The position of Village Zoning Inspector is hereby created. He/she shall be appointed by the Mayor with the approval of Council and shall receive such compensation as Council shall provide. He/she shall keep records of all Applications for Zoning Certificates and the action taken thereon. Before constructing, changing the use of, or altering any building, including accessory buildings, or changing the use of any premises, application shall be made to the Zoning Inspector for a Zoning Certificate. The application shall indicate the exact location and proposed construction, alteration or change of use, and shall include a lot plan, showing the proposed location and dimensions, height of the building and proposed use. Within ten days the Zoning Inspector shall issue a Certificate if the application is accompanied with the proper fee and the application complies with the requirements of this Zoning Ordinance. The fee to two dollars ($2.00) shall accompany each Application for a Zoning Certificate where the proposed construction consists of remodeling or additions to existing structures or building and pertinent structure and a fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall accompany each Application for a Zoning Certificate where the proposed construction consists of a new building.
