Summary

After finding continued violations at a vacant structure at 8000 Lagoon Road owned by Open Doors for You Investment LLC, the magistrate set a June 17, 2026 compliance date to board doors and windows and ordered $250-per-day fines to begin June 18 if the structure is not secured.

Marshall Travis, a code enforcement officer, told the special magistrate on June 2 that his reinspection of 8000 Lagoon Road found the property remained open and in violation despite prior notice. Exhibits included a notice of violation and photographs dated April and May 2026.

Travis said Open Doors for You Investment LLC was previously given 30 days to comply and that the structure’s doors and windows remained unsecured. The town sought an administrative fee ($250), boarding of doors and windows (which does not require a permit), and daily fines of $250 until the property is secured.

The magistrate noted a case-number typo on the notice (the record showed 2026 where it should be 2025), corrected the timeline and set a new 15-day compliance date of June 17, 2026 to secure the property. He ordered a daily fine of $250 to begin on June 18, 2026 if the property remained unsecured and assessed administrative costs.

The magistrate will issue written orders formalizing the deadlines and fines; the town will seek confirmation the doors and windows are boarded to meet the compliance standard.
