Kyrgyz reformers didn't stop there. A presidential decree eliminated the location permit, which had required the signature of Bishkek's mayor and took 60 days to obtain. "It used to be a nightmare. You never knew what additional papers would be required," says Bekbolot, owner of a medium-size construction company. The mayor's office no longer handles occupancy permits either.

With the return of warmer weather, you may be thinking about taking care of various home improvement projects that have languished too long on your "things to do" list. While some items on the list may not require a building permit, other projects will. To make it as easy as possible to find out what, if any, permits you'll need, the Marin Association of REALTORS® hosts a building permit information center on its Web site at www.MarinCountyREALTORS.com (click on the "Marin Building Permits" button on the home page). A case in point is the city of Novato, which sponsored two amnesty programs between 1998 and 2000.

where we stand If a zoning commissioner has trouble sorting out the building permit process, do regular citizens stand a chance? It was just a footnote to the TH's Dubuque City Council report last week, but it merits a headline about ordinances and those who hold leadership in city government.
SAN BERNARDINO - While Bob repeatedly advised county departments not to give any special favors to a 5th District campaign contributor's development in Bloomington, he was named in nearly 100 emails as he checked on status updates as the project traversed the building permit process, according to Superior Court testimony.

A Eugene-based advocacy group this week filed a notice of intent to appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals concerning the process the city of Eugene followed to issue a building permit. Connecting Eugene is challenging the permit for excavation and grading work for a 250-car surface parking lot that would be attached to a 79,800-square-foot office building. The group contends that the city is required under state law to hold a public hearing before issuing a building permit for any of the properties within a 67-acre area of land owned by the University of Oregon. The construction project is planned to take place within the area.
