prior to drawing monies out of the 
Professional Escrow Account, each professional engaged by the Board shall submit an 
Invoice to the Board Secretary for approval by the Town. Following conclusion of the 
Hearings and Meetings regarding the application, any unused funds deposited by an 
applicant into the Professional Escrow Account shall be refunded to the Developer 
upon application and approval by the Town. 
2.) 
Deposits received from any Developer pursuant to this Agreement shall be deposited in 
a Banking Institution or Savings & Loan Association in this State insured by an agency 
of the Federal Government, or in any other fund or depository approved for such 
deposits by the State, in an account bearing interest at the minimum rate currently paid 
by the institution or depository on time or savings deposits. The Municipality shall be 
responsible to have the Escrow Accounts maintained in accordance with N.J.S.A. 
40:55D-53,1. 
3.) 
The term Professional Personnel of Professional Service as used herein shall include 
the service of a Duly Licensed Engineer, Surveyor, Planner, Attorney, Realtor, 
Appraiser, or other expert or employee of said professional who would provide 
Professional Service to ensure an application meets performance standards as set forth 
in the Town Ordinances and other experts whose Testimony is in an area in which the 
Developer has presented expert Testimony. 
4.) 
A Developer may request that the Professional Personnel or Board Professional 
schedule additional time, in excess of that covered by the monies paid into the 
Professional Escrow Account, for review of a specific application. 
5.) 
It shall be specifically understood between the Developer and the Town, that any 
meetings in or out of the professional’s office, requested by the Developer, shall be 


Amended June 29, 2021
paid for by the Developer for the professional’s time out of the Professional Escrow 
Account. 
6.) 
A Developer shall be responsible to reimburse the Municipality out of the Professional 
Escrow Account for all activities including but not limited to the following: 
a.) Preparation for and attendance at special meetings requested by the Developer. 
b.) Review or preparation of Easements, Developers Agreement, Deeds or the like. 
c.) Review of additional Documentation submitted by the Developer and issuance of 
any reports relating thereto. 
d.) Charges for any telephone conference or meeting requested or initiated by 
Developer, his attorney or any of his experts. 
e.) Issuance of reports by Professional Personnel to the Municipal Agencies setting 
forth recommendations resulting from review of any documents submitted by the 
applicant, site visits and inspections. 
f.) Any and all other expenses of Professional Personnel incurred and paid by it 
necessary to process the application by the Developer for developments. 
g.) Preparation of a Resolution or memorializing Resolutions setting forth findings 
and conclusions of the municipal agency with respect to an application. 
7.) 
No applicant shall be responsible to reimburse the Town for any of the following: 
a.) Attendance by the Professional Personnel at any regularly scheduled meeting of 
the Municipal Agency; provided however that the Town shall be entitled to be 
reimbursed for attendance of its Professional Personnel at special meetings of the 
Municipal Agency which were requested by the Developer for the Developer's 
convenience. 
8.) 
The Town shall notify the Developer when said deposit into the Professional Escrow 
Account appears to be insufficient for any particular application of the Developer. At 
that time additional funds shall be deposited into the Professional Escrow Account 
based on an estimation submitted by the Town to the Developer of the amount of 
money needed to complete the Developer's application. No site plan, or subdivision 
shall be signed, nor shall any Zoning Permits, Building Permits, Certificates of 
Occupancy or any other types of permits be issued with respect to any approved 
application for development until all bills for reimbursable services have been received 
by the Municipality from the professional rendering service in connection with such 
application and payment has been approved by the Municipal Body unless the applicant 
shall have deposited with the Town an amount agreed upon by the Developer and the 
Municipal Agency is likely to be sufficient to cover all reimbursable items; and upon 
posting said deposit with the Town the appropriate maps and permits may be signed 
and released or issued to the Developer. If the amount of the deposit exceeds the actual 
cost as approved for payment by the Municipal Body, the Developer shall be entitled to 
return of excess deposits together with such interest as allowed by N.J.S.A. 
40:55D53.1. But if the charges submitted and approved by the Municipal Body exceed 
the amount of the deposit, the Developer shall be liable for payment of such deficiency. 
9.) 
No Professional Personnel submitting charges to the Town for any services rendered in 
this Agreement shall charge for any of the services contemplated at a higher rate or in 
any different manner than would normally be charged to the Town for similar work as 


Amended June 29, 2021
ascertained by the Professional's Contract of Employment with the Municipality. 
Payment of any bill rendered by a professional to the Town with respect to any services 
or which the Town is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement shall in no way 
be contingent upon receipt of reimbursement by the Developer, nor shall any payment 
to a professional be delayed pending reimbursement from a Developer. 
10.) The Developer and Town agree that the initial deposit into the Professional Escrow 
Account shall be made in accordance with Ordinance Chapter 40, 43-46. It is clearly 
understood between the parties that due to the complexity and/or the nature of the 
application, that if said deposit Is exhausted before final approval or final hearing on 
any application is complete, that the Developer shall place additional funds into the 
Professional Escrow Account upon request to do so by the Town based on an 
estimation of amount of professional review time necessary to complete the application.
