The first case discussed involved a property on North Bayshore Drive. The city, represented by Holden Pinker, identified a violation concerning a metal roof panel that posed a life and health safety concern. The property owner, David Brown, was notified of the violation and given deadlines to comply. Despite the issuance of a courtesy notice and a subsequent formal notice, the property remained non-compliant as of the meeting date. Brown acknowledged the roof’s disrepair, admitting previous unsuccessful attempts to manage the repairs himself. He informed the magistrate of his intent to resolve the issue, mentioning a permit application in progress. The city recommended a 30-day period for compliance, with a proposed fine of $250 per day for any delay beyond this timeframe. Brown’s uncertainty about securing a contractor highlighted the complexities involved in addressing the violation. The magistrate emphasized the importance of collaboration between Brown and the city to ensure timely compliance and avoid further penalties.

The meeting then addressed another significant case involving the Wave Resort Homeowners Association at 13343 Gulf Boulevard. The absence of a proper fence around the swimming pool was cited as a violation of sections 110-447 and 34-521, which dictate minimum life and safety requirements. The property was initially found non-compliant following the lapse of a courtesy notice deadline. Despite further notices, the issue persisted at the time of the hearing. Don Williams, representing the Wave Resort Homeowners Association, confirmed efforts to install a temporary construction fence, with a permit application in process. The city stressed the safety concerns related to the lack of adequate fencing, recommending a 30-day compliance period and a $250 daily fine for continued non-compliance. The magistrate concurred, granting the suggested timeframe for the association to rectify the situation.

Another case discussed involved a property at 160 140th Avenue East. The city proactively identified a violation concerning a structure built at grade without the necessary permit. The property owners, Ryan Dyer and Heather Mard, were notified through a courtesy notice and a subsequent formal notice of violation. However, compliance had not been achieved by the meeting date. The city proposed a 30-day compliance period, recommending a $100 daily fine for any further violations. The magistrate noted the recent submission of a permit application by the property owners and expressed optimism for resolution within the allotted timeframe.
