(a) A zoning review must be performed by the staff prior to the issuance of a building permit for construction of a new structure, enlargement of an existing structure, sign, parking lot, or other physical improvement (Excluding re-roofing, screening or enclosing existing porches, building a sidewalk or patio, etc.). In order to perform the review it shall be the responsibility of the person seeking to do the work, or have the work done, to provide the staff a scaled, detailed site plan showing:
(1) Lot dimensions, based on an actual survey;
(2) All existing and proposed structures thereon;
(3) All dwellings and the number of units in each;
(4) All existing and proposed parking spaces; and
(5) The proximity of the proposed improvements to necessary utilities and ingress/egress points.
(b) The staff shall review the site plan and determine conformity of the proposed improvement(s) with the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. If the staff deems it necessary for clarification it may require that the improvements be staked out on the property in order to complete their review. This review shall be completed in a reasonable time frame.
(c) (1) The staff may require submittal of a drainage plan where it appears the proposed improvement may create a drainage problem.
(2) In areas with a history of drainage problems, the staff may require submittal of a drainage plan designed and certified by a professional engineer.
(3) In an area of questionable soil stability, excessive excavation, or areas with a history of unstable soil, the staff may require submittal of an excavation plan designed and certified by a soil engineer.
(Note: The "plans" and "designs" referred to above shall be the financial responsibility of the person seeking to do, or have the work done)
(d) The issuance of a building permit based on the staff's approved site plan shall not prevent the staff from thereafter requiring correction of errors in said site plan, or from preventing operations from being carried on thereunder when in violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
(e) No approval by staff shall be construed to allow or permit the violation of any other law or regulation of the Town.
