Ganam Properties given 30‑day extension after partial abatement at 1240 Estero Boulevard
Summary
After the owner of 1240 Estero Boulevard took steps to address a pool‑safety concern (filling the pool and removing debris), the magistrate granted a 30‑day extension to obtain a required demolition permit, assessed a $250 administrative cost and postponed daily fines while the owner pursues the permit.
Fort Myers Beach code enforcement reported that Ganam Properties LLC had taken significant steps to abate immediate safety concerns at 1240 Estero Boulevard — including filling an in‑ground pool with rock or gravel and clearing debris — but remained out of full compliance because a demo permit was required.
Officer Robin presented the reinspection and recommended a $250 administrative fee for the status hearing but said no daily fines were being sought at this time because the property owner had been cooperative and responsive. Counsel Michael Randolph said he had been authorized to apply for the required permit and that the owner had been slow to receive notice because the notice had gone to an out‑of‑state company address.
Magistrate Monica Schmucker granted the town’s request to assess the $250 cost for bringing the matter to the hearing and extended the deadline for completing the permit process by 30 days. Magistrate Schmucker said the case need not return for status unless the parties request it or fines or an order of compliance are required.
Why it matters: The town accepted partial abatement of the immediate safety concern and gave the owner time to complete permitting steps, reducing immediate enforcement pressure while preserving town authority to act if a permit is not obtained.
The written order will reflect the 30‑day extension and the assessed cost.
