76-652. Duties of building administrator. |
|
(a)
Powers. The building administrator shall have the power to grant
zoning compliance and occupancy permits and to make inspections of
buildings or premises in order to carry out his duties in the enforcement
of this chapter. It shall be unlawful for the building administrator
to approve any plans or issue a zoning compliance permit or a building
permit for any excavation or construction until he has inspected such
plans in detail and found them in conformity with this chapter. To
achieve compliance with this adoption, the building administrator
shall require that every application for a zoning compliance permit
for excavation; construction, moving, alteration, or change in type
of use or the type of occupancy be accompanied by written statement
and plans or plats drawn to scale, in triplicate, and showing the
following in sufficient detail to enable the building administrator
to ascertain whether the proposed work or use is in conformance with
this chapter:
(1)
The actual shape, location and dimensions of the lot.
(2)
The shape, size and location of all buildings or other structures
to be erected, altered or moved and of any buildings or other structures
already on the lot.
(3)
The existing and intended use of the lot and of all such structures
upon it, including, in residential areas, the number of dwelling units
the building is intended to accommodate.
(4)
The signature of the fee holder owner of the premises concerned.
(5)
Such other information concerning the lot or adjoining lots
as may be essential for determining whether the provisions of this
chapter are being observed.
(b)
Permit approval; disapproval. If the proposed excavation, construction,
moving, alteration or use of land as set forth in the application
are in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, the building
administrator shall issue a zoning compliance permit. If any application
for such permit is not approved, the building administrator shall
state, in writing on the application, the cause for such disapproval.
Issuance of a permit shall not be construed as waiving any provisions
of this chapter.
(c)
Necessary facilities. Whenever an application for a building permit
and/or zoning compliance permit indicates the necessity for construction
of an on-site sewage disposal system and/or water well system on the
premises, the building administrator shall not issue such permit unless
the county health department has approved the site for the construction
of such facilities.
(d)
Exceptions denied. The building administrator is not permitted to
grant exceptions to the actual meaning of any clause, order or regulation
contained in this chapter to any person making application to excavate,
construct, remove, alter or use either buildings, structures or land
within the township.
(e)
Changes to this chapter. The building administrator shall not make
changes to this chapter and shall not vary the terms of this chapter
in carrying out his duties as building administrator.
(f)
Violations of contracts. The building administrator shall not refuse
to issue a permit when the conditions imposed by this chapter are
complied with by the applicant despite violations of contracts, such
as covenants or private agreements which may result upon the granting
of such permit.
