Code compliance has been verifying substantially damaged structures and destroyed structures received adequate demolition permitting and inspections. This Ordinance will provide an exemption of the demolition permit fees for structures that were destroyed, severely damaged, and minor damages from Hurricane Irma. The Ordinance will allow the exemption on AFT Demolition Permit fees for fifteen months from the date of the storm, September 10, 2017 through April 30, 2019. It will expire on its own as written as of May 1, 2019 without further action.

WHEREAS, the Growth Management Division and its Code Enforcement Department are continually having to respond to construction work and land clearing and filling being done without benefit of a permit contrary to the County's construction and land development regulations; and, WHEREAS, consistent with Florida Statutes, the primary approach for enforcement of the County's regulations is by bringing unpermitted work and activity into voluntary compliance rather than by the levying of fines; and, WHEREAS, Chapter 162, Florida Statutes, limits the County's authority to levy fines where compliance is obtained and no violation has occurred of an irreparable or irreversible in nature; and, WHEREAS, the primary tool remaining to the County as a deterrent to unauthorized work or clearing and filling is the fee schedule and provisions of Section 6 -29 and environmental restoration standards and provisions of Section 9.5 -119, Monroe County Code ( "MCC "); and, WHEREAS, Section 6 -29 (a)(1), MCC, establishes the fee for obtaining a permit after the fact at $250 or 10 percent of the value of the construction already completed, whichever is greater, or obtaining a demolition permit to bring the site back into its original condition; and, WHEREAS, where land clearing is done without a permit, the site must be restored in accordance with Section 9.5 -119, MCC, and an after -the -fact permit must be obtained for a fee of $250; and, WHEREAS, where placement of fill is done without a permit, either an after - the -fact permit must be obtained for a fee of $250 or, if all the fill is to be removed, a demolition permit must be obtained for a fee of $50 and the site restored to its original condition; and, WHEREAS, the County incurs additional costs to investigate and bring into compliance illegal construction and land clearing and filling activities, which must be borne by the Monroe C: \TEMP\finalafter -the- fact- ordr_.doc Page 1 of 4 County taxpayer, as the after- the -fact permit fees for such activities are insufficient to cover these additional costs or provide an adequate deterrent to further violations; and, WHEREAS, the filling of wetlands has negative long -term impacts on these sensitive environmental communities that can not be adequately restored even with the removal of the illegal fill, but can be partially mitigated off -site, as authorized for permitted fill activities in disturbed wetlands under Section 9.5- 348(d)(6), MCC; and, WHEREAS, it is very difficult to sustain an allegation of an irreparable or irreversible violation before the Special Master or in a court of law, as specific evidence to support the allegation is generally lacking, especially in clearing of environmentally sensitive habitat with endangered and other protected species; and, WHEREAS, the Growth Management Division staff has prepared amendments to Section 6 -29, MCC, to more adequately recover the costs incurred by the County to bring these unpermitted activities into compliance and, at the same time, increase the disincentives for doing work or land clearing and filling without benefit of a permit; and, WHEREAS, the Growth Management Division staff is working on amendments to Section 9.5 -119, MCC, to strengthen the County's environmental restoration standards regarding illegal land clearing and filling to more adequately restore and protect significant upland habitat and wetland communities; and, WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has reviewed the proposed amendments to Section 6 -29, MCC, recommended by the Growth Management Division staff; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, THE FOLLOWING: Section 1.
