(Code 1959, § 24.12A.13; Ord. No. 4512, 4-15-2003)

(a)

When a new or altered commercial or industrial use of an occupancy is proposed that may, in the opinion of the building and zoning director, involve a possible violation of the regulations of this article, the building and zoning director shall, as a condition precedent to issuing a permit for such use or occupancy, require the deposit in escrow of $500.00 for a period of one year from the date of the new or altered use or occupancy. If, during such one-year period, the building and zoning director believes there is a reasonable probability that the regulations of this article are being violated, he may employ a qualified technician to perform investigations, measurements and analyses to determine whether or not the regulations of this article are being violated and may pay the technician's reasonable fees out of the escrow deposit, regardless of the outcome of the investigation. If the reasonable fees of such technician exceed the amount of any available escrow deposit, and if a violation of this article is discovered, the fees may be recovered as a penalty in the same manner as, and in addition to, the penalties specified in section 98-8. Escrow deposits or remainders thereof shall be returned to the depositors at the expiration of the escrow period.

(b)

Whenever, in the opinion of the building and zoning director, there is a reasonable probability that any use or occupancy violates the regulations of this article, he is hereby empowered to employ a qualified technician to perform investigations, measurements and analyses to determine whether or not the regulations of this article are being violated. If a violation is found to exist, the violator shall be liable for the reasonable fees of the technician employed to perform such investigations, measurements and analyses. When no escrow deposit is available, such fees may be recovered as a penalty in the same manner as, and in addition to, the penalties specified in section 98-8.

(c)

If a complaint is received regarding an alleged violation of any of the regulations of this article, and the building and zoning director does not believe that there is a reasonable probability that such a violation actually exists, the building and zoning director may, as a condition precedent to further investigation, require that the complainant post an escrow deposit with the village collector in the amount of $200.00 to defray the cost of employing a qualified technician to perform such investigations, measurements and analyses as may be necessary to determine whether or not such violation exists. If the complaint is substantiated, the escrow deposit shall be refunded to the depositor, and the reasonable fees incurred in retaining the qualified technician shall be recovered in the manner provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this section. If the complaint proves unfounded, such fees shall be paid from the complainant's escrow deposit, any remainder of such deposit shall be refunded to the complainant.

(d)

In addition to the procedures specified in this section, the regulations of this article may also be enforced in the same ways as other provisions of this chapter.
