AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Settlement Agreement between Monroe County,
Florida, Magnolia, 101, LLC, and Brian Lindback as an Officer of Magnolia 101, LLC, and Atlantic
Trash & Transfer LLC, and Authorization for the County Attorney or his Designee to Execute the
Agreement on Behalf of the County.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County has five (5) code compliance liens against Key Largo
property owned by Magnolia 101, LLC ("Magnolia" or"Lindback"), legally described as Squares 5
and 20, Ocean Acres, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 188, of the
Public Records of Monroe County, Florida. Those code liens arose as a result of the following five
(5) Code Enforcement Case Nos.: CE07040209, CE07040211, CE07040212, CE09050067, and
CE13050096. Earlier this year, the parties previously settled litigation (Case No.: 2013-CA-945-P)
that resolved other code liens where Magnolia paid $744,900.00 in fines to the County.
The proposed agreement, if approved, would resolve the remaining code liens. Under the proposed
agreement, if approved, Magnolia would deed over to Monroe County an unimproved and
undeveloped Tier I lot(Square or Lot 5 currently bearing Monroe County Property Appraiser's
Office Property Identification No. 00454230-000000 —and value of$382,470). The lot to be deeded
to the County by Magnolia is adjacent to multiple unimproved/undeveloped State of Florida
(Labeled as TIF on map included as additional back up) and County-owned Tier I lots. In exchange,
the County would forgive the outstanding code liens, which total (approximately) $1,260,450.00,
and release of a conservation easement currently on the remaining lot owned by Magnolia
(Square/Lot 20).
In addition, Lindback consents that the prior/operative development approvals issued for Square/Lot
20 (i.e., the remaining lot owned by Magnolia) do not authorize rock and/or concrete crushing and/or
pulverization, separation, sorting, fragmentation, hammering, extraction, or excavation of rebar or
similar materials from concrete, rock, rubble, or debris by equipment or machines, the Planning and
Environmental Resources Department("Planning Department") agrees not to recommend denial of a
later-submitted application for a right-of-way abandonment petition requesting abandonment of a
portion of the right-of-way of Hibiscus Street laying between Squares/Parcels/Lots 20 and 23, Ocean
Acres, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 188, and the Planning
Department further agrees not to object to, deny, or recommend denial of any applications to expand
development into said right-of-way area upon abandonment and conservation easement area upon
release, assuming all Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan requirements are met.

Respondents.
. ..... .......
FINAL ORDER
This case came before the Code Compliance Special Magistrate for final hearing by
video teleconference on September 26,2013,at sites in Marathon and Tallahassee,Florida.
Petitioner Monroe County("County")was represented by Steven T.Williams, Esquire,Assistan
County Attorney. Scott C. Black, Esquire,represented Respondents.
The County initiated this proceeding on June 17,2U13,by issuing a Notice of Violation
("NOV") against Respondents. As charged in the NOV, the property at issue (the "Property") is
located at 101 Magnolia Street,Key Largo,Florida,and has been assigned real estate number
0045420-0000(X). The County alleges that the Property is in violation of the Monroe County,
Florida Code("Code")on five separate grounds. The NOV provides,in relevant part,as follows:
[Count fl 130-74.(a)-ACCESSORY USES/AUTHORIZED USE
No land in the county shall be developed,used or occupied unless
expressly authorized in Monroe County Code Chapter 130.

[Count 111] 130-94.-SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
(Count 2)
The activities beyond the approved area of Lot 20(such as the
production and transfer of mulch and use of public property for
heavy equipment),are light and heavy industrial uses and are not
permitted ....
[Count IV] 21-21.(b)- ILLEGAL DISPOSAUROADSAV ATE R/
[CountV] 118-40—GENERAL RESOURCE EXTRACTION
STANDARDS
All resource extraction activities must comply with the provision
of MCC Sec. 118-41 and Sec. 118-42.
During the final bearing,the parties reached an agreement to settle Counts 1, 111, and IV.
The parties'written agreement concerning these charges has been incorporated into this Final
Order.
At hearing,the County presented as witnesses its employees Kathleen Windsor,Diane
Link,and Michael D. Roberts. Petitioner's Exhibits 1 —90 were received in evidence.
Respondents called Brian Lindback as their sole witness and offered no exhibits.
Having fully considered the evidence presented at hearing,and having considered the
parties'respective proposed final orders,the following findings of fact and conclusions of law
are made.
FINDINGSOF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
-
1. Respondent Magnolia 101,LLC("Magnolia "),a Florida corporation,owns the
Property. Respondent Brian Lindback("Lindback")is the president of Magnolia. He is also the
president of Respondent Atlantic Trash and Transfer, LL.0
Page 2 of 7
DOCU 1970700
SkU 2673 P9U 540
2. The Property is a square parcel sometimes referred to as Lot 20. Magnolia owns thret
other square parcels located near Lot 20 on Magnolia Street in Key I-argo, Florida. Each of
these parcels—known respectively as Lots 1,4,and 5--has a unique real estate number.' The
NOV does not allege that is 1,4,and 5, are in violation of the Code,either collectively or
separately.
3. To remedy past Code violations,Magnolia was required to replant trees on portions of
Lots 1,4,and 20. To perform this work, Magnolia retained Conch Tree Landscaping("Conch
Tree"). Conch Tree applied for permits but, as of the final hearing,none had been issued.
4. On or about May 8, 2013,during an inspection of Magnolia's property, Kathleen
Windsor,a County Code Compliance officer,observed trenches in the ground from which coral
rock had been removed. Coral rock is a commercially valuable natural resource. Ms. Windsor
saw a trench digger parked near the trenches; it appeared to be temporarily disabled by a broken
"tooth," Parked next to the trench digger was a truck on which the name Caputo Electric Inc.
was prominently displayed.
5. On May 10,2013,a Stop Work Order was issued and posted on Respondents'
property.
6. The County obtained a survey to determine the location and extent of the trenching
and excavation. The survey shows,and the parties agree,that none of the trenching and coral
rock mining occurred on Magnolia's property. Rather,it is undisputed that the digging and rock
removal took place primarily on a County owned right-of-way and partially on state owned land.
The extraction of coral rock happened Dear(but not on)Magnolia's Lots 1,4,and 5. Of
Map,nolia's four parcels in the area, Lot 20,which is the Property at issue,is the farthest away
from the site of the coral rock removal.
7. No persuasive evidence was adduced showing that Respondents used the Property
(Lot 20) as alleged in the NOV,namely as a site for heavy industry in the form of resource
extraction, i.e.,coral rock removal. Based on the evidence in the record,the undersigned finds
that the County failed to prove the allegation that Respondents established a heavy industrial use
on the Property.
Lot 1 is assessed under real estate number 00454110-000000. Lot 4 is assessed under real
estate number 00454220-000000. Lot 5 is assessed under real estate number 00454230-000000.
Page 3 of 7
DOCR 1970700
BkN 2673 P9N 541
8. The parties sharply dispute the County's contention that Respondents directed,
authorized, controlled,or acquiesced to the coral rock removal that everyone agrees took place
on County and state property. The County concedes that it offered no direct evidence of such
involvement by Respondents but argues that Respondents'culpability can and should be inferred
from the circumstances. Lindback,during his testimony,explicitly and unambiguously denied
having ever ordered or authorized any work to be performed anywhere without the benefit of a
permit. It is difficult to imagine,however,given the nature and scope of the activities at issue,
that Lindback could have been completely unaware of the trenching and rock removal,which
were apparently being conducted by the contractor he had retained to perform landscaping work
on Magnolia's property. Likewise hard to explain is the question of why Conch Tree would have
commenced extracting coral rock,if not at Respondents'direction; presumably,someone
requested the work,but who? Unfortunately, no one from Conch Tree(or Caputo Electric Inc.)
testified at the final hearing.
9. As it happens, it is not necessary to resolve the dispute about Respondents'alleged
involvement in the trenching and rock removal because,as found above,the evidence fails to
establish that such uses occurred on the Property,which is essential to the charges set forth in the
NOV. Thus,even assuming for argument's sake that Respondents caused the coral rock to be
removed,the Property is not in violation of the Code as charged here.
10. To be clear, the determination that Respondents are not guilty of the specific
violations alleged in Counts II and V of the NOV is not equivalent to a finding that they are
necessarily innocent of all wrongdoing in connection with the extraction of coral rock from
County and state property. There might be other Code violations besides these,which the
County could allege in a subsequent notice. Moreover,the unauthorized entry upon someone
else's land to dig up and remove valuable coral rock without the owner's permission likely would
cause injuries or damages for which the owner could seek redress outside of Code enforcement
channels.
Therefore it is:
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1. Based on the agreement of the parties,Respondents are found in violation of the Code
as charged in Counts I and 111. The Property will be checked for compliance on December 17,
Page 4 of 7
DocN 1970700
BkU 2673 P9ft 542
2013. The parties agree that the completion of the following measures will achieve compliance
for these charges:
(a) Clear all Special or Yard Waste off Conservation Easement
portion of Lot 20, Lot 4 and County ROW.
(b) Use of Heavy Industrial Equipment on Conservation
Easement, Lot 4 and County ROW is authorized for the removal of

unloading for the removal of Special or Yard Waste shall be
permitted.
(d) All authorized commercial activities shall be confined to the
Commercial Portion of Lot 20 and conducted within the guidelines
of Development Order 2-02.
2. Based on the agreement of the parties,Respondents are found in violation of the Code
as charged in Count IV. The Property will be checked for compliance on October 4,2013. The
parties agree that compliance will be achieved with the removal of Special Waste of any kind
from County ROW and all boulders from Lot 1.
3. In the event the violations are not corrected on or before the applicable compliance
dates specified above,daily fines in the following amount,per violation,will begin to accrue on
the day after the compliance date for each noncompliance:
Count 1: 130-74(a) $250.00
Count 111: 130-94 $250.00
Count IV: 21-21(b) $250.00
4. Respondents are not in violation of Monroe County Code sections 130-94 and U 8-40
as charged in Counts 11 and V of the NOV.
5. Pursuant to section 162.07, Florida Statutes,costs in an amount to be determined at
the conclusion of this case are hereby levied for the administrative recovery of the costs of
