A.
Official: The community development director is hereby designated and authorized as the officer charged with the enforcement of this chapter. He shall enforce all the provisions of this chapter, entering actions in the courts when necessary and his failure to do so may not legalize any violation of such provisions.
B.
Permits: The community development director may not grant a permit, nor shall any city officer grant any license or permit for the use of any land or the construction or alteration of any building or structure on a lot which would be in violation of any provisions of this chapter or on a lot in a subdivision created by judicial decree, until a subdivision plat therefor has been recorded, or approved under section 10-21-7 of this chapter. Any license or permit issued in conflict with such provisions shall be null and void.
C.
Inspections: The community development director shall inspect or cause to be inspected all buildings, fire hydrants, water supply, and sewage disposal systems during construction, installation, or repair. Excavations for fire hydrants and water and sewer mains and laterals may not be covered or backfilled until such installation shall have been approved by the city engineer. If any such installation is covered before being inspected and approved, it shall be uncovered after notice to uncover has been issued to the responsible person by the community development director.
D.
Fee: At the time any building permit is applied for to construct any building or structure in any subdivision which may be established, there shall be paid, along with such application for such building permit, a fee in such amount as prescribed by the city council as provided in the consolidated fee schedule set forth in title 1, chapter 12 of this code, which additional fee shall be in addition to the usual building permit fee which might otherwise be applicable. This additional fee shall be used to assist in defraying the expenses of the city in the creation of such subdivision.
