Lazy Lake seeks stop‑work order after unauthorized tree removal at 20 NE 24th Street
Summary
After finding that a builder removed a tree without Village authorization and had not submitted required Village applications, the council asked Broward County to issue a Stop Work Order for 20 NE 24th Street and directed the Village Attorney to send formal correspondence.
The Village Council of Lazy Lake reached consensus on Sept. 24 to request a Stop Work Order from Broward County for construction at 20 NE 24th Street after the builder removed a tree without Village authorization and had not submitted required Village land‑use applications.
Council members said Broward County had issued building permits for the project but that the village's code requires council review before major construction begins. The council voted to request the county issue a Stop Work Order until two conditions are met: the builder submits the required Village applications and plans, and the builder appears before the council for review and compliance discussion. The Village Attorney was directed to send formal correspondence to Broward County to request the stop order.
The minutes state the motion to proceed with the stop order passed; the record does not identify who made or seconded the motion. The council's action is procedural and depends on Broward County's authority over building permits and enforcement.
