§ 716-4.1416. Rejection of application.

(a)

Hazards. The county building official shall not issue a permit in any case where he finds that the work as proposed by the applicant is likely to adversely affect the stability of adjoining property or result in the deposition of debris on any public way or interfere with any existing drainage course or be in an area determined to be subject to geological hazard. If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the county building official that the hazard can be essentially eliminated by the construction of retaining structures, buttress fills, drainage devices, or by other means, he may issue the permit with the condition that such work be performed.

(b)

Land Use. The county building official shall not issue a grading permit for work that will not comply with all provisions of Title 8 and any conditions imposed by the planning agency on approval of the use.

(c)

Existing Building or Zoning Code Violations. The county building official shall not issue a permit under this title if any building or zoning code violations exist on the site.

(d)

Rejection and revisions. Rejection of the application or plans shall be considered a denial of the permit. However, denial of a permit based on insufficient or inadequate plans shall not preclude the applicant from submitting a revised application or revised plans in connection with a pending application.

(e)

Expiration and Renewal. Applications shall be considered pending until a grading permit is issued, denied or withdrawn, but an application shall expire ninety days from the date of its filing. An expired application may be renewed or a new application filed on payment of a new filing fee.
