Fees and Penalties
§ 205-22.1 Development agreement and reimbursement of development expenses.
[Added 9-22-2015 by Ord. No. 757]
A.
Development agreement. Before issuance of any required permit, the Village shall require a developer to enter into a written development agreement with the Village to install any required improvements and comply with development requirements and to file a bond, letter of credit, or cash deposit in an amount determined by the Village as a guarantee of the performance of the developer's obligations under the development agreement.
B.
Reimbursement of Village expenses. The Village Planner, Village Engineer, Village Attorney, and other Village staff may expend time in the investigation, reviewing and processing of permit applications and development plans. The Village may also utilize the services of professionals that it deems necessary or appropriate to advise and assist Village staff, the Plan Commission, and the Village Board regarding a development, including, but not limited to, engineers, on-site inspectors, landscape architects, architects, attorneys, environmental specialists, and recreational specialists. A developer shall reimburse the Village for staff time and professional service fees and costs incurred by the Village in the administration, investigation and processing of applications and inspection and oversight of the development. The Village Board shall require that the estimated costs for staff time and professional services be included in the bond, letter of credit, or cash deposit to be provided by the developer to the Village unless the Village determines that inclusion is not necessary because such costs are nominal.
§ 205-23 Permit fees.
All persons, firms, or corporations performing work which, by this chapter, requires the issuance of a permit, or making an application or petition under this chapter shall pay a fee to the Village Treasurer to help defray the cost of administration, investigation, advertising, and processing. The fees shall be as set by resolution of the Village Board.
§ 205-24 Triple fee.
A triple fee shall be charged by the Building Inspector if work is started before a permit is applied for and issued. Such triple fee shall not release the applicant from full compliance with this chapter nor from prosecution for violation of this chapter.
§ 205-25 Violations.
It shall be unlawful to construct or use any structure, land or water in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. Failure to secure the necessary permits prior to commencing construction shall also constitute a violation. In case of any violation, the Village Board, the Building Inspector, the Village Plan Commission, or any property owner who would be specifically damaged by such a violation may institute appropriate action or proceedings to enjoin a violation of this chapter.
§ 205-26 Remedial action.
[Amended 9-3-2013 by Ord. No. 740; 10-7-2014 by Ord. No. 751]
Whenever an order of the Zoning Administrator, Building Inspector, Public Works Superintendent, or their designees has not been complied with within 30 days after written notice has been mailed to the owner, resident agent, or occupant of the premises, the Village Board may instruct the Village of Saukville Police Department and/or Village Attorney to institute appropriate legal action or proceedings to prohibit such owner, agent, or occupant from using such land or structure, or compel their compliance.
§ 205-27 Penalties.
Any person, firm, or corporation that fails to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any order issued in accordance with this chapter or resists enforcement shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 and costs of prosecution for each violation, and in default of payment of such forfeiture and costs, shall be imprisoned in the County Jail until payment thereof, but not exceeding 30 days. Each day a violation exists or continues shall constitute a separate offense.
