testimony as to the violations on the property including, but not limited to, the existence of rats
on the property.
4. Based upon evidence presented at the July 26, 2012 Special Magistrate Hearing,
the Special Magistrate finds that the property is in violation of Section 30 -32 of the Code of
Ordinances of the Village of Tequesta and such violation represents a serious threat to the health,
safety and welfare of the Village residents due to the height of the weeds and grass and the
presence of vermin.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The above - stated facts constitute a continuing violation of Section 30 -32 of the Code of
Ordinances of the Village of Tequesta.
ORDER
It is hereby ordered by the Special Magistrate that the Village may abate the violation of
Section 30 -32 after August 6, 2012, by taking reasonable actions concerning the height of the
weeds and grass and the presence of vermin in order to alleviate the dangerous conditions that
such issues may present to surrounding areas pursuant to legislative authority granted to the
Village by Section 162.09, Florida Statutes. Such abatement action by the Village shall in no
way create a continuing obligation or any present or future liability for any damage 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,
overgrowth conditions, or presence of vermin again violate Village Code as documented in the
code enforcement files for the property.
Please take notice that you must appear at the Fine Assessment Hearing for the Village's
Abatement Costs, which will be held on the 23 day of August, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. at Village
Hall, Council Chambers, 345 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida 33469, unless the Code
Enforcement Officer certifies that you have timely brought your property into compliance.
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.
