An investigation of an artificial obstruction or nonconforming use within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area may be made either on the initiative of the Flood Plain Administrator or on the written request of three titleholders of land which may be affected by the activity within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area. The names and addresses of the persons requesting the investigations shall be released if requested.
(Ord. 895, 10-9-2012)
The Flood Plain Administrator may make reasonable entry upon any lands and waters for the purpose of making an investigation, inspection or survey to verify compliance with these regulations.
1. 
The Flood Plain Administrator shall provide notice of entry by mail, electronic mail, phone call, personal delivery to the owner, owner's agent, lessee, or lessee's agent whose lands will be entered.
2. 
If none of these persons can be found, the Flood Plain Administrator shall affix a copy of the notice to one or more conspicuous places on the property for five days.
3. 
If the owners do not respond, cannot be located or refuse entry to the Flood Plain Administrator, the Flood Plain Administrator may only enter the property through a search warrant.
(Ord. 895, 10-9-2012)
When the Flood Plain Administrator determines that a violation may have occurred, the Flood Plain Administrator may issue written notice to the owner or an agent of the owner, either personally or by certified mail. Such notice shall cite the regulatory offense and include an order to take corrective action within a reasonable time or respond requesting an administrative review.
(Ord. 895, 10-9-2012)
The order is final, unless within five working days or any granted extension, after the order is received, the owner submits a written request for an administrative review before the Flood Plain Administrator. A request for an administrative review does not stay the order.
(Ord. 895, 10-9-2012)
Within 10 working days or any granted extension of receipt of the Red Lodge Flood Plain Administrator's decision concluding the administrative review, the property owner or owner's agent may appeal the decision to the Board.
(Ord. 895, 10-9-2012)
This article does not prevent efforts to obtain voluntary compliance through warning, conference, or any other appropriate means. Action under this article shall not bar enforcement of these regulations by injunction or other appropriate remedy.
