Planning director reports January permits, inspections and fees; code enforcement cases fall
Summary
Planning Director John told the planning board January intake included roughly 72 permit applications, 11 inspections, and $6,782 in zoning fees collected; he said active code enforcement cases have fallen from about 63 in September to 33 with five closed in January and zero notices of violation issued that month.
Planning Director John delivered the January planning department report to the board, giving figures for permit intake, inspections and fees and updating on code enforcement activity. He said the department processed 72 zoning permit applications taken in January (including zoning, demolition, dunes/vegetation, storm water and tree removal) and reported $6,782 in zoning fees collected for the month.
John said code enforcement cases have declined since he started in September: "When I started here in September, we were at about 63 code enforcement cases. We're down to 33 right now," he reported, and added that five cases were closed in January and no notices of violation were sent that month. The board asked about inspection counts and processing time; John noted 11 inspections in January versus 43 in the same month last year and pointed to weather and slower seasonal activity as reasons for the drop.
Mikey, the planning department's permit technician, told the board most permits are processed within about a week, and John estimated a typical turnaround of roughly three to four days when workflow is steady. John also told the board the planning team currently consists of three staff: the planning director, Mikey (permit technician) and Greg Hayes (assistant town planner).
