SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
WHEREAS:
.1. The property in question has a legal description ,of RE: 00217830-000100, Vacant
Lot 13, Pirates Road, Little Torch Key, Monroe County, Florida (the "Property"); and
2. On or about July 16, 2006, Monroe County filed the above-referenced Code _
Enforcement case against the property owner (Robert B. Carpenter) regarding the Property, in
which the allegations were that the property owner violated the following sections of the Monroe
County Code: 9.5-317(A)(B) (FEMA standards); 6.4(A)(C) (unsafe building); 6-41(A) (no certificate
of occupancy issued); 6.6-6(A) (violation Fire Safety Codes); and 9.5-111 (1) (building permits
required); and
3. On 7/27/07, the Special Magistrate found the Property in violation as alleged and
imposed fines in the amount of $250 per day per count to begin running on August 23, 2007 if not
corrected prior to that time; and
4. Fines ran from 8/24/08 to 11/29/07, or for 93 days, for a total of $122,500, plus an
administrative cost imposed in the amount of $100 and a recordation fee in the amount of $18.50,
for a total of $122,618.50; and
5. On 11/29/07, the SpeCial Magistrate ordered the fines stayed as of that date; and
6. The order imposing the fines constitutes a lien on the Property pursuant to Section
162.09(6), Florida Statutes; and
7. The current property owner, through his wife Lynn Carpenter, has represented that
he is in the process of selling the Property; and
8. The buyers (Thomas and Robin Mizwa) have expressed an interest in settling the
accrued fines in this matter as part of the sale and purchase of the Property;
9. The County is interested in assisting Robert B. CliIrpenter ("Seller") and Thomas and
Robin Mizwa ("Buyers") (collectively, "Respondents") in correcting the Code violations and
resolving the Code Enforcement case.
NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County has offered to accept and
Buyers have agreedto pay $20,000.00 (the "Settlement Amount:> in full and final settlement of any
fines imposed by the Special Magistrate in this matter up to and including the date of execution of
this agreement, contingent on payment within the time frame expressed in paragraphs (3) and (4)
below.
2. The Settlement Amount will be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the Property
from Seller to Buyers.
3. Said sale is scheduled to be completed on or about February 22, 2008.
4. If for any reason said sale is not completed by February 26, 2008, and/or if the
Settlement Amount is not paid to the County as part of the closing, then this agreement is null and
void, and the full amount of the outstanding fines and costs listed above remains due and owing.
5. Respondents understand that the payment of the accrued penalties does not
resolve the Code violations on the Property. Upon payment of the Settlement Amount in
accordance with the terms and conditions stated above, the County agrees to dismiss Seller from
the Code Enforcement case, but the Code Enforcement case Usted above continues against the
new Property owners and the Buyers have an obligation to correct the Code Violations existing on
the Property. The County agrees to give Buyers a maximum of four (4) months from the date of
this Agreement within which to correct the outstanding violations. Correction of the outstanding
Code violations will be reached when the Buyers pass final inspections on any and all demolition
and/or building necessary to correct the violations, and receive an Affidavit of Compliance from the
Code Enforcement Inspector on the case. Note: The Property owners have the responsibility for
(a) obtaining and paying for any and all necessary permits, (b) doing work using properly licensed
contractors, (c) calling for inspections, (d) contacting the Code Enforcement Inspector and
arranging for a compliance inspection, and (e) complying with all other applicable State and local
laws. The County reserves the right to seek the imposition of further fines should the Code
violations not be corrected by that time.
6. The Respondents shall remit cash, money order or check in Settlement Amount
made payable to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, together with a signed and
notarized original of this settlement agreement. Following receipt of the settlement agreement and
the Settlement Amount, staff will present this settlement agreement to the Monroe County Board of
County Commissioners for approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The County will hold
the check uncashed until approval of the settlement terms by the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners, at which time the County will cash the check or deposit the funds.
7. Within thirty (30) days of clearance of the check, the County shall provide to
Respondent a release and satisfaction of said lien, which the Buyers shall record in the Official
Records of Monroe County.
, . ,8, Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees other than as specified in
this llfreement.
