The Rest of The
Story is really strange, and upsetting if verified. Long story short our
Cops let the bad guys go. Don't believe our resident? Don't search the
van? Don't write a Police report? Residents wife goes to see Chief and get
a copy of the report, Chief shuffles some papers on his desk and
says "no report? Hello what the heck is this all about. We will interview
resident and Chief to get this thing right. Lets see if you respond to a
911 call thought protocol demanded a police report/incident report? Oh one
of the burglars has the residents photo on his cell phone camera holding a
gun on him! Holy Mackerel!

amended, and Sections 50-114 and 50-115 are hereby created to read as follows:
Sec. 50-31 National electrical code.
There
The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) as adopted by reference in the
Florida Building Code, is hereby adopted as a the electrical
code for the Town, except to the extent of conflict with other ordinances and
resolutions of the Town. Tthe 2002 edition of the most
current adopted version of National Electrical Code and amendments,
additions and deletions is on file in the office of the town building
official.
Sec. 50-94. Conditions of the permit, final
inspection required.
(a) A permit issued shall be construed to be a license to proceed with the
work and not as authority to violate, cancel, alter or set aside any of the
provisions of the technical codes, nor shall issuance of a permit prevent the
building official from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans,
construction, or violations of this code. Every permit issued shall become
invalid unless the work authorized by such permit is commenced within six
months after its issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is
suspended or abandoned for a period of six months after the time the work is
commenced. Failure to obtain an approved inspection within 180 days of the
previous approved inspection shall constitute suspension or abandonment. One
or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each, may be
allowed by the building official for the permit, provided the extension is
requested in writing and justifiable cause is demonstrated prior to the
expiration date. The building official shall record the extension of time
granted.
(1) If work has commenced and the permit is revoked, becomes null and void, or expires because of lack of progress or abandonment, a new permit covering the proposed construction shall be obtained before proceeding with the work.
(2) If a new permit is not obtained within 180
days from the date the initial permit became null and void, the building
official is authorized to require that any work which has been commenced or
completed be removed from the building site. Alternately, a new permit may
page 2
be issued on application, providing the work in place and required to complete
the structure meets all applicable regulations in effect at the time the
initial permit became null and void and any regulations which may have become
effective between the date of expiration and the date of issuance of the new
permit.
(3) Work shall be considered to be in active progress when the permit has received an approved inspection within 180 days. This provision shall not be applicable in case of civil commotion or strike or when the building work is halted due directly to judicial injunction, order or similar process.
(b) A final inspection is required for all permits issued under this section. Any permit that has not received a successful final inspection within 180 days of permit issuance, or the previous inspection, whether successful or not, shall become null and void and subject to the same requirements provided in subsections (a)(1) and (2) of this section.
All of the following has been deleted:
Sec. 50-95.
Any construction
of any dwelling must be completed within 12 months from the date of the
issuance of a building permit, unless the owner qualifies for an extension.
The owner qualifies for an extension if the building is red-tagged by the
building official and the applicant applies for relief to the board of zoning
adjustment. The time frame from the issuance of the red tag until the removal
of the red tag after appeal to the board of zoning adjustment will be added to
the building permit's one year time frame. If construction is not completed
within the time frame as stated above, the town will not issue a certificate
of occupancy, and the owner will have to reapply to the town for a new
building permit. Upon reapplying to the town for a new building permit, the
owner will have two options: (1) the owner may renew the permit for another
year and pay again to the town a fee equal to the original fee for such the
original building permit or (2) the owner may pay ten percent of the cost of
the original building permit for each month the applicant exceeds the
expiration date, including extensions, of the original building permit up to a
maximum of six months from the date the original permit expires. If the
building does not have an unconditional certificate of occupancy after six
months, the applicant must then buy another building permit for one year and
pay to the town a fee equal to the fee for the original building permit. The
new permit shall provide that the building must be completed within one year
or a certificate of occupancy shall not be issued and a further permit will be
necessary
