This chapter contemplates an administrative and enforcement
officer titled the "Zoning Administrator" to administer and enforce
the same. Certain considerations, particularly with regard to granting
of permitted conditional uses and planned unit development conditional
uses, changes in zoning districts and the Zoning Map, and amending
the text of this chapter, require review and recommendation by the
Plan Commission and ultimate action by the Village Board. A Zoning
Board of Appeals is provided to assure proper administration of this
chapter and to avoid arbitrariness.
The Village Board shall designate a Village official to serve
as the Zoning Administrator and as the administrative enforcement
officer for the provisions of this chapter. The duty of the Zoning
Administrator shall be to interpret and administer this chapter and
to issue, after on-site inspection, all permits required by this chapter,
except as otherwise provided in this chapter. The Zoning Administrator
shall further:
A. Maintain records of all permits issued, inspections made, work approved
and other official actions.
B. Inspect all structures, lands and waters as often as necessary to
assure compliance with this chapter.
C. Investigate all complaints made relating to the location of structures
and the use of structures, lands and waters, give notice of all violations
of this chapter to the owner, resident, agent or occupant of the premises
and report uncorrected violations to the Village Attorney in a manner
specified by him.
D. Prohibit the use or erection of any structure, land or water until
he has inspected and approved such use or erection.
E. Request assistance and cooperation from the Police Department and
Village Attorney as deemed necessary.
