A. AUTHORITY TO REVOKE.
Any permit, certificate or approval issued or granted under this Ordinance may be revoked by the Zoning Administrator, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, if the Zoning Administrator finds that the recipient of the permit, certificate or approval ("recipient") fails to use, develop or maintain the subject property in accordance with the plans submitted, the requirements and standards of this Ordinance, any additional requirements or conditions imposed by the Town, Board, Commission or Zoning Administrator, or any commitments or self imposed conditions made by the recipient.

1. No person may continue to improve or make use of the subject property after a permit, certificate or approval has been revoked.
2. The Zoning Administrator may not issue any additional permits, certificates or approvals directly affecting or relative to the subject property until the basis for the revocation has been removed by the applicant or the matter otherwise resolved by the Town, Board, Commission, Zoning Administrator or recipient.
C. REVOCATION PROCEDURE.
1. If the Zoning Administrator finds that sufficient grounds exist for the revocation of a permit, certificate or approval, the Zoning Administrator shall send the recipient ten (10) days written notice of intent to revoke, shall inform the recipient of the specific basis found to justify revocation, and shall specify the actions necessary to avoid revocation.
2. Within five (5) days of giving notice of intent to revoke, the Zoning Administrator shall, upon request, review the basis of the intended revocation with the recipient.
