A.

Applicability. No structure shall hereafter be located, erected, moved, reconstructed, extended, enlarged, structurally repaired, or structurally altered, and no other action requiring a zoning permit under this chapter shall occur, until after the owner or his agent has secured a zoning permit or building permit. Every application for a zoning permit or building permit shall be deemed to be an application for a certificate of occupancy, governed under section 520-125.

B.

Application. Each application for a zoning permit shall include the following:

(1)

The name and address of the applicant, owner of the site, architect, professional engineer, and contractor.

(2)

A description of the subject site by lot, block, and recorded subdivision, or by metes and bounds (or plat of survey); address of the subject site; type of structure; existing and proposed operation or use of the structure or site; number of employees if related to meeting parking standards in this chapter; and the zoning district within which the subject site lies. The zoning administrator shall require the builder to survey the lot upon which the structure is being built if corner markers are not identified and lot lines cannot be accurately established without a survey.

(3)

A map showing the locations, dimensions, and areas of all existing and proposed structures; existing and proposed easements; streets and other public ways; off-street parking (including spaces), loading areas, and driveways; existing highway access restrictions; outdoor storage areas; high water, channel floodway, and floodplain boundaries; and existing and proposed street, side, and rear yards.

(4)

For structures intended for nonresidential use, an operational plan including the hours of operation; number of employees total and per largest shift; expected loading and outdoor activities; fire suppression measures; and emergency alarms, management plans, and contact information.

(5)

A list or copies of required federal, state, and county permits and licenses that will be required.

(6)

Additional information as may be required by the zoning administrator.

(7)

A fee as established by the village board and stated in the village's fee schedule.

C.

Granting of zoning permit. A zoning permit shall be granted or denied by the zoning administrator (or building inspector where the village combines the zoning permit and building permit) in writing within 20 days of a complete application (unless extended by written or electronic agreement of the applicant), and the applicant shall post such permit in a conspicuous place at the site.

D.

Expiration of zoning permit. The zoning permit shall become void unless visible on-site construction is commenced within six months from the date of issuance of the permit or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended at any time after work is commenced for a period of 60 days. The period of time may be extended by the zoning administrator if the delay was due to conditions beyond the control of the applicant. All permits granted under the terms of this section shall be valid for only 24 months, unless otherwise so regulated by the Wisconsin Administrative Code.

E.

Relationship to building permit. Where a building permit is also required for the project per chapter 218, the village may combine the building permit and zoning permit into a single application and a single approval.

F.

Fees. The village may require a fee for this procedure, as established by the village board and stated in the village's fee schedule.
