months.
(2) Accessory buildings on single-family residential properties, 12 months.
(3) All multifamily and nonresidential construction, 24 months, except when a longer time is

shall be expeditiously brought to completion to protect adjoining and nearby properties as follows:
(1) No land shall remain disturbed and exposed without established grass or other ground cover for
a period exceeding 12 months, or any lesser period as may be specified in the permit.
(2) All exterior construction, including siding, roofing, doors,windows and finish, shall be completed
and present a finished appearance within 12 months of the start of construction.
(c) Failure to complete such exterior construction shall result in the suspension of the existing permit until
payment of 100 percent of the original building permit has been made. Should this not satisfy the time
and materials expenditure of staff,the city shall directly bill the amount exceeding the permit with
payment required prior to issuance of a final occupancy permit.Any payment under this section does
not negate the permit limits of subsection (a)of this section and may not be applied to satisfy payment
