No. 4-2018]
Every application for approval granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter
145 shall become null, void and of no further force and effect, unless:
A. A permit shall have been issued pursuant thereto within six months
after the filing with the Village Clerk of the decision of the Board

[Added 5-9-2018 by L.L.
No. 4-2018]
The Board of Zoning Appeals may, for good cause shown, grant
a longer period of time for the issuance of a permit than that herein
provided upon the granting of an application for an approval under
this chapter, upon application made to it for such extension; provided,
however, that such application shall be made before or within six
months after the time for the issuance of a permit has expired, In
determining whether good cause exists for such extension, the Board
of Zoning Appeals shall consider, among other things, the nature and
extent of the construction and the complexity thereof, difficulties
causing delays in construction, availability of utilities, strikes,
scarcity of labor or materials, war or natural occurrences.
