Owner says pavers installed without permit; magistrate grants fine but allows reduction after site-plan modification
Summary
An owner told the magistrate pavers were installed without a permit and that a site-plan modification application has been pending; the magistrate granted a fine but directed a later fine-reduction hearing after approvals are issued.
In case 25-02811402 at 1402 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, the magistrate assessed a continuing fine after finding the owner had installed pavers without a building permit but acknowledged the owner had submitted a site-plan modification to planning and zoning.
Dan Splane, who identified himself as an owner representative, told the hearing: "We put down pavers without a permit, not realizing a permit was necessary to put down pavers. Once we received the code violation notice, I talked to Rob Hill. We filed an application for a permit to correct the situation... I immediately filed a site plan modification with planning and zoning on July 1." The village said it could not issue a building permit until planning's site-plan modification is adjudicated.
The magistrate said he would assess the standard daily fine while urging the owner to pursue the planning approval and then return for a fine-reduction hearing. He summarized the procedure: start the fine because the prior order required compliance by July 31, but after the village issues the permit or planning approval the owner should call code enforcement and request a reduction hearing.
Ending: The magistrate ordered the fine to run from the prior compliance date and invited the owner to return with the permit or site-plan approval for consideration of reduction.
