Agenda 12/13/2016 Item #16A16 16.A.16 12/13/2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the release of a code enforcement lien with an accrued value of $50,730.43 for payment of $680.43 in the code enforcement action entitled Board of County Commissioners v. Robert F. Logan and Mary B. Logan, Code Enforcement Board Case No. CEPM20150003240 relating to property located at 5860 Cloudstone Court,Collier County, Florida. OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) accepts an offer to release a code enforcement lien with an accrued value of $50,730.43 for payment of $680.43 in relation to the Code Enforcement Board Case No. CEPM20150003240. CONSIDERATIONS: The Code Enforcement Board ordered the imposition of a lien against Robert F. Logan and Mary B. Logan, (Case No. CEPM20150003240), for code violations at 5860 Cloudstone Court, consisting of torn screens on a pool cage and a damaged roof soffit. The lien was recorded in the Official Records on October 9, 2015, at O.R. Book 5202, Page 3829. The lien amount of$50,730.43 is based on 202 days of accrued fines of $50,500 plus operational costs in the amount of $230.43. The property was brought into compliance on March 10, 2016. The property was acquired by Ted Hofferber, and Certificate of Title was recorded on October 7, 2015. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-46, a request for waiver of fines may be considered when a code enforcement lien encumbers property that is under new ownership, with fines that accrued prior to transfer of title and thirty days following, compliance has been achieved, and payment would cause a severe hardship on the new owner. Mr. Hofferber took title to this property with fines that were accrued previously on uncorrected code violations. It took substantial amounts of time and money with extensive follow up,permit fees, and inspections to come into compliance due to the extent of the violations. There are currently no known violations. See attached hardship letter as required. FISCAL IMPACT: Payment of $680.43 has been made, representing $450 in fines plus $230.43 in operational costs. If approved by the Board, accrued fines in the amount of$50,050 would be waived. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney's Office has reviewed this item and approved it as to form and legality. Majority support is required for approval. This item conforms to the Board's policy contained in Resolution 2012-46. -KN RECOMMENDATION: To waive the fines in the amount of$50,050, accept payment in the amount of $680.43, release the lien, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached release and satisfaction of lien for recording in the Official Public Records.

In connection 0 with our representation, we are writing to formally request a reduction of fines for Code Case No. ec CEPM20150003240,and a release of the lien recorded at O.R. Book 5202, Page 3829 of the Official c Public Records. c6 rn 0 The outstanding lien balance, which is currently in excess of fifty thousand dollars, would pose a a; severe financial hardship on Mr. Hofferber. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with N CsI additional details as to the nature of the hardship, and to request a reduction and settlement of the lien balance. .� a In this case,the Mr. Hofferber took title to this property with uncorrected code violations (lanai and -tea roof soffit needed repair) in a foreclosure action (Case No. 15-CA-00147). Upon taking title, he co diligently pursued abatement and brought the violations into compliance within a reasonable = amount of time in light of the property maintenance violations involved. As a result, the property c has returned from a distressed and blighted property to a healthy,code-compliant property. E U Since taking title to the property, Mr. Hofferber has expended considerable sums on correcting the w violations and improving the property, including $22,175.00 to abate the code violations (see Q attached receipts). We respectfully ask that the Board accept payment of $680.43, representing $450.00 plus operational costs($230.43),as full and final payment for this matter.
