Exhibit A: Chapter 1163 Signs (Current) explanation of the delay and balance them against the hardship to the applicant arising from an extended time for determination. C. Failure of the Building Commissioner to issue a permit within the required ten (10) business days or, if an extension has been obtained, within the time permitted by the extension, shall be construed to be an issuance of the permit, upon the lapse of the last day upon which the Building Commissioner may, pursuant to paragraph (B) above, make his determination. D. If the proposed sign or advertising structure complies with this and all other applicable laws and ordinances of the City, the Building Commissioner shall forthwith issue the requested permit upon receipt of the appropriate fees. If the Building Commissioner determines that the application should be denied, he shall issue a written statement contemporaneous with his decision, explaining the reason or reasons for the denial. E. If an application for an erection permit is part of a lot development or redevelopment proposal made pursuant to Chapter 1126 of this Zoning Code, then the permit issued by the Building Commissioner shall be a temporary permit only pending final approval by the City of the lot development or redevelopment proposal pursuant to the provisions of said Chapter 1126. Said temporary permit shall become permanent only upon the applicant erecting the applied for sign or signs, or modifying already erected sign or signs, in a manner which meets all structural and locational requirements made a condition of the City's final approval of the lot development or redevelopment proposal. Every applicant who obtains a temporary erection permit pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph of this section shall be required to post a bond with the Building Commissioner equal to the cost of the sign to be erected, before erecting said sign pursuant to the temporary permit. Said bond shall be forfeited to the City if the applicant, upon receiving final approval for a lot development or redevelopment approval, erects a sign or signs, or fails to modify a sign or signs, in violation of an express condition or conditions of that final approval. F. If the work authorized under any erection permit is not completed within six (6) months after the date of issuance, said permit shall become null and void. (Ord. 2008-6. Passed 4-1-08.) Section 1163.07 Permit Fee Every applicant, upon applying for a permit pursuant to Section 1163.06, shall pay to the Building Commissioner the nonrefundable fee established by separate ordinance. Applications for temporary sign permits shall not require a fee. (Ord. 2008-6. Passed 4-1-08.) Section 1163.08 Appeal If the applicant is dissatisfied with any determination of the Building Commissioner made during the course of the application process, including but not limited to the calculation of the fee due, the requirement of additional materials, the classification of a proposed sign, the denial of a permit, or the revocation of a permit, the applicant may, within ten business (10) days following that determination, file with the Building Commissioner an appeal from the Commissioner's decision to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals. Upon receiving such a notice of appeal, the Building Commissioner shall transmit all papers and other documents connected to the application to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals, which shall hear the applicant's appeal at a meeting which shall be scheduled and held no later than 30 days following the date of the filing of the notice of appeal. The Building and Zoning Board of Appeals may decide to affirm, Page 1163-5 City of North Olmsted Zoning Code
