[1] Editor's Note: See Ch. 80, Art. II, Building Construction Administration, for additional provisions regarding building permits.

§ 194-138 Permit required.

No building or structure shall be erected, enlarged, structurally altered, demolished, moved or removed, wholly or partly, and no excavation for any building, structure or use shall be made, until a building permit therefor has been issued by the Building and Zoning Administrator. Except upon a written authorization of the Board of Appeals, no such building permit shall be issued for any building where such construction, addition, alteration, moving or use thereof would be in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.

§ 194-139 Application for permit.

There shall be submitted with all applications for building permits two copies of a layout or plot plan drawn to scale, showing the actual shape and dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the exact size and location on the lot of all existing and proposed buildings, the lines within which the building or structure is to be erected or altered, the existing and intended use of each building or part thereof, the number of families or housekeeping units that a building is designed to accommodate and such other information with regard to the lot and neighboring lots that may be necessary to determine and provide for the enforcement of this chapter. All dimensions shown on the plan relating to the location and size of the lot to be built upon shall be based on an actual survey prepared by a licensed land surveyor, and the lot shall be staked out on the ground before construction is started. The Building and Zoning Administrator, after inspection of the property, may require information relative to the lot grading where the buildings are to be located.

§ 194-140 Fees.

A fee shall be charged for every building permit issued. The amount of such fee shall be as determined from time to time by the Town Board.[1]
