A. The director shall review the proposed action plan in accordance with the standards below. The action plan shall achieve compliance with this chapter, as determined by the director, within forty five (45) days of submission, with such extensions as weather or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the owner, as determined by the director, shall warrant; provided, that any violations which could lead to imminent loss of life or material damage to property shall be corrected forthwith. Based upon the report of the director, the village president shall send notice to the owner of the vacant building of the village's determination whether to approve the action plan. In considering the appropriateness of the action plan, the director shall include the following in his or her consideration and shall make written findings as to each:
1. The purposes of this chapter and intent of the village to minimize the time a building is temporarily boarded or otherwise vacant.
2. The effect of the building and the proposed action plan on adjoining property.
3. The length of time the building has been vacant.
4. The presence of any public nuisances on the premises.
5. The likelihood that the action plan thereof will prevent or ameliorate the condition it is designed to address.
B. The village reserves the right to elect to have and enforce a lien upon the premises for all of the village's costs and expenses, which lien shall be superior to all other liens and encumbrances as permitted by 65 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/11-20-15.1, and nothing in this chapter or in connection with the review or approval of an action plan shall be construed as a limitation or waiver by the village of such lien rights. (Ord. 10-12-25, 12-7-2010)
