302 Building Permit Issuance

Prior to the issuance of a building permit, verification by both the property owner and the Town’s Building Inspector is required to ensure no permanent structure shall hamper or interfere with any existing public utility installation, access or maintenance easements. Verification shall be through research of the Daggett County Recorder’s records on property lines, roadway access, utilities, utility easements and of all easements affecting the property. Regardless of results of the verification process – the property owner is ultimately responsible for any infraction that may occur and should react accordingly. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, any reasonably necessary public utility installation, access and maintenance easement which does not currently exist will be created and dedicated to the public use for installation, access and maintenance of public utilities by the property owner and added to the plat for the property on which a building permit or other development permit is requested. All lots for which a building permit is requested shall have the improvements required, by this ordinance, prior to issuance of a building permit. Building permits may be issued for construction in subdivisions and other projects prior to the completion and acceptance by the Town of the required public improvements provided, however, no building permit may be issued until adequate financial assurance has been provided for completion of such improvements as approved by the Town Attorney and Town Engineer. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant may be required to post a bond or provide other financial security, in such form and sum as required by the Town Attorney and Town Engineer, with sufficient surety running to the Town to offset any costs or expenses associated with the abatement of debris and material and or completion of required work associated with construction activities on and off the site. For any construction exempt from the requirement for a building permit, as allowed by State law, the Town shall require the submission of a site plan and such other documents and materials as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of State law and this Ordinance including verification that no accessory structure would hamper or interfere with any existing maintenance easement (without written permission from the easement operating entity) or be located within the established set back as shown on the plat.
