[Ord. 100, 10/12/1993, § 901]
Proceedings for securing review of any ordinance, decision,
determination or order of the Board of Supervisors, its agencies or
officers adopted or issued pursuant to this Chapter shall be in accordance
with the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247 of 1968,
as amended.
[Ord. 100, 10/12/1993, § 902]
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated
or permitted the violation of the provisions of this Chapter shall,
upon being found guilty therefore in a civil proceeding commenced
by Ralpho Township, pay a judgment of not more than $500 plus all
court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
the Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be
imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of
a violation by the District Justice. If the defendant neither pays
nor timely appeals the judgement, Ralpho Township may enforce the
judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each
day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation,
unless the District Justice determining that there has been a violation
further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person,
partnership or corporation violating this Chapter to have believed
that there was violation, in which event there shall be deemed to
have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the
date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice and
thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a
separate violation. All judgments, costs and reasonable attorney's
fees collected for the violation of this Chapter shall be paid over
to Ralpho Township.
[Ord. 100, 10/12/1993, § 903]
In case any building, or structure, or land is, or is proposed
to be, erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained
or used in violation of this Chapter, the Supervisors of Ralpho Township,
or with the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the Code Enforcement
Officer, in addition to other remedies, may institute in the name
of the Township any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain,
correct or abate such building, structure, or land, or to prevent,
in or about such premises, any act, conduct or business use constituting
a violation.
[Ord. 100, 10/12/1993, § 904]
This Chapter shall not apply to any existing or proposed buildings,
or extensions thereof, used or to be used by a public utility corporation,
if, upon petition of the corporation, the Public Utility Commission
shall, after a public hearing, decide that the present or proposed
situation of the building in question is reasonably necessary for
the convenience or welfare of the public.
