A. Enforcement.
1. Double Fee. A double fee shall be charged by the Zoning Administrator if work is started before a permit is applied for and issued. Such double fee shall not release the applicant from full compliance with this Chapter nor from prosecution for violation of this Chapter.
2. Stop Work Order. The Zoning Administrator may issue a stop work order for a project to prevent further non-complying work. No person may continue construction or use after a stop work order has been issued. The person who receives such a stop work order may contest the validity of the same by requesting a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall affirm the stop work order unless the appellant shows that the Zoning Administrator erred in determining that the construction or use violated a provision or provisions of this Chapter.
B. Penalties.
1. Any building or structure hereinafter erected, moved, placed, or structurally altered or any use established in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or other land use chapter by any person, including building contractors or their agents, shall be deemed an unlawful structure or use. In case of any violation, the Village Board, Village Plan Commission, the Zoning Administrator or any property owner who would be specifically damaged by such violation may institute an action to enjoin, remove or vacate any use, erection, moving, alteration, or placement of any building or use in violation of this Chapter.
2. Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this Chapter or any order of the Zoning Administrator issued in accordance with this Chapter or who resists enforcement shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit not less than $10.00 nor more than $200.00 and all applicable costs for each violation and in default of payment of such forfeiture and costs may be imprisoned in the County Jail, until payment thereof, but not exceeding 30 days. Each day a violation exists or continues shall constitute a separate offense. See also Chapter 50.
