3 <br />LA515\1\931888.v2 <br />(1) Compliance. A building permit is required for the construction or structural alteration of a building <br />or any part thereof. Other construction activity may require a permit in accordance with the state <br />building code. Demolition, wrecking or removal of any structure shall require a demolition or <br />moving permit. No building permit shall be issued for any construction, enlargement, alteration or <br />repair, demolition or moving of any building or structure on any lot or parcel until all requirements <br />of the state building code as adopted by the city pursuant to LEC Chapter 105.08 have been fully <br />met. <br />(2) Concurrent applications. If the proposed development requires a zoning amendment, variance or <br />conditional use permit, or other permit required under this article, the applicant shall secure all <br />required permits prior to the issuance of a building permit for said development. <br />(3) Administrative review of permits for existing platted lots. If the proposed development does not <br />involve a zoning amendment, variance or conditional use permit, and proposes a use, structure or <br />expansion of an existing structure on an existing platted lot, the director of community development <br />may review the application and authorize the building official to approve or to deny the permit. <br />(4) Expiration. All building permits shall expire pursuant to Minnesota Rules Part 1300.0120,as it may <br />be amended from time to time. Any building permit issued by the city shall expire and by limitation <br />be null and void if a certificate of occupancy and final completion has not been issued within the <br />following applicable period of time after the date of permit issuance: <br />a. Single-family residential dwellings, including new construction, remodeling or additions: <br />12 months; <br />b. Multifamily and nonresidential construction: 12 months, unless a longer time is specified <br />by the city council at the time the original permit is issued; <br />c. Extension. The building official may grant an extension prior to the expiration of any <br />building permits in accordance with state building code. An expired building permit may <br />be reissued once, by the building official, for one-half the original permit fee. Thereafter, if <br />the permitted work is not completed within the applicable time period, a new permit may be <br />issued only upon such conditions as the city council by resolution may prescribe, including <br />financial guarantees to guarantee completion by a specified date; <br />d. Time limitations for exterior work. All exterior work shall be completed as follows: <br />1. All disturbed and exposed ground shall be covered with landscaping in <br />accordance with LEC 105.04.080 through LEC 105.04.160. <br />2. All exterior construction, including siding, roofing, doors, windows and finish <br />shall be completed and present a finished appearance within six months of the <br />start of construction. Tar paper, unfinished plywood, fiberboard insulation, foam <br />insulation, brown coat or scratch coat of stucco, plastic sheeting and other similar <br />materials not designed to be an exterior finish shall not be considered an <br />acceptable exterior finish. Extensions for weather-sensitive work may be granted <br />by the building official. <br />3. Failure to complete exterior work as required herein shall result in suspension of <br />the existing permit until a reinstatement fee equal to 100 percent of the original <br />building permit has been made. Reinstatement of a building permit does not <br />extend the original term of the permit. The reinstatement fee shall also be paid <br />prior to re-issuance of any subsequent permit for exterior work that was not <br />completed under a prior permit that expired. <br />(b) Certificate of zoning compliance. A certificate of zoning compliance is a zoning permit that is intended as a <br />means of administratively reviewing a new use, change in use, or structural change that does not require a <br />building permit. <br />(1) When required.
