Gambier City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 150
BUILDINGS
§ 150.01 PURPOSES.
The principal purpose of this subchapter is to preserve the architectural character of the village and to protect the health and safety of its citizens by regulating the demolition of structures and/or buildings. This section is intended to accomplish these purposes without discouraging new development.
(Ord. 1997-06, passed 7-1-1997)
§ 150.02 SCOPE AND APPLICATION.
The provisions of this subchapter shall apply whenever buildings or other structures are demolished, moved or removed, in whole or in part. All work of demolition or moving or removing of buildings or other structures, or parts thereof, shall be in conformity with the provisions of this subchapter and in conformity with accepted safe practice.
(Ord. 1997-06, passed 7-1-1997)
§ 150.03 PERMIT REQUIRED.
(A) No person, firm or corporation shall raze or demolish or remove a building or other structures, or part thereof, without applying for and obtaining a permit therefor from the Zoning Inspector. This permit is separate from those required for construction or other work regulated by the Building Code. The application shall be accompanied by detailed plans, with specifications, of the proposed final condition (including any and all new construction) of the lot after demolition. Within seven days of receipt of an application, the Zoning Inspector shall notify the Mayor and Village Council of the application. No action by the village or the Zoning Inspector shall be taken until 14 days from the date of application have elapsed.
(B) For applications proposing the demolition or moving of a building, the Zoning Inspector shall determine whether the proposed action will significantly detract from the village’s architectural and design character. The Zoning Inspector shall consider both the intrinsic significance of the building and its significance to adjoining properties and the village overall.
INTRINSIC SIGNIFICANCE is the overall value of the building or structure in reconsideration of its age, history, condition, cultural affiliation, human safety and contribution now or in the future to the economic vitality of the village.
(C) If it is determined that the demolition proposal will not significantly detract from the village’s architectural and design character, the Zoning Inspector shall make written recommendation of approval of the application. If the Zoning Inspector determines otherwise, he or she shall make written recommendation of “delayed approval”, not to become effective for a period of 120 days. This time period is provided to permit the village, public agencies, civic groups and other interested parties a reasonable opportunity to seek alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives might include acquisition or moving of a property to be demolished. The written recommendation shall be forwarded to the Village Council for final consideration and action by resolution. Within 45 days of the date of application, Council shall have finalized its decision of approval or delayed approval and shall give written notice thereof to the applicant. If delayed approval is granted but no alternative is deemed prudent or advisable at the conclusion of 120 days, the demolition permit shall be considered approved and the Zoning Inspector shall so indicate through his or her endorsement upon the plans and specifications submitted.
(D) A permit issued shall be construed to be a license to proceed with the work. It shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel, alter or set aside any of the provisions of the Building Code or other applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, nor shall such issuance of a permit prevent the Zoning Inspector from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans or in construction or of violations of the Building Code or of other applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. When the permit is issued, the Zoning Inspector shall endorse in writing or stamp on all application pages or plans “approved” with date, signature and reference to the Council’s resolution number. Such approved plans and specifications shall not be changed, modified or altered in any matter without authorization from the Zoning Inspector, and all work shall be done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The Zoning Inspector shall retain a copy of the approved plans for the village’s records.
(Ord. 1997-06, passed 7-1-1997) Penalty, see § 150.99
§ 150.04 TIME LIMITATION AND COMPLETION.
The approval of specifications for demolition is invalid if demolition and construction or other work upon the property has not commenced within 12 months of the date of approval of the permit. If in the course of demolition, work is delayed or suspended for more than six months, the approval of the plans and the specifications will expire and before any work may resume, the owner of the building shall resubmit the plans or specifications for approval pursuant to this section.
(Ord. 1997-06, passed 7-1-1997)
§ 150.05 DRIVING OVER SIDEWALKS OR CURBS.
No person shall drive over any sidewalk or curb for any purpose in connection with demolition or the delivery of material therefor or removal of material therefrom, or for any other purpose in connection therewith, without first having obtained permission endorsed on its demolition permit to do so from the Zoning Inspector and posting a deposit or bond, adequate to reimburse the village for any costs which may be incurred by the village because of damage or destruction caused thereby, and in the form and amount directed or approved by the Mayor and the Zoning Inspector. Such deposit shall not be returned, nor shall the surety under a bond be released, until operations have been completed and an inspection of the premises and adjoining premises, made by the Zoning Inspector, reveals no uncorrected damage or destruction. Any costs incurred by the village in correcting damage or destruction shall be deductible from the deposit or, when operations are performed under a bond, paid by the person, firm or corporation acting as surety.
(Ord. 1997-06, passed 7-1-1997) Penalty, see § 150.99
§ 150.06 STORAGE AND HANDLING OF MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT.
No material or equipment shall be stored or placed so as to be a hazard to the public, workers, adjoining property or to the structure on which it is placed. No fire hydrant, emergency call box, public utility box, catch basin or manhole shall be obstructed or rendered inaccessible, and every tree, lightpole and utility pole shall be protected and maintained free from damage; and no material shall be piled, or equipment or structure placed, so as to interfere with the proper drainage of streets or other public property. No material shall be handled, worked upon or prepared so that public property may be damaged thereby.

Temporary or permanent bracing shall be provided, as necessary for maintaining the stability of such party wall or adjoining building, whenever such stability is endangered by the removal of a building or other structure, or part thereof. Open beam holes in party walls exposed by removal of a building or other structure, or part thereof, shall be closed with approved masonry by and at the expense of the person causing them to be exposed.
(B) Whenever any building or other structure is to be carried above the roof of an adjoining building, protection for skylights, roofs and roof outlets of such adjoining building shall be provided by and at the expense of the person constructing or causing such building or other structure to be carried above the roof of the adjoining building, provided he or she is granted written permission to enter the adjoining premises for that purpose.
(C) No accumulation of water which may undermine foundations or enter the basement or cellar of adjoining property, or result in other injury to adjoining property, shall be permitted in any excavation.
