reinspection, and investigation fees:
A. Advance Construction Starts
a. The Building Official may issue a preliminary permit to start construc-
tion prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, or before the entire
plans and specifications for the building or structure have been sub-
mitted or approved, provided that adequate information and details
have been submitted, which clearly indicate compliance with the per-
tinent requirements of the Code.
b. These permits shall not be issued until after final zoning approval
has been obtained for the new construction and after certification by
the Department of Public Works that required public improvements will
be made.
c. The holder of a permit to start construction prior to the issuance of
a Building Permit, may proceed only to the point of construction for
which that permit has been qiven, and at his own risk, and without any
expressed or implied assurances that changes will not be required in
the final design to insure Code compliance.
d. Foundation Permit.
The Building Official may issue a foundation permit to start the
construction of the foundation.
e. Removal Permit.
The Building Official may issue a removal permit to start the removal
of existing construction.

issued under the same guidelines listed above for Building Permits.
B. Fees Required
Any person desiring to do or cause to be done any work for which a

a fee in the amount fixed by this resolution.
Where work for which a permit is required is started prior to ob-
taining such permit, the fees may be doubled, as required by the Building
Official, but the payment of such double fee shall not relieve any persons
from fully complying with the requirements of the Building Code in the exe-
cution of the work nor from any other penalties prescribed. However, this
double fee shall not apply to any emergency or urgently necessary work if a
permit for such work is obtained as provided for.
