§ 9-101 Enforcement Procedures.

A. 
The provisions of these regulations shall be enforced by the Village Manager. In addition to other remedies provided by these regulations and other applicable laws, the Village Manager shall, when a violation has been determined to exist:

2. 
Inform the violator that no further work under an existing approval may proceed until the violation has been corrected.

In the event that a violator has been previously determined to have violated a provision of these regulations within the prior five years, the Development Services Director may require that the violator implement appropriate mitigation measures for the site where the violation was committed. Such measures may include installation of landscaping and requirements for posting a performance guarantee acceptable to the Village such as cash bond, letter of credit or, at the discretion and approval of the Board of Trustees, other security methods to ensure compliance with the order of the Development Services Director.
