Lazy Lake council seeks Broward County stop-work order for unreviewed build at 20 NE 24th Street
Summary
Council members voted to request Broward County issue a Stop Work Order for construction at 20 NE 24th Street after finding the builder had removed a tree without Village authorization and had not submitted required Village applications or appeared before the council.
The Village of Lazy Lake Council directed the Village Attorney to request a Broward County Stop Work Order for construction at 20 NE 24th Street after members found the builder had not complied with Village review procedures.
Council members said Broward County had issued the building permits but that Village code requires Council review before major construction begins. Minutes note the builder did not attend despite invitations and that a tree on the site was removed without proper Village authorization. Council consensus was to ask Broward County to issue a Stop Work Order until (1) the builder submits the required Village applications and plans and (2) the builder appears before the Council to address compliance.
Motion to proceed with the Stop Work Order was passed by the council; the Village Attorney, Pamala Ryan, was tasked with issuing formal correspondence to Broward County.
Quote: "A Stop Work Order should be requested through Broward County until: 1. The builder submits the required Village Applications and plans, 2. The builder appears before the Council for review and compliance discussion." (minutes)
What’s next: the minutes record that formal correspondence will be issued to Broward County; the outcome of any county action or subsequent compliance steps was not recorded.
