MEMORANDUM
TO: TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: TOWN ATTORNEY
RE: ORDINANCE MAKING VIOLATION OF CONDITIONS
OF A BUILDING PERMIT A VIOLATION OF THE TOWN
CODE
DATE: July 11, 2006
This ordinance is before Council on second reading. No changes were made at time
of first reading
Some time ago Council gave direction that the Town be given the ability to assess
liquidated damages against landowners when they violate agreements with the Town. Since then a
variety of ways to accomplish that goal have been explored. The ordinances of other municipalities
have been reviewed.
It has been concluded that the most effective way to enforce agreements with
landowners is to condition building permits on, among other things, compliance with agreements
with the Town and to red-tag the permitted improvements when an agreement is violated. It is our
experience that stopping work on a project most effectively cures the violation. Doing that, of
course, does not result in the assessment of a penalty. The ordinance placed on the agenda for first
reading will accomplish that purpose.
