(a) Building Permit. A Building Permit allowing construction of any building, structure, or similar improvement to the land within a subdivision, which has been approved for platting or replatting, shall be issued only after all requirements of these regulations have been fully complied with, including the approval of all plans by the Planning Commission, approval of water and wastewater plans by the City Manager and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, acceptance of the required public improvements by Council, and the recording of the final plat in the County Recorder's Office.
(b) Amendments. The Planning Commission may, from time to time, recommend to Council the amendment of these regulations. Upon receipt of the recommendations of the Planning Commission, these regulations may be enlarged or amended by Council after public hearing, due notice of which shall be given as required by law.
(c) Variations. When a subdivider can show that a provision of these regulations would cause unnecessary hardship if strictly adhered to and when, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, because of topographical or other conditions, peculiar to the site, a variation may be allowed without destroying the intent of such provision, the Planning Commission may recommend a variance to the Board of Appeals. The subdivider shall apply in writing to the Board of Appeals stating the reasoning on which the departure is justified and this application shall be processed by the Board of Appeals in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 1121.02(c). Any variance authorized by the Board of Appeals shall be made by formal vote and a copy thereof shall be attached to, and made a part of, the final plat. In recommending variances, the Planning Commission may require such conditions as required to adhere to the intent of these regulations.
(d) Fee Schedule. Council shall establish by resolution a schedule of fees, charges, and expenses pertaining to these regulations which shall be posted in the office of the Clerk and which may be altered or amended only by a resolution of Council. No action shall be taken on any application or appeal until all applicable fees and charges have been paid in full. (Ord. 333. Passed 12-10-73.)
