No building or structure (except signs exempt
from the provisions of this chapter) shall be erected, constructed,
reconstructed, altered, moved or enlarged until a building permit
has been obtained from the Administrator or Building Inspector.
Application for a building permit shall be made
in writing upon a form furnished by the Town of Grand Chute and shall
include the following information:
A. Name and address of the owner of the land and the
owner of the building or structure if different.
B. Plot and construction plans, drawn to scale, showing
the actual shape and dimensions of the lot to be built upon and the
exact sizes and locations on the lot of buildings or structures already
existing, if any, and the exact sizes and locations on the lot of
buildings or structures proposed to be erected, constructed, reconstructed,
altered or enlarged.
C. The existing and/or proposed use of all buildings
or parts thereof on the lot.
D. The number of families the building is designed to
accommodate, the gross leasable floor space of the building, or the
number of employees the building is designed to accommodate.
E. The location and number of required off-street parking
and loading spaces.
F. Such other information with regard to the lot and
existing or proposed buildings or structures as may be necessary to
determine compliance with and provide enforcement of these regulations,
including but not limited to a detailed plan of any existing private
domestic sewage treatment and disposal system.
If the Administrator or Building Inspector determines
that the proposed structure or building will comply with the provisions
of this chapter, he shall officially approve and sign one set of plans
and return it to the owner or applicant and shall issue a building
permit which shall be kept on display at the site of the proposed
building or structure.
Building permits issued on the basis of applications
and plans approved by the Administrator or Building Inspector authorize
only the use, arrangement and construction set forth in such approved
applications and plans. Use, arrangement and construction at variance
with that authorized shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
A building permit shall have lapsed and be void
unless substantial construction or operations described in the permit
are commenced within one year from the date of its issuance.
A building permit which was issued in error
or under a misstatement of fact by the applicant shall not create
any right in such permit, and the Town shall be entitled to revoke
such permit.
No building permit lawfully issued by the Administrator
or Building Inspector prior to the effective date of adoption or amendment
of this chapter shall be invalidated by the adoption or amendment
of this chapter. Such permit shall remain valid and subsisting subject
only to its own terms.
