It appears from this section that it is the responsibility of the county to issue all building permits for construction in the Town. This section does not include a provision for the Town issuing a permit, but provides that the Town shall issue a building permit receipt. I assume this receipt would simply acknowledge to the applicant that the Town has received and maintains in its office a copy of the building permit issued by the county. I assume we have a contract or an interlocal agreement with the county relating to the issuance of permits. We should take a look at that to determine if it adequately covers the situation as you anticipate handling it.

VICV Mlya F REO a DEvrtI III ROBERT W HOPMN$11 WILLIAM LYNCH April 23, 1998 Kurt Eismann, Building Official Palm Beach County 100 Australian Avenue West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Rei Permit Submittal Procedures Dear Kurt: it• 4, T,400h v (5611276 5116 FAR Pin) 737.0186 Tp My1Vyw WISTIN KERN GARRISON Tpv, CWY RnALUY10n The Town Commission recently approved minor changes to Town ordinances which enable us to streamline our building permit submittal and review procedures. Prior to these code changes, a building permit applicant was required to make three trips to Town Hall: Former Process 1) Applicant submits Building plans for review 2) Applicant picks up building plans after the Town has reviewed them for compliance with local zoning ordinances, previous architectural approvals, etc., and take them over to the County office. 3) After the county releases the permit to the Town, the applicant must return to Town Hall to pick up the permit and pay the Town's permit fee (which is based on 30% of the County's permit fee or $50, whichever is greater). Revised Process, effective May 15, 1998 The Town originally asked the County to collect our fees for us, in order to save the applicant a trip to Town Hall. During those discussions, you suggested that we instead collect our fees up -front. Accordingly, we have processed an ordinance amendment enabling us to establish our own review fees, rather than charging 30% after the County has calculated its review fee. This essentially eliminates the third step by collecting the Town's review fee up -front at step 92, and allows the applicant to deal directly with the County during the permit process. The applicant now will pick up the permit directly from the South County office after it has been issued, and Gulf Stream's copy of the permit and plans will continue to be placed in our mail slot for regular pick-up. 100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM. FLOR{DIk 33483 MAY -07-1990 It'd! TOWN OF LULF h1HtHN Kurt Eismann Page 2 The revised permit application procedures, effective May 15, 1998, are attached for your information and review. Please note that all permit apolications will continue to originate through the Town and the South County office should continue to refuse an application without Gulf Stream's review stamp, with the following two exceptions: (a) no -fee su b -permits, and (b) revisions which are a direct result of County plan reviewer comments. However, any revisions which affect the building's exterior appearance or the site plan must be sent back through the Town. For example, changes in exterior mechanical equipment location, window placement or design, roof line changes, exterior handicapped access alterations, changes in hurricane shutter design/ appearance, all must be re -reviewed by the Town. The Building Department should continue to send the Town a copy of these no fee sub - permits and reviewer -initiated revisions after they are approved. Inspection procedures and Certificate of Occupancy issuance will remain the same — inspections will be scheduled by the contractor and all C.O.s will be sent through the Town. The Town will release the C.O. after confirming that Town requirements have been met. We hope that these new procedures will be more customer -friendly and, as always, we will remain open to future refinements as we gain experienFe with the new approach. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions..
