Wantage Township City Zoning Code

§ 13-25.1

Zoning Officer.

The office of zoning officer is hereby created. It shall be the duty of the zoning officer to enforce this chapter in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the Land Use Procedures Ordinance of Wantage Township. Pursuant to that duty, he shall investigate any violation of alleged violation of this chapter coming to his attention. All applications to the construction official for building permits shall be examined by the zoning officer as to compliance with this chapter. The zoning officer shall require two sealed plot plans; with an embossed seal prepared by a New Jersey licensed professional engineer, land surveyor or architect, drawn to scale, and showing the size and location of all existing and proposed buildings, structures and other facilities sufficient to enable him to determine whether all zoning requirements are met. The requirement for sealed plot plans may be waived for minor alterations to the site where, in the judgment of the officer, the sealed plot plan is not required. Where the requirement for a sealed plot plan is waived, a sketch prepared by the owner or applicant may be accepted in lieu thereof. Where there is a question as to the size, location or other zoning requirement, he may require a sealed location survey. In the event of any material deviation from the approved application, plot plan or building plans, the zoning officer may stop construction by posting a stop-work notice at the building site. The zoning officer shall have the right to enter any building or premises during the daytime in the course of duty after proper notification to the property owner or occupant of the property.
