[Ord. No. 2012-06 § 13-18.1]
The office of Zoning Officer is hereby created. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer to enforce this chapter in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the "Land Use Procedures Ordinance of Lafayette Township" (Chapter
14 of the Revised General Ordinances). Pursuant to that duty, the Zoning Officer shall investigate any violation or alleged violation of this chapter coming to his attention. All applications to the Construction Official for building permits shall be examined by the Zoning Officer as to compliance with this chapter and all such permits shall be signed by the Zoning Officer as well as the Construction Official. The Zoning Officer shall require two sealed plot plans with an embossed seal prepared by a New Jersey Licensed Professional Engineer, land surveyor or architect drawn to scale and showing the size and location of all existing and proposed buildings, structures and other facilities sufficient to enable him to determine whether all zoning requirements are met. The requirement for sealed plot plans may be waived for additions, alterations or accessory structures to existing single-family dwellings and a sketch prepared by the owner or applicant accepted in lieu thereof. Where there is a question as to the size, location or other zoning requirement, the Zoning Officer may require a sealed location survey. In the event of any material deviation from the approved application, plot plan or building plans, the Zoning Officer may stop construction by posting a stop notice at the building site. The Zoning Officer and the Construction Officer, and either of them, shall have the right to enter any building or premises during the daytime in the course of duty after proper legal notification to the property owner or occupant of the property.
