(a)

Certificates of Approval required before other permits. Certificates of Approval issued by the Building Commission are required before application may be made for a permit to move or demolish a Building or for a Building Permit to construct a Main Building, a Secondary Building or an Addition (except Minor Additions as defined in subsection (b) of this Section). Further, the Code Official may refer applications for certain Alterations to Main Buildings or Secondary Buildings to the Building Commission for a Certificate of Approval prior to granting a Building Permit.

(b)

Minor Additions. Building Commission review is not required for Minor Additions to the first floors of Main or Secondary Buildings when such Additions are less than or equal to 15 percent of the total square footage of the existing Building, provided that such Minor Additions shall be allowed only once every ten Years. Second and successive Additions within such ten-Year period require Building Commission review.

(c)

Façade Alterations. Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this Section regarding Minor Additions, a Certificate of Approval is required if the appearance of the façade of a Building on its Street-facing side will be altered, and such façade Alterations span over 50 lineal feet of the Building or 50 percent of the façade, whichever is less. A Certificate of Approval pursuant to this subsection is not required for:

(1)

The removal and replacement of like materials to the façade; or

(2)

The application of paint to or removal of paint from the façade, including applying paint to a previously unpainted façade.

(d)

Certificates of Approval for related fence, swimming pool, Accessory Building and Accessory Structure projects; one-year waiting period for certain types of permits after Building Commission approval.

(1)

Certificates of Approval are not required to apply for Permits for fences, swimming pools, Accessory Buildings or Accessory Structures when such proposed construction is the only work for which the Permit is sought. However, the Building Commission shall review proposals for fences, swimming pools, Accessory Buildings, and Accessory Structures that are part of a proposed project that requires a Certificate of Approval. Applicants should include all aspects of their proposed project in their applications for Certificates of Approval, including any fences, swimming pools, Accessory Buildings or Accessory Structures.

(2)

After the Building Commission issues a Certificate of Approval, new applications for Permits for those types of Accessory Buildings or Accessory Structures that could negatively impact drainage or privacy or that could otherwise create issues for adjacent properties will require a new Certificate of Approval from the Building Commission. Such applications will not be heard by the Building Commission for one year from the date of issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the project. Such applications include those for swimming pools; cabanas and pool houses; detached garages; and Sports Courts.

(e)

Violations. It is a violation of this Chapter for any Person to move or demolish a Building or to construct a Main Building, Secondary Building, or an Addition for which a Certificate of Approval is required until a Certificate of Approval has been obtained from the Building Commission as set out in this Article.

2.

Increase in impervious surface area greater than zero square feet in the Rear Yard, Side Yard, and Roof Drainage Basin. If the increase in impervious surface area from the existing Lot configuration to the proposed Lot configuration is greater than zero square feet, the applicant must provide a site drainage plan, signed and sealed by a registered professional civil engineer, that delineates existing and proposed storm water runoff patterns. The Site Plan must also show grading contours and flow arrows indicating the Lot's topography. If the Site Plan indicates an increase in stormwater runoff onto adjacent Property, the applicant must also provide:

Solutions may include Yard drains and pipes attached to gutter downspouts. Any increase in point flows will not be permitted.

d.

The term "impervious surface" means a surface that is hard and impenetrable that does not allow stormwater infiltration into the underlying soil. Impervious surfaces include Streets, roofs, parking areas, driveways, swimming pools, and walkways, any one of which are made of asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, or plastics.

e.

For reference, the term "pervious surface" means a surface that allows the percolation of water into the underlying soil. Pervious surfaces include grass, mulched groundcover, planted areas, vegetated roofs, permeable paving and artificial grass or turf (subject to the Code Official's agreement by submitted data sheet). Porches and decks that are erected on pier foundations that maintain the covered Lot surface's water permeability underneath are considered pervious.

f.

If artificial grass or turf is proposed, documents must be submitted to assist the Building Commission in determining the absorptive characteristics of the proposed materials and such material must be installed pursuant to the manufacturer's instructions.
