AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a settlement agreement for a code compliance lien
foreclosure case styled Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County v. Faresh Miguel Atala,
Case No.: 18-CA-809-P, regarding real property located at 100971 Overseas Highway, Key Largo,
Florida 33037.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On August 14, 2006, the County initiated Code Enforcement Cases
CE06070204, CE06070205, CE06070206, and CE06070207, regarding the property at 100971
Overseas Highway, Key Largo, Florida 33037 (RE00087340-000000). The property owner had
numerous violations for unsafe structures on the parcel. A hearing was held and a compliance date
of March 22, 2007, was ordered. The property owner did not gain compliance until September 11,
2008, resulting in fines totaling $433,500 plus costs of$3,161.22 due to the County. The BOCC
approved litigation June 18, 2008.
As a result of information learned during the litigation, it was determined that the property was in
compliance prior to the originally ordered compliance date but the owner had failed to comply with
the final inspection requirements. Due to these unique circumstances, the parties have negotiated a
settlement where the owner has agreed to pay the County's costs of$3,161.22. In good faith,
payment has already been tendered in full. It is being held until approval of this agreement.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On October 16, 2019, the BOCC held a closed session.
On June 18, 2008, the BOCC approved litigation against the property owner.
