No building or structure shall be erected, reconstructed, enlarged, or moved until a building permit has been applied for in writing and issued by the Zoning Administrator or a designee authorized by the village president. The building permit must be posted in a prominent place on the premises prior to and during the period of erection, reconstruction, enlargement, or moving. No building permit shall be issued unless the application, plat, and building plans disclose that the application is for:

The erection, reconstruction, conversion, enlargement, or structural alteration of a building entirely occupied by a conforming use, and that the applicable height, area, floor area ratio, open space ratio, yard, and parking regulations are fully met;

b.

The reconstruction of a building, occupied wholly or partly by a nonconforming use that has been damaged by fire, explosion, or act of God, and that such reconstruction is authorized under the provisions of this Chapter; or

c.

The conversion or structural alteration of a building other than a dwelling, occupied wholly or partly by a nonconforming use; that the applicable height, area, floor area ratio, open space ratio, yard, and parking regulations are fully met; and that such conversions or structural alteration is authorized under the provisions of this Chapter.

2.

The building permit, if issued, shall state upon its face the purposes for which the building or structure will be used and whether this use is conforming or nonconforming in character.
