§ 10.1. Violations

A.

It shall be deemed unlawful to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter, maintain, expand, move or use any building, structure or sign or engage in development or subdivision of land contrary to the provisions of this Ordinance. Whenever, by the provisions of this Ordinance, the performance of any act is required, or the performance of any act is prohibited, or whenever any regulation or limitation is imposed on the use of land and water, or on the erection of a structure, a failure to comply with such provision(s) shall constitute a violation of this Ordinance.

2.

To subdivide land in violation of this Ordinance or transfer or sell land by reference to, exhibition of or any other use of an unapproved plat. The description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring land does not exempt the transaction from being deemed as a violation.
