C. Permit Procedure: Upon receipt of an application for a permit to construct a park, the enforcing officer shall, if the park is, or the proposed park will be, in conformity with this chapter, issue a permit to construct. If the application for a permit to construct is declined, the enforcing officer shall give the reasons therefor, in writing, to the applicant; and if the objections can be corrected, the applicant may amend his application and resubmit it for approval. If a permit to construct a park is issued, periodic inspection by the enforcing officer is to be made during time of construction to verify compliance; the applicant shall, upon completion thereof, so notify the enforcing officer. He shall then inspect the park and, if completed in accordance with the accepted application, present to the city council his findings, and upon their acceptance they shall issue a license upon payment of the fee as determined by the city council. No change in any sanitary facilities, methods of water supply, sewer, drainage, garbage or waste disposal, and no change in the plot plan shall be made without first making a written application to the enforcing officer and receiving a permit therefrom. Such a permit does not relieve the applicant from securing any other permit or from complying with any other ordinances of the city of Wenona, Illinois. (Ord. 070102B, 7-1-2002)
