No permit shall be issued for the erection of a building, other than a farm or accessory building which is not in violation of the zoning regulations or building code, on a street or highway which has not been accepted by the Town, except on a lot of record in the office of the Town Clerk as of March 1, 1946, or on a street which was open for vehicular travel on March 1, 1946. Any building erected pursuant to a permit issued in violation of this section shall be deemed an unlawful structure, and it shall be vacated or removed upon order of the Chief Building Official.
For the purpose of establishing rules and regulations for the construction, alteration, removal, demolition, equipment, use, occupancy, location and maintenance of buildings and structures, including permits, licenses and penalties, the Town hereby adopts as the municipal building code the Connecticut State Building Code.
The enforcement of any penalties as provided by state law shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in § 7-152c of the General Statutes.
All fees chargeable in accordance with the State Building Code or other state laws shall be established by the Board of Directors of the Town and collected by the Chief Building Official in accordance with recognized industry standards, as modified by such code. The return or refund, whether complete or partial, of any of such fees shall be authorized by the Director of Public Works upon recommendation of the Chief Building Official.
The Director of Public Works may, in his or her sole discretion, waive the permit fees required by reason of activity performed by or on behalf of the Town whether by contract or otherwise.
The Chief Building Official may waive all Town fees related to building permits for construction work performed on defective concrete foundations. The waiver is restricted to the work associated with the direct replacement of the existing foundation or any part thereof. However, the Chief Building Official, in his or her discretion, may also waive the fees for electrical, plumbing or other related work required to restore the structure to its previously permitted condition. Upon waiving any fees, the Chief Building Official shall notify the property owner in writing which fees have been waived and the total amount of the fees which were waived. This provision shall be effective commencing December 1, 2016.
The Board of Directors may, in other instances and for good cause shown, after a public hearing, waive all building permit fees required in§ 129-4.
The Chief Building Official shall exempt all qualified Class I renewable energy source projects from the payment of building permit fees, providing said building permits have been applied for on or before December 31, 2014.
Consist of the componentry necessary for the installation of collection and generation equipment which utilizes Class I renewable energy sources, hereinafter referred to as "qualified equipment," and shall require the submittal of separate building permit applications for the installation of the qualified equipment. System design and product information adequate to determine qualification for fee exemption shall be provided by the applicant at the time of permit application, with a written request for fee exemption. The Chief Building Official shall make the determination based on information provided, if the proposed system qualifies as a Class I renewable energy source project.
In the event an applicant is aggrieved by the decision of the Chief Building Official to deny a waiver request for equipment deemed not to qualify, the applicant shall have the right to an appeal as afforded by the Connecticut State Building Code.
