(A) A Zoning Administrator designated by the Town Council shall administer and enforce this chapter. The Zoning Administrator may be provided with the assistance of the other persons as the South Congaree Town Council may direct. It is the intent of this chapter that all questions of administration and enforcement shall first be presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals only upon reference by, or appeal from, the Zoning Administrator, and that recourse from the decisions of the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be to the courts as provided by law.
(B) The Zoning Administrator shall administer this chapter with its literal terms and shall have the authority to stop work not complying with the provisions of this chapter, but shall not have the power to permit any construction or any use or any change of use which does not conform to the provisions of this chapter.
(C) It is further the intent of this chapter that the function of the Town Council under this chapter shall not include hearing and deciding questions of interpretation and enforcement which may arise, but that the Town Council shall have only the responsibility for acting on proposals for amendment or repeal of this chapter, and for establishing a schedule of fees and charges as herein provided.
(D) The Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission, its members and employees in the performance of its function, may enter at a reasonable time upon any land, make examinations and survey, and place and maintain necessary monuments and markers thereon; provided, however, that the Planning Commission shall be liable for any injury or damage to property resulting therefrom.
