The Mumpers’ property became the focal point of the meeting, with Officer Shannon Henson presenting three interconnected cases. The first case addressed a dilapidated fence violating the Seminole County Land Development Code. Inspections dating back to February 2025 showed no progress in repairs, prompting the board to order compliance by September 11, 2025, with a $50 daily fine for non-compliance. This was followed by the second case concerning stagnant water in a neglected pool, with a recommendation for a $250 daily fine if the issue persisted past the same deadline. The third case focused on rubbish accumulation, with a $100 daily fine proposed for continued violations.

David Strain, a neighbor residing across the street, provided compelling testimony by detailing the property’s deteriorating condition and the safety risks posed by wildlife attracted to the overgrown landscape. He noted the property’s ownership history and the lack of engagement from the current owners, who had inherited the property. Strain’s testimony was supported by photographic evidence, illustrating obstructive bushes and a damaged driveway, further underscoring the neighborhood’s frustration with the ongoing neglect. Despite the neighborhood’s attempts to purchase and restore the property, the owners declined, maintaining an unresponsive stance to the violations.

In another significant case, the board deliberated on a property owned by the Palmer family, which had faced repeated violations involving rubbish and debris. A representative of the family attributed maintenance delays to personal injury and unauthorized dumping by outsiders. The property, which had since been brought into compliance, was the subject of a debate over whether to impose fines for the period of non-compliance. Board members weighed the financial implications against the family’s efforts to rectify the situation, ultimately agreeing on a reduced administrative cost of $2005, due by September 27, 2025. Failure to meet this payment would result in a lien of $9,100.

The board also addressed a case involving an unsecured swimming pool on a property owned by Vivian M. Severson. Officer Tamara Judges provided evidence of persistent violations despite multiple notices. The board ordered the pool to be enclosed by September 11, 2025, with a $250 daily fine for non-compliance, citing the property as a significant safety hazard.

Additionally, a series of lean cases involving Mabel Hill, Harry Hill, Bernice McKenna, and Cheryl M. Hardy’s property on Cypes Avenue were discussed. Violations included uncultivated vegetation and rubbish, with fines totaling $24,900 proposed for non-compliance. Photographic evidence and detailed inspection timelines supported these recommendations, which the board unanimously approved.
