No permit or fee need be issued hereunder for any single- or two-family
residential installation, nor shall any additional fee be charged for a permit
which is issued in conjunction with any building, electrical or plumbing permit.
The fact that no permit or fee and permit is issued or required shall in no
way, however, eliminate or lessen the requirements of the code, and all installations
or things shall comply herewith as though a permit had been issued and a fee
paid. The fee for permits when required shall be $4 unless otherwise set by
the Board of Supervisors by resolution.
In addition to the Board of Appeals, appeals may also be taken to the
Board of Supervisors.
These standards are the minimum required for public safety, and any
conflict with any provision of any other ordinance or law shall be resolved
in favor of the most restrictive of the two provisions.
The provisions of this code and ordinance are severable. If any provision
of the code or this ordinance is for any reason invalid, it is hereby declared
to be the intent of the Board of Supervisors to have enacted this ordinance
and code without such invalid provision.
Every day a violation of this ordinance continues shall constitute a
separate offense. Repeated or dangerous violations shall constitute a nuisance
and may be abated as such, and the costs of so doing charged to the persons
responsible in addition to other penalties.
