AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a Resolution of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners waiving fines and
costs for code compliance case CE22010071 for real property at 31568 Avenue D, Lots 15, 16, 17,
Block 22, Big Pine Cove Subdivision, with Parcel ID number 00308540-000000, purchased by the
Monroe County Land Authority to be used for affordable housing development.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017,
causing substantial damage and loss of 4,000 residential structures. Several programs were created
utilizing State and Federal funding to purchase these types of properties when property owners did not
have the wherewithal to rebuild. These programs eliminate unsafe structures. The Board of County
Commissioners approved waiver of code fines, liens, and costs, for these types of properties, if
purchased within the grant programs.
One of these properties originally slated for acquisition under the Volunteer Home Buy Out Program, at
31568 Avenue D, Lots 15, 16, 17, Block 22, Big Pine Cove Subdivision, with Parcel ID Number
00308540-000000, is now being purchased by the Monroe County Land Authority to be used for future
affordable housing development.
Therefore, the MCLA are seeking waiver of code fines, liens, and costs for this property.
