The provisions of this Article 17 shall be administered by the Planning Board, except as otherwise provided herein. Any appeal arising out of a Plan Approval decision by the PAA with respect to a Project shall be governed by the applicable provisions of MGL Chapter 40R, except with respect to a Commercial Project or other Development requiring a special permit or other approval under MGL c. 40A, in which case the provisions of MGL c. 40A shall govern only the portion of the Development for which a such special permit or other approval is required.
This Article 17 shall be enforced by the Building Inspector, who may require the submission of plans, specifications and other information which he/she deems to be necessary to determine compliance with its provisions. No Building shall be constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, altered, moved, removed or demolished as part of a Development governed by this Article 17 without obtaining a building permit. The Building Inspector shall withhold such building permit if such Building or such activity included in such a Development governed by this article would be in violation of this article. No actual use and occupancy (as opposed to construction and/or a break-in period testing) of a Building, a lot, or a portion of either of them shall be commenced or changed without the issuance by the Building Inspector of a certificate of compliance. The Building Inspector shall withhold such certificate of compliance unless the Building Inspector is satisfied that all work has been completed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable approved permits and of the applicable provisions of this article, and that the proposed Use will be in conformity with the applicable provisions of this article.
In accordance with the provisions of MGL Chapter 40R and 760 CMR 59.00, an Applicant for a Development located within the OSGOD may seek Plan Approval in accordance with the requirements of this Article 17.
