(1) REQUIRED. No building or structure over 35 square feet or any part thereof being used or to be used in Residential, Commercial or Industrial Districts shall hereafter be built, enlarged, altered, repaired or moved into or within the Village, unless a permit shall be first obtained by the owner or his agent from the Village. It is not intended that this section shall apply to any farm buildings, other than residence, unless moved along, across or upon a public highway.
(2) DRIVEWAYS. A building permit shall be required for the laying out, construction, extension or reconstruction of any driveway. The application for this permit shall include the information set forth in subsection (3) of this section and shall be in addition to the driveway permit required under this Code of Ordinances, though no additional permit fee shall be required.
(3) APPLICATION. Application for a building permit shall be made in writing upon forms furnished by the Village for such purpose. Such application shall be signed by the applicant who shall be the owner or agent of the owner and shall be accompanied by 2 copies of plans and specifications and a lot plan showing location of buildings and other pertinent information. If in the opinion of the Building Inspector the information concerning the location of structures and lot lines requires that a survey is necessary to verify the distances represented, the possible existence for potential setback or other zoning violations or for any other reason that the Building Inspector may deem relevant in the issuance of a building permit, he may require a survey of the property. If the application is signed by the agent of the owner, the Building Inspector may request a showing by the agent of this authority to act as such. If the Building Inspector deems the plans to be sufficient to show the building to be done, he may waive the requirement calling for the filing of specifications with the application. The Building Inspector shall file one complete set of documents provided to him by the applicant to the Village Clerk, along with the approved building permit.
(4) WAIVER OF PLANS. If in the opinion of the Building Inspector the character of the work is sufficiently described in the application, he may waive the filing of plans, provided the cost of such work does not exceed $1,000.

(8) REVOCATION OF PERMIT. The Building Inspector may revoke the building permit by written notice at any time he finds the above mentioned ordinances or any ordinances affecting building, laws, orders, plans and specifications are not being complied with. The Building Inspector may refer any violation of this section to the Chief of Police for issuance of citations. All violations of this section shall be deemed to be separate violations for every day that such violations continue.
(9) REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS. This chapter shall not require a permit for any repairs or minor alterations to any building fully completed, provided such repairs or minor alterations do not change the occupancy, area, structural strength, fire protection exits, light or ventilation of a building, subject to the condition that no person shall perform by himself or by others, directly or indirectly, any electrical wiring or installation of plumbing, sewage, disposal system or apparatus without first obtaining a permit therefor. Requests for changes and alterations in a building plan previously approved must be made in writing to the Building Inspector and approved in writing by him. Upon completion of plumbing work or electrical work, the Plumbing Inspector or Electrical Inspector, as the case may be, shall inspect the completed plumbing or electrical work and shall certify in writing to the Building Inspector as to their acceptance of such work. The Building Inspector then shall complete his inspection and shall issue a certificate of occupancy if issuance of such certificate is found by him to be in order.

(2) of this section. This section shall also apply to signs and any other structure of any type.
(2) PRINCIPLES. To implement and define criteria for the purposes set forth in sub. (1), the following principles are established:
(a) No structure shall be permitted, the design or exterior appearance of which is of such an abnormal or unorthodox character in relation to its surroundings as to be unsightly or offensive to generally accepted tastes and community standards.
(b) No structure shall be permitted, the design or exterior appearance of which is so identical with those adjoining as to create excessive monotony or drabness.
(c) No structure shall be permitted where any exposed facade is not constructed or faced with a finished material which is not aesthetically compatible with the neighboring facades and presents an attractive appearance to the public and to surrounding properties.
(d) No structure, including signs, shall be permitted to be sited on the property in a manner which would unnecessarily destroy or substantially damage the natural beauty of the area, particularly insofar as it would adversely affect property values, the character of the applicable district or neighborhood or which would unnecessarily have an adverse effect on the beauty and general enjoyment of existing structures on adjoining properties. (Am. #94-3)
(3) SITE PLAN REVIEW. To further ensure aesthetically and functionally compatible development in the Village, the Plan Commission shall determine that adequate parking, light and air, landscaping and screening from adjacent incompatible uses is provided for all uses requiring architectural review.

The Building Inspector shall transmit applications for building permits, along with all information recorded in sub. (4) to the Plan Commission. Furthermore, the Building Inspector shall provided a written recommendation to the Plan Commission concerning compliance of such plans with this chapter. If such plans do not comply with this chapter or if there is a reasonable basis to question such compliance with this chapter, the Building Inspector will specify specific areas of concern to the Plan Commission. In such a case, the Building Inspector shall schedule a hearing before the Plan Commission. Treating such a matter as an item on the published Plan Commission agenda shall be sufficient to constitute a hearing. The Building Inspector shall also provide at least 3 days written notice to the applicant concerning such hearing.
(6) REVIEW AND FINDINGS. The plan Commission shall review the referred plans no more than 40 days after the original application for a building permit. The Plan Commission shall not approve any building plans, unless it finds by the preponderance of the evidence after viewing the application that the structure, as planned, will not violate the principles set forth in this chapter.

14.07 REGULATIONS FOR MOVING BUILDINGS.
(1) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
(a) No person shall move any building or structure upon any of the public ways of the Village without first obtaining a permit from the Building Inspector and upon the payment of the required fee. Every permit issued by the Building Inspector for the moving of a building shall designate the route to be taken, the conditions to be complied with and shall limit the time during which the moving operations shall be continued.
(b) A report shall be made by Village employees with regard to possible damage to trees. The estimated cost of trimming, removal and replacement of public trees, as determined by the Village, shall be paid to the Village Clerk-Treasurer prior to issuance of the moving permit.
(c) Issuance of a moving permit shall further be conditioned on approval of the moving route by the Village Board.
(2) CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT. The movement of buildings shall be a continuous operation during all the hours of the day and at night, until such movement is fully completed. All operations shall be performed with the least possible obstruction to thoroughfares. No building shall be allowed to remain overnight upon any street crossing or intersection or so near as to prevent easy access to any fire hydrant or any other public facility. Lights shall be kept in conspicuous places at each end of the building during the night.
(3) STREET REPAIR. Every person receiving a permit to move a building shall, within one day after the building reaches its destination, report that fact to the Building Inspector, who shall inspect the streets, highways, curbs and gutters over which the building has been moved and ascertain their condition. If the removal of the building has caused any damage to any street or highway, the person to whom the permit was issued shall place them in as good repair as they were before the permit was granted. On the failure of the permittee to do so within 10 days to the satisfaction of the Village Board, the Village shall repair the damage done to such streets and hold the person obtaining the permit and the sureties on his bond responsible for the payment of same.
(4) CONFORMANCE WITH CODE. No permit shall be issued to move a building within the Village, to establish it upon a location within the Village until the Building Inspector has made an investigation of the building at the location from which it is to be moved and is satisfied from such investigation that the building is in a sound and stable condition and of such construction that it will meet the requirements of this chapter. A complete plan of all further repairs, improvements and remodeling with reference to the building shall be submitted to the Building Inspector, and he shall make a finding of fact to the effect that all such repairs, improvements and remodeling are in conformity with the requirements of this chapter and that, when the same are completed, the building as such will comply with this chapter. In the event a building is to be moved from the Village to some point outside the boundaries of the Village, the provisions with respect to the furnishings of plans and specifications for proposed alterations to such building may be disregarded.
(5) BOND.
(a) Before a permit is issued to move any building over any public way in the Village, the party applying shall give a bond to the Village in a sum to be fixed by the Building Inspector and which shall not be less than $1,000, the bond to be executed by a corporate surety or 2 personal sureties to be approved by the Village Board or designated agent conditioned upon, among other things, the indemnification to the Village for any costs or expenses incurred by it in connection with any claims for damages to any persons or property, and the payment of any judgment together with the costs and expenses incurred by the Village in connection therewith arising out of the removal of the building for which the permit is issued.
(b) Unless the Building Inspector, upon investigation, shall find it to be a fact that the excavation exposed by the removal of such building from its foundation shall not be so close to a public thoroughfare as to permit the accidental falling into of travelers or the location, nature and physical characteristics of the premises and the exposed excavation, such as to make intrusion upon the premises and the falling into such excavation of children under 12 years of age unlikely, the bond required by par. (a) shall be further conditioned upon the permittee erecting adequate barriers and within 48 hours, filling such excavation or adopting and employing other means, devices or methods approved by the Building Inspector and reasonably adopted or calculated to prevent the occurrences set forth in this subsection.
(6) INSURANCE. The Building Inspector shall require, in addition to the bond indicated above, public liability insurance covering the injury to one person in the sum of not less than $100,000 and for one accident in a sum not less than $200,000, together with property damage insurance in a sum not less than $50,000, or such other coverage as deemed necessary.
14.08 UNSAFE BUILDINGS.
Whenever the Building Inspector shall find that any building, structure or part thereof is dangerous to life, health or adjoining property by reason of bad condition, defective construction, overloaded floors, decay, lack of guards against fire, general dilapidation or other cause, he shall notify the owner or tenant thereof to cause the same to be made safe or to be removed, as in the judgment of the Building Inspector may be necessary and he shall also affix a notice of such order in a conspicuous place on the outside wall of the building and no person shall remove or deface such notice. The owner or tenant of such building or structure shall thereupon cause the same to be made safe immediately or to be removed as ordered and if any such building is used for any purpose requiring a license, the Building Inspector may revoke such license until the building is made safe or removed to the satisfaction of the Building Inspector. Where the public safety requires immediate action, the Building Inspector shall enter upon the premises with such assistance as may be necessary and cause the building or structure to be made safe or to be removed and the expense of such work may be recovered by the Village in an action against the owner or tenant. The Fire Department shall give all reasonable assistance to the Building Inspector in such work. If the owner or tenant of any such building or structure is dissatisfied with the decision of the Building Inspector as to the unsafe character thereof, the question shall be referred to the Village Board whose decision shall be final.
14.09 REGULATION AND PERMIT FOR RAZING BUILDINGS.
(1) No building within the Village shall be razed without a permit from the Building Inspector. A snow fence or other approved barricade shall be provided as soon as any portion of the building is removed and shall remain during razing operations. After all razing operations have been completed, the foundation shall be filled at least one foot above the adjacent grade, the property raked clean and all debris hauled away. Razing permits shall lapse and be void unless the work authorized is commenced within 6 months from the date issued or completed within 30 days from the date of commencement of the work. Any unfinished portion of work remaining beyond the required 30 days must have special approval from the Building Inspector.
(2) All debris must be hauled away at the end of each day for the work that was done on that day. No combustible material shall be used for backfill, but shall be hauled away. There shall not be any burning of materials on the site of the razed building. If any razing or removal operation under this section results in, or would likely result in an excessive amount of dust particles in the air creating a nuisance in the vicinity, the permittee shall take all necessary steps, by use of water spraying or other appropriate means, to eliminate such nuisance. The permittee shall take all necessary steps, prior to the razing of a building, through the employment of a qualified person in the field of pest control or by other appropriate means, to treat the building as to prevent the spread and migration of rodents and insects during and after the razing operations.
14.10 BASEMENTS; EXCAVATIONS.
(1) BASEMENT SUBFLOORING. First floor subflooring shall be completed within 60 days after the basement is excavated.
(2) FENCING OF EXCAVATIONS. The owner of any premises on which there exists an opening or excavation which is located in close proximity to a public sidewalk or street right-of-way as to constitute a hazard to pedestrian or vehicular traffic shall erect a fence, wall or railing at least 4 feet high between such opening or excavation and the public right-of-way.
(3) CLOSING OF ABANDONED EXCAVATIONS. Any excavations for building purposes or any uncovered foundation which shall remain open for more than 3 months shall be deemed abandoned and a nuisance and the Building Inspector shall order that unless the erection of the building or structure on the excavation or foundation shall commence or continue immediately, suitable safeguards shall be provided to prevent accidental injury to children or other frequenters or that the excavation or foundation be filled to grade. Such order shall be served upon the owner of record or the owner's agent, where an agent is in charge of the premises, and upon the holder of an encumbrance of record in the manner provided for service of a summons in the circuit court. If the owner or the holder of an encumbrance of record cannot be found, the order may be served by posting it on the premises and make publication in the official newspaper for 2 consecutive publications at least 10 days before the time for compliance stated in the order commences to run. Such time shall be not less than 14 nor more than 20 days after service. If the owner of the land fails to comply with the order within the time required, the Building Inspector shall cause the excavation or foundation to be filled to grade. The cost of such abatement shall be charged against the real estate and entered on the next succeeding tax roll as a special charge and shall bear interest at a rate established by the Village Board from the date of the report by the Building Inspector on the cost.

(b) Location. (Am. #97-11) Fences may be constructed up to lot lines but must be entirely on the owner's property and shall not encroach upon or overhang adjacent property. When placing a fence, consideration should be given to allowing sufficient area on the "outside" of the fenced area to facilitate maintenance. Fences may not be placed on utility, access, drainage or other easements without the approval of the Village Board.
(c) Corner Lots. Fences located on corner lots must be placed so as not to obstruct vision on the intersecting streets. Therefore, notwithstanding the foregoing regulations, no fence located within 50 feet of the property corner closest to the intersecting streets shall exceed 3 feet in height with respect to the grade of the pavement at the center of the street intersection.
(d) Construction and Maintenance. (Am. #95-15) No fence shall be constructed of unsightly or dangerous materials which would constitute a nuisance or hazard to the general public.

(5) NONCONFORMING FENCES. Any fence existing on the effective date of this section and not in conformance with this section may be maintained, but any modification or improvement of said fence shall comply with this section.
(6) PROHIBITED FENCES. (Am. #09-07) The following types of fences shall be prohibited in the Village:
(a) Electrified Fences. Except in R-1 Zoning Districts, the electrical fence may require an electrical permit from the Village Building Inspector. Plan Commission approval shall be required when the proposed fence is to be located adjacent to properties zoned R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6, or R-7. In such cases, the Plan Commission may require mitigation efforts on behalf of the applicant in order to improve the aesthetics of the fence and to promote public safety.
(b) Barbed Wire Fences. Except in R-1 Zoning Districts or on property zoned industrial where the lowest strand of barbed wire is at least 10 feet above the ground. Plan Commission approval shall be required when the proposed fence is to be located adjacent to properties zoned R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6, or R-7. In such cases, the Plan Commission may require mitigation efforts on behalf of the applicant in order to improve the aesthetics of the fence and to promote public safety.
