Review proposed Deposit & Forfeiture - Storm Water Ordinance - Brian Turk was present to
stnd
discuss the proposed Storm Water Management violation fee scale. 1 offense - $100.00, 2
strdstth
offense within 1 year of 1 - $200.00, 3 offense within 1 year of 1 - $300.00 and 4 and
subsequent offenses(s) $500.00. Brian explained that the escalating scale is recommended due to
the serious affect that non-compliance can have on abutting as well as downstream properties and
the community’s environment as a whole. Ald. Salentine moved to approve the proposed Deposit
& Forfeiture Schedule as presented. Seconded by Ald. Sanders. Carried by all.
Review proposed Deposit & Forfeiture - Zoning Ordinance - Brian Turk stated that the Plan
Commission includes a penalty provision in all resolutions which grant Business, Site and Operation
plan approvals. These provisions call for $100.00 per day penalties for violations. The adopted
forfeiture schedule for zoning violations indicates a $60.00 per day penalty. In order to rectify the
discrepancy, Brian recommends that the Zoning Ordinance Violations (Chapter 17 - Zoning
Ordinance) be changed to $100.00 per day also. Ald. Salentine moved to approve the
amendment to the forfeiture schedule to change Zoning Ordinance Violations to $100.00 per
day. Seconded by Ald. Sanders. Carried by all.
