1262.01   ZONING ADMINISTRATOR.
   (a)   The Zoning Administrator shall have all administrative powers connected with the enforcement of this Zoning Code which are not specifically assigned to some other officer or body. The Zoning Administrator shall administer and enforce the requirements of the text and Map of this Zoning Code to the point where there appears to be no definite and/or defensible answer.  At such time, he or she may be provided with assistance from such other persons as the Mayor may direct, such as the Solicitor.
   (b)   The duties of the Zoning Administrator shall include the following:
      (1)   Issue permits as directed in Sections 1262.02 et seq. and keep or cause to be kept a full record of all permits issued, the date issued and all materials submitted by the applicant for the issuance of such a permit;
      (2)   Certify to the designated Building Inspector that the proposed use is in accordance with all the provisions of this Zoning Code and maintain a complete record of such certifications;
      (3)   Issue a certificate of occupancy when any land use commences or is changed, or when any structure erected, enlarged or altered meets all the conditions of this Zoning Code;
      (4)   Investigate all written citizen complaints alleging zoning violations.  All citizen complaints shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator;
      (5)   Make regular inspections of the Village looking for zoning violations;
      (6)   When any provision of this Zoning Code is being violated, notify in writing the person responsible for such violation and order the action necessary to correct such violation;
      (7)   Order the discontinuance or removal of illegal uses or constructions of land, buildings or other structures;
      (8)   Keep or cause to be kept a record listing, with a brief description, of all variances, conditional use permits, authorizations for planned unit developments and determinations of nonconformity, and reasons for such determinations, and corner lots as determined by the Board of Zoning Appeals;
      (9)   Present a written monthly activity report which shall be made a part of the minutes.  Copies shall be presented to each member of the Planning Commission.
(Ord. 741-80.  Passed 10-21-80.)
1262.02   ZONING PERMIT REQUIRED; APPLICATION AND ISSUANCE; TIME LIMITATIONS ON WORK.
   (a)   No land use shall be commenced or changed, and no structure shall be erected, enlarged, moved or structurally altered, until a zoning permit has been obtained from the Zoning Administrator and the fee required for such a permit has been paid. An application for a zoning permit is available upon request from the Village Administrative Assistant at the Village Hall. Once the application has been returned to the Administrative Assistant at the Village Hall, the Zoning Administrator will be notified of its receipt. The Zoning Administrator will act upon it within seven days.
   (b)   Zoning permits shall be issued only in conformity with the provisions of this Zoning Code, unless the Zoning Administrator receives a written order from the Board of Zoning Appeals permitting a conditional use or variance.
   (c)   Each permit shall state that the permit shall expire and a new permit must be requested if work has not begun within six months or completed within one year. The Zoning Administrator may determine that delay in completion of work was justified and unavoidable and may issue a second permit. If work has not proceeded within the specified time restrictions after the issuance of the second permit, further permits must be approved by the Planning Commission.
   (d)   Failure of a zoning permit holder to complete the work as stated in the building permit application, or failure to occupy the building or premises in or upon which the permit was sought at the expiration of allowed permits, shall be deemed a violation of this section, punishable as provided in Section 1262.99 of the Planning and Zoning Code.
