Lien Reduction - 1708 Francis Court - Case 10-1474
Submitted For:
Peggy Arraiz

SUBJECT:

Reduce code enforcement fines in the amount of $61,830.00 against 1708 Francis Court; previously owned by Bruce F. Arnold Jr., 1512 White Hall Dr., #306, Plantation, FL 33324 and currently owned by Bruce F. Arnold, Sr., 245 Meadowlark Lane, Sandpoint, ID 83864 to $1,600.00 payable at closing.

SUMMARY:

BACKGROUND: 
The violations and lien were placed on Bruce F. Arnold Jr., who then transferred the property to his father Bruce F. Arnold, Sr. without revealing the existence of the fines. In 2015 Mr. Gary Vandenbos, a neighbor, became interested in purchasing the property and did a lien search that revealed the lien to Mr. Arnold Sr. 

RECOMMENDATION:

The Code Enforcement Board heard the lien reduction request and recommends that the City Commission reduce the lien to $1,600.00 payable at closing.

Recommendation is based on:
  1. The current owner has maintained the property since taking ownership.
  2. There is a prospective local buyer whose intent is to develop the property and add value to the tax base and the community.

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Deny the request.
  2. Make alternative recommendations.

RESPONSIBLE STAFF:

Colleen Greer, Executive Secretary.

COORDINATED WITH:

Margaret Arraiz, Code Compliance Manager.
