Menahga City Zoning Code
§ 151.61
LAND USE ZONING PERMITS.
(A) Permits are required for all new structures, and any change in structure dimensions, structural components, construction or repair of a city sewage system, and any grading and filling in shoreland are not exempted by this chapter. Permits shall only be issued to the owner of the property.
(B) Where a proposed use requires the action of the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, or Council or posting of financial security, said action shall occur. The conditional use permit, variance, zoning district change, final plat plan approval, metes, and bound division approval shall be issued, or security posted before the zoning permit is issued.
(C) The city shall only accept applications where the applicant has past due fees or charges due to the city once the account is made current.
(D) The Zoning Administrator shall accept no applications from a property having outstanding violations.
(E) The required permits shall contain the parcel number of the property, the signature of the fee or contract owner, and any other reasonable information needed to determine compliance with this chapter.
(F) Lot corners shall be visible on the lot. The Zoning Administrator may require a new survey when stakes are not visible or have been removed through erosion, construction, or other action and require a new certificate with existing and recorded dimensions. The decision of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and forwarded to the City Council for a final decision.
(G) Where a permit has been issued but no action has occurred within 24 months, the zoning permit shall be null and void. After that time a new application must be submitted, and a new fee must be paid.
(H) Granting of a permit shall occur when all requirements of this chapter have been met but shall not be considered a statement of compliance with regional, state, or federal codes, statutes, or laws or approval of the design of the structure or accessories, or description of the property. Subsequent actions of the Zoning Administrator shall not be considered acceptance of structural components or quality but rather to determine general compliance with this chapter.
(I) If the Zoning Administrator determines that any violation of the permit or other section of this chapter has occurred, the access shall become null and void.
(J) As determined by the Zoning Administrator, additional permits may be required.
