§ 13-16. Violations.

(a)

Revocation of Permit: Whenever any alleged violation of the terms of a grading exemption, determination of exemption, or a grading permit is brought to the attention of the director, he shall, after determining that a violation does exist, either give the permittee a written notice to comply within ten (10) days, or, where continuation of the violation may adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare, give the permittee written notice of suspension of the exemption, determination of exemption, or permit and operations thereunder. Said notices shall be personally served or sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be effective on the date of the personal service or mailing thereof. If the permittee does not comply with such a notice to comply within thirty (30) days or if the permittee has been given a notice of suspension, the director shall request the question of the revocation of the exemption, determination of exemption, or grading permit to be placed on the agenda of the next regular planning commission meeting. Any exemption, determination of exemption, or grading permit may be revoked or modified by the planning commission in the same manner as specified for use permits in section 24-45.65 of this Code.

(b)

Public Nuisance: Any grading in violation of the terms of this article or any permit issued hereunder is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and may be abated in the manner provided by law.

(c)

Remedies Cumulative: The remedies provided in this article are cumulative and not exclusive. Nothing in this article bars any legal, equitable, administrative or summary remedy to which any aggrieved public agency, person, firm, corporation or partnership may otherwise be entitled.
