[Adopted 11-10-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-45; amended in its entirety 5-22-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-12]
A permit to begin work for new construction, alteration, removal,
demolition or other building operations shall not be issued until
all of the applicable fees have been paid to, and all construction
security prescribed in this article has been deposited with, the Building
Commissioner, or his or her designee, or other authorized agency of
the jurisdiction, nor shall an amendment to a permit necessitating
any additional or increased fee or security be approved until the
additional or increased fee or security shall have been paid or deposited.
Fees for application, review and inspections, building permits,
certificates of occupancy, posting, construction truck permits, sign
permits and temporary sign permits shall be set forth in the Bannockburn
Fee Schedule.
In interpreting the fee requirements, the following guidelines
should be applied:
A.
Area computations. Refer to floor space unless specifically noted
otherwise.
B.
Volume computations. Residential volume shall be computed on the
exterior dimensions of the building, and shall include all space above
the lowest level of the foundation wall and below the ceiling or bottom
cord of the roof truss of the uppermost floor. Nonresidential volume
shall be computed on the exterior dimensions of the building, and
shall include all space between the lowest level of the foundation
wall footing and the top of the roof sheathing. Where an equipment
room tower or similar facility is constructed, the volume shall include
this area.
C.
Areas affected. Area and volume computations, with respect to remodeling,
alterations, and other work not considered to be either an addition
or new construction, shall be determined with reference to the areas
or rooms served or affected by the work.
D.
Fractions. For the purposes of computing fees, fractions of 1/2 or
more of a unit of area, volume, time, or cost shall constitute a full
unit, and lesser fractions of a unit shall be omitted.
E.
Construction value. The estimated cost of construction shall be determined
on the basis of the fair market value.
F.
Method of computation. For any work for which a permit is required
under this code, area, volume, and cost shall be computed in the following
manner: The owner or his/her representative shall submit a computation
at the time he or she makes application for a permit. The Code Official
may accept such computation or determination; or the Code Official
may require a certificate from a licensed professional engineer, structural
engineer or architect, or an affidavit from the owner or his/her representative,
which computation or determination may then be accepted by the Code
Official; or the Code Official may make such computation or determination
as Code Official. The Code Official shall not require both the certificate
and affidavit mentioned herein.
G.
Inconsistent fee ordinances. Where a provision of another ordinance
of the Village establishes a fee not consistent with any provision
of this article, then the provision with the more recently adopted
fee shall prevail.
In the case of construction, repairs, or alterations performed
by churches, temples, schools, universities, seminaries, or other
charitable, educational or eleemosynary institutions, all temporary
sign permit fees shall be stated in the Bannockburn Fee Schedule,
and building permit fees shall be 60% of the fee otherwise due in
accordance with the Bannockburn Fee Schedule as determined by the
Code Official.
Any project for which a permit extension has been granted pursuant
to Section 105.5.1 of the ICC Building Code/2003 shall pay a permit
extension fee in an amount equal to 33% of the original building permit
fee.
In addition to the permit fees set forth in the Bannockburn
Fee Schedule, prior to the issuance of any building permit under this
article, the applicant shall deliver to the Village a cash deposit
as security for the completion of the permitted activity in accordance
with all applicable Village codes, ordinances, and regulations. Upon
completion of all work and issuance of a certificate of occupancy
for the work to be undertaken pursuant to a permit, the Village shall
return such construction security to the applicant or the applicant's
designee, less any amounts due for additional inspection, reimbursements,
or permit fees, unpaid fines, or any unpaid charges for damage done
during the construction project to any Village property or facility.
The amount of the construction security shall be set forth in the
Bannockburn Fee Schedule.
The Code Official shall keep an accurate account of all fees
and deposits collected and received for building and sign permits;
and such collected fees and deposits shall be deposited monthly in
the jurisdiction treasury, or otherwise disposed of as required by
law.
