Magistrate Hearing - Special Meeting

Good morning. The Special Magistrate will hear all cases on the agenda. The meeting is recorded and televised on Wellington Government Access Channel 18 and Comcast Cable.

Testimony from Wellington staff and the respondents will be under oath. Although formal rules of evidence do not apply, fundamental due process shall be observed. The Special Magistrate may ask questions of either party to determine pertinent facts. The Code Compliance Officer will present his or her case to the Special Magistrate. Service of all required notices associated with the case and all photographs presented by the Code Compliance Officer will be entered as evidence, unless otherwise disputed. Upon completion of the presentation, the respondent will have an opportunity to comment or cross-examine. The special magistrate will issue findings of facts based on the testimony presented. If the special magistrate determined there are one or more violations of Wellington codes or ordinances, he or she may issue an order requiring the respondent to correct the violation by a specific date. The Special Magistrate may also assess costs that have been incurred in the prosecution of a case. In most cases, costs assessed by the Special Magistrate are due and payable to Wellington within 30 days from the date of the hearing. Failure to remit payment as ordered may result in a lien being filed against the property. In the event the violation is not corrected by the date specified, the order will also provide a date for a fine certification hearing. No additional notice will be provided to the respondent. A lien will be filed against the property if the assessed fines are certified by the Special Magistrate. The special magistrate may also issue a cease and desist order. If issued, the respondent is placed on notice that if the same violation reoccur within five years, staff may notify the respondent of a hearing for a repeat violation. At the hearing, staff will request the magistrate assess a fine. The primary object of a hearing is not to unduly penalize anyone, but to obtain compliance with Wellington Cords and Ordinances in a timely manner. Cases where the respondents are present will be heard first. When the respondent comes to the podium, please sign in, state your name, and indicate if you have been sworn in. Please ensure all cell phones are turned off or in silent mode at this time. The Special Magistrate will now swear in all persons who will testify.

Anyone who is giving testimony today, everyone who is going to be testifying, please stand, raise your right hand, and affirm that the testimony you will give is the whole truth, the entire truth. And so help you God. And say, I do.

I do.

Thank you. So next, are there any additions or deletions from the final agenda for today's code enforcement hearing?

We have none.

OK, so then we are going to proceed with the agenda as presented.

Yeah, we request consent to be approved. Okay.

So, let me ask you this, because I have not been here for quite a few years. Is it the current practice and custom for the consent to be read out at all, or it's simply because if it's already published on the agenda, there's no additional reading of the cases?

Correct.

All right. Okay. So, if there is no objection and no deletions, the consent items 1 through One through 39 on today's agenda are hereby approved.

On March 8, 2026, staff had emailed the property owner regarding the remaining expired permit. On April 14, 2026, I received a call from a representative, Mr. Dornblazer. When returning their call, my call was sent to voicemail. On June 10th, 2026, I spoke to Mr. Dornblazer regarding the remaining expired permits. He acknowledged and stated that they were having a change of contractor to submit a form for permit BP22-4915 and that he would contact the contractor responsible for BP24-1772 to renew the permit. On September 16th, 2026, I spoke with Mr. Dornblazer regarding the renewal requirement for BP 24-1772. No further contact has been received.

Okay.

Based on the testimony which has been heard and is unrebutted and all the evidence and record that has been entered and otherwise I do find that there is a building permit violation here. Code sections 5-1, 101.5. The respondents are afforded until the date of October 13th to cure or correct such violations. If they do not do so, a fine of $50 per day per diem will be imposed starting on that date until, You know, there is correction. The costs incurred of $15.34 are hereby assessed.

No further notice need be given of that particular flying certification hearing.

Was there anything else relative to this case? For the correction date, it's actually for October 15th, not the 13th.

It's actually for OK. So the correction date will be October 15th, not 13th, October 15th. And the $50 per day fine will commence on that date if there has not been correction. It is so ordered. Thank you. Thank you.

We're going to move to item number five under fine certification, NOHCC.

NOHCC 1038-2026. Nicholas Christopher is the code officer.

This is Attilo M. Holdings, LLC? Correct. Okay. You may proceed, please. Good morning. Name, title, so forth.

Good morning. Code Officer Nicholas Christoffel with the Village of Wellington presenting case number NOH-CC-1038-2026. Respondent name, Attilo M. Holdings, LLC. Property address, 13302 Doubletree Circle, Wellington, Florida. Hearing date was on July 16th, 2026. The respondent was ordered to correct the violation of Wellington Code Section 5-1, 105.1, no building permit obtained for 26-0607, 26-0610, and 26-0619 on or before August 20th, 2026, or pay a fine not to exceed $50 per day. The order also scheduled a fine certification hearing on September 17th, 2026, if the co-compliance division was not contacted as required and or the violation was not corrected.

What was the date that you told me that was given in the earlier hearing for? Oh, for the correction date?

Yes, for the correction. That was August 20th, 2026.

Presumably there has been no correction and no contact.

Well, an inspection on August 21st, 2026 found the property still in violation of Wellington Code Section 5-1, 105.1. For the stopper quarters 26-0610 and 26-0609, those were voided. However, a permit has not been obtained for the remaining stopper quarter 26-0607.

And a permit is, of course, required for that. Correct.

Okay.

So the city's recommendation on this is that from August 20th, there be a certification of the $50 per day fine?

Well, we have a, let's see, well, also Pace Research found the respondent does not have a pending bankruptcy action or less pendants filed against this property. just in terms of contact with the representative. On April 9th, 2026, an email was sent out to the property manager regarding the permit requirement. On April 20th.

Was there any response or any conversation?

Well, further going in, a door hanger was left at the property on April 21st, 2026. On May 13th, 2026, I received a voicemail from Tony Maurizio. On May 14th, I spoke with Mr. Maurizio and discussed the stopper quarters. From there, we coordinated an onsite meeting with one of the building inspectors who was able to get two of the stop-work orders voided at that time and explained the permit requirement to their realtor who was onsite as a representative at that time. Continuing from there, I emailed a stipulation agreement for Mr. Maurizio to sign if needed. On July 7th, 2026, Mr. Maurizio submitted the signed and notarized stipulation agreement. On September 14th, I spoke with him via email just regarding the permit requirement. This morning, I received an email from Mr. Maurizio stating that his contractor had submitted a permit application to his knowledge. However, when verifying with the building department, we did not have an application on file.

And you would necessarily have had an application on file if they had applied? Correct. Okay. Go ahead.

So the Code Compliance Division recommends the respondent be found in violation of the Order 5-1, 105.5, or sorry, 5-1, 105.1, and that the respondent be assessed a fine pursuant to Section 2-38A2 of the Code of Ordinances and Section 162.092B of the Florida Statutes in determining the amount of the fine. The special magistrate must consider the following factors. the gravity of the violation, any action taken by the violator to correct the violation, and any previous violations of the same code section committed by the violator on the same property. As to the gravity of the violation, interior renovations were conducted without the issuance of a permit. As to the actions taken by the violator to correct the violation, a permit has not been obtained for 26-0607. As to any previous violations of the same code section committed by the violator on the same property, there is no prior record. Based on these factors, the Code Compliance Division recommends that the respondent is assessed a fine in the amount of $50 per day commencing on August 21st, 2026, and in addition to costs in the amount of $46.70, which does include costs assessed in the order, both continuing to accrue until the violation is corrected.

Would you repeat the cost amount?

Cost incurred is $46.70.

Any other relief being requested by the city? No, I do not believe so.

OK.

Taking into account the testimony and the evidence and taking administrative notice of the prior order entered in this case, I find, and considering the factors set forth in the Florida statutes and the code for the fine certification, I find that it is appropriate to adjudicate a fine of $50 per day accruing from August 21st 2026 and each day thereafter for a violation of the prior order, which has not been corrected, and costs of $46.70 are hereby incurred. And indeed, as was found in the earlier order, which is again administratively noticed, there was a violation and there is continuing a violation of 5.5.101.1 of the code. Sound accurate? Mm-hmm. Okay. So it is so ordered in this particular fine certification, case number five.

All right. We're going to move to item number six on the fine certification, NOHCC 1250-2026. Nicholas Christopher is the code officer.

So this is... The case involving Southfields Star LLC? Correct.

On April 17th, 2026, an email was sent to the property manager regarding the permit requirements. On May 11th, 2026, a door hanger was left at the property. On June 5th, 2026, I spoke with Mr. Noll, the property manager, regarding the code case and emailed him a summary of the remaining expired permits.

Having heard the testimony and the evidence submitted, which is unrebutted, and taking administrative notice of the prior order, There is a violation of 5-1, 101.5 of the code taking into account the factors prescribed for fine certification I hereby do find that the violation merits a fine certification for $50 per day fine commencing on August 21st of 2026 and continuing each day thereafter and a cost in the amount of $46.70 incurred by the village relative to enforcement and related matters are hereby

Good morning. Julia Coulter, Village of Wellington Co-Compliance Officer. Case number NOHCC 2142-2025. Respondent names is Eric Scott McCumber and Jocelyn Bailey McCumber. Property address is 1029 Larch Way, Wellington, Florida. Hearing date was March 19, 2026.

The order was scheduled a... The order also scheduled a fine certification hearing on May 21, 2026, if the co-compliance division was not contacted or required and or the violation was not corrected.

A PACES search found the respondent does have a pending bankruptcy action and a Liz pendants filed against this property.

I just want to be sure. Did you say does?

Does. They have a pending bankruptcy action and a Liz pendants filed. Okay.

Well, it's beyond our scope to adjudicate here today in my view, but that. Right. I was going to say that and it's already anticipated in a proposed order that if there's any impact on this by a federal bankruptcy proceeding discharge or anything like that, if that's the case, if applicable, it would be conceivably subject to that. But it does not mean we cannot proceed and go ahead and adjudicate it. It depends on what the bankruptcy proceeding involves and what it decides. So go ahead. Go ahead.

Contact with the representative or owner. An email was sent on August 31st asking to provide an update on the required replacement plan from Planning and Zoning. On September 2nd, I sent a follow up email to see if the previous email was sent and if they had any questions. An email was received on September 3rd stating that there were no questions, everything was sent in, and they needed more time to slowly come into compliance. I emailed back stating an email was sent on July 15th from the Planning and Zoning Department on an update on the replacement plan. On September 10th, I was able to speak with Mr. McCumber while leaving a door hanger. I informed him that we haven't received contact since our last email was sent. Time can't be given as no contact has been made. Mr. McCumber let me know that he's been to nurseries looking at trees. He noted that he would see Ms. McCumber later and would let her know to email us. An email was sent out on September 14th to please see the email that was sent in July as again, no contact has been received. An email was sent on September 16th with an updated plan. Planning and zoning responded to the email asking for a date when the replacement will be done, completed by. The co-compliance division recommends the respondent be found in violation of the order Wellington Land Development Regulation Section 7.8.2.83G and that the respondent be assessed a fine pursuant to Section 2-3A. of the Code of Ordinance and section 162.09 of the Florida statutes. In determining the amount of the fine, the special magistrate must consider the following factors. One, the gravity of the violation. Two, any actions taken by the violator to correct the violations and three any previous violations of the same code section committed by the violator on the same day as to the gravity of the violation the violation has an impact on the aesthetic of the neighborhood as to the actions taken by the violator to correct the violation plans have been placed in front of the property and plant and the planter inside the planter box an updated replacement plan has been submitted As to previous violations as the same code section committed by the violator on the same property, no code case with similar violations have been opened. Based on these factors, the Code Compliance Division recommends that the respondent be assessed a fine in the amount of $25 per day commencing on June 19, 2026, in addition to costs in the amount of 48 dollars and 13 cents which does include costs assessed in the order both continuing to occur until the violation is corrected officers or anything else you want to say at this time relative to this case I do. So we did receive an email with an updated replacement plan that we've asked for in July. They also asked for additional time. However, because of the length of the case, it's hard to justify.

There had been a prior extension given.

Yes. The case has been open since April of last year.

So no, at the time that this last request for additional time or further extension was requested, the respondents were not told that it would be granted, right? They're not under the impression that they were going to get any more time.

I don't believe so. I'm confused about your question.

They asked for more time. You said that they asked for more time. I'm just trying to determine.

Because we haven't received any contact, it's hard to determine that due to their circumstances. It's understandable, but we haven't received any contact from them until yesterday.

Okay. My question is very simple. I think you answered it, but just to be clear that no further extensions, no further time was granted to them. No. That's all I'm trying to. No.

Okay.

All right. That's it. That was my question.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize.

It's fine. Based upon the testimony and the evidence of record, which is unrebutted, I hereby take administrative notice of the earlier order. There is still a violation of the earlier order in that certain landscaping hedge requirements and related matters have not been maintained or are not in compliance with code in violation of Wellington Land Development Regulation 7-8, 8.2. A fine of $25 per day is hereby assessed effective on June 19, 2026. And each day thereafter, the village's costs of $48.13 relative to this matter are also hereby assessed. And again, it will be simply mentioned or noted in the order You know, there may be some impact by bankruptcy proceedings or not. We don't know. But, you know, notice is taken of that proceeding as well. And it is so ordered in fine certification case number one.

Can we request that the fines start on August 21st due to previous extensions entered, providing them until August 20th?

The order is hereby corrected that in light of a prior extension that had been given, a good point, that the $25 per day fine will actually commence on August 21st. 2026, so it's not going to be June 19th. It's going to be August 21st, 2026, and each day thereafter due to, correct, the earlier extension granted. Thank you. Sure.

Thank you. Have a great day.

The order also scheduled a fine certification hearing on September 17, 2026, if the Code Compliance Division was not contacted as required and or the violation was not corrected. An inspection on August 24th, 2026 found the property still in violation of Wellington Code Sections 13-2.B.1, 13-2.B.2, and Wellington Land Development Regulations Section 7.8.7.B. Wellington Code Section 13-3.B.1 has been corrected. A follow-up inspection on September 9th, 2026 found the violations still exist. photos were taken that represent the condition of the property at the various times of inspections I request the photos be entered in as evidence the photographic evidence is hereby admitted into evidence and made part of the record A PACER search was found. The respondent does not have pending bankruptcy action or a list pendants filed against this property. Contact with the representative. On May 13, 2026, a door hanger was left at the property. No response was given. A phone call from a neighbor informed us that the property owner is deceased. The Code Compliance Division recommends the respondent be found in violation of the order, Wellington Code Sections 13-2.b.1, 13-2.b.2, and Wellington Land Development Regulations Section 7.8.7.b, and that the respondent be assessed to find pursuant to Section 2-38 of the Code of Ordinances and Section 162.09 of Florida statutes. In determining the amount of the fine, the special magistrate must consider the following factors. One, the gravity of violation. Two, any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation. And three, any previous violations of the same code section committed by the violator on the same property. As to the gravity of the violation, the violations on the property affect the value of the neighboring properties. As to the action taken by the violator to correct the violation, no action has or can be taken. As to any previous violations of the same code section committed by the violator on the same property, these are the first violations of these codes on the property. Based on these factors, the Code Confiance Division recommends that the respondent is assessed a fine in the amount of $25 per day per violation, commencing on August 21, 2026, and in addition to costs in the amount of $48.13. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Would you go a little slower and repeat the date? Start with the $25 per day per violation. Just go a little bit slower.

Commencing on August 21, 2026, and in addition to costs in the amount of $48.13, which does include costs assessed in the order, both continuing to accrue until the violations are corrected.

OK, thank you. One thing I want to be clear on is $25 per day per violation. There's currently, correct me if I'm wrong, two violations. Three. Three. So there's three remaining. One that was cured was, but one was cured. Right. But even with the one that was cured, there's three that are still outstanding. That's what I'm getting at. Is it three or two? I just want to be sure.

Yeah, there's three. 13-2.b.1, 13-2.b.2, and 7.8.7.b. Okay. So the recommendation is $25 per day for each? Correct. Okay.

And the one that was corrected, that you mentioned in your testimony, is not being included?

No. Okay. 13-3.b.1 is corrected. And is not included? Correct.

All right. That's what I wanted clarification on. Okay. Is there anything else relative to this case, officer, you want to say?

No. Okay.

based on the testimony and the evidence of record which is unrebutted and taking administrative notice of the earlier order which there is a violation of I hereby find that it is merited under the factors for the three violations that still exists on the property involving subsections of Wellington Code 13-2, two separate ones, and Land Development Code 7.8 that there be assessed a $25 per day per violation, and we're talking three violations, so it's $25 per day times three for each of these separate violations. On this property, commencing on the date of August 21st, 2026, and accruing daily thereafter until correction, costs incurred by the village relative to enforcement of $48.13 are hereby assessed.

Is there anything else, officer, you want to say relative to this case? No, sir. I have a question, technical question really for anyone. on the first violation that was discussed, 13-2B1, which involved the roof and the mailbox. Again, for the record, I want to be very clear. The roof was corrected, but the mailbox has not been?

Correct. The roof, the trim, the walls, they all fall under 13-2.B.1. Those items were corrected. So the only remaining for that code was the mailbox.

So my question is, as to that particular violation, do I have any latitude as to the $25? Because I realize that, you know, they're each separate violations. But to me, in all candor, it seems that the majority of that first violation was corrected. So I do have discretion. Yes, sir. Okay. For this particular matter, I do find, as outlined by the testimony and by the evidence of record, all unrebutted, that there is a violation of 13-2 , 13-2 of the code. land development regulation seven point eight point two a through G vegetation six four one a one BB fence the violator is given till October 15th of 2026 to correct Thereafter, a daily fine will accrue for the first violation, which, as I understand it, again, just to be clear, correct me if I'm wrong, the thing that still continues to be in violation on the first violation is the mailbox. Correct. So for the mailbox, the daily fine will be $10 a day until corrected. And for the other violations of 13-2B2, driveway and sidewalk, and the land development regulations involving the vegetation and fence, will be $25 a day until there.

The vegetation was addressed. The only two that's left was the mailbox and 13-2.B, which is the sidewalk. Okay.

OK. So the vegetation was addressed. Thank you for clarifying. It was addressed. OK. So all that is left is 13. And again, now is the time to be just super clear on this. It's 13-2B1, which is the mailbox, and 13-2B2, which is the driveway and the sidewalk. Am I correct?

So the driveway was clean, but the sidewalk still remains.

OK. Yeah, that's correct. Those were both cited, so they're sort of hand-in-hand, right? Correct. Okay. And the, excuse me if I didn't, but the land development regulations as to the vegetation and the fence were corrected. Correct. Okay. So, this order will provide that the violator has as to the two remaining violations, 13-2-B1 and 13-2-B2, until October 15th, 2026 to correct. If not, for the violation involving the mailbox, 13-2B1, there will be a per diem per day of $10 per day thereafter until there's correction.

I have a question based on the observation of the photographs. I see the hedge violation very clearly. But here, just for my edification, for my education, the vegetation violation is such that what? Explain it to me in plain terms because I...

I'll go back one picture. So pretty much those two big open areas of the wall require some type of vegetation or ground cover. So in between those Eureka palms and in front of that window to the left. So even if they put two plants, two small hedges, that will satisfy the code.

So it's the fact that the code requires that in that area on the left, there be some kind of planning, some kind of vegetation, just not left barren. Correct. And that's clearly required by the code. Yes.

Okay.

That's just what I needed to know. All right. Thank you. Anything else? No, sir. All right. Based on the testimony and the evidence presented, I do find that there's a violation of the earlier order and that there continues to be a violation of land development regulations, LDRs 6-4-1-8. 5M and 782A sub G of the land development regulations. A fine of $25 per day per violation. So here we're talking the two violations just discussed. So it's 25 times 2, commencing on August 21, 2026. It's hereby assessed to continue to accrue until either one or both are resolved. Costs of $46.70 are assessed, and administrative notice is taken of the earlier order, which is there's a violation thereof. Thank you.

I'm sorry, 13-3.b.2. and the respondent be assessed of fine in pursuant to 2-3 8 8 2 of the code of ordinance and section 162.09 to be of the Florida statutes. In determining the amount of the fines, special magistrate must consider the following factors.

My question on this one is, I see the violation. It's not that, but this is, to me, it's a repeat violator in that it's the same violation on the same property within a relatively short period of time, when you have had anyone, when you've had the repeat violations, has the magistrate in certain instances imposed greater than the recommended amount?

On this particular one, we haven't noticed. We didn't have a previous order for it to be a repeat violator.

Okay, so you didn't have that. Okay, now that answers the question.

Yes, if it was an actual repeat violator, yes, we do.

Yes, you do. But in this order, it wasn't reported or written up as such in the earlier order.

Right, but there wasn't an order in that previous case. They corrected it in that.

Okay. Super crystal clear to me now.

There was no order. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Elizabeth.

Okay, based on the testimony and based on the evidence that's been accepted into the record, which is unrebutted, I find that there is a violation of the earlier order, which administrative notice is taken of. There is a violation of 13-3B2 of the city code. A fine of $25 per day is hereby assessed effective August 21st of 2026. until uh you know this matter is resolved uh costs incurred by the village relative to this matter of 48.13 are hereby assessed and it is so ordered that brings us to the end of the agenda okay Is there any other matters that come before the magistrate today? No, sir.

That's it.

Okay. I want to thank the staff very much for their help. And the staff, my recollection, is always well prepared here. So thank you. And, you know, that will conclude our business for the day, I suppose. Thanks.
