No building or structure shall be erected, enlarged,
structurally altered, demolished, moved or removed, wholly or partly,
and no excavation for any building, structure or use shall be made,
until a building permit therefor has been issued by the Building and
Zoning Administrator. Except upon a written authorization of the Board
of Appeals, no such building permit shall be issued for any building
where such construction, addition, alteration, moving or use thereof
would be in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.
There shall be submitted with all applications
for building permits two copies of a layout or plot plan drawn to
scale, showing the actual shape and dimensions of the lot to be built
upon, the exact size and location on the lot of all existing and proposed
buildings, the lines within which the building or structure is to
be erected or altered, the existing and intended use of each building
or part thereof, the number of families or housekeeping units that
a building is designed to accommodate and such other information with
regard to the lot and neighboring lots that may be necessary to determine
and provide for the enforcement of this chapter. All dimensions shown
on the plan relating to the location and size of the lot to be built
upon shall be based on an actual survey prepared by a licensed land
surveyor, and the lot shall be staked out on the ground before construction
is started. The Building and Zoning Administrator, after inspection
of the property, may require information relative to the lot grading
where the buildings are to be located.
A fee shall be charged for every building permit
issued. The amount of such fee shall be as determined from time to
time by the Town Board.
A building permit shall be void if construction
is not started within a period of 90 days or completed within a period
of one year of the date of said permit, except that such building
permit may be renewed by the Building and Zoning Administrator for
an additional period of time, under the same procedure and pursuant
to the provisions of this chapter, as they may apply.
The Building and Zoning Administrator shall
maintain a permanent file of all applications for building permits
and of plans submitted therewith, and records of all building permits
issued by him.
