A survey of the building lot may be required by the building official to verify that the structure is located in accordance with the approved site plans. A site development plan shall be submitted with any building permit application which involves the construction of a new building or the expansion of an existing building. The site development plan shall be submitted in duplicate, shall be drawn to scale, and shall show the actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size of the building to be erected, the location of the building on the lot with reference to legally established property lines, and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of the Municipal Code. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the building official may require monumentation of property boundaries and corners in accordance with the standards set forth in C.R.S. 38-51-101 et seq., as amended, in order to fulfill the purposes of this section. A record of all site development plans and other survey information shall be kept in the office of the building official.

Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.

Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void 18 months from the date of issuance of such permit. The building official may extend the time for completion by the applicant for a period not exceeding 18 months upon written request by the applicant showing the circumstances beyond the control of the applicant that prevented completion of the permitted work. No permit shall be extended more than once nor beyond 3 years from the date of issuance of such permit.

The building official shall not issue any permit unless the plans and specifications for such proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, or remodeling conform to the regulations and restrictions in the International Building Code. All plans and specifications for such proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, or remodeling shall bear the seal of an architect or engineer licensed by the State of Colorado, unless the preparation of plans and specifications is exempted by C.R.S. 12-4-112. Such plans and specifications prepared by architectural or engineering sub disciplines shall be so designated and shall bear the seal and signature of the architect or engineer for that sub discipline.

§108.2 Schedule of permit fees.

A fee for each building permit shall be paid to the building official as set forth in Table 1-A of the Glenwood Springs Municipal Code Section 060.020.020. The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions of this Code shall be made by the building official based on the Valuation Schedule published in the "Building Safety Journal" magazine by the International Code Council. The value to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review fees shall be the total value of all construction work for which the permit is issued. The building official may waive the building permit fee for any public entity when such entity is applying for a building permit for a governmental use or a proprietary purpose.

(R & Re 17-04)

§108.4 Work commencing before permit issuance.

Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this code has commenced without first obtaining said permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee set forth in Table 1-A of the Glenwood-Springs Municipal Code Section 060.020.020. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.

(R & Re 17-04)

§108.6 Plan review fee.

When submittal documents are required by Section 106.1, a plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submitting the submittal documents for plan review. Said plan review fee shall be 65 percent of the building permit fee.

The plan review fees specified in this Section are separate fees from the permit fees specified in Section 108.2 and are in addition to the permit fees.

When submittal documents are incomplete or changed so as to require additional plan review or when the project involves deferred submittal items as defined in Section 106.3.4.2, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the rate shown in Table 1-A of the Glenwood Springs Municipal Code Section 060.020.020.

(R & Re 17-04)

§108.7 Expiration of plan review.

Applications for which no permit is issued within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of application shall expire by limitation and plans submitted for checking may thereafter be returned to the applicant or destroyed by the building official. The building official may extend the time for action by the applicant for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days upon written request by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. In order to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and plan review fee. Said plan review fee shall be 65% of the building permit fee as shown in Table 1-A of the Glenwood Springs Municipal Code Section 060.020.020.

§108.8.4 Fee refund application. The building official shall not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except upon written application filed by the original permittee not later than 180 days after the date of the fee payment.

§108.9 Re-inspections.

A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made.

This Section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re-inspection.

Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the building official. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for failure to post a readily visible address as required in Section 502.1.

To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with Table 1-A of the Glenwood Springs Municipal Code Section 060.020.020.

In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.
