The Boston Township Zoning Board of Appeals and Zoning Commission may authorize the issuance of a zoning or conditional zoning permit upon finding site plans consistent with the purposes and objectives of this Zoning Resolution, consistent with any specific requirements and specifications included for the approval of a conditionally permitted use, and consistent with the requirements of this Resolution. Prior to authorizing the issuance of zoning permits, the Board of Appeals may seek expert advice or cause special studies to be made for input to its review of any plans or proposals submitted. Likewise, the applicant may be requested to volunteer to provide additional information or re-study all or part of the proposal, or to have additional studies done. The costs of securing expert advice or studies shall be borne by the applicant, and the applicant shall be notified of the cost early on in the review process. Funds for such advice or studies shall be placed in an escrow account with the Township Board of Trustees upon the request of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Board of Zoning Appeals may employ a consultant having expertise in planning, development, architecture, engineering, or other land planning and design professions, to assist the Township in the administration of these regulations. Such assistance may include preliminary discussions with the applicant prior to the submission of a site plan, the review of site plans and the preparation of recommendations for consideration by the Township's officials, the review of performance and compliance during construction, and the review of the completed project prior to the issuance of an zoning compliance permit or the release of performance guarantees.
