All applications shall require evidence that the applicant has legal authority to make an application with respect to the land and title that are the subject of such application.

The applicant shall provide building plans for any structures and mappings of the proposed locations and improvements relating to the proposed use. All building plans shall meet the requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and applicable codes of the Town of Lansing.

The application shall at a minimum: i) state the applicant's name and address; ii) identify the lot and Tax Map parcel numbers affected by the application; iii) identify the location and size of all existing structures on the lot(s), including primary use buildings, accessory buildings and structures, driveways, parking areas, and existing or proposed easements; iv) identify the proposed point of access or entry to any structure or improvements; and v) identify the distance from the building or improvement area lines to all lot lines, road right-of-way lines, waterfront lines, stream edges, and any other features of the lot or parcel. When establishing measurements to meet the required setbacks and yard sizes, the measurements shall be taken from the lot line, road right-of-way line, or nearest mean high-water line to the furthermost protruding part of the use or structure.

Two copies of a layout or plan showing the actual dimensions of any improvement and a description of the proposed use sufficient to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter shall be supplied. The layout or plans required by this Subsection A(4), and the immediately preceding Subsection A(3), may be informal, but should be reasonably to scale so as to allow verification of dimensional and other requirements.

Payment of a zoning permit application fee as set from time to time by the Town Board, or in the absence of a fee schedule for zoning permits or any resolution setting such amount, $50.

Any application, permit, review, or other fees referenced in this chapter may be determined, amended, and periodically updated by the Town Board by resolution. In addition, fee schedules may be developed and approved by resolution to reimburse the Town for the reasonable and anticipated costs incurred in any review, including for public hearings, publication, mailings, title reviews, inspections, dedications, SEQRA reviews, stormwater reviews, legal and engineering (and other professional) consulting, and other incurred expenses of the Town. All such fees and fee schedules shall be reasonable and properly chargeable to the applicant or other person required to pay the same, and all such fees and fee schedules shall be periodically reviewed by the Town Board to ensure reasonableness and legality.

No zoning permit may be issued or approved where the Town Board, the Planning Board, or the Board of Zoning Appeals has previously issued or denied a ruling, permit, appeal, or approval concerning the emplacement or allowance of any structure or use to which a zoning permit may apply. Similarly, a zoning permit may not be issued in relation to any modification of a site plan, a special permit, a subdivision, a PDA, or other prior or current similar review.

No zoning permit may be issued unless the application meets all general standards and the specific standards listed for each proposed use or structure to which zoning permits apply (see below), the applicant verifies future compliance, in writing, with all applicable standards, and the Code Officer or other official empowered under this chapter to issue zoning permits finds and determines that all requirements and standards have been met for the application under review.

The review and issuance of zoning permits shall be considered a ministerial action; if an applicant, through its application, demonstrates compliance with the requirements of this chapter, a zoning permit shall be issued.

The Code Enforcement Officer (or other authorized official) shall take action to approve or disapprove the application within 15 days of the receipt of a completed application, including the payment of all application fees. If an application is submitted that is incomplete or in error, the Code Enforcement Officer (or other authorized official) will advise the applicant as to such fact(s) within 15 days of the receipt of the application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Code Enforcement Officer (or other authorized official) to issue any notice or determination within the time herein required, or as otherwise required by law, shall not result in any presumption of approval, completeness, or of any right to obtain a permit (or a denial thereof), whether in relation to any application, submission, or any related communications or materials.

All standards and requirements of proof expressly or impliedly stated herein as applicable to zoning permits shall be strictly but reasonably construed and applied. Any determination made upon any application, whether to issue a zoning permit, deny such permit or application, approve the same with required modifications, etc., shall be appealable to the Board of Zoning Appeals per the provisions of §§ 267-a and 267-b and related provisions of the Town Law.
