(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, demolition permits for all habitable structures shall be issued for a period of time reasonably necessary, as determined by the Director of Building and Zoning, for contractor mobilization, demolition of the structure and clearing the site and (if applicable) filling of the excavation, including the institution of appropriate measures by the applicant for protection of the health, safety and welfare of the public, contiguous property owners and persons engaged in performing the demolition work, but in no event for a period of time in excess of six (6) months.
(b) A demolition permit issued for a single-family residence shall be valid for forty two (42) days.
(c) A stormwater drainage plan shall be required in accordance with article 10 of this chapter as a condition for the issuance of a demolition permit for any site. If a building permit is issued for construction of a new single- family residence at the same time as a permit for demolition of an existing single-family residence on the same zoning lot, the stormwater drainage plan shall show the proposed conditions and drainage patterns after completion of the new construction.
(d) Upon completion of the demolition in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit, the applicant and lot owner shall cause the site to be restored in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit prior to expiration of the permit. All demolition debris and refuse shall be properly disposed of outside the corporate limits of the Village in accordance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
(e) If substantial construction of a new principal structure has not commenced within twenty eight (28) days of expiration of the demolition permit, the applicant and lot owner shall cause the site to be restored not later than fourteen (14) days thereafter. Restoration of the site shall include permanent disconnection of sewer and water services at the respective mains; removal and proper disposal of all rubbish and debris; removal of all tree and protective fencing; restoration of all damaged public property; restoration of any damage to adjacent properties; and final grading and seeding of the site in accordance with an approved stormwater drainage plan. Erosion control measures will be required until authorized by the Village to be removed. If weather does not allow final grading and seeding to be completed, the Director of Building and Zoning may allow rough grading of the site and necessary erosion control measures until weather conditions permit final grading and seeding.
