Magistrate upholds $75 citation for boat parked in Edgewater right-of-way

City Code Enforcement Officer David Meyer told the special magistrate that on Aug. 12 he observed a recreational boat parked illegally in the right-of-way at 1624 Orange Tree Drive, citing a prior courtesy warning earlier in 2026. Meyer said photographs were taken, a citation was issued on Aug. 13 and the respondent was given until Aug. 23 to correct the violation.

Meyer reported that on Sept. 9 the boat had been removed and the property was in compliance, but staff recommended the magistrate find a violation and affirm the $75 citation. Special Magistrate Ryan Knight said he could not waive the citation after a prior courtesy warning and stated, "I am gonna uphold the citation filing amount of $75." The magistrate ordered the respondent to arrange payment with the city and noted no further fines would be assessed because the property was brought into compliance.
