[Amended 6-1-1994 by L.L. No. 4-1994]
As used in this chapter, the term "Zoning Administrator" is hereby defined to mean the Building Inspector appointed pursuant to §
15-1 of Chapter
15.
This chapter shall be enforced by the Zoning Administrator.
A. No building or structure shall hereafter be erected or structurally
altered on any lot, plot or premises until a permit authorizing the
same shall have been issued by the Zoning Administrator.
B. There must be attached to an application for a building permit copies
in duplicate of the plans and specifications showing the character,
outside limits, size, intended use and location upon the plot of the
contemplated structures and the size, boundaries, existing structures
and location of the plot of land affected and the name of the owner
thereof.
C. A fee shall be charged for every permit issued, the amount of which
shall be determined, from time to time, by resolution of the Board
of Trustees.
D. The Zoning Administrator may require that a satisfactory drainage
plan be submitted as part of an application for a building permit.
[Added 6-1-1994 by L.L. No. 4-1994]
No building permit shall be issued by the Zoning Administrator
in any of the following cases:
A. Where the proposed construction or use of the lot does not fully
comply with the provisions of this chapter.
B. Where sanitary disposal facilities for the premises have not been
approved by the Suffolk County Department of Health.
C. Where a permit has not been issued by the New York Department of
Environmental Conservation, where such permit is required.
D. Where a permit has not been issued pursuant to Chapter
146, Sand Dunes, if such a permit is required.
[Added 5-16-1986 by L.L. No. 2-1986]
Every building permit shall expire if the work authorized has
not commenced within six months after the date of issuance or has
not been completed within 18 months from such date. If no zoning amendments
or other regulations affecting the subject property have been enacted
in the interim, the Zoning Administrator, may, for good cause shown,
extend either above period for an additional six months, following
which no further work is to be undertaken without a new building permit.
A certificate of occupancy shall be applied for at the same
time as the building permit, and a fee shall be charged for every
certificate of occupancy issued. The Zoning Administrator is also
authorized to issue a certificate of occupancy, upon application,
as to premises which were in existence prior to the effective date
of this requirement, provided that said premises may be validly used
or occupied under the provisions of this chapter for the uses to which
the premises are devoted and under the existing conditions. The amount
of the fee to be charged for a certificate of occupancy shall be determined
from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
A record of all certificates of occupancy shall be kept on file
in the Village Clerk's office, and copies thereof shall be furnished
upon request to any person having a proprietary or tenancy interest
in the premises affected upon payment of a fee therefor, the amount
of which shall be fixed, from time to time, by resolution of the Board
of Trustees.
Wherever a parcel of land shall be nonconforming, either as
to use or size, but shall have been in single and separate ownership
when and since the zoning provisions became effective which made it
nonconforming, the Zoning Administrator may issue to the owner of
the premises a certificate over his signature certifying that the
premises are entitled to be used for such nonconforming use and/or
to be built upon in spite of such nonconformity. In connection with
any application for such certificate, the Zoning Administrator may
require the applicant to submit proof satisfactory to him as to such
ownership and/or use. A fee equal to the fee charged for issuance
of a certificate of occupancy shall be charged for such certificate
issued.
