To refresh your memory, a while ago I called Rita at Gulfstream Town Hall to ask about specifications for a privacy fence. Misunderstanding #1 was that what I called a privacy fence was really a street- facing fence. Rita told me it must be no higher than 6 feet, wooden shadow box type, not vinyl. The fence went up and the problems began. It seems my fences are in violation of a code I knew nothing about and without a permit. Misunderstanding #2: Rita never mentioned I needed a permit or I would have filed for a permit right then and there. Moreover, others are also unaware as you will see in the photos below. I now have the permits. Please help me understand why I have been singled out to cut my down my fences to 4 feet when others have 6 foot fences. I don't understand why these 6 -foot street - facing fences are allowed and mine are not. 6 'wooden fence at 2566 Ave Au Soleil Mistakenly approved by Town Manager Z4 513112011 10:54 AM Z'd LZZZVLZL99 oui -ir yooN j weill!M eLZ: L L LL L£ feIN Print http://us.mg4.tmil.yaboo.conVdc/launch?.gx=l &.rand= 07hv7mdv 163e, Please help me understand why these fences are okay and mine are not! My neighbors like my fences. Too much time, energy, and money (mine) have been wasted on this matter. In the future, people should be correctly and thoroughly informed! Why is it that these neighbors are able to keep their fences? It's a blatant case of selective code enforcement which you told me must not be tolerated. I'll install the self - dosing hardware (of which I was not initially informed), and when the above pictured fences are rectified to 4 feet, then I will comply. In the meantime, I'm grateful for your assistance and await your response. Most sincerely, Dr Melanie Bazarte 940/930 Orchid Lane 561 - 441 -9215 :)f4 513112011 10:54 AM £'d LZZZtLZL9S oui'jr 400y4 � weiiiim eLZ: L L [L l£ (eA 1t FrA 'S � 3e. a 1 t ` t 3) ' nkyi5� may+ \: r \ +' �,��.���'.C.�b�. =a iat vlr 'mot •. � s4lmtr sl'_ '' uAl` ,4 I.y �t i} a51f7Vla r, .NMs'"F a BP2CBI01 City of Delray Beach Florida 5/27/11 Global Location Inquiry — Building Permit Applications 16:05:18 Property address . . . . 2566 AVENUE AU SOLEIL Property Control Number . . • 20 43 46 04 22 000 0410 Type options, press Enter. 2= Application inq 3= Structure inq 4--Permit inq 5= Inspection inq Opt Appl Nbr Type Stat Date Tenant Nbr/Name _ 10 00131236 FNCE CO 11/30/10 * GULFSTREA)d F3 =Exit F12= Cancel 9'd LZZZbLZl99 'ouI 'jf 400N =j wepl!M e9Z: L 6 l l l£ Ae" OP209101 city of oelray Beach Florida 5,72111 Clobal Location Inquiry - Building Permit Applications iS:51:43 Property address : 'UNKR%% Property control Number ._. : 20 43 46 04 22 000 0210 Type options, press Enter. 24pplicanm inq 3-Structure inq Warnit inq S- Inspection inq Opt Appl Ar Type Stat Date Tenant 1mr /mane F3 Wt F32•Cancel Z'd 2ZZbLZl99 'eUl'jf 4O0){-�welll!M eLZ :ll 11 L£AeW CITY OF DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DEPT.

WHEN ISSUED, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PERMIT IS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS EXEMPT UNDER 489.103(7) OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES, AND CERTIFY THAT I AM THE BONA FIDE OWNER OF SAID PROPERTY.

I may build or improve a one - family or two family residence or a farm outbuilding. The building must be for my own use and occupancy. It may not be built for sale or lease. If I sell or lease more than one building I have built myself within one (1) year after the construction is complete, the law will presume that I built it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this exemption. I may not hire an unlicensed person as my contractor. My construction must be done according to building codes and zoning regulations. It is my responsibility to make sure that people employed by me have licenses as required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. I certify that I have not completed a residence or duplex under an owner— builder permit within the past twelve (12) months. I am responsible for all work done by my employees and that proper provision has been made to carry the necessary workers compensation, public liability and property damage insurance, withholding of social security, federal income taxes and payments of federal and state unemployment compensation taxes, as required by law.

I may build or improve a one - family or two family residence or a farm outbuilding. The building must be for my own use and occupancy. It may not be built for sale or lease. I£ I sell or lease more than one building I have built myself within one (1) year after the construction is complete, the law will presume that I built it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this exemption. I may not hire an unlicensed person as my contractor. My construction must be done according to building codes and zoning regulations. It is my responsibility to make sure that people employed by me have licenses as required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. I certify that I have not completed a residence or duplex under an owner— builder permit within the past twelve (12) months. I am responsible for all work done by my employees and that proper provision has been made to carry the necessary workers compensation, public liability and property damage insurance, withholding of social security, federal income taxes and payments of federal and state unemployment compensation taxes, as required by law.

IN THE COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE TOWN HALL, 100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA. Special Magistrate Laura Donlon announced that the case being heard is Case No. CE 1 -11 addressing a code violation at 940 Orchid Lane, Place Au Soleil Subdivision, Gulf Stream, Florida, that is owned by Melanie Bazarte. Special Magistrate Donlon asked the Petitioner, Town of Gulf Stream, to present the facts of this case. Town Manager Thrasher, for the Town of Gulf Stream, presented a return receipt signed by Melanie Bazarte for the Notice of Agenda delivered to Ms. Bazarte on May 1, 2011 at 5:45 P.M. The Special Magistrate ruled that proper notice had been given and marked the document(s) as Exhibit #1 for the Town of Gulf Stream. The violation described in Exhibit #1 is that fences at 930 and 940 Orchid Lane were constructed without first obtaining building permits in violation of Ordinance 009 /9 amending Gulf Stream Code Sections 42.62 thru 42.28 adopting the Delray Beach related codes and the State of Florida Building Code Section 104 by reference. Mr. Thrasher presented a copy of the Notice of Violation dated May 27, 2009 informing the owner that a violation of not obtaining a permit for the installation of a fence had occurred, with referenced Codes regarding the violation attached. The Special Magistrate accepted the Notice of Violation with attachments as a composite of Exhibit #2 for the Town of Gulf Stream. A copy of a printout from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's website indicating the owner of 940 Orchid Lane and 930 Orchid Lane as Melanie Bazarte. The Special Magistrate accepted the Property Appraiser's printout as Exhibit #3 for the Town of Gulf Stream. Three (3) pages of ten (10) photos of the fence installed without a permit dated May 19, 2009 and May 22, 2009 taken by Code Enforcement Officer David S. Ginsberg were presented. When asked by Special Magistrate Donlon if the photos were taken in the usual course and scope of Officer Ginsberg's duties, Mr. Thrasher said yes. The first photo was marked out by Mr. Thrasher. The Special Magistrate accepted the photos, with the exception of the marked out photo, as Exhibit #4 for the Town of Gulf Stream. A return receipt dated March 25, 2011 signed by Melanie Bazarte at 8:35 P.M. for the delivery of Article #144, Statement of Violation and Notice of Hearing, hand delivered by an Officer. The Special Magistrate accepted the return receipt of delivery of Notice as Exhibit #5 for the Town of Gulf Stream. A Statement of Violation and Notice of Hearing with Ordinances of Reference and legal descriptions for 930 and 940 Orchid Lane attached, delivered to Ms. Bazarte on March 25, 2011. The Special Magistrate accepted the document(s) as a composite of Exhibit #6 for the Town of Gulf Stream. The violation is described in Exhibit #6 referencing violation of Code Ordinance 009 /9 amending G.S. Code Sections 42.46 through 42.28 adopting the Delray Beach related codes and the State of Florida Building Code Section 104 by Reference, all of which relate to obtaining a building permit prior to commencing work. Exhibit #6 indicates the fences were constructed at both addresses without obtaining permits, the date of first inspection was May 19, 2009, the date owner was first notified was May 27, 2009, and the date on and by which violations were to be corrected was given as April 15, 2011. Notice and time of Hearing was provided and the Ordinances of Reference were attached. Code Violation Hearing May 4, 2011 Page 2 Delray Beach Fence Permit Applications with a photo of an existing fence attached to each application for both 930 and 940 Orchid Lane, and a Survey and Owner - Builder Affidavit for each property were presented. Mr. Thrasher stated that a fence permit was applied for upon receipt of the Notice. The Special Magistrate accepted the permit package as Exhibit #7 for the Town of Gulf Stream. A letter addressed to Ms. Bazarte dated April 12, 2011, with a copy of Gulf Stream Code Section 70 -187 attached were presented. Mr. Thrasher read the letter aloud to the Record, stating it was signed by him. He said following receipt and review of the Permit Applications with attachments, it was determined that the proposed installation of fences did not comply with the sections of the Code referenced earlier. The Special Magistrate accepted the April 12, 2011 letter with attached Code references as Exhibit #8 for the Town of Gulf Stream. When asked by the Special Magistrate, in terms of Code Section 70 -187 which refers to certain sections of the Town of Gulf Stream, if he was looking at Place Au Soleil for the provision of fences over 4 feet, Town Manager Thrasher replied that he was. When asked by the Special Magistrate if the properties at 930 and 940 Orchid Lane fall within that District, Mr. Thrasher replied that they do. In closing, Town Manager Thrasher said he believes the Town provided proper notice and that the current fence was installed without a permit, violating sections of the Code as previously stated, and will ask for a remedy to this situation. Special Magistrate Donlon then asked Melanie Bazarte to testify. Ms. Bazarte said she called Town Hall to inform them she would be installing a replacement fence and asked what was required. She said she was informed of materials that could not be used, but that a Shadow Box fence was okay. Ms. Bazarte said these were 6 -foot fences for privacy with landscaping around them and she had no idea they had to be kept at 4 feet. She said she had conversations with both Rita Taylor and Mr. Thrasher concerning the matter and she did receive the Notices, but this was a repair and replace situation, not new construction and said there were and are several existing 6 -foot Shadow Box fences in Place Au Soleil. When asked by the Special Magistrate when the existing 6 -foot fence was installed, Ms. Bazarte replied, in May of 2009. When asked by the Special Magistrate what type of fence was there previously and when was it installed, Ms. Bazarte replied, a 6 -foot Shadow Box fence was installed in the 80's. Special Magistrate said in order to come into compliance Ms. Bazarte will need a permit for the fence and to get a permit after the fact the fence will have to comply with Code. When asked by the Special Magistrate how long it would take her to comply if she had a permit issued, Ms. Bazarte replied, maybe two or three weeks. Special Magistrate Donlon asked Ms. Bazarte if she had photographs or documents demonstrate the previous fence existing prior to 2009 and Ms. Bazarte replied, she did not, but if she knew the requirements concerning pennitting and fence height, she would not have installed the fence. Special Magistrate Donlon administered the Oath to Town Manager Thrasher, Town Clerk Taylor and Mr. Sean Ronan, Ms. Bazarte's nephew. Mr. Ronan said, for aesthetic purposes, he installed the 6 -foot fence rather than a 4 -foot fence for privacy and screening of certain equipment from the street. He said the 6 -foot fence was extended across the driveway to the other property (930 Orchid Lane) to make it larger. Mr. Thrasher said the fence is attractive, but does not meet Code, and removal and replacement of such items requires a permit. He said intention of the Town is to obtain compliance in the kindest way possible and, although it was stated that Code was not referenced in the Notices, he believes it was. Mr. Thrasher asked Town Clerk Rita Taylor to speak about the conversations with Ms. Bazarte. Code Violation Hearing May 4, 2011 Page 3 Town Clerk Rita Taylor said Ms. Bazarte called the Town and asked what the maximum height of a privacy fence between properties would be. Clerk Taylor said her interpretation of a privacy fence would be a fence along the side property lines and, in which case a 6 -foot high fence is allowed. She said the fence was installed along the front of the property and between the two properties, not dividing them. Clerk Taylor stated that at the end of the phone conversation she did advise Ms. Ban a that a building permit would be required, and it was the last conversation the Town had with Ms. Bazarte until they were advised the fence was up. Ms. Bazarte said she feels the Town uses selective enforcement and that there are several vinyl fences and 6 -foot fences in her neighborhood that could have been grandfathered in, but maybe not. She said she cannot remember anything mentioned about a permit or it would have been permitted at the time, but she understands now and is agreeable to it. When asked by the Special Magistrate what was being recommended in this case, Town Manager Thrasher replied that the Town is requesting the fence running parallel to the face of the property be removed entirely, or shortened to the allowable height, and if it remains a wood fence it must be entirely screened by shrubbery to the 4 -foot height. The Town also suggests that this be completed within ten (10) working days, a corrected permit application for both properties be submitted and, subsequent to the 10 working days, requests a fine accrue on a daily basis of $25.00. When asked by the Special Magistrate if the Town is seeking the recovery of Administrative Costs, Town Manager Thrasher replied that, at the direction of the Town Commission, they would be seeking recovery of Administrative Costs in the amount of $150.00. FINDINGS: Special Magistrate Donlon found there was proper notice and there is a violation on the property. She stated that the Town has requested 10 days for full compliance, but because the Respondent may not have been clear on some of the requirements, she will allow the Respondent 21 days for full compliance. Failure to do so could result in a fine of up to $250.00 per day. The Special Magistrate said the Town has requested a fine of $25.00 per day which she will take into consideration at a Fine Assessment Hearing in the future if the Respondent does not comply, but stated that under Statute the fine could be up to $250.00 per day. The Special Magistrate awarded the Town recovery of Administrative Costs of $150.00, payable within ten (10) days and will coordinate with the Town to schedule a Fine Assessment Hearing to occur after the compliance date. The hearing date will be set in the Order received by mail. This concluded the hearing of Case No. CE 1 -11 and the Special Magistrate adjourned the hearing at approximately 10:45 A.M. Rita L.

(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. If the violation is corrected and then recurs or if the violation is not corrected by the time specified for correction by the code inspector, the case may be presented to the special master even if the violation has been corrected prior to the special master hearing, the notice shall so state. (c) If a repeat violation is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator but is not re- quired to give the violator a reasonable time to correct the violation. The code. inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice pursuant to section 2 -75. The case may be presented to the special master even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state. If the repeat violation has been corrected, the special master retains the right to schedule a hearing to determine costs and impose the payment of rea- sonable enforcement fees upon the repeat viola- tor. 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 ordinance by a person whom the special master has previously found to have violated the same provision within five years prior to the violation. CD2:5 § 2 -69 GULF STREAM CODE (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 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. The special master may call any witness deemed nec- essary to provide a full and fair hearing of the case. (d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe- cial master shall issue findings of fact based on evidence on the record and conclusions of law, and shall issue an order affording the proper relief consistent with the powers granted herein. The order shall be stated orally at the meeting, and shall be reduced to writing and mailed to the alleged violator within ten working days after the hearing. The order may include a notice that it must be complied with by a specified date and that a fine, as well as the cost of repairs, may be imposed if the order is not complied with by such date. A certified copy of such order may be re- corded in the public records of the county and shall constitute notice to any subsequent purchas- ers, successors in interest, or assigns if the viola- tion concerns real property, and the findings therein shall be binding upon the violator and, if the violation concerns real property, any subsequent purchasers or successors in interest or assigns. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -71. Powers. The special master shall have the power to: (1) Adopt rules for the conduct of his/her meetings and hearings. (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 CD2:6 " ADNIMTRATION � 2 -74 " " is " 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 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. 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. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. 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) CD2:7 § 2 -75 Sec. 2 -75. Notices. GULF STREAM CODE (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 Beach County, Florida. The newspaper shall meet such requirements as are pre- scribed under F.S. ch. 50 for legal and official advertisements. (2) Proof of publication shall be made as provided in F.S. §§ 50.041 and 50.051. (3) In lieu of publication as described in this section, such notice may be posted for at least ten days in at least two locations, one of which shall be the property upon which the violation is alleged to exist and the other of which shall be at town hall. (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. No such application shall be considered by the special master until the applicant has first shown that: (1) All ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, town utility charges and other government- imposed liens against the sub- ject real property have been paid. (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. (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) CD2:8 " ADMINISTRATION 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 -1498) 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. Unless otherwise " specifically authorized and provided for by law, a person convicted of violating a municipal ordi- nance may be sentenced to pay a fine not to exceed $500.00, and may be sentenced to a defi- nite term of imprisonment not to exceed 60 days, in a municipal detention facility or other facility as authorized by law.

The town hereby adopts by reference the pro- visions of all building codes and building related codes in force and effect in the county as adopted or enacted by the state or the board of county commissioners and the building department of that county, and as amended from time to time. For the purposes of this section, building related codes shall include the county's minimum hous- ing codes, and other construction related regula- tions which serve to insure the construction and maintenance of safe structures.

The expiration of a building permit shall be prima facie evidence that the building project has not commenced or has been abandoned.

In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special magistrate shall notify the local governing body, which may make all reason- able repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the reasonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has Supp. No. 1 CD2:6 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 magistrate finds a violation to be irrep- arable 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 shell 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 magistrate finds the vio- lation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per violation. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special magistrate shall consider the following 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. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section Supp. No. 1 § 2 -75 may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. 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. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special magistrate 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 magistrate. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execution of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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. CD2:7 § 2 -75 GULF STREAM CODE (b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in this section, at the option of the special magis- trate, notice may also be served by publication or posting, 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 Beach County, Florida. The newspaper shall meet such requirements as are pre- scribed under F.S. ch. 50 for legal and official advertisements. (2) Proof of publication shall be made as provided in F.S. §§ 50.041 and 50.051. (3) In lieu of publication as described in this section, such notice may be posted for at least ten days in at least two locations, one of which shall be the property upon which the violation is alleged to exist and the other of which shall be at town hall. (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. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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 has been imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 may apply to the special magistrate, through the town attorney or his/her designee, for a satisfac- tion of the fine with less than full payment thereof. No such application shall be considered by the special magistrate until the applicant has first shown that: (1) All ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, town utility charges and other government- imposed liens against the sub- ject real property have been paid. (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. (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 magistrate with less than full payment thereof, unless the special magistrate shall make a spe- cific 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 magistrate shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special magistrate. (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 magistrate may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected. (e) Where recording has occurred and alien filed against the property, any request for a sat- isfaction of the lien with less than full payment shall be considered by the town commission not the special magistrate. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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 Supp. No. 1 CD2:8 ADMDUSTRAUON division shall be construed to be supplemental and cumulative with any and all other remedies available to the town and not exclusive. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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. Unless otherwise specifically authorized and provided for by law, a person convicted of violating a municipal ordi- nance may be sentenced to pay a fine not to exceed $500.00, and may be sentenced to a defi- nite term of imprisonment not to exceed 60 days, in a municipal detention facility or other facility as authorized by law. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) ARTICLE W. INSURANCE PREMIUMS Sec. 2 -80. Property insurance premiums tax. (1) There is hereby assessed and imposed on every insurance company, corporation or other insurer now engaged in or carrying on, or who shall hereafter engage in or carry on, the business of property insur- ance as shown by the records of the State Department of Insurance, an excise tax in addition to any lawful license or excise tax now levied by the Town, in the amount of one and eighty -five hundredths (1.85) percent of the gross amount of receipts of premiums from policyholders on all pre- miums collected on property insurance policies covering property within the cor- porate limits of the Town. In the case of multiple -peril policies with a single pre- mium for both the property and casualty coverages in such policies, seventy (70) percent of such premium shall be used as the basis for the one and eighty -five hun- dredths (1.85) percent tax. This excise tax shall be payable annually on March 1 of each year. Supp. No. 1 CD2:9 § 2 -80 (2) All money derived from this tax shall be appropriated to the City of Delray Beach's Firefighter Relief and Pension Fund to provide fire - rescue services pursuant to the InterlocalAgreement between the Town of Gulf Stream and the City of Delray Beach.

The fee to the county shall be paid by the builder at the time application for permit is submitted to the county. (Code 1978, § 4 -4) Sec. 42 -29. Construction abandonment. All authorized construction shall be completed prior to the expiration of the building permit issued by the county. The expiration of a building permit shall be prima facie evidence that the building project has not commenced or has been abandoned. Failure of the permit holder or the property owner to complete construction once it has been initiated within the timeframe of the building permit is a violation that will be referred to the special master pursuant to Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2, of this Code.

Subsequently, § 2 of same ordinance renumbered § 42 -30 as § 42 -29. Sec. 42 -30. Driveway permits. (a) Permit required. Construction or reconstruc- tion of driveway aprons within town right -of -way shall not commence until the town has issued a driveway connection permit.

(b) Properties fronting on SR AIA. Not with- standing the foregoing, properties proposing ac- cess to State Road AIA shall first obtain a drive- way permit from the state department of transportation. (Ord. No. 00 -1, § 2, 3- 10 -00) Editor's note Ordinance No. 03 -13, § 3, adopted October 10, 2003, renumbered § 42 -31 to § 42 -30. Secs. 42- 31- 42 -50. Reserved.

(a) There is hereby established a special mag- istrate who shall be designated by the town commission. (b) The special magistrate shall be appointed for a term of two years and shall be appointed to serve in an ex- officio capacity if the special mag- istrate serves other local governments as a special magistrate.

(e) The special magistrate shall preside over code enforcement matters scheduled to be heard from time to time.

(Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -69. Enforcement procedure. (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 magis- trate 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 inspec- tors, law enforcement officers, public works in- spectors, fire safety inspectors, and zoninginspec- tors. (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 magistrate § 2 -70 and request a hearing. The special magistrate shall schedule 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 magistrate, notice may addi- tionally be served by publication or posting as provided in section 2 -75.

The special.magistrate shall schedule a hear- ing and shall provide notice pursuant to section 2 -75. The case may be presented to the special magistrate even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state.

The repeat violator may choose to waive his or her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as determined by the special magistrate. A repeat violation is a violation of a provision of a code or ordinance by a person whom the special magistrate has previously found to have violated the same provision within five years prior to the violation.

(Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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, Supp. No. 1 CD2:5 § 2.70 GULF STREAM CODE or has been repeated. 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 magistrate 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 magistrate. The special magistrate may call any witness deemed necessary to provide a full and fair hearing of the case. (d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe- cial magistrate shall issue findings of fact based on evidence on the record and conclusions of law, and shall issue an order affording the proper relief consistent with the powers granted herein. The order shall be stated orally at the meeting, and shall be reduced to writing and mailed to the alleged violator within ten working days after the hearing. The order may include a notice that it must be complied with by a specified date and that a fine, as well as the cost of repairs, may be imposed if the order is not complied with by such date. A certified copy of such order may be re- corded in the public records of the county and shall constitute notice to any subsequent purchas- ers, successors in interest, or assigns if the viola- tion concerns real property, and the findings therein shall be binding upon the violator and, if the violation concerns real property, any subsequent purchasers or successors in interest or assigns. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -71. Powers. The special magistrate shall have the power to: (1) Adopt rules for the conduct of his/her meetings and hearings. (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. (S) Authorize the reduction of any fine he/she has imposed. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -72. Administrative fines, costs of re- pair; liens. (a) The special magistrate, upon notification by the code inspector that an order of the special magistrate 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 magistrate 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 magistrate. In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special magistrate shall notify the local governing body, which may make all reason- able repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the reasonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has Supp. No. 1 CD2:6 ADMINISTRATION 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 magistrate finds a violation to be irrep- arable 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 magistrate finds the vio- lation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per violation. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special magistrate shall consider the following 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 Hen 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 alien 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. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section § 2 -75 may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 Hs pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special magistrate 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 magistrate. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execution of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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. Supp. No. 1 CD2:7 § 2 -75 GULF STREAM CODE (b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in this section, at the option of the special magis- trate, notice may also be served by publication or posting, 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 Beach County, Florida. The newspaper shall meet such requirements as are pre- scribed under F.S. ch. 50 for legal and official advertisements. (2) Proof of publication shall be made as provided in F.S. §§ 50.041 and 50.051. (3) In lieu of publication as described in this section, such notice may be posted for at least ten days in at least two locations, one of which shall be the property upon which the violation is alleged to exist and the other of which shall be at town hall. (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. 06 -02, § 1, 5 -5 -06) 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 has been imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 may apply to the special magistrate, through the town attorney or his/her designee, for a satisfac- tion of the fine with less than full payment thereof. No such application shall be considered by the special magistrate until the applicant has first shown that: (1) All ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, town utility charges and other government- imposed liens against the sub- ject real property have been paid. (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. (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 magistrate with less than full payment thereof, unless the special magistrate shall make a spe- cific 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 magistrate shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special magistrate. (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 magistrate may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected. (e) Where recording has occurred and alien filed against the property, any request for a sat- isfaction of the lien with less than full payment shall be considered by the town commission not the special magistrate.
