63.9 EXCEPTION/ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE 1. The Village may allow exception from the strict enforcement of the ordinance if an owner of property believes the requirements of the Ground Water Protection ordinance pose an unreasonable burden and if the owner submits in writing to the Village alternative means that comply with the intent of the provisions of the ordinance. The material, method or work offered must be, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this ordinance in effectiveness for the protection of ground water resources.

63.10 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 1. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this Ordinance, the Village may petition the appropriate court for injunctive relief restraining the person from activities that would create further violations or compelling the person to perform necessary abatement or remediation.

63.11 APPEALS Any person who has been cited for a violation of this chapter or has been ordered to take action to comply with the provisions of this chapter may appeal in writing to the village council of the Village of Muir not later than 30 days after the action or decision being appealed. Such appeal shall identify the matter being appealed and the basis for the appeal. The village council shall consider the appeal and decide whereby the action being appealed is affirmed, rejected or modified. In considering any such appeal, the village council may consider the recommendations of the authorized enforcement agency and the comments of other persons having knowledge or expertise regarding the matter. In considering any such appeal, the village council may grant a temporary variance from the terms of this chapter so as to provide relief, in whole or in part, from the action being appealed, but only upon finding that the following requirements are satisfied: a.

The application of the ordinance provisions being appealed will present or cause unnecessary hardship for the property or premises owner appealing; provided, however, that unnecessary hardship shall not include the need for a property or premises owner to incur additional reasonable expenses in order to comply with the part; and, b.

The granting of the relief requested will not prevent accomplishment of the goals and purposes of this chapter, nor result in less effective management of groundwater.

In order that the provisions of this article may be reasonably applied and substantial justice done in instances where unnecessary hardship would result from carrying out the strict letter of these sections, the village zoning board of appeals shall consider appeals from the decision of the village council and to determine, in particular cases, whether any deviation from strict enforcement will violate the intent of this article or jeopardize the public health or safety or environment.

Appeals from orders of the village council may be made at the zoning board of appeals of the Village of Muir, within 30 days from the date of any citation, order, charge, fee, surcharge, from the date of any citation, order, charge, fee, surcharge, penalty or other action. The appellant shall file a notice of appeal with the zoning board of appeals, specifying the grounds therefor. Prior to a hearing, the village council shall transmit to the zoning board of appeals a summary report of all previous action taken. The zoning board of appeals may, at its discretion, call upon the village council to explain the action. The final disposition of the appeal shall be in the form of a resolution, either reversing, modifying, or affirming, in whole or in part, the appealed decision or determination.

The decision of the zoning board of appeals shall be final, except that the board or the members thereof may be required, under proper mandamus proceedings, to show cause why certain actions were taken or decisions rendered.

All charges for service, penalties, fees, or surcharges outstanding during any appeal process shall be due and payable to the village. Upon resolution of any appeal, the village shall adjust such amounts accordingly.

If an appeal is not demanded within the periods specified in this section, the administrative action shall be deemed final. In the event of an appeal, action shall be suspended until a final determination has been made, except for immediate cease and desist orders or any emergency or judicial action.

Appeals from determinations of zoning board of appeals may be made to the circuit court for the county as provided by law. The appeals shall be governed procedurally by the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969 (MCL 24.201 et seq.). All findings of fact, if supported by the evidence, made by the board shall be conclusive upon the court. " 63.12 SEVERABILITY 1. If any provision, paragraph, work, section, or article of the ordinance from which this article is derived is invalidated by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, sections, and chapters shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 14. Effective Date This ordinance must be published and recorded as provided in the Village Charter and takes effect on the date of publication, but not less than twenty (20) days after its adoption by the Village Council.
