tion unless written notice is received from the Building Official that
the project is ready for a Certificate of Occupancy inspection. It was
suggested, that if an applicant requests an inspection before the pro-
ject is complete, the applicant be fined.

27, 1984, from the Building Official to the Community Appearance Board
concerning Certificate of Occupancy inspection.

Appearance Board Certificate of Occupancy inspection. "

tions from the Community Appearance Board or Planning Board must go
through the Building Department for transmittal to the Town Commission.
rk Vice chairman Guy Galizia recommended that the Building Official suggest
to the applicant that the building owner/contractor and the landscape
architect be present at the time the Community Appearance Board inspec-
tion is made.
