(A) The Town presently requires developers and other applicants for permits to develop real property to pay fees to mitigate the fiscal impact of processing applications.

(B) The costs associated with defending a legal action brought by a third party challenging the Town's approval of a permit or entitlement for development should be a cost burden of the real party-in-interest who is the applicant for such development and not the Town.
