This Fine Reduction Stipulation and Agreed Recommended Order involves a parcel located at 2333 NE Dixie Hwy, Jensen Beach, Martin County, Florida.

On July 27, 2016, an Order Finding Violation was issued by the Code Enforcement Magistrate to Rajen V. and Harsha R. Patel, for the following violation(s): Section 67.201.B - Nuisance Declared: Trash, Etc., Section 91.34.A - Generally Inoperable Vehicles, General Ordinances, Martin County Code; Section 3.201.2.C.h - Accessory Uses RV's, Martin County Code Land Development Regulations.

Compliance was required by August 29, 2016. On November 7, 2016, an Affidavit of Compliance/Accrued Fines was issued reflecting an outstanding fine of $6,600.00 plus costs in the amount of $575.00.

Staff has determined that a lien reduction is warranted. The respondents had tenants on the property at the time of the violations and corrected the violations on the property as soon as they completed the eviction process with the tenants. The respondents have offered to pay $1,160.00 to resolve the outstanding fines which have accrued.
