B. 
In addition to the remedy or remedies hereinbefore provided, any person, persons, company or corporation violating this chapter or any provision or section thereof may be proceeded against by the Village or by the Zoning Enforcement Officer of the Village of Mount Morris or by the owner of any property in the Village by appropriate action or by proceeding in equity or otherwise to prevent and enjoin any threatened violation of this chapter.

A violation of these zoning provisions is hereby declared to be an offense, punishable by a fine not exceeding $350 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed six months, or both, for conviction of a first offense; for conviction of a second offense both of which were committed within a period of five years, punishable by a fine not less than $350 nor more than $700 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed six months, or both; and, upon conviction for a third or subsequent offense, all of which were committed within a period of five years, punishable by a fine not less than $700 nor more than $1,000 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed six months, or both. However, for the purpose of conferring jurisdiction upon courts and judicial officers generally, violations of such zoning provisions shall be deemed misdemeanors and for such purpose only all provisions of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to such violations. Each week's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
The duty of administering and enforcing the provisions of this chapter is hereby conferred upon the Zoning Enforcement Officer, who shall have such powers as are conferred upon him by this chapter and as reasonably may be implied. He shall be appointed by the Village Board and shall receive such compensation as the Village Board shall determine.

It shall be the duty of the Zoning Enforcement Officer, or his duly authorized assistants, to cause any plans, buildings or premises to be examined or inspected to determine that they are not in violation of the provisions of this chapter.
B. 
Where the Zoning Enforcement Officer, in the course of his duties, determines that any plans, buildings or premises are in violation of the provisions of this chapter, he shall order the responsible party in writing to remedy such conditions. Said written order shall specify the nature of the violation found to exist, the remedy ordered and the time permitted for such action, the penalties and remedies which may be invoked by the Village and the violator's rights of appeal, all as provided by this chapter.
C. 
On the serving of notice by the Zoning Enforcement Officer to the owner of any violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the certificate of occupancy for such building or use shall be held null and void.

The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall maintain a permanent record of all matters considered and all action taken by him. Such records shall form a part of the records of his office and shall be available for the use of the Village Board and other officials of the Village.
The certificates and permits enumerated herein are hereby established for the equitable enforcement and administration of the provisions of this chapter. A zoning permit, temporary use permit or special use permit shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of a building permit as prescribed by the Building Code.
A. 
Zoning permit. The Zoning Enforcement Officer is hereby empowered to issue a zoning permit for any plans regarding the construction or alteration of any building or part of any building, or the change in the use of any land or building or part thereof, where he shall determine that such plans are not in violation of the provisions of this chapter. A zoning permit shall be valid for one year from issuance.
B. 
Special use permit. Upon written direction of the Board of Appeals, the Zoning Enforcement Officer is hereby empowered to issue any special use permit provided for by this chapter. A special use permit shall be valid for one year from issuance.
C. 
Certificate of occupancy. The Zoning Enforcement Officer is hereby empowered to issue a certificate of occupancy which shall certify that all provisions of this chapter have been complied with in respect to the location and use of the building, structure or premises in question.
A. 
All applications for zoning permits shall be made to the Zoning Enforcement Officer in the detail specified in § 232-54 of this chapter. The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall carefully consider the application and supporting documents for compliance with this chapter and submit within five days his findings along with one copy of such plans to the Planning Board for their review and recommendations. The Planning Board shall determine that the proposed site plan and structures will compare favorably with community standards, other neighborhood improvements and the properly intended and planned appearance throughout any street or neighborhood.
B. 
The Planning Board shall, within 10 days after receipt of said material, submit its recommendations in writing to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall then either approve or deny the application after taking the Planning Board's recommendation into consideration. The absence of reply from the Planning Board within 10 days shall constitute approval and the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall proceed on the basis of such approval.
A. 
All applications for special use permits shall be made to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The Zoning Enforcement Officer, after determining that an application is in proper form, shall transmit one copy of the application and all supporting documents to the Secretary of the Board of Appeals for referral to the Board for action thereon. Where applicable under § 239-m of the General Municipal Law, he shall also transmit one copy to the Livingston County Planning Board. The Board of Appeals shall conduct a public hearing on applications referred to it by the Zoning Enforcement Officer in accordance with the procedures and requirements established elsewhere in this chapter. Within 60 days from the date of the public hearing, the Board of Appeals shall by resolution either approve or disapprove the application so heard. In approving the application, the Board may impose only those modifications or conditions specified in this chapter to protect the health, safety or general welfare of the public.
(1) 
If an application is approved by the Board of Appeals, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall be furnished with a copy of the approving resolution of the Board and he shall issue the permit applied for in accordance with the conditions imposed by the Board of Appeals.
(2) 
If any application is disapproved by the Board of Appeals, the reasons for such denial shall be set forth in the Board's resolution and a copy of such resolution shall be transmitted to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall deny the application accordingly by providing the applicant with a copy of the Board's reasons for disapproval.
(3) 
The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall transmit one copy of all approved or denied applications to the Town Tax Assessor and, where applicable, one copy to the County Planning Board.
B. 
Special permits relative to highway safety. In considering an application for a special permitted use, the Board of Appeals shall take into account the impact that such a use (and possible subsequent uses) will have on the ability of the abutting highway to carry vehicular traffic safely and efficiently. This should entail obtaining an up-to-date traffic count of the highway at or near this point, and consultation with the New York State Department of Transportation and/or County Highway Superintendent. Should the Board of Appeals ascertain that the proposed use, or the precedent that would be set by issuance of the special permit, would have a significant impact on the safety and efficiency of the abutting highway, the Board may, among other things and where conditions are appropriate, require that the proposed use be limited to an internal street for direct ingress and egress to and from the property in lieu of direct access to the abutting highway.
Following the completion of the construction, reconstruction or alteration of any building, or where a change in the use of a structure is proposed, the applicant shall transmit by registered mail to the Zoning Enforcement Officer a letter stating that such construction has been completed or that a new use has been proposed. Within seven days of the receipt of this letter, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall make all necessary inspections of the completed structure and proposed use to determine the conformance with this chapter. A certificate of occupancy shall be issued only if the Zoning Enforcement Officer finds that the construction and proposed use comply with all the requirements and provisions of this chapter.
A. 
Each application for a zoning permit, temporary use permit or special use permit shall be made in triplicate and with accompanying site plan. The materials to be submitted with each application shall clearly show the conditions of the site at the time of the application, the features of the site which are to be incorporated into the proposed use or building and the appearance and function of the proposed use or building. As a minimum, the application shall include the following information and plans for both before and after conditions:
(1) 
The location, use, design and dimensions and height of each use and building.
(2) 
The location and arrangement of vehicular accessways, and the location, size and capacity of all areas used for off-street parking, loading and unloading.
(3) 
The location and dimensions of sidewalks, walkways and other areas established for pedestrian use.
(4) 
The design and treatment of open areas, buffer areas and screening devices maintained, including dimensions of all areas devoted to lawns, trees and other landscaping devices.
(5) 
Provisions for water supply, sewage disposal and storm drainage.
(6) 
Such other data and plans as the Zoning Enforcement Officer or the Board of Appeals may require to properly take action on the application.
B. 
Each application for a temporary structure permit shall include the information in Subsection A(1) through above, as applicable.
Each application for a permit provided for by this article shall be accompanied by a fee, payable in cash or other form of security, approved by the Village Attorney, in accordance with the fee schedule set forth from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
