The applicant must provide the Building Inspector with all data reasonably necessary for him/her to issue such temporary permit(s), including an application and fee for a temporary building permit.
C. 
Temporary permits for any temporary office of construction trailers for emergency use due to an unforeseen or catastrophic situation may be issued by the Building Inspector for the duration of the need but not more than six months, and removed based upon written agreement at such time that a new building permit or other certification of occupancy or use can be issued for that portion of the property for which the trailer or office was required.
