The City is requesting the Respondent(s) be found guilty of violating CC, Chapter
38 Section 38-141 High Grass & Weeds. We ask that the Respondent(s) be given 5
days to come into compliance after the Receipt of Final Orders. If the property
does not come into compliance, we ask that the City of Longwood be granted an
Order to enter the property and remedy this violation, as it is in such condition
that it causes serious threat to the public safety, health, and welfare of
surrounding occupied properties. The City also asks that an administrative cost of
$234.86 be imposed and to be paid within 30 days of Receipt of Final Orders. The
administrative cost is based on the Cost Recovery worksheet which was submitted
into evidence.
Special Magistrate Goodblatt asked questions of CEO Gelm.
The Special Magistrate made her findings in that service was properly made on
the respondent property owner, David Faubel. The property is not in compliance
with CC, Chapter 38 Section 38-141 High Grass and Weeds in that the grass and
weeds are in excess of ten inches. Such condition of the property•may cause it to
be infested with vermin, mosquitos or wild animals. To come into compliance the
