A. Generally. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to those existing at law or equity. Each act in violation of this title and every day a violation of this title exists may be considered to constitute a separate violation.

B. Suspension or Revocation. The planning commission may suspend or revoke a permit whenever the approval granted is in error or is on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any provision of this code. Before taking any action to revoke or suspend a permit or variance, the planning commission shall give the permit owner and/or the owner of the property 20 days’ written notice by certified U.S. mail in advance of the date of hearing, of the subject of the hearing, and of the date, time, and place of the hearing. This notice is complete upon mailing. The planning commission shall thereafter hold the hearing at the time and place set forth in the notice. At the hearing, the permittee may present evidence on the permittee’s behalf and may cross-examine witnesses. The burden of proof is on the planning commission. After the hearing, the planning commission shall make written findings of fact from the evidence supporting the conclusion that the permittee has failed to comply with the conditions of the permit or variance (in cases were the permit or variance is revoked or suspended), or the permittee has not failed to comply with the conditions of the permit or variance (in cases were the permit or variance is not revoked or suspended). The findings shall be embodied in formal resolution that the planning commission shall retain permanently. After the variance or permit has been revoked or suspended, the permittee shall thereafter immediately discontinue the use of the property for which the permit or variance had originally been granted. If, after the a permit or variance has been revoked or suspended, the permittee does not immediately discontinue the use of the property for which the permit or variance had originally been granted, a civil penalty not to exceed $300.00 for each day of continuing violation may be imposed. The manager, on behalf of the borough, or the planning commission, may also apply to the superior court for an injunction to restrain the former permittee from using the land for the purposes previously authorized in the permit or variance.

C. Civil Remedies. Upon violation of any of the provisions of this title, or any of the conditions placed upon any permit issued pursuant hereto, the manager, on behalf of the borough or any aggrieved citizen, may institute or cause to be instituted any appropriate civil action to prevent, enjoin, abate, stop, remove or punish such violation and to obtain monetary damages suffered by such party. In addition to injunctive and compensatory relief, each violation shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000. An action to enjoin a violation of this title may be brought notwithstanding the availability of any other remedy. Upon application for injunctive relief and the finding of an existing or threatened violation, the court shall grant injunctive relief to restrain the violation. Each person violating the terms of this title shall be required to reimburse the municipality for administrative and legal costs commensurate with the activity relating to the violation.

D. Criminal Remedies. Every act where the maintenance of any condition prohibited by this title, or by any condition placed upon any permit issued pursuant hereto, is unlawful, and the willful commission of such act or maintenance of such condition is a misdemeanor. Every person convicted of a violation of any provision of this title or of any condition placed upon any permit issued pursuant hereto shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000. Each unlawful act or condition, and every day upon which such shall occur after date of notification, shall constitute a separate violation of this section.

E. Parties. A proper party for any enforcement action under subsection (B) of this section shall include, but shall not be limited to, the owner of the site or any part thereof; any lessee or occupant of the site or any part thereof; the developer, the developer’s agents, contractors and subcontractors, and employees who participate in, assist, commit, or maintain a violation.

F. Remedies Applicable to Subdivision Regulations. It is unlawful for any owner, lessee or agent to partition, sell, transfer, lease or offer or agree to partition, sell, lease or transfer any land which results in a subdivision as defined by this title before a final plat of the subdivision has been duly approved and recorded in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and state law. No person may file or record a subdivision plat in any public office unless the plat bears the signatures of the chair of the planning commission and the mayor. The borough may enjoin any partition, lease, transfer or sale of land that would result in an unlawful subdivision. Following an unlawful partition, transfer, lease or sale, the borough may enjoin any further transfer or sale of all unlawfully subdivided parcels until such time as the parcels are duly subdivided or returned to common ownership.
