AUTHORIZATIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS:

 

The issuance of a building or zoning permit is based on the information and representations made in this application.  A permit may be revoked if the use and/or the structure for which it has been issued violates any applicable Township, County, State or Federal law or regulation or if it has been issued in error or if it has been issued based on any misrepresentation or substantial errors contained in the application or otherwise made by the applicant.

 

Pequea Township (“the Township”) does not guarantee or give opinions relating to the adequacy of any proposed construction or design related to this permit and does not warrant compliance with any law or regulation by the issuance of this permit.  The applicant bears all responsibility for insuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations during and at completion of the work authorized by this permit, including but not limited to compliance with the Township Stormwater Management Ordinance, the Lancaster County Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, Uniform Construction Code, and Property Maintenance Codes.  The applicant acknowledges that he has not relied upon any oral or written statements of any Township officials in making this application.  The applicant is aware that he cannot begin excavation or construction or change the use of the property until a permit has been issued by the Township.

 

The applicant authorizes the Township to investigate, inspect, and examine the property described herein, including land and structures, and all supporting plans and designs, to determine compliance with the Township Zoning Ordinance, building codes and other applicable laws and regulations, and to determine the accuracy of the statements contained herein.  The applicant shall be responsible for paying inspection and review fees charged by Township inspectors. The applicant acknowledges that the Township requires that a final inspection may be performed and that a Certificate of Use and Occupancy may be required to be issued prior to occupancy or use of the structure or land use that is the subject of this application. It is the applicant’s responsibility to insure that applicable inspections are scheduled. The applicant acknowledges that, if the structure is occupied or used prior to the final inspection and issuance of a Certificate of Use and Occupancy, that work may need to be removed and reconstructed in order that an adequate inspection may be performed.  If the Township is required to perform such an additional inspection, additional inspection fees may be charged.

 

Nothing in this application shall be construed to relieve or limit the obligations of the applicant to comply with all applicable provisions of the Township Zoning Ordinance and other applicable Township laws and regulations, or to limit the ability of the Township to act against violations of the Zoning Ordinance or other applicable Township laws and regulations.

 

By signing this application, the applicant certifies that all facts in the application and all accompanying documentation become part of this application and that all such materials are true and correct.  This application is being made by the applicant to induce official action on the part of the Township, and the applicant understands that any false statements made herein may be subject to penalties relating to unsworn falsification to authorities.
