WHEREAS, the Oshtemo Charter Township Board of Trustees, the Cooper

Temporary Certificate of Occupancy Policy Page 2 of 10
Directors wish to establish a uniform policy outlining the circumstances under which
temporary certificates of occupancy may be issued by the Authority on behalf of the
Participating Local Units.
THEREFORE, BE IF HEREBY RESOLVED that a temporary certificate of
occupancy may be issued in accordance with the following policy; that the following
policy is adopted by the Participating Local Units and SMBA.
1. Application and Inspection(s)
a. The applicant shall submit a request made in writing on a form prescribed
by SMBA outlining the reason(s) for the request and detailing all
outstanding items with anticipated completion dates.
b. The applicant shall submit a non-refundable application fee in the amount
of $500.00; note that this amount does not include inspection fees,
meeting fees, or review fees. The application fee shall be split evenly
between SMBA and the Participating Local Unit.
c. Upon receipt of the complete application SMBA and the Participating
Local Unit shall perform an inspection of the building/structure and site to
determine that the following conditions are met prior to the issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy:
I. The structure and site shall be substantially complete.
“Substantially complete” for the building/structure means that all
major systems–such as plumbing, electrical, mechanical/HVAC, fire
alarm/suppression, and sewer/septic systems—are installed and
inspection approval has been granted in accordance with the
2023-06-22 SMBA Board Packet | Page 23 of 34

approved plan(s). Substantial site completion shall include but not
be limited to The following items shall be fully completed: the
parking lot paving and striping, site circulation elements, fire
access, , commercial driveways, and nonmotorized facilities,;
additionally, the following shall be substantially complete provided
they are functioning per the approved plan: lighting, nonmotorized
facilities, and all stormwater management facilities and systems are
functioning per the approved project site plan, if applicable.
Outstanding items listed within the application for a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy shall only be considered if not deemed to
be part of substantial completion.
II. The building/structure and site may be occupied safely. “Occupied
safely” means that the Building Official, Township Fire Marshal, and
Township Zoning Administrator, agree that the building/structure
and site do not pose any risk to the public’s health, safety, or
welfare. Site conditions that shall preclude issuance of a
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy include incomplete and/or
malfunctioning stormwater management facilities and systems;
incomplete lighting and other security elements that may pose a
safety risk to the public or property itself; incomplete paving that
may pose a risk to motorists or pedestrians; the absence of
pavement markings necessary to direct vehicle and pedestrian
traffic in a safe manner; or similar site deficiencies not expressed

2. Conditions of Issuance
a. SMBA and the Participating Local Unit consent to the issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy in accordance with Section 1 of this
Policy.
b. A Temporary Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until a Cash

calculated based on the Building Valuation Data (“BVD”) for the project,
multiplied by the factor indicated in the below “Refundable Cash Surety
Payment” table using the primary Occupancy Group (as defined in the
Michigan Building Code) of the structure. Building Valuation Data shall be
calculated using the square footage of the structure multiplied by the
average construction cost per square foot table published by the
International Code Council. If the result of said calculation is less than the
“Minimum” amount listed in the “Refundable Cash Surety Payment” table,
then the amount of the Cash Surety shall be the Minimum amount. The
final amount will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar.

R (Not Including R-3), I BVD * 0.0040 $10,000.00

the entire property, provide for estimate or impacted
area as alternative.
Commented [IL2]: Can we walk through an Advia
example. Is this enough?
Commented [KG3R2]: BVD for Advia was
$26,002,996. Occupancy group is “B”. Would have
resulted in a surety of $780,090.00.
