A.
The
Building Official shall issue no building permit for the erection,
construction, conversion, establishment, alteration or enlargement
of any building, structure or improvement, including fences, without
the approval in writing of the Design and Review Board, if:
|
1.
|
Same is commercial, industrial, institutional or multiple dwelling
in character; or
| |
|
2.
|
Same is a new design for a single-family dwelling or fence for
construction in the City; or
| |
|
3.
|
The Building Official finds that the proposed building, structure,
improvement or fence would be detrimental to the stability and values
of surrounding property by reason of its incompatibility and inappropriateness
thereto, is inharmonious and inconsistent with the surrounding property
or is inconsistent with the zoning plan and map and regulation thereunder.
| |
|
Exception:
| ||
1.
That the Building Official or his designated representative
have the authority to approve all swimming pools, residential additions,
garage and carport additions. All residential additions will require
exterior wall and roof materials to match the design of the residence
and colors and material that coordinate with the residence.
2.
That the Building Official or his designated representative
will also have the responsibility for the approval of residential
fences, provided that:
a.
A privacy fence on or near the property line must have a letter
from adjoining neighbors. If letters are not submitted, the Design
and Review Board will review the application. Privacy fences shall
have finished side to face out, unless circumstances preclude this
construction. If finished side is facing in, the permit must be approved
by the Design and Review Board.
b.
Construction of fence will be of professional quality and materials
will be of materials that will withstand all weather conditions, such
as wolmanized, redwood or cedar. If erected, would not be detrimental,
inharmonious or inconsistent with the property in the surrounding
area; that its erection shall not injure the rights of adjacent property
owners nor shall the welfare and safety of the public be adversely
affected.
c.
Applicant will be informed that chain link fences with material
such as wooden slats or plastic or metal strips woven through the
chain link will not be accepted as aesthetically pleasing in a residential
district and must be approved by the Design and Review Board.

cyclone and chain link fences, with letters from adjoining neighbors,
will be approved by staff.
e.
If any fence which legally existed on January 1, 1995, is removed
as a result of any road construction or any utility construction adjacent
to a public road, the owner of such fence shall have the right to
replace such fence within six (6) months after removal thereof, regardless
of whether such replacement fence shall conform with the requirements
of the Bridgeton zoning ordinance applicable at the time such fence
shall be removed or replaced. The Director of Public Works shall have
the right to extend the period to replace such fence by an additional
six (6) months.
f.
A building permit for a fence or fence repair is required when
the total linear footage exceeds twenty-four (24) feet in length consisting
of three (3), eight (8) foot sections installed continuously. A maximum
of three (3) sections may be replaced without the issuance of a building
permit.
3.
Patio enclosures that are of standard designs, full length glass
or screen panels, white in color and/or matching the residence in
trim color or would otherwise match the design of the residence may
be processed by the staff.
[Ord. No. 06-35 §1, 7-5-2006]

Within sixty (60) days of receipt by the Building Official of an application requiring Design and Review Board approval, the Board shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove such application. Failure of the Board to act within said sixty (60) day period shall constitute approval of said application. Such approval shall be deemed to include any stipulations made by the Building Official as the result of his plan examination. Under the terms of this Section, resubmission by the applicant of a conditionally approved, rejected or disapproved application shall constitute a new application.
[Ord. No. 06-35 §1, 7-5-2006]
Following the certification of such application and attached
documents to the Board, said Board shall consider same and may hold
a hearing on the matter, written notice of which shall be given the
applicant at least five (5) days in advance of said hearing as to
time, place and purpose and at which the applicant shall be accorded
an opportunity to be heard.
[Ord. No. 06-35 §1, 7-5-2006]
A.
The
Board shall approve or conditionally approve the application if it
finds:
1.
The application conforms to the zoning plan and map; and
2.
With respect to single-family dwellings and structures, the
subject matter of the application, if erected, would not be detrimental,
inharmonious or inconsistent with the property in the surrounding
area. Such finding shall be based on a determination that neither
of the following conditions will be created by erection of the proposed
dwelling or fence:
a.
Excessive similarity to any other structure existing or for
which a permit has been issued, or any other structure included in
the same permit application, facing upon the same side of the street

or inappropriateness exists, but further that it is of such a nature
as to be expected to provoke beyond reasonable doubt an adverse affect
on the stability and value of surrounding property, and that finding
is not based on personal preference as to taste or choice of architectural
style.
|
3.
With respect to the erection, improvement or alteration of commercial,
industrial, institutional or multiple dwelling buildings and structures,

sodded by the property owner or company which performed the land disturbance
upon completion and acceptance of the project by the City of Bridgeton

method of site revegetation.

building permit for such property.

The Director of Public Works may delay the sod requirement until
such time as he or she believes will be optimal for the sod to grow.

E.
Appeals to use another method of permanent revegetation in lieu of
sod shall be to the Board of Adjustment as in such cases as provided
by law.
