Chapter 15.60 FLOOD HAZARD PROTECTION REGULATIONS
Section 15.60.110 Violation--Penalty.
Failure to obtain a permit for development in the SFHA or
failure to comply with the
requirements of a permit or conditions of a variance resolution shall be deemed to be a violation
of this chapter. Upon due investigation the building inspector may determine that a violation of
the minimum standards of this chapter exist. The building inspector shall notify the owner in
writing of such violation.
A. If such owner fails after ten days
notice to correct the violation:
1. The city may make application to
the Circuit Court for an injunction requiring
conformance with this chapter or make such other order as the court deems necessary to secure
compliance with the chapter.
2. Any person who violates this chapter
shall upon conviction thereof be fined not less than
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) nor more than two hundred dollars ($200.00).
3. A separate offense shall be deemed
committed upon each day during or on which a
violation occurs or continues.
B. The building inspector shall inform
the owner that any such violation is considered a
wilful act to increase flood damages and therefore may cause coverage by a Standard Flood
Insurance Policy to be suspended.
C. Nothing herein shall prevent the
city from taking such other lawful action to prevent or
remedy any violations. All costs connected therewith shall accrue to the person or persons
responsible. (Ord. 819 § 11, 1990)
