The site plan will be submitted to the Building and Zoning Administrator. If it is determined, by the Building and Zoning Administrator that the site plan meets all the rules, regulations, and ordinances of the City of Lebanon, that no variance or conditional use is required, and it does not abut residentially zoned property then the Building and Zoning Administrator along with the City Administrator and Public Works Director may approve the site plan. The site plan will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission or approval. The City will notify the owner within 5 working days if the site plan has been approved or if the site plan must go before the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular monthly meeting. The Building and Zoning Administrator will report each month to the Planning and Zoning Commission, by mail, all site plans that have been approved, or by report at the next regularly scheduled meeting, which meeting is held the second Thursday of each month. The Commission shall have the power to require additional setback requirements (not to exceed 50 percent of the otherwise required setback for the district), construction of fencing, planting of trees and/or other similar requirements in order to reduce any harmful effects on the adjoining property. In reviewing the site design, the Commission shall consider all factors it deems relevant including the use of the adjoining property and the district classification of the adjoining property. No notice or hearing shall be required and the Commission shall review the site design and make its requirements, if any, as a part of the permit application procedure. The approval of the site plan by the Commission shall be void after a twelve-month period if no permit is issued and in the event a change in the code requirements occurs during the said twelve-month period. The site plan must be modified to conform to the new rules and resubmitted to the Commission. *Site plans must be complete and contain all items required. *Site plans need to be submitted to Taryn Keating at Sprint-United Telephone. P. O. Box 1099, Rolla, MO 65401 for their approval. *Site plans must also be submitted to Frank Miller at the State Highway Dept. in Springfield for his approval. The State’s approval is needed before a building permit will be issued. *Before a building permit will be issued a “Memorandum of Understanding” reciting that the owner understands that the building permit is granted on the express condition that the construction shall conform to the ordinances of the City in all respects including compliance with the site plan prepared by the engineer or surveyor and that the owner understands the building or construction cannot be occupied or used until such compliance is made and that no occupancy permit will be issued until compliance is made. *Before a building permit is issued the owner must certify to city on the Memo of Understanding who will be inspecting the job. *Any changes to the original site plan and building plans must be approved by the engineer/architect and/or surveyor who designed the site plan or building plans and the City. *It shall be a violation to occupy the building or use the site until all construction is complete and an occupancy permit is issued. *If a sign is to be erected and/or maintained on property where improvements are to be constructed, altered, repaired, or removed, the application for sign permit shall accompany the application for building permit. The location of any proposed sign or existing sign or signs shall be shown on the required site plan. Attached is a copy of the City’s Guidelines pertaining to site plans and building plan.
