This chapter shall be enforced by the Code Enforcement Official, who shall be appointed by the Village Board, in the same manner and with the same powers as now or hereafter practiced or provided under the Building Code.[1]

No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Code Enforcement Official, and no permit or license for any purpose shall be issued by any official of the Village, if the same would be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter.

No building or structure shall be erected or moved, nor shall any existing building or land be changed in use, until a zoning permit therefor has been issued by the Code Enforcement Official.

All applications for zoning permits shall be accompanied by two copies of a plot plan, drawn to scale and accurately dimensioned, showing the location of all existing and proposed buildings and structures on the lot and such other information as may be required by the Code Enforcement Official to determine compliance with this chapter. One copy of such plans, when approved by the Code Enforcement Official, shall be returned to the owner upon the payment of a fee in such amount as shall be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees.

In each case where a building or use requires site plan approval, the Code Enforcement Official shall refer the site plan for such proposal to the Planning Board for review before issuing a building permit. The Planning Board shall either approve, approve with modification or disapprove said site plan, stating the reasons therefor in writing in its records, and shall send a written notice of its decision to the Code Enforcement Official, who then shall act accordingly, either issuing a building permit, postponing issuing such permit pending compliance with the decision of the Planning Board of denying such permit. If the Code Enforcement Official does not receive any written communication on the case by the Planning Board within 45 days after he refers such case to the Planning Board, he shall assume that the site plan meets with its approval. Fees, in such amounts as shall be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees, shall be paid by the applicant to cover the expenses of the Planning Board review of his case, such fees to be in addition to the regular fee for issuance of the building permit:

In the event that the Planning Board employs the services of a consultant, including but not limited to a licensed professional engineer or a licensed attorney, to consult with the Board concerning an application for site plan approval in accordance with this section, the cost of such consultation services shall be paid by the applicant to the Village Board from time to time upon estimates submitted by the consultant but in advance of work to be undertaken by such consultant. Such funds shall be disbursed by the Village Board upon receipt of reasonable bills from such consultant. The application for site plan approval shall not be considered complete until such funds are paid to the Village Board.

No land shall be used or occupied and no building or structure hereafter erected, altered or extended shall be used or changed in use until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Code Enforcement Official in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code.[1]

All certificates of occupancy for new or altered buildings or structures shall be applied for coincident with the application for a building permit. Such certificate of occupancy shall be issued within 10 days after the erection or alteration shall have been approved as complying with the provisions of this chapter.
