BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
A 2 Z Multiservice Corp. Fine Reduction Request
This Fine Reduction Stipulation and Agreed Recommended Order involves a parcel located at 1367 NW Charlie Green Drive, Stuart, Florida.
On June 20, 2007, an Order Finding Violation was issued by the Code Enforcement Magistrate to A 2 Z Multiservice Corp. for the following violation(s): Section 67.201.B - Nuisance Declared: Trash, Etc. General Ordinances, Martin County Code and Section 67.201.A. - Nuisance Declared: Weeds, Undergrowth General Ordinances, Martin County Code.
Compliance was required by July 5, 2007. On February 4, 2021, an Affidavit of Compliance/Accrued Fines was issued reflecting an outstanding fine of $814,200.00 plus costs in the amount of $ 350.00.
Monte McLendon is the Current Owner of the property. Pursuant to a Quit Claim Deed recorded in Official Records Book 3122, Page 143, Martin County, Florida Public Records, Respondent has no remaining interest in the property.
Staff has determined that a lien reduction is warranted. Current Owner was not responsible for the violation. However, he brought the property into compliance and has offered to pay $1,250.00 to resolve the outstanding fines which have accrued which represents 10% of the property value plus the $350.00 for the administrative costs. The property appraiser shows the property being valued at $9,000.00.
