Year-End Report 2009 (Code Enforcement)
The Steuben County Plan Commission is responsible for enforcing several County Ordinances: the Zoning Ordinance, the Subdivision Control Ordinance, Ordinance 658 (Public Environmental Nuisances), and Ordinance 771 (Abatement of Abandoned Motor Vehicles).
In 2009, the Plan Commission processed 102 environmental nuisance complaints, 34 abandoned vehicle complaints, and 175 other ordinance violations. A total of 470 cases have been closed this past year.
The following graph shows new ordinance violation cases by month. The first bar is public environmental nuisances, the second is abandoned vehicles, and the third is other ordinance violations.

In addition to the above actions, the Plan Commission conducted a “clean-up day” in cooperation with the Walden Woods Community Association and Steuben County Community Service Workers. Two 40-yard dumpsters were filled over the weekend.
Towards the end of 2009, the Plan Commission began an effort to modernize and streamline code enforcement procedures. This overhaul process is only beginning; it may be several months until the full impact and benefits of these reforms will be realized. Our goal is to have all code enforcement cases resolved or sent to the court within 90 days of receiving a complaint or identifying a violation.

Year-End Report 2009 (Improvement Location Permits)
The Plan Commission is in the process of creating its Year End Report for 2009. Over the next several weeks, we will share parts of that report on this weblog. This first installment looks at Improvement Location Permits.
The Plan Commission issued 378 Improvement Location Permits (ILPs) in 2009. ILPs are required for many types of projects. A few examples are new homes, substantial remodeling, decks, fences, retaining walls, signs, and substantial grade changes.
The month with the most amount ILPs was July (52). The month with the least amount of ILPs was January (9).
Below is a graph showing the number of ILPs issued each month.
The cost for an ILP is determined by the size of the project. Those with an area of less than 350 square feet cost $25. Those with an area of 350 square feet and greater cost $75. Post-construction ILPs (work begins prior to receiving a permit) cost triple the regular amount.
