§ 153.170 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR TO ENFORCE AND ADMINISTER.
   (A)   The Zoning Administrator is hereby authorized and it shall be his duty to enforce and administer the provisions of this chapter. Appeal from the decisions of the Zoning Administrator may be made to the Board of Adjustment.
   (B)   Any development approval granted by the Zoning Administrator shall be in writing. The town may issue development approvals in print or electronic form. Any development approval issued exclusively in electronic form shall be protected from further editing once issued. Applications for development approvals may be made by the landowner, a lessee or person holding an option or contract to purchase or lease land, or an authorized agent of the landowner. Unless provided otherwise by law, all rights, privileges, benefits, burdens, and obligations created by development approvals made pursuant to this chapter attach to and run with the land. Unless otherwise specified by this chapter or statute, development approvals shall expire one year after issuance, unless work authorized by the permit has substantially commenced.
   (C)   For the purpose of making inspections, the Zoning Administrator is hereby authorized to enter, examine and survey at all reasonable times all dwellings, dwelling units, rooming houses, rooming units and the premises associated therewith. In exercising this power, staff are authorized to enter any premises within the jurisdiction of the town at all reasonable hours for the purposes of inspection or other enforcement action, upon presentation of proper credentials; provided, however, that the appropriate consent has been given for inspection of areas not open to the public or that an appropriate inspection warrant has been secured.
