The Commission is specifically authorized to grant, deny, or limit any permit for a regulated activity. The Commission may grant an application as filed or grant it upon such terms, conditions, limitations, or modification of the regulated activity as it may deem necessary to carry out the policy of the Inland Wetlands Act.
The applicant shall be notified of the Commission's decision to grant or deny, suspend or revoke a permit by certified mail within fifteen (15) days of the date of a final decision.
Within 15 days of the decision, the Commission shall cause notice of the order of issuance or denial, suspension, or revocation of a permit to be published in the form of a legal notice in a daily newspaper having a general circulation in the Town of Griswold. In any case in which such notice is not published within the fifteen-day period, the applicant may provide for the publication of such notice within 10 days thereafter.
In granting a permit, granting a permit with conditions, denying a permit, or suspending or revoking a permit, the Commission shall issue a written opinion presenting the reasons for its action. These reasons shall become part of the records of the Commission.
A. 
The Commission may suspend or revoke a permit if it finds that:
(1) 
The applicant has not complied with the conditions or limitations set forth in the permit;
(2) 
The applicant has exceeded the scope of the work;
(3) 
The activity for which the permit was issued has had a more severe impact on the inland wetland or watercourse; or
(4) 
The activity does not involve a permitted use.
B. 
Such suspension shall occur after giving notice to the permittee of the facts or conduct which warrants such action, and after a hearing at which the permittee is given an opportunity to show compliance with the requirements for retention of the permit.
Any permit issued under this chapter for the development of property for which an approval is required under Section 8-3, 8-25 or 8-26 of the Connecticut General Statutes shall be valid for five years, provided the Commission may establish a specific time period within which any regulated activity shall be conducted. Any permit issued under this chapter for any other activity shall be valid for not less than two years and not more than five years. Any such permit shall be renewed upon request of the permit holder unless the Commission finds that there has been a substantial change in circumstances which requires a new permit application or an enforcement action has been undertaken with regard to the regulated activity for which the permit was issued, provided no permit may be valid for more than 10 years.
