This item concerns a code enforcement settlement for the property at 133 West Orange Street. The City of Apopka previously found the owner, David and Kathleen Cooke, in violation of city codes, with a daily fine imposed starting May 19, 2018. On April 27, 2026, David Cooke agreed to a settlement stipulation to resolve the unpaid lien for $22,000. The property is now in compliance. This matter is currently under review by the City Commission for approval. The settlement agreement itself does not involve new construction or site work, but resolves a past code violation. Local businesses involved in legal services and property management may find this item relevant as it pertains to resolving municipal code disputes and property compliance.
