AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Authorization to initiate litigation against Michael Yawt and the
property located at 49 Bahama Avenue and Poinciana Drive if necessary, Key Largo, Florida, to
seek compliance with the County Codes and enforce the liens arising from code compliance case
number(s) CE10100037 and CE15030049.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
This property is subject of two Code Compliance liens. Case
CE10100037 is a result of the failure to maintain the property and all attempts to persuade Mr. Yawt
to comply have failed. As of July 23, 2016, fines in the amount of $200.00 per day have accrued for
approximately 1899 days for a total of $379,800.00 and continue to accrue until compliance is
achieved and the lien is paid. Case CE15030049 is a result of the failure to connect to the central
sewer system and is now compliant.
CE10100037
: As a result of a complaint and investigation by staff, a hearing was held on April 28,
2011 and no one appeared on behalf of the property owner. The Special Magistrate found the
property in violation of Monroe County Code as cited:
MCC Sec. 17-2(a) ABANDONED VEHICLES, and
MCC Sec. 21-20(a) PREMISES TO BE CLEANED OF TRASH AND DEBRIS AND
OVERGROWN VEGETATION,
The Special Magistrate imposed a compliance date of May 11, 2011 with a daily fine of $100.00 per
count to accrue if compliance is not achieved. Compliance was not achieved, therefore the fine(s)
began to accrue and the Final Order was recorded as a lien on June 23, 2011. The case remains open
for non-compliance and failure to pay outstanding fines and costs.
CE15030049
: As result of a referral from KLWTD for the failure to connect to the central sewer
system, a hearing was held on November 19, 2015 and no one appeared on of behalf of the property
owner. The Special Magistrate found the property in violation of Monroe County Code as cited and
imposed a compliance date of February 18, 2016 with a daily fine of $100.00 if compliance was not
achieved by that date. Compliance was not achieved and the Final Order was recorded as a lien on
March 4, 2016. Compliance was achieved on July 6, 2015 and the case remains open for failure to
pay outstanding fines and costs.
