(a) Any use or activity in violation of the terms of this chapter is hereby declared to be a nuisance per se, and may be abated by order of any court of competent jurisdiction. The Village Council, in addition to other remedies, including those provided in subsection (b) hereof, may institute any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, abate or restrain the violation. All costs, fees and expenses in connection with such action shall be assessed as damages and charged to the violator.
(b) In the event of a violation, the Village of Franklin shall have the power to order complete restoration of the wetland area involved by the person or agent responsible for the violation. If such responsible person or agent does not complete such restoration within the time specified in the order (not to exceed eighteen months), the Village shall have the authority to restore the affected wetlands to their prior condition wherever possible and the person or agent responsible for the original violation shall be held liable to the Village for the cost of restoration.
