At least ten days' notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. The board shall refuse a permit where the land of the applicant within the mapped highway is already earning a fair return, or where he is in no way injured by placing his building outside of the mapped highway.
Whoever shall construct or begin the construction of such a building without a permit shall forfeit and pay a penalty of not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each day that work on such structure continues. The county may bring an action to enjoin such construction and may also recover the penalty by a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction.
