1123.99 ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTY.
Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations shall be obtained by applying penalties for noncompliance as follows:
(a) Violations of Rules and Regulations. Whoever violates any provision of these Regulations as duly adopted or fails to comply with any order issued pursuant thereto, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000). Each violation shall be considered a separate offense.
(b) Improvements to be Installed. The utilities and other improvements required by these Regulations and deemed necessary in the public interest to provide essential services and access to a lot shall be installed or their installation guaranteed, in conformance with the provisions of these Regulations before the issuance of a building permit for construction upon the lot and before the recording, sale or lease of the lot.
(c) Transfer of Land Before Recording. Whoever, being the owner or agent of the owner of any land located within the jurisdiction of these Regulations, transfers any lot, parcel or tract of such land, or in accordance with any plat of a subdivision before such plat has been recorded, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500. 00) for each lot, parcel or tract of land 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 forfeit herein provided. The Municipality may enjoin such sale or agreement by a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The sale of lots, parcels or tracts from a plat of a subdivision on which any and all areas indicated as streets or as open ground are expressly indicated as for the exclusive use of the abutting or other owners in such subdivision and not as public streets, ways or grounds shall not serve to exempt the seller from the requirements of these Regulations or from the penalty provided herein.
