Before occupying or using any structure included in a design review application, the applicant must obtain an occupancy certificate after inspection by the Department of Community Development. The Department of Community Development shall inspect the site to ensure that the work has been completed in accordance with the application and plans approved by the Design Review Board. It shall be the duty of the property owner or his or her authorized agent to notify the Department of Community Development that such work is ready for inspection in order to ascertain compliance with approved plans. If the project is found upon inspection to be fully completed and in compliance with the approved design review application and plans, the Department of Community Development shall issue a final certificate of occupancy. If the project is found to be completed in such a manner that a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued as specified by the adopted Building Code, the applicant shall post a bond as set forth in § 12-11-8 of this chapter. Upon forfeiture of said bond or surety, the town shall proceed to install the improvements for which bond or surety was posted. In the event that the cost of installing the improvements exceeds the amount of the bond, the owner of said property shall be individually liable to the town for the additional costs thereof. Furthermore, the amount that the cost of installing said improvements exceeds the amount of the performance bond shall automatically become a lien upon any and all property included within the design review application.
