At the forefront of the meeting was the case involving Laura Williams and her parents, who were cited for transient parking of a recreational vehicle at their property on Oliver Avenue in Altamont Springs. The county’s evidence, presented by code enforcement officer Shannon Henson, depicted an RV improperly parked and in use, with plumbing connections suggesting occupancy. Despite follow-up inspections since October 2025, the violations remained unresolved. Williams, representing her elderly parents, argued that the RV’s placement had been county-approved following a disaster, with FEMA providing the trailer. However, the county countered that the limited use permit had expired in September 2025, necessitating its removal due to the absence of ongoing construction work.

The magistrate emphasized the compliance requirement, which extended beyond merely repositioning the trailer, as it involved adhering to the permit’s expiration terms. The county recommended a compliance deadline of 15 days, with a $200 daily fine for non-compliance. Williams expressed the financial burden this imposed on her parents, who relied solely on social security. She asserted that they had adhered to previous county requests, such as lawn maintenance and debris removal, and contested the demand to move the trailer, arguing it was excessive given the circumstances and the prior approval.

The magistrate acknowledged the family’s compliance efforts but reiterated the necessity of aligning with local regulations. The magistrate set a follow-up hearing to assess progress.

Another case involved Shawanda Williams Johnson, who faced violations concerning an occupied trailer on her property. Neighbors had lodged complaints about habitation in the trailer, prompting the magistrate to warn of a potential $100 daily fine if the situation was not rectified by May 14. Williams Johnson sought assistance in complying with the order, and the magistrate assured her of receiving information and resources to aid her compliance efforts, stressing the importance of maintaining neighborhood standards.

The meeting also addressed the case of Michelle Maddock, cited for unpermitted construction at her Sanford property. Despite numerous notifications since February 2024, the violations persisted. The magistrate established a compliance deadline of March 27, with $250 daily fines for non-compliance, and scheduled a follow-up hearing for April 9. Similarly, Julio Surus Parazza faced allegations of unpermitted construction after enclosing a garage and replacing windows without permits. The magistrate noted stalled communication between the owner and the building department, ordering compliance by March 27 and imposing potential daily fines.

Additionally, the magistrate considered a consent agenda item proposing a minor amendment to a lien date in a separate case. In another case, an individual awaiting a health department letter requested an extension of their compliance date, which the magistrate granted, aligning it with the next hearing on April 9.
