GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

§ 60.01 PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.

 

        (A) No person may erect, demolish, remodel or repair of cost of more than $500.00 any structure of any kind or add to the outside dimensions thereof, nor re-locate any land use already constructed without first procuring a permit to do so from the City Council.  The application for the permit shall be filed with the City Clerk and shall state the exact site to be occupied, the material dimensions, and estimated costs of the proposed structure, the purpose for which the same is to be occupied and the probable time when the work will be completed.  The permit is also subject to all the regulations stated in the zoning ordinance of the City of Halstad.

 

        (B) Those requesting a permit must provide proof of licensed contractor for all work done, including but not exclusive to building, plumbing, electrical and heating.  Any structure to be erected, demolished, remodeled or repaired must be done so by a licensed building contractor as provided in       § 326.83 to § 326.991 as they may be amended from time to time.  This does not include work done by a private individual for himself/herself at his/her premises.

 

        (C) No land use shall be erected or moved until a permit has been obtained from the City Council, and they shall not issue such a permit if in their judgment the proposed structure or location of the land use would seriously increase the fire hazards or deteriorate the value of the surrounding land use.

 

        (D) Any land use altered or erected or moved in violations of this ordinance shall be ordered by the City Council to be removed or made to conform thereto.  The erection or alteration or moving hereafter of any land use in violation hereof shall be a misdemeanor.  The imposition of one penalty or any violation of this ordinance shall not excuse the violation, or permit it to continue; and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time; and when not otherwise specified, each ten days that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute a separate offense.
