[Amended 3-5-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-5]
This chapter shall be enforced by the designated
Zoning Officer of the Township. No permit of any kind as provided
in this chapter shall be granted by him for any purpose except in
compliance with the provisions of this chapter or a decision of the
Consolidated Land Use Board of Mansfield Township or the courts.
Any person, partnership or corporation who or
which shall violate the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction
thereof in a summary proceeding, be sentenced to pay a fine of not
more than $500. In default of payment of the fine, such person, the
members of such partnership or the officers of such corporation shall
be liable to imprisonment for not more than 60 days. All fines collected
for the violation of zoning ordinances shall be paid over to the Township.
Whenever such person has been officially notified by the Zoning Officer
or by service of a summons in a prosecution or in any other official
manner that he is committing a violation, then each day after that
that a violation is continued shall constitute a separate offense
and be punishable by like fine or penalty.
For any and every violation of the provisions
of this chapter, the owner, contractor or other persons interested
as lessee, tenant or otherwise in any building or premises where any
such violation has been committed or shall exist and who refuses to
abate said violation within five days after written notice has been
served upon him either by mail or personal service shall, for each
and every violation, be subject to punishment as a disorderly person.
Each and every day that such violation continues after such notice
shall be considered a separate and specific violation of this chapter.
Any uses not specifically permitted in a zoning
district established by this chapter are hereby specifically prohibited
from the district.
