Fort Myers Beach Special Magistrate Resolves Code Violations Without Imposing Daily Fines

In a meeting of the Fort Myers Beach Special Magistrate, multiple code compliance cases were reviewed, resulting in resolutions without the imposition of daily fines. The cases involved violations that were subsequently corrected, and administrative fees were assessed to cover the proceedings.

The most notable discussion revolved around the case concerning the property on Driftwood Lane involving Pras Builders LLC. The property was initially found in violation of local codes but was brought into full compliance by March 4, 2025. The town recommended that the case be recorded as a violation that has since been complied with, and no daily fines were imposed. However, a $250 administrative fee was assessed. The representative of Pras Builders LLC agreed to the terms, noting the ease of the resolution process.

Another notable case involved the property on Buccaneer Drive. Following a continuance from a previous hearing, the property owner achieved compliance by February 18, 2025. The town requested a similar resolution, with no daily fines and a $250 administrative fee, providing a 60-day window for payment due to hardship. The absence of the property owner was noted, but communication was confirmed through an email chain submitted as evidence.

Additionally, a compliance status update for the property on Fairview Boulevard was addressed. The property had met compliance requirements by the January 30, 2025, deadline, avoiding the threat of daily fines. Given the timely compliance, the originally ordered $250 administrative fee was waived, and the case was closed upon receiving the signed order.
