Enforcement of this chapter shall be subject to enforcement actions within the city code, the severity of the violation and the construction site operator's efforts to comply. The city shall reserve the right to interpret enforcement on a case by case basis. Tiered enforcement will be practiced at the City Engineer's discretion or the designee of the City Engineer. The tiered enforcement may include:
(A) Verbal warning to the construction site operator to make corrections.
(B) Written warning to the construction site operator to make corrections within a specified period of time. The period of time shall take into account issues such as the severity of the problem, pending weather, seasonal conditions, and the level of effort necessary to correct the problem.
(C) Warning of non-compliance with directions to the construction site operator that site conditions require immediate action.
(D) Stop work order.
(E) Fines as may be permissible under the Seymour Municipal Code. If abatement of a violation and/or restoration of affected property is required, the notice shall set forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed. Said notice shall further advise that, should the violator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, the work will be done by a designated governmental agency or a contractor and the expense shall be charged to the violator.
