A.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer in the Town of Haddam
shall be appointed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and shall
have all the powers, duties and responsibilities assigned to the Zoning
Enforcement Officer in these regulations.
B.
It shall be the duty of the Zoning Enforcement Officer,
as authorized, to enforce the provisions of these regulations.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer, as authorized,
may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent the
unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair,
conversion, maintenance, or removal of any building or structure,
or the unlawful use of land; to restrain, correct, or abate any violations
of these regulations; to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure
or land; or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in,
on or about the premises, or to cancel any permit for cause whenever
such acts shall be in violation of the provisions of these regulations.
Penalties shall be as provided by the Connecticut General Statutes
or such local ordinances as shall apply.
Nothing contained herein shall require any change
in the plans, construction, size or designated use of a building for
which a building permit has been granted or for which a zoning permit
has been issued by the Commission or its agent before the effective
date of these regulations and the construction of which, from such
permit, shall have been started within six months of such date and
diligently prosecuted to completion.
No building or structure, or part thereof, shall
be constructed, reconstructed, moved or enlarged, nor shall any use
requiring Planning and Zoning Commission or Zoning Board of Appeals
approval be initiated, nor shall any lot, building or other structure
be changed in use unless a zoning permit or certificate of zoning
compliance for the proposed construction and/or use has been issued
by the Commission or its agent. The Commission is empowered to adopt
forms and procedures, and to set fees relating to the issuance of
a zoning permit. Whenever a well, septic tank or other sanitary arrangement
is to be installed in connection with or as a part of any project
for which a permit is required or is being issued, a copy of a Health
Director's statement must be submitted with the application.
A.
For each application for a site plan approval for
which a public hearing has been noticed or special permit, the applicant
shall post a sign, not smaller than 36 inches by 36 inches, facing
the street, and visible from the street, bearing the following words
with letters not less than three inches high and provided by the Land
Use Office:
|
PUBLIC NOTICE

This property is the subject of an application
before the Haddam Planning and Zoning Commission.

B.
Such sign shall be posted at least 10 days before
any public hearing (not including the day of the public hearing or
the day the sign is erected) on the application.
C.
The applicant shall, at the time of the Commission
meeting at which the matter is to be acted upon, or at the time of
the public hearing, submit an affidavit of compliance with this provision,
and a photo of the actual sign.
A certificate of zoning compliance is a document
stating that the site plan of a proposed use has been adhered to and
completed and in conformance with these regulations. Only after a
certificate of zoning compliance has been issued by the Zoning Enforcement
Officer will a certificate of occupancy permitting land, buildings
and other structures, or parts thereof, to be used or occupied, or
changed in use, be issued.
A.
Any person, or persons, aggrieved by an action of
a designated agent of the Planning and Zoning Commission may appeal
such action to the Zoning Board of Appeals as outlined in C.G.S. § 8-7,
as most recently amended.
B.
Any person, or persons, aggrieved by an action of
the Planning and Zoning Commission may appeal to the Superior Court,
Judicial District of Middlesex at Middletown, in accordance with C.G.S.
§ 8-9, as most recently amended.
Any permit is subject to revocation if any condition
of the permit is violated. The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall give
written warning upon discovery of the first violation. Any further
violations shall be reported to the Commission for action. The Commission
shall thereupon hold a hearing; and if it is found that there is a
violation of any condition of the permit, the Commission may revoke
such permit. Each successive day of violation shall be considered
a separate violation for the purposes of this action.
