Lazy Lake council directs attorney to draft construction-hours ordinance, orders cease-and-desist over annexation talks
Summary
The Village Council instructed the village attorney to draft an ordinance to regulate construction hours (excluding Sundays) and directed her to send a cease-and-desist letter to the City of Wilton Manors regarding annexation discussions; the council approved recording a resolution with the county.
The Village of Lazy Lake Council on May 1 directed the village attorney to draft an ordinance limiting construction hours and to record a corresponding resolution with Broward County, and it ordered the attorney to send a cease-and-desist letter to the City of Wilton Manors concerning annexation discussions.
The action came during the discussion of a finalized resolution to regulate construction hours. The council instructed the Village Attorney, Pamala Ryan, to prepare an ordinance that would exclude Sundays from permitted construction hours and to arrange for the resolution to be recorded with the county clerk.
Separately, council members recorded a formal direction that the Village Attorney send a cease-and-desist letter to the City of Wilton Manors about ongoing annexation discussions. The minutes record the direction as a Council instruction; no vote count is listed for that directive.
Council members also discussed enforcement procedures: Ryan noted that Broward County Code Compliance enforces village ordinances and that enforcement of noise violations requires proof of the violation on the record. The minutes do not specify timelines for the ordinance draft, the proposed construction-hour limits, or the content or expected delivery date of the cease-and-desist letter.
The council adjourned at 8:11 p.m. after completing the agenda; the minutes do not record further action on the ordinance or the letter.
