The purpose of this chapter is to establish penalties for violations of the Town's zoning regulations, inland wetland regulations and aquifer protection area regulations for Level A mapped areas, establish procedure for issuance of citations to violators and for collections of fines and to have the Town's citation hearing procedure (Chapter
91 of the Town Code) apply to citations hereunder issued.
The Town's Enforcement Officer or agent is authorized to issue cease and desist orders or other appropriate orders to a violator of the Town's zoning regulations, inland wetland and watercourses regulations, aquifer protection area regulations for Level A mapped areas or of any approval or permit issued by the Town Plan and Zoning Commission, Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency or Aquifer Protection Agency. If such violation has not been remedied either immediately or within 10 days of the date of issuance of the cease and desist order or other appropriate order, as provided in the order, the Enforcement Officer, or such other Town official or employee designated by the Town Manager to issue citations, unless such time has been extended for good cause by the Enforcement Officer, shall issue a citation to the violator which shall invoke the Town's citation hearing procedure set forth in Chapter
91 of the Town Code. However, in the case where a violation is found by the Enforcement Officer or agent to be willful, penalties may be assessed from the date such violation has been committed.
The procedure to be followed with respect to all citations issued under this chapter shall be the citation hearing procedure set forth in Chapter
91 of the Farmington Code.
