Any
new building construction or the construction of a structure in excess of One
Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) in value shall require the
issuance of a building permit by the Mayor.
Application therefore shall be made to the Mayor of Laytonsville by
furnishing specifications as to size and purpose for which the new building is
to be used, and no new construction shall begin prior to the issuance of said
permit. If construction is not started within one (1) year from the date of
issuance of said permit, the permit shall expire. (5/5/1981)
Each
application shall be accompanied by a filing fee as established by Resolution
of the Mayor and Town Council and shall not be refunded unless the application
is withdrawn prior to the time that it is considered and/or reviewed by the
Mayor.
The Mayor may condition the issuance of any
building permit and require an applicant for a building permit to post with the
Town, a bond or other financial security to cover restoration of any damage or
loss of use to Town property or public rights-of-way in connection with or
related to the construction authorized under the building permit. The Mayor may suspend or revoke any building
permit issued where the applicant has failed to post a required bond or
financial security or where the same has been terminated or not renewed prior
to the completion of construction. Amended
September 6, 2005.:
By
duly adopted resolution, the Mayor and Council, from time to time, may
change the
amount of the required filing fee, provided that the fee so set shall not exceed
the amount reasonably calculated to defray the actual cost of
processing the application.
(5/7/1981)
