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 height of the weeds and

surrounding areas pursuant to legislative authority granted to the Village by Section 162.09,

obligation or any present or future liability for any darr�age to the property that may result from
such good faith attempts to abate the violations. Additionally, the Village may continue to abate
the nuisance in the future whenever the height of the vegetation and overgrowth conditions again
violate Village Code as documented in the code enforcement files for the property. The Village

these abatement activities by the Viilage.
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-
