(A) Purpose: The interpretation authority is intended to recognize that the provisions of this title, though detailed and extensive, cannot, as a practical matter, address every specific situation to which they may have to be applied. Many such situations can be readily addressed by an interpretation of the specific provisions of this title in light of the general and specific provisions for which those provisions have been enacted. The interpretation authority established herein is not intended to add or change the essential content of this title, but is intended to only allow authoritative application of that content to specific cases.
(B) Initiation Of Interpretations: Applications for zoning interpretations may be filed by the owner of, or any person having a right of ownership in, any property in the village, that gives rise to the need for an interpretation. In addition, the village board, building commissioner, or other village official may request that the planning and zoning administrator render an interpretation. All applications for interpretations shall be filed with the planning and zoning administrator in accordance with the requirements in section 6-3-1, "Application", of this title. Requests initiated by the village require an application, but are exempt from fees.
(C) Authority And Execution: The planning and zoning administrator shall review and make final decisions on requests for interpretations.
(D) Procedure: The planning and zoning administrator shall review a request for an interpretation within a reasonable time, and shall give due notice thereof to the parties, and render the interpretation within a reasonable time. The planning and zoning administrator shall have the ability to request additional information prior to rendering an interpretation.
(E) Fees: Fees shall be established from time to time by resolution of the village board. (Ord. 2006-37, 12-21-2006)
