The owner or designated agent shall provide copies of the following before a permit is issued for a new home or structure requiring such:

(a) Approval. If the Building Director is satisfied that the work described in an application for a permit and the plans and specifications filed therewith conform to and comply with the requirements of the Building Code, the Zoning Code, and other pertinent laws and ordinances, and upon payment of the required fee, he shall issue or authorize the issuance of a permit.
(b) Disapproval.

The Director shall give in writing such reasons for rejection.
(Ord. 1999-02. Passed 1-11-99.)
A permit issued shall be construed to be a license to proceed with the work. It shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel, alter or set aside modify, or alter any of the provisions of this Building Code or other applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, nor shall such issuance of a permit prevent the Building Director from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans or in construction or of violations of this Building Code or of other applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. The Director shall not incur any personal liability or expense upon the City nor shall the Director or the City be stopped to enforce this Building Code or the Zoning Code, or be deemed to have waived any defects or violations of law by virtue of his prior approval of any plan or specification later determined by him or any other authority to be in contravention of this Building Code or other applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations.
(Ord. 1999-02. Passed 1-11-99.)
When the permit is issued, the Building Director shall endorse in writing or stamp on all sets of plans and specifications, "Approved", with date and signature.

One (1) set of approved plans and specifications shall be retained by the Director. One (1) approved set shall be kept at the site of work at all times while the work is in progress and shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times by the Director or his authorized representatives. The approval of the plans and specifications shall not be deemed an approval or variance from any required code, statute or regulation.
(Ord. 1999-02. Passed 1-11-99.)
