[Amended 1-7-2009 by Ord. No. 2009-2; 5-6-2009 by Ord. No.
2009-9]
This chapter contemplates an administrative
and enforcement officer titled the "Building Inspector" to administer
and enforce the same. Certain considerations, particularly with regard
to granting of conditional uses and planned unit developments (PUDs),
changes in zoning districts and the Zoning Map, and amending the text
of this Zoning Code require review and recommendation by the Plan
Commission and ultimate action by the Town Board. A Zoning Board of
Appeals is provided to assure proper administration of the chapter
and to avoid arbitrariness.
The Town Board shall designate a Town official
to serve as the Building Inspector and as the administrative enforcement
officer for the provisions of this chapter.
A. The duty of the Building Inspector shall be to interpret
and administer this chapter and to issue, after on-site inspection,
all permits required by this chapter. The Building Inspector shall
further:
(1) Records. Maintain records of all permits issued, inspections
made, work approved and other official actions.
(2) Floor elevations in floodland districts. Record the
lowest floor elevations of all structures erected, moved, altered
or improved in the floodland districts.
(3) Floodland use permits. Establish that all necessary
permits that are required for floodland uses by state and federal
law have been secured.
(4) Compliance inspections. Inspect all structures, lands
and waters as often as necessary to assure compliance with this chapter.
(5) Investigate complaints. Investigate all complaints
made relating to the location of structures and the use of structures,
lands and waters, give notice of all violations of this chapter to
the owner, resident, agent or occupant of the premises and report
uncorrected violations to the Town Attorney in a manner specified
by him.
(6) Prohibit use until approval. Prohibit the use or erection
of any structure, land or water until he has inspected and approved
such use or erection.
(7) Request assistance. Request assistance and cooperation
from the Town Attorney as deemed necessary.
B. The Building Inspector shall coordinate his efforts
with the Town Administrator and Town Director of Public Works to accomplish
the foregoing.
