Magistrate orders cleanup and sets $250/day fine for unresolved maintenance issues at 11 Coconut Lane
Summary
The magistrate found repeat maintenance and drainage violations at 11 Coconut Lane, ordered the property owner to fix clogged right-of-way drainage and remove a mailbox post by August 7, 2026, and set a $250-per-day fine for continued noncompliance; administrative costs were also assessed.
Steve Sheehan testified that the drainage structure in the right-of-way at 11 Coconut Lane was clogged by vegetation and that a disused mailbox post remained in the right-of-way; staff characterized the case as a repeat maintenance violation. Sheehan said stagnant water posed a nuisance and required clearing of vegetation and obstruction removal to restore drainage.
The magistrate found violations of the town's maintenance and appearance code sections (30-173 and 34-162), ordered that the property be brought into compliance by 08/07/2026 and set a $250 per day fine for each day the violations continued thereafter; the magistrate also assessed administrative costs of $314 for the hearing. Staff indicated the notice of violation had been hand-delivered and a witness at the hearing corroborated delivery.
