THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Lumberland is doubling several Planning Board and ZBA escrow deposits because consultant review costs and engineer rates have risen. Site plan and minor subdivision escrows will now range from $2,500 to $4,000, and ZBA variance escrow rises to $1,600. This confirms active use of outside engineers and other reviewers and signals that future private development applications in the Town will carry healthy budgets for technical review, creating recurring work for planning, engineering, and legal consultants.
Letter cites higher rates of new engineer Richard McGoey as driver for increases.
