A. 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 village board may determine that a violation of the minimum standards of this chapter exists. In such event, the village board shall direct the village clerk to notify the owner in writing of such violation. The notice shall be delivered by hand or shall be mailed, certified mail, return receipt requested.
B. If such owner fails within ten (10) days after personal service of a notice, or thirteen (13) days after the date of mailing of a 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 such 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 fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense; and
3. A separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
4. The village shall record a notice of violation on the title to the property.
C. As part of the notice, the village clerk shall inform the owner that any such violation is considered a wilful act to increase flood damages and therefore may cause coverage by a standard flood insurance policy to be suspended.
D. Nothing herein shall prevent the village from taking such other lawful action to prevent or remedy any violations. All costs connected therewith shall accrue to the person or persons responsible. (Ord. 04-02, 4-12-2004)
