CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The above - stated facts constitute a violation of Section 30 -33 of the Code of Ordinances
of the Village of Tequesta.
ORDER
It is hereby ordered by the Special Magistrate that the Village may immediately abate the
violation of Section 30 -33 by taking reasonable actions concerning the maintenance of the pool
in order to alleviate the dangerous conditions that such pool issues may present to surrounding
areas pursuant to legislative authority granted to the Village by Section 162.09, Florida Statutes;
and furthermore, such abatement will not create any liability against the Village for any damages
to the property as a result of such good faith repairs or actions. Additionally, the Village may
continue to abate the nuisance in the future whenever the pool maintenance issues again violate
Village Code as documented in the code enforcement files for the property. The Village may also
later request a fine assessment hearing on this matter in order to recover the costs of these
abatement activities by the Village.
Should you violate the same Section of the Code again, you may be subject to a fine of
up to five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for such repeat violation. Additionally, the Code
Inspector is not required to give a reasonable time to correct the repeat violation and the case
may be presented to the Special Magistrate even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior
to the Special Magistrate hearing.
Should a dispute arise concerning compliance, either party may request a hearing before
the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate on the issue of compliance only.
Upon complying in any code compliance matter, it is always the responsibility of the
Respondents to contact the Code Compliance Division at (561) 768 -0506 to request a re-
inspection of the property.
DONE AND ORDERED THIS day of August, 2011.
