After final development plan approval is obtained, but before any construction commences or improvement location permits may be issued, all applicable state and federal permits, approvals and licenses must be obtained (with copies provided to the Area Plan Commission) and all state and federal statutes and regulations must be complied with and the following requirements satisfied:
(A) Insurance requirements. The owner or operator of the project shall maintain liability policies covering: (1) bodily injury and property damage; and (2) environmental contamination arising from construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the project. Limits on the bodily injury and property damage policy shall be of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate with a deductible of no more than $20,000 and on the environmental contamination policy shall be of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate with a deductible of no more than $50,000. All such policies shall name the county and the municipality in which the project is located as an additional insured and a binder shall be provided annually to the county.
(B) Signage and contact. The applicant shall establish a 24-hour toll-free phone number for the registering of complaints and concerns. This number shall be posted at every project service road intersection with a public roadway throughout the project area before improvement location permits are issued and before any construction or earth moving can commence. If legitimate complaints are not remedied within 48 hours the county may address these complaints with any expenses incurred to be reimbursed by the applicant.
(C) Pre-construction meeting. The applicant must attend a pre-construction meeting between the Area Plan Commission Executive Director, Area Plan Commission President, County Building Inspector, and any other public officer or official whose input is deemed appropriate to verify that all requirements in the subchapter have been met. This meeting shall take place as the final step before construction and all other requirements should already have been met. Once reviewed, if all requirements have been met, the applicant may then obtain improvement location permits. If any requirements have not been met then further pre-construction meetings will be held until it can be verified that the identified issues have been resolved.
(D) Fees. All improvement location permit fees must be paid for the entire project before any improvement location permits will be issued. No improvement location permit shall issue if the applicant has overdue amounts owed to the county.
