of a properly filed application for a permit, issuance of a written
notice of violation, or an alleged failure to properly enforce the
Ordinance in regard to a specific application, shall have the right
to appeal the action to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The appeal shall
be filed in writing within 30 days of the date of official transmittal
of the final decision or determination to the applicant, state clearly
the grounds on which the appeal is based, and be processed in the
manner prescribed for hearing administrative appeals under Board of
Zoning Appeals rules of procedure.
If any portion of this chapter is held invalid or unconstitutional
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. It is the
intent of the Town that this chapter shall stand, even if a section,
subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion may be found invalid.
Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this chapter
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall
be subject to a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding
one year, or both, for each violation, with costs imposed in the discretion
of the court, and not to exceed $50,000. Each day that a violation
continues shall be a separate offense. In addition, the Town may institute
injunctive, mandamus or other appropriate action or proceedings of
law to correct violations of this chapter. Any court of competent
jurisdiction shall have the right to issue temporary or permanent
restraining orders, injunctions or mandamus, or other appropriate
forms of relief.
