laneous fees.
A. Advance Construction Starts:
1. The Building Official may issue a preliminary
permit to start construction prior to the issu-
ance of the final Building permit, or before
the entire plans or specifications for the
building or structure have been submitted or
approved, provided adequate information and
details have been submitted which clearly in-
dicate compliance with the pertinent require-
ments of the code.
2. No permits shall be issued until approval has
been received from all other appropriate City
and County agencies.
3. To start construction prior to the issuance of
a building permit, a permittee may proceed only

mit has been given, and at his own risk, and

that changes will not be required in the final
design to insure code compliance.

mits.
B. Fees Required
Any person desiring to do or causing to be done any

the permit is issued therefore, pay a fee in the amount
fixed by this resolution.
When work for which a permit is required is started
prior to obtaining a permit, the fees shall be doubled,
although, for just cause, the double fee may be waived
at the discretion of the Building Official. The pay-
ment of such double fee shall not relieve any persons
from fully complying with the requirements of the
Building Code to perform the work nor from any other
penalties prescribed. This double fee shall not apply

to any emergency or urgently necessary work if a permit
for such work is subsequently obtained as provided for
herein within three working days following the perfor-
mance of the work. Failure to comply with this condi-
tion shall void the exception.
In addition to the penalties specified above, when-
ever a contractor or subcontractor begins work on a
project prior to obtaining the necessary license as
required by Section 4 -1 -9 of the 1971 Code of ordinan-
ces of the City of Pueblo, such contractor or subcon-
tractor shall pay twice the normal permit fee charged
for the work being performed. Payment of such penalty

visions of any other section of the code. This penalty
may be waived for just cause at the discretion of the
Building Official.
