The Town Manager shall appoint a Zoning Administrator. It shall be the duty of the duly appointed Zoning Administrator to administer and enforce the provisions of this chapter.
(A) Watershed administration.
(1) The Zoning Administrator shall monitor land use activities within the watershed areas to identify situations that may pose a threat to water quality. In investigating potential threats to water quality within the town, he or she may consult with any public agency or official and request recommendations. The Zoning Administrator shall report all findings to the Board of Adjustments, and request or recommend to the Board appropriate actions or proceedings necessary to restrain, correct or late any discovered threats to water quality or the public health, safety and welfare.
(2) The Zoning Administrator shall keep a record of variances involving a Water Supply Watershed Management Regulation. This record shall be submitted for each calendar year to the division of Water Quality on or before January first of the following year and shall provide a description of each project receiving a variance and the reasons for granting the variance.
(3) In implementing the water supply watershed protection program for the town, the Zoning Administrator shall keep records of the town's use of the provision that a maximum of 5% of the non-critical area of each watershed may be developed within non-residential development of a maximum of 70% built-upon surface area. Records of each watershed must be kept separate, and shall include the total acres of the non-critical watershed area, total acres eligible to be developed under this option, total acres approved for this development option, and individual records for each project with the following information; location, number of developed acres, and type of land use.
(B) Violations. If the Zoning Administrator finds that any of the provisions of this chapter are being violated, he or she shall notify in writing the person responsible for such violation, indicating the nature of the violation and ordering the action necessary to correct it. He or she may issue stop-work orders and shall order discontinuance of the illegal use of land, buildings or structures; removal of illegal building or structures, or of additions, alterations or structural changes thereto; discontinuance of any illegal work being done; or shall take any action authorized by this chapter to ensure compliance with or to prevent violation of its provisions. If a ruling of the Zoning Administrator is questioned, the aggrieved party or parties may appeal such ruling to the Board of Adjustment pursuant to the procedure found in § 154.046 of this chapter.
