Summary
At the Aug. 6 hearing the magistrate issued several enforcement orders: Macomb Brewing settled for administrative costs; DGS Living Trust, Exact Investments and a beachfront short‑term rental were ordered to comply by set deadlines with per‑day fines for noncompliance.
The City of Fernandina Beach special magistrate issued written findings and compliance orders across multiple cases during the Aug. 6, 2026 session. Key actions: Macomb Brewing (629 S. 8th St.) — city awarded administrative costs (final corrected amount $153.96) and no fine imposed by agreement; DGS Living Trust (319 S. 6th St.) — compliance ordered by Oct. 5, 2026 and $100/day fine beginning Oct. 6 for noncompliance, administrative costs $469.07; Exact Investments (Front Street) — order to correct or remove a deteriorated dock with administrative costs $182.28 and $250/day fines if not corrected; 812 S.

Magistrate Harrison Poole said written orders will be entered consistent with the oral pronouncements and that the city will receive administrative costs where awarded. Several cases involved permit or HDC timing questions that the magistrate considered when setting realistic compliance deadlines.
