A. The Zoning Officer may call in properly qualified experts to make the determinations. If such determinations indicate violation of the environmental performance standards, the costs of the determinations shall be assessed against the person or persons responsible for the violation as may be appropriate under the terms of Section 1311.18 Penalty.
B. If no violation is found, the costs of the determinations shall be paid by the City without assessment against the persons involved.
d) VIOLATION DETERMINED - If the Zoning Officer finds, after making determinations in the manner set forth in this Zoning Ordinance, that there is a violation of the environmental performance standards set forth herein, he shall take, or cause to be taken, lawful action to cause correction to within the limits established by such environmental performance standards. Failure to obey lawful orders concerning such corrections shall be punishable under the provisions of Section 1311.18 Penalty.
e) PROCEDURE FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION - If, in the considered judgment of the Zoning Officer, there is probable violation of the environmental performance standards set forth herein, the procedures of Section 1311.1
0 Remedies shall apply.
1) EXTENSION FOR COMPLIANCE - If a reply is received within the time limit set, stating that the alleged violation shall be corrected to the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer, but additional time is requested, the Zoning Officer may grant an extension of time if he deems it warranted in the circumstances of the case and if the extension shall not, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life, health, safety or property.
