One of the noteworthy cases involved the Diana Caner Trust, where the property was in violation for 128 days, originally incurring a fine of $32,000. The property owner, represented by an attorney, presented a case for leniency due to the owner’s mental health struggles and other personal adversities, including hospitalization and divorce. The town initially offered a 75% fine reduction, bringing the total to $8,000. However, after further discussion, the fine was reduced to $4,000, provided it is paid within 30 days.

Another case featured Michael Hazel, whose property was non-compliant for 238 days, resulting in an initial fine of $59,500. Represented by a contractor, it was revealed that Hazel, a war veteran, had been taken advantage of by a previous contractor, leaving him overwhelmed and unable to address the violations. The town agreed to a 90% fine reduction, bringing the amount to $5,950, also payable within 30 days.
