Failure to obtain a permit for development in the floodplain or, failure to comply with the conditions of a permit or a variance shall be deemed to be a violation of this chapter. Upon due investigation, the Building Inspector may determine that a violation of the minimum standards of this chapter exists. The Building and Zoning Officer shall notify the owner, in writing of the violation.
(A) If the owner fails, after ten days’ notice, to correct the violation:
(1) The village shall make application to the Circuit Court for an injunction requiring conformance with this chapter or make the other order as the court deems necessary to secure compliance with this chapter;
(2) Any person who violates this chapter shall upon conviction thereof be fined not less than $75 nor more than $750 or each offense;
(3) A separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues; and
(4) The village shall record a notice of violation on the title to the property.
(B) The Building and Zoning Officer shall inform the owner that any violation is considered a willful act to increase flood damages and therefore may cause coverage by a standard flood insurance policy to be suspended.
(C) Nothing herein shall prevent the village from taking other lawful action to prevent or remedy any violations. All costs connected therewith shall accrue to the person or persons responsible.
