Broward County addresses multiple property violations during compliance hearing

The Cooper City Special Magistrate Code Enforcement meeting held on May 7, 2025, addressed several property violations, focusing on tree abuse and improper parking of commercial vehicles.

One significant case involved Daniel and Donna Velovisianus, whose property at 11357 Southwest 50 Ninth Street was cited for tree abuse under violation 18-8. The magistrate confirmed that service was completed via certified and regular mail, and since no payment or appeal was submitted, a $150 administrative fee was certified.

Another case discussed was that of Golden Arrow Import Export LLC, located at 3611 Northwest 100 Avenue. The company faced a violation for tree removal without a permit. However, the permit was pulled shortly after the violation, leading the inspector to recommend dismissing the case without fines.

Additional cases included multiple citations for parking violations related to commercial vehicles, RVs, and boats. Notably, citations were issued to Louis C. and Anna Gunton, Scott Bedner, Brian K. Sokolowski and Nancy R. Gomez, John Thompson, and Kaylee Hermelin and James Myers. All these cases involved service via certified mail, and none of the cited parties submitted appeals or paid their fines, which ranged from $100 to $150 in administrative fees.

The meeting concluded with the certification of fines for these violations, emphasizing the city's ongoing efforts to enforce compliance with local codes and maintain community standards.
