Unlicensed Vehicle Sparks Code Violation at Palatka Special Magistrate Meeting
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Palatka Special Magistrate meeting, the primary focus was on a code violation regarding an unlicensed vehicle parked on residential property on North 14th Street. The property owners, identified as Leonard Battles and Jimmy Battles, did not attend the meeting or respond to notification attempts. As a result, the Special Magistrate ruled that the property must be brought into compliance by November 19, 2025, with a $25 daily fine for non-compliance thereafter.
During the hearing, it was confirmed that the vehicle in question lacked a license plate, violating section 94-193 of the city code, which prohibits parking unlicensed vehicles in residential zones unless enclosed within a building. The city made efforts to contact the owners through certified mail and property posting, but received no response. The property was zoned R2, confirming its residential status. Photographic evidence taken by city officials supported the claim, showing the vehicle without a tag.
