The Code Enforcement Officer shall receive and process all applications for building and occupancy permits. When and if necessary, the Code Enforcement Officer shall refer the applicant to the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Planning Board or the Selectmen of the Town of Waterboro for such review, approval, and action by these bodies as state statute and this ordinance require. Applications for required permits shall be deemed complete only after required reviews, approvals and actions by the above bodies are completed.
When the provisions of state law, this ordinance, other local land use ordinances and regulations, and conditions (if any) attached to an approved project are met the Code Enforcement Officer shall issue the required permits within the time deadlines specified (see Section2.03)-when such provisions are not met he shall deny issuance of the required permits. A detail of either a building or occupancy permit must include a statement of reasons for the denial. A building or occupancy permit issued in conflict with the provisions of state law, this ordinance, other local land use ordinance or regulations, or conditions (if any) attached to an approved is null and void.
Decisions of the Code Enforcement Officer with respect to the granting denial of a building or occupancy permit may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Waterboro within 30 days by the applicant or by an aggrieved party. The Board of Appeals may affirm the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer, remand the decision with instructions to reconsider the issue, or modify the decision for reasons which must be set forth.(see Section 10.01). (AMENDED 3-8-86)
The Code Enforcement Officer may on his own and shall upon complaint investigate to insure that state law, this ordinance, other local land use ordinances or regulations, or conditions (if any) attached to an approved project are not being violated. Upon finding a violation of any statute, ordinance, regulation, or condition outlined above, the Code Enforcement Officer shall notify the violator of such fact and simultaneously issue a code enforcement order to the violator requiring immediate compliance with the particular provisions of law involved. The failure to comply with a code enforcement order will subject the violator to penalties, further orders, and possibly legal action as outlined in sections 12.02 and 12.03.
The Code Enforcement Officer may seek entrance to any property or structure within the Town of Waterboro to inspect and carry out the provisions of this ordinance. His testimony and records shall be available to the Town's counsel to facilitate law enforcement and prosecute individuals who violate a code enforcement order.
