Agenda 11/13/2018 Item #16A1711/13/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the release of a code enforcement lien with a value of $17,000.10 for
payment of $2,000 in the code enforcement actions entitled Board of County Commissioners v.
William and Laura Mara, Code Enforcement Board Case No. CESD20080004753 relating to
property located at 4550 Boabadilla Street, Collier County, Florida.
OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners to accept an offer to release a code enforcement
lien with an accrued value of $17,000.10 for payment of $2,000 in relation to Code Enforcement Board
Case No. CESD20080004753.
CONSIDERATIONS: As a result of a code violation, the Code Enforcement Board ordered the
imposition of a lien against William and Laura Mara, in Case No. CESD20080004753 for code violations
at 4550 Boabadilla Street, consisting of a screened lanai converted into a living area without first
obtaining required Collier County building permits, inspections and Certificate of Occupancy. The lien
was recorded in the Official Records on February 4, 2009, at O.R. Book 4425, Page 0528. The lien
amount of $17,000.10 is based on 85 days of accrued fines ($200 per day from November 21, 2008
through February 12, 2009) $17,000 plus .10 in operational costs. The property was brought into
compliance on February 12, 2009.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-46, a request for waiver of fines may be considered when full payment
of the full lien amount would impose a severe financial hardship on the property owner. Fines accrued by
an existing owner would be considered for a waiver as long as the existing owner has diligently pursued
abatement and compliance has been achieved. In 2008, Mr. & Mrs. Mara’s tenant enclosed the lanai
without knowledge or consent. Mr. Mara is disabled and his wife suffered a stroke so they were unable to
complete the work on their own; which took more time and money. They evicted the tenant, and brought
the property back into compliance after following the correct procedures. The property is being actively
maintained and $2,000 has been paid in settlement of fines. The owner is requesting a waiver of
$15,000.10 in accrued fines, see attached hardship letter as required. There are no known violations at this
time.
FISCAL IMPACT: Payment of $2,000 in settlement of fines has been made, representing $1,999.90 in
fines and .10 in operational costs. If approved by the Board, accrued fines in the amount of $15,000.10
would be waived.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
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 $15,000.10, accept payment amount of
$2,000, release the lien, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached release and satisfaction of lien
for recording in the Official Public Records.
