violations of the following chapters of the Code
and ordinances of the town as the same may be
amended from time to time:

(2) Chapter 10, Businesses, Professions and

(3) Chapter 18, Emergency Systems;

ulations;
(8) Chapter 52, Marine Facilities, Structures
and Places; and
(9) Chapter 66, Zoning.
(10) Chapter 70, Design Manual.
(b) The jurisdiction of the special master shall
not be exclusive. Any alleged violation of any of
the aforesaid codes and ordinances may be pur-
sued by appropriate remedy in the court at the
option of the administrative official bearing re-
sponsibility for enforcement of that respective
code or ordinance.
(Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14-98)
Sec. 2 -69. Enforcement procedure.
(a) An employee of the town who is duly au-
thorized by the town manager and responsible for
the enforcement of such ordinances, hereinafter
referred to as a "code enforcement officer," may
initiate code enforcement proceedings and issue
citations or notices of violation to a person or
persons to appear in front of the special master
§ 2 -69
when the code enforcement officer, upon personal
investigation, has reasonable cause to believe
that the person or persons are in violation of the
codes cited in this division. Employees who may
be designated as code enforcement officers may
include but are not limited to, code inspectors, law
enforcement officers, public works inspectors, fire
safety inspectors, and zoning inspectors.
(b) If a violation of the codes is found, the code
inspector shall notify the violator, unless subsec-
tion (c) below applies, and give such violator a
reasonable time, which shall not exceed 30 days,
to correct the violation. Should the violation con-
tinue beyond the time specified for correction, the
code inspector shall notify the special master and
request a hearing. The special master shall sched-
ule a hearing, and written notice of such hearing
shall be hand delivered or mailed as provided in
section 2 -75 to the violator. At the option of the
special master, notice may additionally be served
by publication or posting as provided in section
2 -75. If the violation is corrected and then recurs
or if the violation is not corrected by the time
specified for correction by the code inspector, the
case may be presented to the special master even
if the violation has been corrected prior to the
special master hearing, the notice shall so state.
(c) If a repeat violation is found, the code
inspector shall notify the violator but is not re-
quired to give the violator a reasonable time to
correct the violation. The code inspector, upon
notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall
notify the special master and request a hearing.
The special master shall schedule a hearing and
shall provide notice pursuant to section 2 -75. The
case may be presented to the special master even
if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to
the hearing, and the notice shall so state. If the
repeat violation has been corrected, the special
master retains the right to schedule a hearing to
determine costs and impose the payment of rea-
sonable enforcement fees upon the repeat viola-
tor. The repeat violator may choose to waive his or
her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as
determined by the special master. A repeat viola-
tion is a violation of a provision of a code or
ordinance by a person whom the special master
has previously found to have violated the same
provision within five years prior to the violation.

§ 2 -69
GULF STREAM CODE
(d) If the code inspector has reason to believe a
violation of the condition causing the violation
presents a serious threat to the public health,
safety, and welfare or if the violation is irrepara-
ble or irreversible in nature, the code inspector
shall make a reasonable effort to notify the viola-
tor and may immediately notify the special mas-
ter and request a hearing.
(Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98)
Sec. 2 -70. Conduct of hearings.
(a) At the hearing, the burden of proof shall be
upon the town to show by substantial competent
evidence that a violation did occur or does exist,
or has been repeated. Assuming proper notice of
hearing has been given to the respondent, either
as actual notice or as provided herein, a hearing
may proceed in the absence of the respondent.
(b) All testimony shall be under oath and shall
be recorded. The formal rules of evidence shall not
apply. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repeti-
tious evidence of a type commonly relied upon by
reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of
their affairs shall be admissible, whether or not
such evidence would be admissible at a trial in
the courts of the state. Documentary and physical
evidence may be admitted.
(c) The special master may inquire of any
witness who is testifying before him/her. The
respondent, or his attorney and the town attorney
and his/her designee shall be permitted to inquire
of any witness before the special master. The
special master may call any witness deemed nec-
essary to provide a full and fair hearing of the
case.
(d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe-
cial master shall issue findings of fact based on
evidence on the record and conclusions of law, and
shall issue an order affording the proper relief
consistent with the powers granted herein. The
order shall be stated orally at the meeting, and
shall be reduced to writing and mailed to the
alleged violator within ten working days after the
hearing. The order may include a notice that it
must be complied with by a specified date and

pounded unless paid within 30 days after

lution to be published by posting, or pub-
lication in a newspaper, as required by
