§ 8183-5.7.1. Notice of impending civil penalties.

Once a violation is confirmed, a notice of impending civil penalties shall be served upon a violator separately, or as a notice of violation. The notice of impending civil penalties shall:

(a)

State the violation(s);

(b)

State the range of the amount of the impending daily civil penalty per violation;

(c)

State the date by which the violation must be corrected, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of service of the notice; and

(d)

Advise that the civil penalties will begin accruing on a daily basis if the violation is not corrected by the date established in the notice.

If the Planning Director determines that a violation creates an immediate danger to health or safety, penalties may be imposed after a period of time that is less than thirty (30) days.

The date upon which the daily penalty will begin to accrue may be extended by the Planning Director upon a showing that the time frame allotted in the notice of impending civil penalties is not a reasonable period of time to correct the violation.
