Shortly after that, I was contacted by your representative, Tim Diamond, who stated that within the week he would be making application for a redevelopment review process for this property. We did not continue on with the violation process due to this information. To date--there:.has :)been no application submitted and the violations have not been corrected.

This is to be considered official notice to correct these violations within 10 days.

(a) An employee of the town who is duly au- thorized by the town manager and responsible for the enforcement of such ordinances, hereinafter referred to as a "code enforcement officer," may initiate code enforcement proceedings and issue citations or notices of violation to a person or persons to appear in front of the special master when the code enforcement officer, upon personal investigation, has reasonable cause to believe that the person or persons are in violation of the codes cited in this division. Employees who may be designated as code enforcement officers may include but are not limited to, code inspectors, law enforcement officers, public works inspectors, fire safety inspectors, and zoning inspectors. (b) if a violation of the codes is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator, unless subsec- tion (c) below applies, and give such violator a reasonable time, which shall not exceed 30 days, to correct the violation. Should the violation con- tinue beyond the time specified for correction, the code inspector shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall sched- ule a hearing, and written notice of such hearing shall be hand delivered or mailed as provided in section 2 -75 to the violator. At the option of the special master, notice may additionally be served by publication or posting as provided in section 2 -75.

The repeat violator may choose to waive his or her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as determined by the special master.

Assuming proper notice of hearing has been given to the respondent, either as actual notice or as provided herein, a hearing may proceed in the absence of the respondent. (b) All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. The formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repeti- tious evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible, whether or not such evidence would be admissible at a trial in the courts of the state. Documentary and physical evidence may be admitted. (c) The special master may inquire of any witness who is testifying before him/her. The respondent, or his attorney and the town attorney and his/her designee shall be permitted to inquire of any witness before the special master.

(2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses to his/her hearings. (3) Subpoena evidence as necessary for his/ her hearings, including, but not limited to physical and documentary evidence such as records, surveys, plats and photo- graphs. (4) Take testimony under oath. (5) Issue orders having the force and effect of law which can command whatever steps are necessary to bring a violation into compliance, such decision to be made at the hearing and reduced to writing and mailed to the respondent(s) within ten working days thereafter. (6) Establish and enforce fines pursuant to section 2 -72. (7) Authorize the town attorney to foreclose on liens imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 which remain unpaid after a period of three months. (8) Authorize the reduction of any fine he/she has imposed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -72. Administrative fines, costs of re. pair; liens. (a) The special master, upon notification by the code inspector that an order of the special master has not been complied with by the set time or, upon finding that a repeat violation has been committed, may order the violator to pay a fine in an amount specified in this section for each day the violation continues past the date set by the special master for compliance or, in the case of a repeat violation, for each day the repeat violation continues, beginning with the date the repeat violation is found to have occurred by the special master. In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special master shall notify the local governing CD2:6 body, which may make all reasonable repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the rea- sonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If, after due notice and hearing, a special master finds a violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may order the violator to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b), below. (b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first viola- tion, and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a), above.

(c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special master shall consider the follow- ing factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor- rect the violation; and (3) Any previous violations committed by the violator. (d) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public record and thereaf- ter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order may be enforced in the same manner as a court judg- ment by the sheriffs of this state, including levy against the personal property, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursu- ant to this section shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until a judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of the town and the town may execute a satisfaction or re- lease of a lien entered pursuant to this section. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the town may authorize the town attorney to foreclose on the lien.

The town shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The contin- uation of the lien effected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of lis pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special master to the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the special master. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execu- tion of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -75. Notices.

(d) Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided in this section, together with proof of publication or post- ing as provided in this section shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this section have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator actually received such notice. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -76. Procedure to request that a fine or lien imposed pursuant to sec- tion 2 -72 be reduced; conditions and criteria therefor.

(2) The applicant is not personally indebted to the town for any reason. (3) All town code violations have been cor- rected under necessary permits issued therefor. § 2-76 GULF STREAM CODE (b) In considering an application to reduce a fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72, no satisfaction thereof shall be approved by the spe- cial master with less than full payment thereof, unless the special master shall make a specific finding that no violation of any ordinance de- scribed in section 2 -68 of this Code exists on the subject real property. (c) The balance of any fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 that is reduced by the special master shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special master. (d) if the property for which an application for a fine reduction is being considered is owned by a government or quasi - government entity, the spe- cial master may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -77. Provisions supplemental and cu- mulative. Nothing contained in this division shall in any way bar or prohibit the maintenance of a suit at law or in equity by the town to enjoin or correct any violation of the ordinances of the town, nor to bar or prohibit the town from filing charges against any person, firm or corporation violating any town ordinance as provided by existing laws. This division shall be construed to be supplemental and cumulative with any and all other remedies available to the town and not exclusive. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -78. Alternative code enforcement pro- cedures. The town may employ other methods of code enforcement including, but not limited to, the issuance of a notice to appear in county court or arrest for violation of municipal ordinances as provided for in F.S. ch. 901.

County Road, Gulf Stream, FL Dear Mr. Condon and Mr. Coon: We have spoken from time to time regarding the unsanitary condition of the swimming pool at 4110 N. County Road. You did empty the pool several months ago. However, inasmuch as you have had the electric service and water service disconnected, the pool does not operate but does accumulate rain water which then becomes stagnant. In addition to the problem with the pool, the property has become overgrown with vines and weeds with the overgrowth even overtaking the driveway and encroaching onto neighboring properties. These are violations of Article II., Unsightly, Unsafe or Unsanitary Conditions, Paragraphs (2), (3), (8)and (15), a copy of which is attached. This is to be considered official notice to correct these violations within 10 days. Failing to comply with this order shall result in further action as provided in Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2, (Code Enforcement) of the Code of Ordinances.

(a) An employee of the town who is duly au- thorized by the town manager and responsible for the enforcement of such ordinances, hereinafter referred to as a "code enforcement officer," may initiate code enforcement proceedings and issue citations or notices of violation to a person or persons to appear in front of the special master when the code enforcement officer, upon personal investigation, has reasonable cause to believe that the person or persons are in violation of the codes cited in this division. Employees who may be designated as code enforcement officers may include but are not limited to, code inspectors, law enforcement officers, public works inspectors, fire safety inspectors, and zoning inspectors. (b) If a violation of the codes is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator, unless subsec- tion (c) below applies, and give such violator a reasonable time, which shall not exceed 30 days, to correct the violation. Should the violation con- tinue beyond the time specified for correction, the code inspector shall notify the special master and request a hearing.

The repeat violator may choose to waive his or her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as determined by the special master. A repeat viola- tion is a violation of a provision of a code or CD2:5 � 2 -70 ordinance by a person whom the special master has previously found to have violated the same provision within five years prior to the violation. (d) If the code inspector has reason to believe a violation of the condition causing the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare or if the violation is irrepara- ble or irreversible in nature, the code inspector shall make a reasonable effort to notify the viola- tor and may immediately notify the special mas- ter and request a hearing. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -70. Conduct of hearings. (a) At the hearing, the burden of proof shall be upon the town to show by substantial competent evidence that a violation did occur or does exist, or has been repeated. Assuming proper notice of hearing has been given to the respondent, either as actual notice or as provided herein, a bearing may proceed in the absence of the respondent. (b) All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. The formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repeti- tious evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible, whether or not such evidence would be admissible at a trial in the courts of the state. Documentary and physical evidence may be admitted. (c) The special master may inquire of any witness who is testifying before him/her.

In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special master shall notify the local governing CD2:6 body, which may make all reasonable••repaias which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the rea- sonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If, after due notice and hearing, a special master finds a violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may order the violator to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b), below. (b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first viola- tion, and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a), above. However, if the special master finds the violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per viola- tion. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special master shall consider the follow- ing factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor- rect the violation; and (3) Any previous violations committed by the violator. (d) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public record and thereaf- ter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order may be enforced in the same manner as a court judg- ment by the sheriffs of this state, including levy against the personal property, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursu- ant to this section shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until a judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of the town and the town may execute a satisfaction or re- lease of a lien entered pursuant to this section. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the town may authorize the town attorney to foreclose on the lien.

In an action to foreclose on a lien, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee, that it incurs in the foreclosures. The town shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The contin- uation of the lien effected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of lis pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special master to the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the special master. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execu- tion of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -75. Notices. (a) All notices required by this section shall be provided to the alleged violator by certified mail, return receipt requested; by hand delivery by the sheriff or other law enforcement officer, code inspector, or other person designated by the local governing body; or by leaving the notice at the violator's usual place of residence with any person residing therein who is above 15 years of age and informing such person of the contents of the notice. (b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in this section, at the option of the special master, notice may also be served by publication or post- ing, as follows: (1) Such notice shall be published once dur- ing each week for four consecutive weeks (four publications being sufficient) in a newspaper of general circulation in Palm CD2:7 (2) Proof of publication shall be made as provided in F.S. �� 50.041 and 50.051.

(4) Proof of posting shall be by affidavit of the person posting the notice, which affidavit shall include a copy of the notice posted and the date and places of its posting. (c) Notice by publication or posting may run concurrently with, or may follow, an attempt or attempts to provide notice by hand delivery or by mail as required under this section. (d) Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided in this section, together with proof of publication or post- ing as provided in this section shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this section have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator actually received such notice. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2.76. Procedure to request that a fine or lien imposed pursuant to sec- tion 2 -72 be reduced; conditions and criteria therefor. (a) The owner of real property against which a fine or lien has been imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 may apply to the special master, through the town attorney or his/her designee, for a satisfac- tion of the fine or lien with less than full payment thereof.

(2) The applicant is not personally indebted to the town for any reason. (3) All town code violations have been cor- rected under necessary permits issued therefor. § 2 -76 GULF STREAM CODE (b) In considering an application to reduce a fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72, no satisfaction thereof shall be approved by the spe- cial master with less than full payment thereof, unless the special master shall make a specific finding that no violation of any ordinance de- scribed in section 2 -68 of this Code exists on the subject real property. (c) The balance of any fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 that is reduced by the special master shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special master. (d) If the property for which an application for a fine reduction is being considered is owned by a government or quasi - government entity, the spe- cial master may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2.77. Provisions supplemental and cu- mulative. Nothing contained in this division shall in any way bar or prohibit the maintenance of a suit at law or in equity by the town to enjoin or correct any violation of the ordinances of the town, nor to bar or prohibit the town from filing charges against any person, firm or corporation violating any town ordinance as provided by existing laws. This division shall be construed to be supplemental and cumulative with any and all other remedies available to the town and not exclusive. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -78.
