actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size, shape and location of
the building or structure to be erected, architectural plans and specifications,
the use to be made of the building or structure upon completion, and such other
information as may be necessary for the enforcement of this Chapter and the
other ordinances of the City of Clarkson Valley.

provisions of this Chapter, in duplicate; one (1) copy to be placed on file in
the office of the Building Commissioner and the other copy to be posted in a
conspicuous place on the building during the construction or alteration; stating
that the proposed location, construction or structural alteration is in
conformity with the provisions of this Chapter.
2.
Such a certificate of tentative occupancy shall be issued for a period
not exceeding one (1) year, but may be extended for a similar period if
construction or structural alteration is not completed within one (1) year from
date of issuance, and shall not be construed as in any way altering the
respective rights, duties or obligations of the owners or of the City, relating
to the use or occupancy of the land or building or any other matter covered by
this Chapter and such certificate of tentative occupancy shall not be issued
except under such restrictions and provisions as will adequately insure the
safety of the occupants.

An occupancy permit will be issued by the Building Commissioner upon
completion of the building in compliance with the conditional approval within
seven (7) days after the completion of the structure and after application for
same has been filed by the owner of the property in writing with the Building
Commissioner. The occupancy permit shall state that the building complies
with all the provisions of this Chapter.
