(A) The Zoning Administrator shall be appointed by the governing body. In the event of a failure to designate another party to hold said position, the duties of the Zoning Administrator shall be discharged by the governing body.
(B) The Zoning Administrator is hereby authorized to enforce this chapter and all provisions thereof and shall do so by any legal means available to him or her, including, but not limited to, the following.
(1) Building permit issuance. Advise the Building Official on the issuance of building permits. When the Zoning Administrator gives written notification to the Building Official that an intended use, building or structure would be in violation of this chapter, such written notification shall be a presumption of illegality and the Building Official shall not issue a building permit for such use, building or structure. (If the offices of Building Official and Zoning Administrator are held concurrently by one person, this person shall detail the violation in writing on the permit refusal notification.)
(2) Inspections for compliance. Inspect the uses of buildings, structures or land to determine compliance with this chapter. Such inspections shall be made at reasonable times.
(3) Notices of violation. Issue notices of violation wherever buildings or lands are being used contrary to the provisions of this chapter. (This shall be done by serving notice in writing on any person engaged in said use and posting such notice on the premises.)
(4) Report violations. Inform the governing body of all code violations and recommend specific courses of action with regard to each violation.
(5) Records maintained. Maintain a file of title violations and action to be taken by the governing body on such violations.
