The Special Magistrate Hearing held on June 12, 2025, in Wellington, Florida, addressed multiple code compliance violations involving local properties. The meeting began with a review of ongoing violations, starting with a case concerning dead fronds and palms at a property, which had been under scrutiny since May 30, 2025. Despite previous notifications, the violations remained uncorrected. The code compliance division recommended that the respondent be found in violation of Wellington Land Development section 7.8.7.b, with a deadline of July 17, 2025, to rectify the issues or face fines of up to $25 per day. Additionally, a cease and desist order for five years was proposed, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for August 21, 2025, if compliance was not achieved.

The second case involved Lisonbee South LLC, which was cited for failing to address violations related to local business tax receipts. Despite attempts to contact the property owner, no response was received. The magistrate found the respondent in violation of Wellington Code section chapter 21 article 2, imposing a penalty that included a 25% surcharge on the business license fee, an additional $250 penalty, and costs of $11.65, all due within 30 days. A five-year cease and desist order was also issued.

The final case discussed involved Richard P. Aldrich, whose property was reported for multiple violations, including a deteriorating roof and unkempt landscaping. Despite assurances from the owner that corrections would be made, no progress was observed. The magistrate ruled that the respondent was in violation of several code sections, imposing similar penalties and a cease and desist order for five years.

Overall, the hearing underscored the village's commitment to maintaining property standards and ensuring compliance with local regulations, with strict deadlines and penalties established for non-compliance.
