This agenda item is a motion to authorize the Office of the County Attorney to enter into a proposed Agreed Final Order with Arena Capital, LLC, Arena Shoppes, LLLP, and Williams Company - Southeast ("Respondents") to resolve multiple violations of Chapter 27 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances. The violations relate to the removal of one specimen Laurel Oak tree without first obtaining a Broward County Tree Removal License; encroachment within the dripline of trees with construction materials; operation of heavy equipment within the dripline of trees; and failing to maintain protective barriers around the driplines of trees during construction activity. The violations occurred at 7300 W. McNab Road, North Lauderdale, Florida 33028.
Under the terms of the Agreed Final Order, the Respondents agree to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $4,800 and administrative costs of $300 within 30 days from the date the Agreed Final Order is rendered in the files of Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department ("EPGMD"). The Respondents also agree to install a replacement tree pursuant to and in accordance with Tree Removal License TP16-1013. The estimated cost to replace the specimen tree is $9,975.
EPGMD concurs with and recommends approval of the proposed Agreed Final Order.
If authorized by the Board, the Joint Motion for Agreed Final Order will be signed by the Office of the County Attorney and submitted to the Hearing Examiner for consideration.
