6. The elevation of the existing sewer facilities, elevation of curbs and gutters relative to the top of the proposed foundation for the building; location of curb and gutter;

C. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, either acceptable curbs and gutters shall have been constructed, or an amount equal to one and one-half (11/2) times the estimated cost of construction of curbs and gutters shall have been deposited with the clerk.

Conditions can be imposed which shall require a developer to make the improvements which have been waived at some time in the future when construction of the improvements are practical. Said sums shall be forfeited in the event the construction of curbs and gutters was not completed by the applicant as of the date of final inspection of all the construction for which the building permit was issued; it shall be refunded to the applicant if the construction of curbs and gutters was completed as of said date. It is not intended that this section shall make any other provision in this code less restrictive.
D. If the application for a building permit is for any construction other than a single-family dwelling, duplex, or outbuildings in a residential district, no building permit shall issue until there has been compliance with the following:
1. Submitting a plan for approval to the fire department showing the following: location of existing hydrants, and proposed locations of new hydrants; size of water mains; standpipe location and size; type of sprinkling systems, if required;
2. Submitting a plan for approval to the water and sewer department showing the following: location of water and sewer mains, elevation of existing sewer facilities, the quantity and pressure of water to be delivered through mains;

E. After an applicant has complied with this section, and all reviewed and approved plans have been submitted to the building official, the building official is to act upon the application within three (3) days.
F. After a building permit is issued, and construction has commenced, there shall be no permanent occupancy of the building until after final inspection and approval of construction by the building official, nor shall permanent electrical power be supplied to the building until after final inspection and approval by the building official.
