CABIN EXCLUSION FORM (pdf) A Zoning Permit IS required and all Zoning
requirements must be met, but this type of application excludes your cabin from
UCC requlations, except for the presence of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide
detectors, and fire extinguishers. Please read this form carefully and consider
the implications of no construction inspections. There will be no construction
inspections, and no Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. The Township will
assume exactly no liability for construction methods and materials
for a recreational cabin. The Township will inspect only for smoke alarms,
carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers after the structure is
completed. A Zoning Use Certificate and Certificate of Compliance for
Recreational Cabins will be issued following an inspection for Zoning
requirements and for the presence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and
fire extinguishers as of the date of the inspection.
