The East Williston Board of Trustees voted on Monday, Dec. 9 to establish a non-refundable application fee of $550 and an escrow deposit of $500 for all Zoning and Appeals applications.
Board members said the additional fee is meant “to defray the actual costs or expenses incurred by the village on behalf of the applicant,” meaning the deposit will be held in escrow, so any administrative cost of a zoning application falls on the applicant rather than the village.
