(A) Permits required. Except as specifically provided by this chapter, it is unlawful for any person to erect, alter, or relocate within the city any sign, without first obtaining a permit(s) from the Sign Ordinance Administrator and making payment of the fee required. Application for permits must be made upon application forms provided by the City of Brooklyn Park and must be accompanied by:
(1) A site plan drawn to scale based on and accompanied by a certificate of survey, or on a certificate of survey, showing the relation of the sign to the nearest buildings, private and public streets, right-of-ways and property lines.
(2) Sign plans, specifications and methods of construction.
(3) A copy of structural calculations and details showing the structure is designed for live and dead loads including wind velocity in the amount required by all ordinances of the city. Electrical permits will be required by the State Board of Electricity.
(B) Permit issued if application in order. It is the duty of the Sign Ordinance Administrator, upon the filing of the application for a permit, to examine such plans and specifications and other data, and the premises upon which the sign is proposed to be erected, and if it appears that the proposed structure is in compliance with all other laws and ordinances of Brooklyn Park, the Administrator must then issue the permit. If the work authorized under a permit has not been completed within 90 days after the date of issuance, the permit will become null and void.
(C) Permit fees. Every applicant, before being granted a permit hereunder, must pay to the city the permit fee for each sign regulated by this code in an amount as established by the fee resolution, set forth in the Appendix to this code.
(D) Permit revocable at any time. All rights and privileges acquired by obtaining a permit under the provisions of this chapter or any amendment thereto are mere licenses, revocable for cause at any time by the Council, and all such permits must contain this provision.
