Except for vacations initiated by the town, the party requesting a vacation shall pay a fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00) to the town at the time the request for vacation is made. The purpose of the fee is to reimburse the town for the time expended in the evaluation of the request, the preparation of required staff report, and the legal work required in connection with the request, including the cost of preparation and publication of the vacation ordinance. Such fee is nonrefundable. (Ord. 20, Series 1989)
