No building or structure or any part thereof shall hereafter
be built, enlarged, altered, repaired or demolished within the municipality
or moved into or out of the municipality except as hereinafter provided,
unless a permit thereof shall first be obtained by the owner or his
agent from the Building Inspector. Permits required are as follows:
Application for a building permit shall be made in writing upon
a blank form to be furnished by the Building Inspector and shall state
the name and address of owner of the building and the owner of the
land on which it is to be erected, the name and address of the designer,
and shall set forth a legal description of the land on which the building
is to be located, the location of the building, the house number thereof
and such other information as the Building Inspector may require.
With such application, there shall be submitted to the Building Inspector
two complete sets of plans, an erosion control plan, a water calculation
sheet, an energy calculation sheet, specifications and two copies
of a survey, as needed.
A. Survey. The survey shall be prepared and certified by a surveyor
registered by the State of Wisconsin, shall be made in no case prior
to one year prior to the issuance of a building permit, and shall
bear the date of the survey. The certified survey shall also show
the following:
(1) Location and dimensions of all buildings on the lot, both existing
and proposed;
(3) Dimensions showing all setbacks of all buildings on the lot;
(4) Proposed grade of proposed structure, to City or village datum;
(5) Grade of lot and of road opposite lot;
(6) Grade and setback of adjacent buildings. If adjacent lot is vacant,
submit elevation of nearest buildings on same side of road;
(7) Type of monuments at each corner of lot;
(8) Watercourses or existing drainage ditches;
(9) Seal and signature of surveyor.
B. Plans and specifications.
(1) All plans shall be drawn to a scale not less than 1/4 inch per foot,
on paper or cloth in ink, or by some other process that will not fade
or obliterate, and shall disclose the existing and proposed provisions
for water supply, sanitary sewer connections and surface water drainage.
All dimensions shall be accurately figured. Drawings that do not show
all necessary detail shall be rejected. A complete set of plans for
residential construction shall consist of:
(c)
Complete construction details;
(d)
Fireplace details (3/4 inch per foot) showing cross section
of fireplace and flues;
(e)
Plans of garage when garage is to be built immediately, or location
of garage when it is to be built at a later date.
(2) All plans shall remain on file in the office of the Building Inspector
until the building permit is issued for the building, after which
time the Building Inspector may return the same to owner and keep
one on file.
At the option of the Building Inspector, the plans, data, specifications
and survey need not be submitted with an application for permit to
execute minor alterations and repairs to any building, structure or
equipment, provided the proposed construction is sufficiently described
in the application for permit.
All plans, data and specifications for the construction of any
building or structure or for any construction in connection with existing
buildings and structures, other than one- and two-family residences,
containing more than 25,000 cubic feet, total volume, submitted with
an application for permit shall bear the seal of the registered architect
or registered engineer. The plans shall also be stamped as approved
as required by the Department of Safety and Professional Services
of the State of Wisconsin. Such building or structure shall be constructed
under the supervision of an architect or engineer who shall be responsible
for its erection in accordance with the approved plans. No permit
shall be granted for such structure unless such construction will
be under the supervision of an architect or engineer, as required
by the Wisconsin Statutes. A written statement to this effect shall
be filed with the Building Inspector by the architect or engineer
along with the application for permit.
No building shall be repaired, altered or moved within or into
the municipality that has deteriorated or has been damaged, by any
cause (including such moving and separation from its foundation and
service connections in case of moved buildings), 50% or more of its
equalized value, and no permit shall be granted to repair, alter or
move such building within or into the municipality.
