A.
The Code Official is authorized to estimate the total cost of construction
of a structure, building or project, by multiplying the total floor
area of the structure in square feet by an appropriate square-foot-cost
rate as published by the International Code Council. Structures or
projects for which it is impractical to estimate the total construction
cost by said square-foot-cost method shall be estimated by applying
current, commonly accepted unit cost figures to the various components
in a commonly accepted manner. In lieu of determining the total cost
of construction as outlined above, the Code Official may accept a
bona fide contract or any affidavit of the owner of the building structure
or project, in which the total cost of construction, including site
improvements related to the permit, is verified by the applicant and
owner.
B.
The method to be used for calculating the estimated value for the
construction of any building for the purpose of a building permit
fee calculation shall be by one (1) of the following methods in which
the highest figure shall be used:
1.
The construction cost may be taken as that cost which was submitted
on the permit application.
2.
The construction cost and permit fee may be calculated using
the most recent building valuation data report as published by the
International Code Council (ICC). This cost shall be determined by
using one hundred percent (100%) of the square footage cost given
in the table. The calculation shall be required in writing provided
by the applicant.
[Ord. No. 8487, 1-14-2019]
A.
Any freestanding commercial or industrial building which remains
unoccupied for one hundred twenty (120) days shall be maintained in
accordance with the following provisions:
1.
All exterior openings shall be boarded up with not less than
one-quarter-inch tempered Masonite or three-eighths-inch plywood,
cut to fit within the openings, fastened in place as securely as possible
and suitably coated with an appropriate neutral color harmonizing
with the exterior colors of the building as inconspicuously as possible.
Such work shall be performed in a neat and workmanlike manner.
2.
All signs and signposts, other than real estate signs, relating
to such premises shall be removed.
3.

is defined as hand-laid-in-place traditional block back-up, brick,
stone or any other masonry material as a face. Decorative and/or embossed
tilt-up panels may be required on all other portions of the building.
Tilt-up construction is the process of forming, pouring and curing
Portland cement concrete panels on the job site and tilting/raising

occurring earthy substances and subjected to firing in a kiln. Brick

properties. Molded, cast or otherwise artificially aggregated units
composed of fragments are specifically excluded. Materials specifically
excluded from the definition of exposed masonry construction shall
include, but shall not be limited to, all hollow masonry units (i.e.,
structural clay tile, facing tile, customized architectural concrete
masonry units, hollow brick units, etc.), all concrete masonry units,
glass blocks, plastic and/or composite blocks, metal panels, plastic
panels, plaster exterior insulation-finish system, precast concrete
panels or any composition and all cast-in-place concrete walls, tilt-up
concrete panels.
D.

Masonry shall not be painted, but clear sealers may be applied
if approved by the Building Commissioner.
2.
Any masonry that was lawfully painted may only be repainted
for maintenance purposes and only with written permission from the
Director of Public Works. In cases where there is a need to perform
maintenance on a painted area, the Director of Public Works or their
designee may review and approve any repainting for maintenance reasons,
provided that there is no change in color or texture.
3.
Repainting for reasons other than for maintenance of current
painted surfaces upon the approval of the Director of Public Works
and requests to change the color or texture of the existing brick
or masonry surface may not be done without the review and recommendation
from the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval of City Council.
4.
Nothing contained herein shall excuse or authorize the unlawful
painting or repainting of brick or masonry surfaces.
