§ 222-7.11. Violations and penalties; enforcement.

A. 

Any violation of this chapter or the permit requirements or any falsification of any aspect of the application or the failure to pay any fee or reimbursement chargeable hereunder shall constitute grounds for imposition of any or all of the following penalties and remedies:

(1) 

Upon receipt of oral or written notice of any violation from the Township's authorized representative, the permittee shall cease to perform any further work in the permitted area except to restore the area to a safe condition. No further work shall commence in the permitted area until the violation has been remedied. Where the permittee has received oral notice of the violation, written notice shall be sent to the permittee within 10 days of receipt of the oral notice.

(2) 

The Township or its authorized representative may confiscate the applicant's permit.

(3) 

The Township may revoke the applicant's permit.

(4) 

The Township may block streets or driveways or sever, remove or block drainage facilities constructed without a permit or in violation of this chapter.

B. 

For any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the landowner or permittee of land where such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the landowner or permittee who commits, takes part in or assists in any such violation or who maintains any such building or land in which any such violation shall exist, shall, upon conviction before any tribunal having jurisdiction, be fined not less than $25 and not more than $500, and each day's continuance of the offense may constitute a new offense. All fines and penalties imposed by this chapter shall be recoverable by summary proceedings before any District Justice, and all fines and penalties so recovered shall be paid to the Township Treasurer for the general use of the Township. In default of payment of any fine or penalty imposed under the provisions of this chapter, the person or persons so offending shall be committed to the County Jail for a period of time not exceeding 60 days.

C. 

In addition to all other remedies, the Township may, through its Solicitor or other authorized representative, institute any appropriate action or proceeding at law or in equity to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such violation or to require the removal or termination of the unlawful driveway, or other alteration made by any owner or permittee.
