Island Shores Club demolition confirmed compliant; magistrate to enter dismissal for unsafe-building appeal
Special Magistrate John Van Laningham accepted evidence that demolition and cleanup at 131133 Estero Boulevard – formerly the Island Shores Club – is complete and said he will sign an order closing the code-enforcement and building-official appeal matters once the parties submit an agreed form.

Town Attorney Nancy Stupridge told the magistrate that inspectors confirmed demolition and that the town received the $250 administrative fee in advance. Samantha Encalada, the property owner’s attorney, filed an affidavit of compliance showing that required work was finished on April 30, before the magistrate’s compliance deadline.

Encalada asked the magistrate to enter an order of compliance and dismiss the pending building official appeal because the unsafe structure no longer exists. Van Laningham said he was willing to sign an agreed order and instructed the parties to file a proposed order for his signature.

With those matters resolved, the magistrate closed the cases on the record and scheduled no further action other than filing the agreed documents.
