Cold Spring trustees sign off on streamlined building-permit application and checklist changes
Summary
Trustees reviewed updates to the village building-permit application to add clearer referral steps to water and wastewater, an owner-consent form for tenant applicants, and to note the $75 application fee and where to submit it; staff will revise the draft and produce fillable PDFs.
Trustees reviewed a reworked building-permit application and checklist intended to make the process clearer for applicants and to ensure referrals to code enforcement, water and wastewater occur as needed. The president said the revisions add an owner-consent form so building owners must sign if tenants submit applications, and the checklist will call out referrals to water and wastewater and to zoning and planning as appropriate.
Board members discussed whether to include fee information on the application; staff noted that the permit application fee is a flat $75 but that the code-enforcement office calculates the final permit cost based on estimated project value. "Right now, the application fee is flat, $75, which it will remain to submit the application for processing," the president said. Trustees asked staff to produce a single-page checklist, correct a minor typo and convert final documents to fillable PDFs for electronic submission when possible. Code enforcement staff will advise if the village wishes to align fee calculations with the town’s square-footage method in a future fee-schedule update.
Staff committed to circulating a revised draft and producing fillable PDFs to reduce paper use and clarify where applicants should submit forms.
