3) The Code Enforcement Officer may y impose
  imp  additional reasonable conditions to
  prevent a recurrence, including but not limited to reduced occupancy, quiet hours,
  parking plans, security, and submission of a management plan.

. Permit suspension and revocation
  (1) Upon two or more substantiated nuisance violations within any twelve-month period,
  the Code Enforcement Officer may suspend the Short-Term Rental permit for a
  period not to exceed thirty days. Upon three or more substantiated nuisance violations
  within any twelve-month period, the Code Enforcement Officer may revoke the
  permit for a period not to exceed one year.

 (2) For egregious conduct that presents an immediate threat to public health, safety, or
  welfare, the Code Enforcement Officer may order an interim suspension effective
  upon service of notice, pending a prompt hearing.

 (3) Prior to any suspension or revocation that is not interim, the Code Enforcement
  Officer shall provide written notice of intent to suspend or revoke, stating the
  grounds, the proposed action, and the right to a hearing. The owner shall have ten
  business days to request a hearing. If a hearing is requested, the Town shall schedule
  it within thirty days before a designated hearing officer or other body as provided by
  Town law. A written decision shall issue within fifteen days after the close of the
  hearing.

  (4) An owner aggrieved by a suspension or revocation may appeal to the Town Board
  within fifteen days of the decision. The filing of an appeal does not stay an interim
  suspension unless the Town Board so orders.

  (5) Failure to comply with imposed conditions is independent grounds for suspension or
  revocation.

. Reinstatement. Following suspension or revocation, a permit may be reinstated upon
  written request to the Code Enforcement Officer demonstrating correction of violations,
  payment of all outstanding fines and fees, and submission of an acceptable management
  plan that addresses nuisance prevention and response.

  Evidence. A violation may be substantiated by any reliable evidence including officer
  observations, Code Enforcement Officer inspection, calibrated sound readings, time
  stamped video or audio recordings, sworn neighbor statements, or other credible
  documentation.
