Request to partially reduce Building Department violation lien in the amount of $19,500.00, currently accruing, against 1222 Avenue G, Ft. Pierce, Florida 34950- Parcel ID Number 2404-442-0011-000-4 owned by McNair Empire LLC, 5259 NW South Lovett Cir, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986 encumbering all properties within St. Lucie County owned by McNair Empire LLC, to partially release the encumbered property located at 6605 Salerno Rd, Fort Pierce, FL 34951 upon payment of $500.00 payable in 30 days. 

The request for a partial release of lien is being made by Mr. McNair, the owner of the property.  Mr. McNair would like to make repairs to comply the violation at 1222 Avenue G; however, he is financially unable to do so until the property located at 6605 Salerno Road is sold.  At that time profits from the sale will be used to make repairs at 1222 Avenue G.

Mr. McNair's request is to release the lien against 6605 Salerno Rd, Fort Pierce, FL 34951 upon payment of $500.00 within 30 days.  The partial release would have no affect on the accruing lien against 1222 Avenue G or any other properties within St. Lucie County encumbered by the lien.

The Special Magistrate, having heard the request of the owner and testimony from staff, recommends partially releasing the lien against 6605 Salerno Road upon payment of $500.00 made within 30 days.  If not paid within the 30 day period, the lien against 6605 Salerno Road will not be released.  The settlement amount represents the administration costs as follows:
 

Hard Costs (Postage, filing fees, photos)	$59.24
Case Processing (months open / inspections)	$40.76
Hearing Costs	$150.00
City Commission Hearing	$250.00

Deny the request.
Make alternative recommendations.
