AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution, Requested by Island Construction
Management Inc. as Agent for Magnolia 101 LLC, Renouncing and Disclaiming the Right of the
Monroe County BOCC and Public to a Portion of Right-of-Way Located on a Portion of the Hibiscus
Street Right-of-Way, Bounded on the West by a Portion of the Hibiscus Street Right-of-Way Already
Abandoned in Favor of and To the Monroe County BOCC as Owner of Square 19 of the Recorded

Plat, as Shown on the Key Largo Plat of Ocean Acres, Plat Book 1, Page 188, Official Records of

ITEM BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Magnolia 101 LLC, via Island Construction Management Inc. acting as an authorized
agent, is seeking for the Monroe County BOCC to voluntarily abandon a portion of right-of-way located
on a portion of the Hibiscus Street right-of-way situated within the Key Largo Ocean Acres plat, as
recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 188, Official Records of Monroe County, Florida, which is bounded on
the west by a portion of the Hibiscus Street right-of-way already abandoned (BOCC Reso. No. 151-
2017, recorded in the Official Records of Monroe County on July 25, 2017, at Book 2866, Page 51,
Document No. 2132587) in favor of and over to the Monroe County BOCC as record owner of Square
19 of the subject plat and State of Florida as record owner of Square 22 of the subject plat, bounded on
the south by Square 23 of the subject plat, bounded on the east by Hibiscus Street right-of-way, and
bounded on the north by Square 20 of the subject plat.
The Applicant Magnolia 101 LLC is bound by the attached recorded Settlement Agreement approved
following extensive code compliance litigation against the Monroe County BOCC in which the BOCC
prevailed, and the proposed portion of public right-of-way Magnolia 101 LLC seeks abandonment of is
south of its existing permitted waste separation facility located at 215 Magnolia Street which
constitutes, under the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, a permitted
2858
light industrial use approved for a portion of Square 20 of the subject Ocean Acres plat.
The Applicant has stated "The Applicant seeks the abandonment for the following reasons: 'To expand
the current "Atlantic Trash& Transfer" property and to incorporate the area within the same zoning and
FLUM districts". In the interest of maximum clarity to the Applicant, a Board decision on whether to
abandon this portion of public right-of-way would not constitute a form of development/permitting
approval or approval of expansion of any existing permitted development. Abandonment of a portion of
a public right-of-way does not sanction violating the limits and other legal requirements of the Monroe
County Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan.
All right-of-way abandonments shall comply with the Codes and standard engineering requirements for
road, turn-around and fire-rescue access. If required for safety purposes, as determined by either Fire
Marshal or the County Engineer, a dedicated turn-around area shall be shown on the submitted survey
and shall be agreed to in writing and constructed with payment by the property owner(s)requesting
abandonment.
The attached staff report contains further details on the proposed right-of-way abandonment request.
Pursuant to Code of Ordinances Section 19-1, Monroe County Planning & Environmental Resources
Department professional staff deems this request to be eligible for a right of way abandonment that may
be approved by the Board.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
At the February 21, 2024, BOCC meeting, the BOCC set the public hearing for the proposed right-of-
way abandonment.

16 Monroe County Engineering did not require a turn-around area.
17
18 (e)A right of way may be abandoned only at the terminal portion of the road and in its full width
19 unless one of the following applies;
20 1. An adjacent lot owner has on the platted right-of-way or within a setback a substantial
21 structure which predates the Special Session Law 59-1578 pertaining to maps, plats, and
22 right-of-way. The term "substantial structure" specifically does not include wood or metal
23 fences, sheds or tiki huts or other items not listed which are accessory structures; or
24 2. The abandonment is requested by a County department or governmental agency for a public
25 use; for purposes of this subsection public use is a public facility and/or public/private utility;
26 or
27 3. The right of way area is unusual in size or shape and after abandonment the remaining right
28 of way width will be the same on both sides of the abandonment as shown in Example 1.
29
30 The proposed road abandonment is at the terminal portion of the road and is the full width.
31

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 17,2013,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!] 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.

During the final hearing,the parties reached an agreement to settle Counts I,II1,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.
FINDINGS OF 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,LLC.

2891
Doc.#2388237 Page Number:23 of 38
Doca 1970700
Bktt 2673 P94 540
2. The Property is a square parcel sometimes referred to as Lot 20. Magnolia owns three
other square parcels located near Lot 20 on Magnolia Street in Key largo, 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 Lots 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.
h. 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 near(but not on)Magnolia's Lots 1,4,and 5. Of
Magnolia'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.
1 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
2892
Doc.#2388237 Page Number:24 of 38
BkN 2673 7P9N 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 tht,
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 11 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 arc found in violation of the Code
as charged in Counts I and III. The Property will be checked for compliance on December 17,
Page 4 of 7

for these charges:
(a) Clear all Special or Yard Waste off Conservation Easement

(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

(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
j from County ROW and all boulders from Lot 1.
i3. 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

4. Respondents are not in violation of Monroe County Code sections 130-94 and 118-40
as charged in Counts li and V of the NOV.
5. Pursuant to section 162.07,Florida Statutes,costs in an amount to be determined at
