No person, corporation, partnership or other form of legal entity,
their agents or subcontractors shall commence any construction, grading,
filling or other form of land disturbance, nor shall any use be commenced
in furtherance of any approved preliminary and/or final subdivision
or site plan unless a permit for the same shall have first been obtained
from the issuing authority, who shall be the Town Engineer.
The developer has made arrangements with the Chief of Police with
respect to traffic control and circulation considerations during construction
activities.
No such permit shall be issued unless, at least 10 days prior to
the date on which construction is proposed to commence, the applicant
shall have applied in writing on an application form provided by the
Board.
Such permit shall be valid for a period of one year from date of
issuance and shall automatically expire, by limitation, unless construction
pursuant thereto shall have been actually commenced within such period
and shall have been diligently pursued.
Any person, corporation, partnership or other form of legal entity
violating this article shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine
of $1,000 per day for any such violation, and each and every day such
violation continues shall be considered a separate and distinct violation,
or shall be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both.
In addition to the foregoing, the Town of Belvidere may apply to
the Superior Court for an injunction to prohibit the commencement
and/or continuation of such construction undertaken in violation of
this section.
