Trustees review building‑code permit updates; committee moves item for later action

Summary

Trustees reviewed proposed changes to the building‑code permit‑requirement table — including separating permit fees and deposits, clarifying window egress requirements and changing the threshold for sheds to 300 square feet — and agreed to move the item to a later meeting for possible action.

Trustees reviewed a proposed update to the village’s building‑code guidance that would clarify permit requirements, fees and deposit columns, add a reminder to contact the township highway department for driveway culvert inspections, and include a new 300‑square‑foot threshold for sheds.

A staff presenter said the draft reflected adjustments from the last meeting: links to the village building and zoning codes were added, driveway culvert notification language and a phone number for Camden Township Highway Department were included, window‑replacement notes were amended to require verification that egress openings have not decreased, and permit‑fee and deposit columns were separated for clarity.

After discussion, a trustee moved to advance the item to an action item. Another trustee asked to delay action until the second meeting after the upcoming meeting; trustees agreed to table the item to that meeting (participants identified August 19 as the meeting in which the item could be considered). No formal roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript.
