9-1-18-4: CLASS D MINOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT PROCESS:
A. Application Requirements: The applicant shall file an application, a fee in the amount required by chapter 10 of this title, a short description of the proposal, any materials needed to adequately describe the proposal, including, but not limited to, material samples, paint chip samples for each color proposed, with location keyed to an elevation drawing, three (3) copies of any maps, drawings, or floor plans, or elevations deemed necessary by staff.
B. Procedure:
1. Once a completed application and all accompanying material have been submitted, the director shall review the proposal and approve it with or without conditions, or deny it. The director may refer the application to the town engineer for review. In addition, the director shall have the right to reclassify any Class D minor application as a Class D major or a Class C and process it accordingly.
2. The director shall then indicate the decision on the application and return it to the applicant.
3. All decisions shall be forwarded to the planning commission for its information only.
4. If the applicant agrees with the decision of the director, he shall so indicate by signing the appropriate signature block on the application form; and if the decision was for approval, the application form shall become the development permit, and the applicant may proceed with his project after obtaining any other necessary permits.
C. Appeal:
1. A decision of the director concerning a Class D minor application may be appealed by the applicant to the planning commission within five (5) days after the director has rendered his decision by filing written notice with the department of community development. If no appeal is filed within the five (5) day period, the decision of the director shall be final.
2. If an appeal is filed, the application shall automatically become a Class C development permit application and shall be reviewed by the planning commission and town council under the provisions of section 9-1-18-3 of this chapter.
3. Appeals shall be in writing on forms provided by the town. In addition, the applicant shall be responsible for paying any additional fees required for the review of a Class C item, over and above those fees already paid for review of a Class D minor application.
D. Town Engineer Approval: Applicant shall receive approval from the town engineer per title 10 of this Code prior to issuance of a building permit, beginning any construction, or beginning any grading work. Permits that may be required from the town engineer include an infrastructure permit, a floodplain development permit, and right-of-way permit. (Ord. 1, Series 2014; amd.
