§ 2-28-35. Revocation, suspension and termination.

(a)

Both the right-of-way manager and any county code enforcement officer shall have the right to order a work site secured and closed until a proper permit copy is obtained and available on site. Persons or entities violating any site-securing order shall be in violation of this article and subject to maximum code enforcement fines and penalties allowed by law. The right-of-way manager is authorized to revoke or suspend the permit(s) of any permittee failing to assist in ensuring its agents refrain from working in or on any site closed and secured under this article.

(b)

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the right-of-way manager may revoke or suspend a permit at any time, or may demand immediate repair or restoration work for any violation of the requirements of this article or other ordinance, or for any condition within the permitted area which poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public. Where a permittee fails to adequately restore a site or otherwise fails to address site conditions posing a significant danger to the public health or safety, the county may also take all lawful measures, at its own initial expense, to affect the restoration or remediate the unsafe condition.

(c)

In the event a facility owner fails to initiate the work necessary to alleviate interference after receipt of written notice from the right-of-way manager pursuant to Section 337.403, Florida Statutes, the right-of-way manager may issue an order authorizing removal, relocation or both of the facility by the county.

(d)

An applicant's or permittee's failure to comply with provisions of this article shall constitute a violation of this article and shall subject the applicant or permittee to the penalties provided by this article and any other applicable law or regulation and revocation or suspension of the permit.

(e)

Upon termination of a permit, no further work may be performed.

(f)

Failure of the county or right-of-way manager to enforce any requirement of this article or of any permit on one or more occasions shall not constitute a waiver of the county's right to otherwise enforce that requirement or to seek compliance with that requirement.
