a. Whoever violates any rule or regulation adopted by the City Council for the purpose of setting standards and requiring and securing the construction of improvements within a subdivision, or fails to comply with any order pursuant thereto, is creating a public nuisance, and the creation thereof may be enjoined and maintenance thereof may be abated by action at suit of the County or any citizen thereof. Whoever violates these Regulations shall forfeit and pay not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each offense. Each day such violation continues shall be considered a separate offense. Such sum may be recovered, with costs, in a civil action suit brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Hardin County.
b. Whoever, being the owner or agent of an owner of any land within the Municipality, transfers any lot, parcel or tract of such land from or in accordance with a plat of a subdivision before such plat has been recorded in the office of the County Recorder, shall forfeit and pay the sum of not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each lot, parcel or tract of land so sold. The description of such lot, parcel or tract by metes and bounds in the deed of transfer shall not serve to exempt the seller from the forfeiture provided in this section.
