Administrator outlines code penalties and enforcement options after permitting error
Summary
Town Administrator Aiken reviewed possible enforcement steps and cited town-code sections covering failure to comply with approved drawings and fines ($200 first offense, $300 second; third could require court appearance), and said staff will consult the town attorney on ordinance wording.
During discussion of the second variance, Town Administrator Aiken summarized relevant enforcement language from the town code and the range of administrative responses available when approved drawings are not followed. "From 150DotO57B...failure to comply with approved drawing and specifications. So 1st offense...$200. 2nd offense is 300. And the 3rd is a is a court appearance," Aiken read into the record.
Aiken said staff had found a couple of technical issues in the ordinance and would review options with the town attorney before taking a final enforcement position. He also noted that the town can, at its sole discretion, issue warnings or pursue mandatory court appearances depending on the complexity of the violation. Council directed staff to follow up with the town attorney to clarify enforcement steps tied to the variances and alleged plan deviations.
