SECTION 10. PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE OF OCCUPANCY PERMITS.

The procedure for issuance of occupancy permits at the completion of any building or structure for which an occupancy permit is required by the County, City, or Village shall be as follows: The applicant for the building permit permitting such construction shall make application to the County, City, or Village for an occupancy permit and shall simultaneously advise the Fire District of such application, such advice to contain the original permit number, the name of the applicant, and the location of the building or structure under construction. If the Fire District does not within five (5) days after such notification advise the County, City, or Village in writing of its disapproval, the County, City, or Village may issue such occupancy permits. Upon good cause shown and upon written application by the Fire District, the County, City, or Village shall extend the time limits called for herein for an additional two (2) days.

In event of disapproval, the Fire District shall within such period of time deliver a written statement of such disapproval together with the reasons therefor to the County, City, or Village in which case the County, City, or Village will not issue such occupancy permit so long as such disapproval continues. Such review shall be conducted and guided by the codes and standards adopted by the Fire District. Failure to so advise the County, City, or Village within such a period of time shall constitute approval. Any person aggrieved by such decision shall appeal as set forth in Section 7 of this Ordinance. This Section shall become effective for all buildings for which a building permit is obtained on or after May 1, 1987.
