Subd. 3.

The administrative permit shall terminate six (6) months from its date of issuance, or within thirty (30) days after a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Building Official for the permanent structure, whichever occurs first. The permit may be extended for an additional 90 days at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator.
