Respondent, 6158 SEA GRASS LANE LLC is the owner of the property located at 6158 Sea Grass LN,Naples,FL 34116,Folio 38222520000. 2. Respondent was duly notified of the date of hearing by certified mail and posting and Dan Schmitt was present at the hearing. 3. The Petitioner/County presented evidence that the Respondent's address had been used on advertisements for a commercial venture at the subject property. Pursuant to the Collier County Land Development Code Section 2.02.03, "Any use or structure not specifically identified in a zoning district as a permitted use, conditional use,or accessory use shall be prohibited in such zoning district.". The subject property is zoned Estates. The permitted uses in the Estates zoning district do not include a commercial use. The advertisement/website entered into evidence did not restrict the attendees at the event to a specified group of people, but appeared to be open to the public. It also appeared to charge a fee for attendance at the event. 4. Respondent presented argument and evidence that the use in question, a meeting at which it was argued was only to be attended by friends and invitees. This argument was unpersuasive. 5. The issue of whether this was a repeat violation was addressed. 6. Petitioner presented sworn testimony that a similar violation had been cited as a violation in 2025. That violation was abated. The Respondent was served a Notice of Violation(NOV) for the instant case on January 8,2026. The violation was corrected prior to the date for abatement on the NOV. 7. Fla. Stat. § 162.06 (3) is the relevant authority in this instance. It states in relevant part that: "The code inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall notify an enforcement board and request a hearing. The code enforcement board,through its clerical staff, shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice pursuant to s. 162.12. The case may be presented to the enforcement board even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the board hearing,and the notice shall so state.If the repeat violation has been corrected,the code enforcement board retains the right to schedule a hearing to determine costs and impose the payment of reasonable enforcement fees upon the repeat violator."(Emphasis added by undersigned) 8. The evidence as presented clearly shows that this was a repeat violation under the definition in Fla. Stat. Section 162.06(3). It was also within the authority of the Code Enforcement Department to bring this matter forward for hearing. 9. The Petitioner presented substantial competent evidence in the form of testimony and pictorial evidence that proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the real property of the Respondent was in violation of the Collier County Land Development Code, 04-41, as amended, Section 2.02.03 on January 8, 2026 when the Notice of Violation was issued.
