§ 153.016. BUILDING PERMITS.

The following shall apply in the issuance of any permit.

(A) Requirements for permit. The excavation for any building or structure shall not be commenced; the erection of, addition to, alteration of or moving of any building or structure shall not be undertaken; nor shall any land be used; and an existing use of land shall not be enlarged upon or changed to a use of a different type or class until a building permit or certificate of occupancy has been secured from appropriate officials. No building permit or certificate of occupancy or zoning compliance shall be issued for any building or use of land where the construction, addition, alteration or use thereof would be in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.

(B) Expiration. All building permits shall expire one year from and after date of issuance. The appropriate official may grant an extension of such permits for not more than three additional months upon good cause being shown by the permittee.

(C) Sketch plan. Except where a site plan meeting the standards of § 153.085 is required, there shall be submitted with all applications for permits one copy of a sketch plan showing:

(1) The location, shape, area and dimension of the lot;

(2) The location, dimension, height and bulk of the existing and/or proposed structures to be erected, altered or moved onto said lot;

(3) Intended uses;

(4) Proposed number of sleeping rooms, dwelling units, occupants, employees, customers or other uses;

(5) The yard, open space and parking space dimensions; and

(6) Any other information deemed necessary by the Building and Zoning Official to determine and provide for the enforcement of this chapter.

(D) Inspection. The development or usage proposed by any building permit shall be subject to two zoning compliance inspections concurrent with the first and final inspections required by the applicable building code. It shall be the duty of the permit holder to notify the Building and Zoning Official regarding the time that construction will be ready for inspection. Failure of the permit holder to make proper requests for inspections shall automatically cancel the permit issued and shall require the issuance of a new permit before construction may proceed or occupancy may be permitted.

(E) Fees. Fees for inspection and the issuance of permits or certificates required under this chapter shall be collected by the Building and Zoning Official in advance of issuance. The amount of fees shall be established and amended from time to time by the county and the Village Council, and shall cover the cost of inspection and supervision resulting from the enforcement of this chapter.
