Upon the granting of a variance or special permit, or any extension,
modification or renewal thereof, the permit granting authority or
special permit granting authority shall issue to the owner and to
the applicant if other than the owner a copy of its decision, certified
by said permit granting authority or special permit granting authority,
containing the name and address of the owner, identifying the land
affected, setting forth compliance with the statutory requirements
for the issuance of such variance, permit or special permit and certifying
that copies of the decision and all plans referred to in the decision
have been filed with the Planning Board and Town Clerk. No variance,
permit or special permit, or any extension, modification or renewal
thereof, shall take effect until a copy of the decision bearing the
certification of the Town Clerk that 20 days have elapsed and no appeal
has been filed or that, if such appeal has been filed, it has been
dismissed or denied, is recorded in the Registry of Deeds for Hampshire
County and indexed in the grantor index under the name of the owner
of record or is recorded and noted on the owner's certificate of title.
The fee for recording or registering shall be paid by the applicant.
Unless otherwise ordered by the Building Commissioner, all applications
for building permits under the provisions of the Building Code of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be accompanied by plans in
duplicate. Such plans shall be drawn to scale, shall show the actual
dimensions, radii, and angles of the lot to be built on, the exact
size and location on the lot of the main building and accessory buildings
to be erected and such other information as may be necessary to determine
and provide for the enforcement of this bylaw, as amended. One copy
of plans filed by the applicant shall be returned to him when approved
by the Building Commissioner.
