§ 475-9. Zoning permit required.

A. 

No building or structure shall be constructed, altered, rebuilt, enlarged or moved or excavation made therefor, or work begun thereon, until a permit therefor has been issued.

B. 

Applications for zoning permits shall be accompanied by a layout sketch, drawn to scale, showing the shape and dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size and location of all buildings or structures proposed as well as those that shall remain, the intended use of each building or structure, and any such other information with regard to the lot and neighboring lots as may be necessary to determine and provide for the enforcement of this chapter. Applications, together with a layout sketch, shall be submitted in triplicate. When the zoning permit is issued or denied, the issuance or denial shall be noted on the applications in triplicate by the person issuing or denying said permit and one copy returned to the applicant, one copy filed with the Town Clerk, and one copy kept with the Zoning Enforcement Officer's records.

C. 

The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall issue a zoning permit only after the site plan, if required, has been approved by the Planning Board and all required variances and special use permits have been obtained, except that no site plan approval shall be required in the case of individual one- or two-family dwellings.

D. 

The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall be notified that the site is prepared for installation of the foundation of a structure, and shall inspect the site to check the location of the structure.

E. 

If a zoning permit is not obtained by the applicant within 90 days after final approval, such approval shall be void.

F. 

A zoning permit shall be void if construction is not substantially completed within a period of one year from the date of said permit. The Zoning Enforcement Officer may issue a six-month extension of a permit for good cause shown. Two such extensions of a permit will be allowed.

G. 

The zoning permit shall be located in a place readily visible to the public.
