No person shall construct, alter, rebuild, enlarge, erect, extend, place or relocate any sign, permanent or temporary, without first filing with the zoning administrator a written application and obtaining a permit except for exempt signs. (See section 15.24.140 of this chapter.) Such application shall be submitted in duplicate and shall contain such information and drawings as may be required by the zoning administrator but at a minimum shall contain the names of the property owner(s), and name of the person responsible for the sign and drawings of the sign or structure showing type, size, location and means of support or method of attachment. The administrator may require that all plans be drawn by a registered architect or structural engineer. The fee for such permit shall be established by the village board of trustees. (If the applicant for a permit is not the property owner, then the applicant must provide proof of the owner’s consent for the placement of a sign on the property.) No permit shall be issued to a person who has failed to pay any fine, penalty or debt owing to the Village (“Village Debt”). A person whose permit application is rejected based on a Village Debt may appeal the decision, which appeal must be in writing and filed with the Village Clerk within ten (10) days following the decision. The written appeal must include the basis for contesting the Village Debt and other information that will help the applicant’s case. Within the body of the written appeal, the Applicant may also request a hearing to contest the Village Debt. The Village Administrator will set a hearing date within ten (10) days of the receipt of the written request for hearing and will rule on any appeals that are timely filed. If a timely written appeal is not filed, the Village Debt will be considered final. (Ord 2019-O-24 § 24: Ord. 2015-O-21)
