No building shall be constructed or altered in the Municipality
nor the use of any building changed nor vacant land occupied until
a zoning permit is secured from the Zoning Officer. Upon completion
of the work authorized by any permit, the applicant or owner shall
notify the Zoning Officer of said completion. No permit shall be considered
as complete or permanently effective until the Zoning Officer has
noted on the permit that the work has been inspected and approved
as being in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
All applications for zoning permits shall be made, in writing,
by the owner or tenants or authorized agent and shall be filed with
the Zoning Officer on forms prescribed by him. The application shall
include a statement as to the proposed use of the building; shall
be accompanied by a plan, drawn to scale, showing the location of
the building in relation to property and road lines; shall include
a statement that the side lines of all roads shown on the plan have
been located and staked on the premises by a surveyor or other person
competent to give such location; and shall give the name and address
of the person who has so located and staked the road lines. If the
applicant desires the Zoning Hearing Board to grant a special exception,
then, in addition, the application shall set forth the nature of the
special exception and shall state briefly the reasons why such special
exception should be granted and any other information the Zoning Hearing
Board may require.
The applicant for a permit, at the time of making the application,
shall pay to the Treasurer of the Municipality a fee in accordance
with a fee schedule adopted by resolution of the Municipal Council.
A copy of the receipt shall be forwarded to the Zoning Officer by
the Treasurer's office.
