Every new structure, excluding additions, which is erected within the
Township of Franklin is subject to setback and side yard requirements. In
order to monitor the compliance with the applicable side yard and setback
requirements, the owner or his designated agents, such as but not limited
to the building contractor, subcontractors etc., will be required by the Township
of Franklin to submit a certified location drawing prepared by a licensed
engineer or surveyor setting forth the location of the installed foundation.
The certification shall be submitted to the Franklin Township Construction
Official prior to the owner of the property and/or their designated agents
commencing framing of the structure.
[Amended 3-10-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-9]
A. Should any person(s), owner(s), landlord(s) or their agent(s) fail to submit a certified location drawing to the Franklin Township Building Code Official as required by §
53-2, an immediate stop-work order relative to the project will issue and under no circumstances will a certificate of occupancy or a temporary certificate of occupancy issue and/or that person, owner, landlord or their agents shall be subject to a fine of not more than $250.
B. If the foundation has been installed prematurely, any
person(s), owner(s), landlord(s) or their agent(s) shall be subject to a fine
of not more than $250, and the Building Official shall confirm that all side
yard and setback requirements have been complied with prior to issuing a certificate
of occupancy or a temporary certificate of occupancy.
If the Building Code Official determines that side yard and setbacks
have not been complied with, the stop-work order shall not issue nor shall
a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy issue, until
such time as any and all remedial work necessary in order to comply with the
side yard and setback requirements has been undertaken and completed to the
satisfaction of the Building Code Official.
