In any case where a special use permit has not been exercised within the time limit set by the Board of Adjustment, or within 2 years if no specific time limit has been set, then without further action, the permit shall be null and void. EXERCISED as set forth in this section shall mean that binding contracts for the construction of the main building have been let; or in absence of contracts that the main building is under construction to a substantial degree; or that prerequisite conditions involving substantial investment are contracted for, in substantial development; or completed (sewerage, drainage, etc.). When construction is not a part of the use, EXERCISED shall mean that the use is in operation in compliance with the conditions set forth in the permit.
