No order of the Zoning Board of Appeals permitting the erection or alteration of a building, an open air land use or a parking lot shall be valid for longer than twelve (12) months unless such use is established within this twelve (12) month period or a permit for such erection or alteration is obtained within this twelve (12) month period and such erection or alteration is commenced and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of the permit. However, where such permitted use is dependent upon the erection or alteration of a building, such order shall continue in force and effect if a building permit for the erection or alteration is obtained within the above cited twelve (12) month period and such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with such permit. The period of approval may be extended by the Board for up to twelve (12) months if the decision was in conjunction with a site plan for which approval has been extended by the Planning Commission or the Building Official.
