Lien Reduction Stipulation
1. On December 7, 2017, the City first issued a Notice of Violation to Respondent,
Spirit CV Okeechobee, FL, LLC, for violations of the Code of Ordinances resulting from
overgrown vegetation and yard trash at Respondent's property located at 106 N Parrot Avenue,
Okeechobee, Florida, which is leased to and operated by CVS.
2. On February 16, 2018, the City issued a Lien/Order against Respondent for
violations of the Code of Ordinances, Section 30-43 Public Nuisance, Section 30-44 General
Cleaning, and Section 90-531, General Landscaping.
3. On October 30, 2019, the City sent a letter to Respondent stating that, although
the property is now in compliance, $24,550 is due in fines for past violations.
4. Respondent requests that the lien be reduced to $12,275, which is 50% of the
original fine for the reasons stated in the letter attached and incorporated into this Stipulation as
Exhibit A.
5. Respondent wishes to settle this matter and Respondent's attorney has requested
that he be allowed to appear at the Code Enforcement Magistrate hearing, if required, via
telephone or other communications media technology as a result of health conditions creating
greater susceptibility to the existing COVID-19 pandemic.
6. City staff agrees that Respondent has demonstrated good cause for the lien
reduction and recommends that the City accept Respondent's request for lien reduction.
7. City staff will present this matter to the Code Enforcement Magistrate at a
regularly scheduled code enforcement hearing and will present it to the City Council at a
regularly scheduled City Council meeting following the Code Enforcement Hearing, with the
recommendation to approve this stipulation with the requirement that the reduced lien amount be
paid to the City within 60 days of the City Council meeting.
