AGENDA ITEM WORDING
Presentation of settlement offer from Scott & Victoria Curry to settle code enforcement lien
Imposed against property.
ITEM BACKGROUND
The Curry's had a swimming pool built on their property without benefit of a permit In the spring
of 2002. When they failed to appear at their October 31, 2002 hearing, the Special Master found
them in violation for building without a permit. The Special Master Imposed a $200 per day fine
for each day after January 23, 2003 in which the permit was not obtained. After some delay, a
portion of which was attributable to staff, the permit was Issued. As of April 8, 2004, the date of
compliance, the lien totaled $87,600.00. Staff has offered to recommend to the Board that it
settle the lien for $6,650, a figure which is less than 10% of the fine but which gives the Currys
credit for the fees already paid by them (@$2100). Mr. & Mrs. Curry have rejected that amount
and wish to have the fine eliminated altogether.
