A permit, under which the proposed work authorized by said permit is not commenced within six months of the date of issuance or not completed within twelve months after the date of issuance, shall expire, and no work under the permit shall commence thereafter. Said expired permit, however, may be renewed as set forth below, provided the proposed work is still in conformance with the Village Code and provided the owner and contractor estimate and the Village agrees that the work can be completed within the renewal period. Said permits for construction of new buildings where all work on exterior walls and roof is completed and inspected by the Village may be renewed in increments of three months with commencement and completion of the work to take place within the renewal period. All other permits may be renewed in increments of six months with commencement and completion of the work to take place within the renewal period. Fees for said permit renewals shall include a plan review fee if needed to determine compliance with Village Code, as well as the other fees as required in this chapter, with said fees being prorated based on the length of renewals periods being approved. For example, if a permit is renewed for one three-month period, then the renewal fee would be three-twelfths of the original permit fee.
