(A) The Planning Director shall have the authority to determine violations of the standards set forth in this section. The procedures set forth in this section shall be followed prior to the initiation of any enforcement action under Chapter 11 of this Ordinance.
(B) Where determination of a violation of these standards requires the use of personnel or instruments not available to the Town, and a violation exists in the opinion of the Planning Director, the following procedures shall be followed:
(1) The Planning Director shall give written notice of the alleged violation by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owner or occupant of the property. The notice shall describe the alleged violation, state the reasons why the Director believes there is a violation, and require that the owner or occupant answer the allegation within 30 days of receiving the notice.
(2) After the 30-day period passes, if a dispute still exists between the Director and the alleged violator regarding the existence of violation, then the alleged violator may appeal to the Town Council. The Director shall then transmit to the Town Council a copy of the notice given to the alleged violator, along with any recommendations as to alterations, modifications, or securing the services of a consultant to determine whether a standard has been violated. The Town Council then shall make a determination as to whether a violation exists.
(3) If the Town Council finds the alleged violation to exist, then the costs of making that determination shall be charged to the owner or occupant of the property responsible for the violation. If the Town Council determines that no violation exists, then the Town shall cover the costs of making the determination.
(4) If a violation is not removed or corrected as directed by the Town Council, then the Director may:
(a) Recommend to the Town Council that any occupancy permits previously issued to the violator be voided and that the operator be required to cease operation until the violation is removed, corrected, or otherwise remedied; and/or
(b) Initiate further enforcement actions under Chapter 11 of this Ordinance.
