BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

Bank of New York Mellon TTEE c/o Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. Fine Reduction Request:

This Fine Reduction Stipulation and Agreed Recommended Order involves a parcel located at 3042 NE Savannah Road, Jensen Beach, Martin County, Florida.

On January 17, 2018, an Order Finding Violation was issued by the Code Enforcement Magistrate to Brenda J Lazzara, for the following violation(s): Section 21.99 - Accessory Structures, Section 21.121.2 - Openable Windows, Section 21.223 - Electrical System Hazards, Section 67.201.A - Nuisance Declared: Weeds, Undergrowth, General Ordinances, Martin County Code.

Compliance was required by February 28, 2018. On November 7, 2019, an Affidavit of Compliance/Accrued Fines was issued reflecting an outstanding fine of $202,600.00 plus costs in the amount of $575.00.

Staff has determined that a lien reduction is warranted. Current Owners were not responsible for the violations; however, they brought the property into compliance and have offered to pay $5,000.00 to resolve the outstanding fines which have accrued. In addition, staff has considered the $39,220.00 assessed value of the structure.
