§ 17-3203 PLATS.
    Notwithstanding the site plan requirements of Article 30 of this Title, each application for a building permit shall be accompanied by a plan in duplicate, drawn to scale, showing the actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size, shape, and location of the building to be erected, and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of this Zoning Ordinance. For applications outside the corporate limits of the City of Wamego, the Zoning Administrator shall, in addition, require submission of the Pottawatomie County Health Permit if water or sanitary facilities are proposed. The Zoning Administrator shall submit permits for buildings outside the corporate limits of the City of Wamego to the Pottawatomie County Zoning Administrator upon certification, together with the Health Permit, if required, plans, and accompanying information. A record of applications and plats shall be kept in the office of the City Building Inspector.

   (a)   The owner or agent of a building or premises in or upon which a violation of any provision of this Title has been committed or shall exist; or the lessee or tenant of an entire building or entire premises in or upon which a violation has been committed or shall exist; or the agent, architect, building contractor, or any other person who commits, takes part or assists in any violation, or who maintains any building or premises in or upon which a violation has been committed or shall exist, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500, or by imprisonment for not more than six months for each offense, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each and every day that such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
