§ 193-7. Inspections; permit revocation or modification; appeals.

A. 

Inspection. Because of the compelling and overriding public safety issues involved in the handling and use of explosives, the Building Inspector, Village Engineer, Fire Chief, Code Enforcement Officer or any member of the Police Department may inspect any vehicle, structure, dwelling, construction site, workplace or other area where explosives are manufactured, sold, possessed, stored or used within the Village for the limited purpose of ascertaining and verifying compliance with this chapter.

B. 

Permit revocation. The Building Inspector may, on his own initiative or at the request of any other official, revoke or modify a permit issued pursuant to this chapter where it appears the permit holder has violated any local, state or federal rule or regulation, including but not limited to a false statement or representation on the application for a blasting permit or violation of any applicable safety standard or where the Building Inspector determines that public safety has been compromised. The Building Inspector may modify or revoke a permit by notifying the permit holder or his representative, orally or in writing, that the permit has been modified or revoked. Where a permit has been revoked, the Building Inspector shall send a written notice of revocation to the permit holder by first class mail without unnecessary delay, but not later than five working days after revocation, setting forth the reasons the permit was revoked. The notice of revocation shall include a statement informing the permit holder of his right to appeal such revocation by filing a notice of appeal with the Village Clerk within 20 working days. Where a permit is modified, the Building Inspector shall give the permit holder written notice of the modifications.

C. 

Appeals. A permit holder who has had his permit revoked or modified by the Building Inspector may appeal and seek relief from the modifications or reinstatement of the permit. An appeal pursuant to this section shall be heard by the Chief of Police, the Village Engineer and the Fire Chief, or any of their deputies, sitting as a board of appeals. The Building Inspector shall appear and state his findings and the reasons for revoking or modifying the permit. The permit holder and/or the blaster shall be offered the opportunity to appear and present evidence why the permit should not be modified or revoked. The appeal board may sustain the Building Inspector's decision to revoke a permit, reinstate any permit or amend any modifications imposed by the Building Inspector. Where the board reinstates a permit, the board may amend the permit by adding whatever terms and conditions it deems necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare. The decision of the appeal panel shall be final.
