(A) It is the intent of this chapter that all questions of enforcement shall be first presented to the Zoning Administrator, and that such questions shall be presented to the Board only on appeal from the decision of the Zoning Administrator, and that recourse from the decision of the Board shall be to the courts as provided by law. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent any official of the city from appealing a decision of the Board to the courts as provided in state law. Any such appeal shall be made within 30 days of the Board's written decision.
(B) The Zoning Administrator may place a stop work order on any person, firm or property that is in violation of the subdivision ordinance, Chapter 156 of this code or this chapter. Any person that is effected by this order may appeal the decision to the Board of Zoning Appeals within 30 days of this order; however, the work stay shall remain until the Administrator or official releases the stop work order.
(C) Any person who starts construction without obtaining an improvement location permit may be charged a late filing fee equal to the permit fee, not to exceed $100.
