CHAPTER 2

Interpretation, Enforcement and Penalty

9-2-1. - Interpretation.

The provisions of this Title shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals, order, convenience, happiness, prosperity and general welfare. This Title is not intended to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; provided, however, that, wherever the provisions hereof impose a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings, or require larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other provisions of this Code, rules, regulations, permits, easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this Title shall govern.

9-2-2. - Enforcement.

This Title shall be enforced by the Board of Trustees or its authorized agents or representatives. No oversight or dereliction on the part of any official, employee or authorized agent of the Town shall legalize, authorize or excuse the violation of the provisions of this Title.

9-2-3. - Violation and penalty.

It shall be unlawful to build or use any building or structure or to use premises in this Town for any purpose or use other than one permitted by the terms of this Title in the area in which the same is located. The Town Attorney, upon request of the Board of Trustees, shall institute injunction, abatement or any other appropriate action to enjoin, abate or remove such violation. A separate and distinct offense shall be deemed committed upon each day that a violation is permitted to exist or continue. Any person, whether as principal, agent, employee or otherwise, who violates any of the provisions of this Title shall be guilty of a violation of this Title and shall be subject to the penalties provided in Section 1-4-1 of this Code.

9-2-4. - Other remedies.

The remedies set forth herein are cumulative. The initiation of any action or the imposition of any penalty under this Title shall not preclude the Town from instituting any other appropriate action or proceeding to require compliance with the provisions of this Title.
