Bulk Item: Yes, XX No— Staff Contact Phone#: Lisa Granizer 305-292-3470
AGENDA ITEM WORDING Authorization to initiate litigation against Rudolph Holdings Ltd and their property
located at 418 Harbor Drive,Duck Key,Florida,to seek compliance with the County Code and enforce a lien
arising from code compliance case number CEI 0090019.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
This property was the subject of a code compliance case for violations of the County's vacation rental ordinances.
The property owner gained compliance and is paying the outstanding fines and costs through an installment plan,
However the property owner has recently began advertising for short term vacation rentals in violation of the
Special Magistrate's order and the County's vacation rental ordinances.
CE10090019: On September 26, 2013,the Code Compliance Special Magistrate approved an executed Stipulation
Agreement wherein the property owner admitted to the violations of renting and advertising a property for short
term vacation rentals in an Improved Subdivision(IS)where it is prohibited and without the necessary business tax
license(violations of MCC 130-83 (b)and 134-1(k)(1)and 23-72). The property owner gained compliance by the
agreed upon compliance date.
In the Stipulation,the property owner agreed to pay a onetime fine in the amount of$ 3,500.00 due to the
irreparable and irreversible nature of the violation and costs. The property owner has made installment payments as
agreed upon with the Code Compliance Department. The County's lien was recorded on February 11,2014.'The
Special Magistrate granted the County's motion to proceed with further collection efforts on June 26, 2014.The
code case remains open for non-payment of the outstanding fine and costs. In lieu of initiating an new code case for
the repeat violation of advertising for short term vacation rentals where short term vacation rentals are prohibited,
Code Compliance Department would like to initiate litigation in the Circuit Court for an injunction.
The property is not homesteaded and there are no pending foreclosure actions at this,time.
Pursuant to Resolution 057-2014 the available legal options in regard to the County's lien on this property are:
1. Initiate litigation against the property owner for injunction, foreclosure, money judgment and writ of
attachment;
2. Allow the lien to remain against the property owner, the subject property and any other property owned
by the property owner; and/or
3. Reduce the amount of the fines.
County staff recommends initiating litigation (option 1) against the property owner for injunction, foreclosure,
money judgment and writ of execution.

My flance and I and two other couples stayed at Key Breeze for the fourth of July week.
r$cfJAd,D2 There had been some concerns with how the property looked in the photos.Once we got
Gainesville there these concerns went away,The house was extremely comfortable and very clean

hU - items.The view of the ocean and bay area were great.Several nice sunsets.The pool
213= 1=was nice,dean and not overly chlorinated,albeit a little warm.The dock area was nice,
the 22'Center Console docked easily with room to spare.Everyone had a great time In
the evening fishing off and around the lighted dock or just watching the wildlife swim by.
Had to contact John about a couple of minor things and he got back to me quickly to
address them.I would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the Keys
experience and hope to return myself.The area itself was very quiet,no issues with the
neighborhood.Hawk's Cay Resort was five minutes away by car and twenty minutes by
boat.The only Issue was make sure you talk to someone on how to get out on a low
tide,the water even in the channel gets a little skinny.

Key Breeze Paradise!
ti
Wow-the pictures and description of Key Breeze do not do the property justice! We
lauCa.13. loved our stay at Key Breeze on Duck Key-John's home leaves nothing to be desired!
Mrav er(groflia AAMI�y located yet still secluded-although It is on the same key as Hawk`s Cay
(convenient for activities),it is quiet and private. We loved the pool,the screened
213b- porch,use of the kayak-fishing off the dock was a treat,and we ended up eating at
3705cUM731.home"way more than we expected thanks to all the amenities and having a grill onsite.
We hated to leave,and hope to come back some day! Thank you John for a wonderful
stay!

My husband and I,along with another couple,could not have asked for anything more of
Link a vacation. The location was perfect---a beautiful drive to Key West and convenient to
Warrenton, other venues. The home was lovely but we always felt"at home". Fishing,long walks,

both Islamorada and Marathon. The home Is extremely private and in a really nice area.
The owners have supplied everything you need-just pick up food and you're set. The
home is very dean and well maintained.
We had a couple Issues with the air conditioner during out stay,but John was very
responsive and had It fixed Immediately.
We were very impressed and would definitely stay In this home again.
