§ 158.482 ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT.
(A) In the application to the Building Inspector for a building permit, the applicant shall submit a plat of the building lot prepared by a registered land surveyor and a dimensioned sketch or scale plan indicating the shape, size, height and location of all buildings to be erected or altered on that lot and the location of any buildings already on the lot or, in the alternative, in lieu of a plat of the building lot prepared by a registered land surveyor. There may be provided to the Building Inspector with the application for a building permit a certification from a registered land surveyor that the proposed construction for which the permit is requested conforms with all setback, side yard and rear yard requirements and that all buildings proposed to be constructed are properly located on the lot for which the building permit is sought, either one or both at the discretion of the Building Inspector.
(B) However, the Building Inspector may waive this request at his or her sole discretion if the proposed construction does not require either a plat or certificate. He or she shall also state the existing and intended use of all such buildings and supply such other information as may be required by the Building Inspector for determining whether the provisions of this chapter are being observed. If the proposed excavation or construction as set forth in the application are in conformity with the provisions of this chapter and other ordinances of the city then in force, the Building Inspector shall issue a building permit for the excavation or construction. If a building permit is refused, the Building Inspector shall state this refusal, in writing, with the cause, and shall immediately thereupon mail notice of the refusal to the applicant at the address indicated upon the application. The Building Inspector shall grant or deny the permit within a reasonable time from the date the application is submitted.
(C) (1) The issuance of a permit shall in no case be construed as waiving any provisions of this chapter.
(2) A building permit shall become void six months from the date of issuance unless substantial progress has been made by that date on the project described therein.
(3) The city, or any officer or administrative municipal official, shall not be held liable for a permit issued in error or unintentional violation of this chapter.
