§ 150.01 DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS.
   (A)   Permit application shall be accompanied by a sketch of the proposed project. All dimensions and distances to property lines must be shown on sketch. The permit applicant must stake out the proposed project on the property site.
   (B)   Square footage is measured from the outside walls of building structures.
   (C)   Any new building must be at least three feet, including eaves, from the owner’s lot line.
   (D)   The same grade shall be maintained as surrounding lots, including landscaping.
   (E)   All new buildings and additions must maintain the same setback from streets as surrounding buildings.
   (F)   A permit shall be required for structures even if the structure is not permanent, for example, portable carports and sheds.
   (G)   Any changes to or use of existing waste disposal facilities or any new waste disposal facilities must be approved by the county’s Health Department.
   (H)   Permit applicants shall provide copy of a septic permit issued by the county’s Health Department before a building permit will be issued by the village.
   (I)   A building permit fee for a building over 30,000 square feet will be set by the Board of Trustees and the applicable fee will depend on the nature and extent of the proposed project.
   (J)   The fees for all classifications not provided for in this subchapter shall be determined by the Board of Trustees.
   (K)   If the village, by its corporate authorities, representatives, or agents, needs consultation or services from a third party (including, but not limited to, engineers, surveyors, inspectors, attorneys, and the like), the applicant shall pay to the village the actual costs of such third parties.
   (L)   Permits shall expire by limitation and become null and void 12 months after the date of permit issuance, provided, however, at the time of permit issuance, the issuing official may approve a period exceeding 12 months for completion of work when the permittee can demonstrate that the complexity or size of the project makes completing the project within 12 months unreasonable. Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of the time within which work is to be completed under that permit when the permittee is unable to complete work within the time required for good and satisfactory reasons. When a permit has expired, the permit can be reinstated and the work authorized by the original permit can continue only upon good cause shown and payment of one-half the amount required for a new permit. Demolition permits may be issued.

Code, 890, with amendments; the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings 2012, published by the International Code Council, with amendments; the International Fire Code 2012, with amendments and the 2011 edition of the National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”) Electric Code (the “Electrical Code 2011”), and all of its annexes, as published by the NFPA.
   (N)   Payment of the required fees shall be made with the application as required in the schedule of fees set forth in § 150.02.
