      2.   New Uses: An application for a building permit shall include a certification by a licensed engineer, licensed architect, or scientific laboratory that the use involved in the application is able to meet all applicable performance standards to the extent that this can be judged based on the submitted building plans.
      3.   Existing Uses:
         a.   In enforcing performance standards on existing uses, the zoning administrator may issue a written notice of violation to an alleged violator.
         b.   The zoning administrator shall, before issuing such notice, make technical determinations of violation when such determinations can be made using equipment and trained personnel normally available to the village or obtainable without extraordinary expense.
         c.   In other cases, however, technical complexity or extraordinary expense makes it unreasonable for the village to maintain personnel or equipment for making determinations of violation prior to issuing a notice of violation. In such cases, a notice of violation may be issued when the zoning administrator has other reason to believe there is probable violation.
      4.   Notice Of Violation:
         a.   The zoning administrator shall give notice of violation by any means that ensures a signed receipt for such notice to the party responsible for the alleged violation.
         b.   The notice shall describe the alleged violation and the results of technical determinations or the other reasons why the zoning administrator believes there is a violation. The notice shall require either an answer or correction of the alleged violation to the satisfaction of the zoning administrator and within a time limit he or she shall specify in the notice.
         c.   The notice shall also state that failure to provide an answer or correct the alleged violation within this time limit shall constitute admission of a violation.
         d.   The notice shall further state that, if technical determinations have not already been made, upon request of the alleged violator, such determinations will be made. If a violation is found as a result of such determinations, the cost of the determinations will be assessed against the properties or parties responsible in addition to any other penalties provided. If no violation is found, the village will pay the cost of the determinations. (Ord. 99-02, 1-7-1999; amd. Ord. 2021-51, 6-24-2021)
