DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney THROUGH: Alan S. Polackwich, Sr., County Attorne5�1� And Roland DeBlois, Chief, Code Enforcemenffl;7 and Environmental Planning DATE: March 22, 2013 SUBJECTS: Permission to file suit for an Injunction against persistent code violator Stephanie Wright is the owner of a single family residence located at 2334 1St Place SW, Vero Beach. The property is located in the Ixora Park Subdivision and is Ms. Wright's homestead. She purchased the property in 2004. After persistent complaints of overgrown weeds on the property, the Code Enforcement Board entered an order imposing a fine against Ms. Wright for allowing overgrown weeds to exist on the property contrary to County Code. The Order was entered on October 27, 2008 together with a fine of $100 for each day the violation continues. According to neighbors and Code Enforcement Inspectors, the lawn has not been mowed since 2008. As of March 21, 2013, the outstanding code enforcement lien is calculated to be $160,800. The neighbors are fed up with the constant eye sore in their neighborhood. One neighbor has complained of raccoons on the Wright property and further contends that a recent rodent outbreak in a neighboring house is directly related to the condition of the Wright property. A search of the public records concerning Ms. Wright's property reveals the code enforcement lien, a water lien (dated 9/26/2008 currently in the amount of $3,695.72) but no mortgages.
