This is the attorney for Rachel’s in OC Food & Beverage, LLC v. Orange County. He will understand our argument regarding Article VIII, Section 1 (j), Florida Constitutioin.
Jesse Clark and I spoke at length. It is still unclear to me whether or not he ever had a hearing before the Code Enforcement Board. But it is quite clear that he believes he was denied a permit by the Board of County Commissioners because Comm. Edwards wanted to punish him for finishing the garage after being notified by Code Enforcement that he was in violation of the code for starting the garage without a permit. I did not ask if Code Enforcement had issued a violation notice or a stop work order. And I don’t know if they even issue, or have the authority to issue, stop work orders.
