morning everyone recall this the Charlotte County Code and enforcement special magistrate hearing for May 7th 2025 to order. Good morning everyone thank you for coming I'm going to walk you through with a little bit of a primer of what what the process is going to be today. And then hopefully it'll be a little self evident butident, but I want you all take your time, understand what the process is, it's going to make it easier for you to understand what's happening, what your options are, and how to proceed during the hearing. So you have received either a notice of violation, notice of hearing, or notice of an affidavit of noncompliance in the mail. And that tells you that your property has been cited by the county and has alleged to be in violation. Today's hearing is gonna go in three parts. The first part will be conflict cases. These are cases that, because of either myself or my firm has represented one of the parties in before. I'll turn those cases over to Magistrate Bernsen to handle. That will be the first part of today's hearing. Second, we're going to go to the consent agenda and those items are affidavits non-compliance. But those cases refer to our properties that have been found in violation of either Florida building code The international property maintenance code or the Charlotte County code laws and ordinances Those those properties were heard by myself or another special magistrate at a previous hearing and Order was imposed finding that the properties were in violation and given time to correct If the properties were not brought into compliance by the time originally stated in that order, the county goes out, reinspects the properties, indicates whether or not the properties in violation, they file an affidavit that gets presented to myself to indicate that the property is still in violation or was in violation at the time of the order. If that's what you're here for, understand this. The case has already been litigated essentially. The issue of the violation has already been found. What I will consider is what mitigating circumstances have occurred since that violation. What steps you have taken to bring the property into compliance. What additional steps you need to do to bring the property into compliance. Otherwise, I'm going to find per the original order that the property was still in violation and imposed fines accordingly. If you are here for the new business cases on the agenda, that these are cases of first impression. That means that there has been a complaint alleged against your property for violation. And those cases I'll ask you as with the others to come up to the podium. But in each case, whether you're here for a new one or for the affidavits noncompliance, it's very incumbent on you to understand the process. It is the county who has the burden of proof to show that the property is in fact in violation or continues to be in violation. So I'll ask for your name to confirm that you're the property owner, but you do not have to say anything. You do not have to provide any evidence. Let the county come up, the co-inforcement officer will present testimonial documentation or photographs to try to prove to me that the property is in violation. If I find that the evidence the county presents is insufficient to show a violation, the case is dismissed. And you don't have to add anything. If I find that the county has made a prima facie case that the property is in violation, for instance, violation for high grass And I see pictures taken and dated and testimony of the officer indicating that on this date he went out to the property and I can see three feet of grass in the front yard. I'm going to assume there was a violation. At which point I would ask you as the property owner to indicate me and to rebut that evidence to say that's not my property, which happens from time to time. I had mitigating circumstances. I was in the hospital. There was an issue. I have since cleaned the property up. Here are photos of the property today. This is the kind of evidence that would rebut the county's case and allow me to not find the property in violation. If the violation is more substantial than that, it is something that requires additional work. You require additional time. Florida allows me the time to provide an order that gives you reasonable time to bring the property into compliance. So for in the instance of high grass, reasonable time would be a fairly quick turnaround to cut the grass. But if the issue was junk like conditions, and there are four boats in your backyard that washed up after the hurricane, and it's going to take you some time to get those boats removed, I'm going to give you that additional time. So what I ask you as the property owner is, do understand the issue that the county's raised what steps are you planning to take to resolve the issue and how much time do you need and if it's reasonable I will grant you that additional time. The power vested in me by State of Florida and Charlotte County Codes would authorize me also to lean the property, to impose daily fines that would run from the date that I give for the property we brought into compliance to essentially encourage you to clean the property up. Now, as you'll see with some of the cases here, at the end of the day, if the property gets brought into compliance and even if there are fines that have accrued, you have a process with the county to reduce the fines. Come in and say, I've now brought the property into compliance. I have $5,000 in fines. I would like to reduce that and the county will reduce it. The goal here is compliance to bring things into compliance. It's not to make money for the county, but that is to encourage you to bring the property into compliance. Now in some cases, there will be requests by the county for them to mitigate the property, which is for the county to, if it's junk like conditions, saying there are several broken down vehicles, as I mentioned earlier. The county asks for the permission to go out there and have those vehicles towed. Those are costs that are borne by the taxpayers, borne by your neighbors to clean up the property. Those costs cannot be reduced. So those fines would continue to apply against the property and would become a lien on the property. So now that I've said all that, you will see as the process goes forward how that works out and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. So I'm going to turn the case over at this point after swearing in. Sorry, I'm not swearing at you. I'm going to ask everyone please stand, even if you're here and supporting someone and you're not sure that you're going're gonna speak you may find that you have some relevant information please stand we sworn in. Do you solemnly swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is so please answer I do. Thank you all very much and just a reminder if you haven't checked in the back please do we're calling these cases out of order so that we can get you on with the rest of your day. All right. Mr. Bernson. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you. All right we have two different types of cases we have the notice of violation of noncompliance cases and then new cases of first impression. First case we're gonna hear is COD-23-01735. It's the first matter under the conflict cases. Is there someone present for that case? Let me see in the window. Good morning. Can you state your name for the record? Michael P. Hamons and I'm here representing the proper record and the underlying principal owners. Okay. Okay. County. Jason Cechelinski Certified Code Officer Charlotte County. Property address is 11040 Pine Trail Road. Own of the property is Promomp Records Service in Sales Inc. Case number COD 2301735. The case was heard by the magistrate April 4th, 2024 for violations per ev'ry to use in junk like condition. I reinspected the property on February 24th, 2025. Found the violations still exist. This is a second ANC, which is a 30-day fine of $9,020. It's a 90-day fine correct. 90-day fine sorry. Okay. Mr. Hamins. Good morning. Thank you. We have been, it's been drug out. There's no doubt about that. We have been working toward resolving the resolution as to go through a small scale plan amendment and a plan development rezoning in order to bring the property, this property and adjacent the next case into compliance. There's been delays that were because of inability to find an engineer. We finally have Southwest Florida engineering. They have the, I've received drawings, graphics that support the application. We're in the last throws of getting the application in. We had delays that had to do with hurricanes this past fall. And we've had a concomitant issue about a rebuilding of a building that was destroyed in Hurricane Ian. And that we had meetings with the staff, Charlotte County to say we'd like to do the building first and then we bring the the plan development and comp plan in and that was an agreed process and we've been working with in the last throws of the architectural review on the building itself some wrong doors got sent so that they're the wrong colors and and that building is about to be rebuilt and this process will move forward. The underlying storm, water, drainage issues are being, for the building or being resolved. And this, they are tied together. We are working at it. It has taken more time than we anticipated But we're moving toward it All right Well, unfortunately this has been going on. I see the first notice went out in September of 2023 I'm going to uphold the county's request and issue a fine in the amount of $9,020 Thank you. I understand. And you're representing the next case as well. Yes, all the same testimony, I suspect all the same outcome. All right.

We're going to skip to the fourth case under the conflict agenda. It's PUO 24, 002, Dustin Donahue, and Brianna Donahue. Please come up to the microphone and state your name. Dustin Donahue. And you will wear someone in. Yes sir. Okay. We'll start with the county. They're going to give their testimony. You'll have the opportunity to ask them questions. After the county's done, then you can present your information. Good morning Gary. We're on a horse certified code Charter of County. Location of properties, 1405, Salthstone Drive. There's a finding effect on September 4th, 2024. I did an inspection on March 12th, 2025 at finding that is not connected to water. The one day, the fine is a one day,, the amount of $50 plus legal fees bringing the total amount to $70. And I do have a representative from Charlotte Harbor Water Association if needed. Do you have any questions of the officer? For the officer, no. Okay, not at. Does county have anything else at this time? Nothing additional. OK. So if I may, so we are not in fact hooked up to the local water, Charlotte Harbor Water Authority. I guess it's called a private entity. We are hooked up to an existing well system that we've had there at that home. That home was built in 2002. My wife and I and three kids have upgraded that well system as well as a septic system. So back when they started, when they approached us and started this project in the neighborhood, I had contacted them and said, hey, this was after Hurricane Ian. I said that we were in the process of getting an all-new well water system, a water softener system as well as an reverse osmosis water system for our household. At that time, who I spoke to said it wasn't probably going to be mandatory that I hooked up, but it was recommended. So I moved forward after the hurricane, I no waters. I moved forward with hooking up that new well system, new reverse osmosis system to the tune of $5,000, $6,000 being that I needed water immediately. Right? I couldn't wait on them for a month or two to come out and hook our water up after her canian. I started doing a little bit more research into the topic. I did talk with this nice gentleman and my residents about my options. In doing some more research, I would like to remain on my existing water system. I would like to not have our households hooked up to the Charlotte Harbor Water Authority system for a few different reasons. One, I already went through the expense of it. Right now, financially our household can't afford what we've been quoted from them and a plumber to hook into their water system. So financially, that would be my first reason, which is quite important to us. The second reason of reasons would be in looking at the state of Florida does offer some different exemptions as far as hooking into a water system. The ones that I think are probably most important would be, we aren't existing development. Again, this home has been on well water since 2002. We've spent our savings in bringing it compliant, I guess you would say, and bringing it to what we would say is a healthy drinking source in our home, right? So right now we're not using any chemicals for our kids. For all the objectives, this is in all of it. Yeah. I can't hear it. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. I can't hear. today is that you're not in compliance with that previous order. Under state law, you are required to hook up to that water system. So I'm going to impose the $70 fine. I urge you to get with the water association and work something out because otherwise, you'll be back here like the previous cases where the fines start building up to $9,000 and more. So my order is that you are in violation of the previous order and there'll be a fine of $70. If I may. So with that said, moving forward, if we were to follow this gentleman's recommendation, hook up into his water system, we're now going to be put under deras, I guess you could say. We're going to, basically, we're going to have to follow what chemicals they put into our water system. Sir, you'll have to take that that's out of my purview. My purview is whether you're in compliance with the order or not, you're not in compliance with it. You need to work out those details with the other parties that's not with the purpose of this hearing is for. Okay, did I miss a hearing or something to where I would have had a chance to speak on my behalf? There was a prior order issued. I know the first one was a conflict, so I had to be rescheduled, so I just, I haven't had a chance, I guess, to be able to hear this gentleman or be heard. This gentleman is from the County Attorney's Office. has nothing further to do with the water company. I would suggest you get with the water company and move forward from there. That's all I'm gonna take on this case. Thank you. Next case we're gonna hear going back to case number three, COD-24-02112, Janelle Welch, 462 Ridgewood Street, Port Charlotte, is Genelle present. Seeing her not present, we'll proceed in respondent, I'm going to issue the order in the amount of $70 based on the paperwork filed by the county. Thank you. I'm going to put it on the back of $70 based on the paperwork filed by the county. Thank you. And then we'll move on case number five. This is a new matter, DOH 240016. SFR 2012-1 Florida LLC, 2401 Comos Street. Is there anyone here on behalf of this case? Seeing nobody's here, the fact that this is a new case, we will hear testimony from the county. You may proceed. Thank you. Good morning, Gary Grotto, or Certified Code Compliance Officer, Sharpe County. Address to the violation is 2401, Comos Street. The zoning is RSF 3.5. The owner of record is SFR 2012-1 for the LLC. The case was initiated on June 21, 2024, after receiving a complaint from the Department of Health that the owners were in violation of the pump out and inspection ordinance. During the investigation, photographs were taken. The photos fairly inactually represent the conditions I observed. I'd like to offer the photographs into evidence as County Composite Exhibit number one. It's submitted. I've had no contact with the owner. The Florida violation or the notice of violation was served by certified mail in accordance with Florida Statute 162. On January 7th, 2025, I received an email from DOH confirming that this address remains in violation. Previous certification expired on October 31st, 2017. That concludes my testimony. I'd like to introduce Alex Trammell from the Florida Department of Health. Good morning, Alex Trammell, certified environmental health professional. They are still currently out of compliance with their pump out and their permit with us. Okay, do anything else? That's all. Having just gone through a mandatory pump out at my own home, I understand the process. And I will find that the County has proved their case in the absence of any testimony of the contrary. found the responding guilty of the cited code sections given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance, or thereafter a fine of $100 each day for the violation continuing to exist. Thank you. Thank you. And the last case that I will be hearing is COD-25-00141 1, 4, 1, IH6 property Florida LP. 1, 2. that I will be hearing is COD 2500141 IH6 property Florida LP 12076 Appleberg Circle Port Charlotte. Is there anyone here on behalf of this case? Seeing nobody come forward, the county may proceed in abstentia. I'm Wendy Welsh, Charlotte County Co-compliance Officer. Cases COD-25-00141. The address of the violation is 12076 Appleburg Circle. Zoning is RSF-3.5. The owner of record is IH-6 property Florida LP percentage Ryan LLC. On January 22nd, 2025, I conducted an inspection and observed the following violations. Commercial and flat bed trailers for box trailers one open utility trailer and one box parked in the right of way, rear yard and driveway. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property and we'd like to offer photographs to evidence that's counting composite number one May will be admitted Notice violation was served by certified male and accordance with the florist statute 162 I've had no communication with the owners regarding this. On April 25th, 2025, I conducted the final inspection finding the violation still substantially the same. This is the end of my testimony. Okay, in the absence of any testimony of the contrary, I finally responded in violation of cited code sections. We'll give 15 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance or thereafter find $100 for each day the violation continuous to exist. The issuance of a two year cease and desist order for repeat zoning violations and abatement in the event of noncompliance with cost of the abatement to be added to the fines and costs. Thank you. With that, I am finished and will turn it over to you. Thank you, Mr. Morrison. Have a great day. Unless you want to stay. Thank you. No, okay. All right. Seeing as I don't have any old business from prior cases, we're going to move on to the consent agenda, which are the affidavits and on compliance. And these are the cases that have already been adjudicated. The county is asking for imposition of fines or costs incurred and abating the violations. And I will take these cases in the order of those who have come into attendance. So we're going to go on to item three on the agenda case number COD 23-01396, the unique painting investments LLC for a property at 3360 Peace River, Poonagora. This is a third affidavit noncompliance in the amount of 120 dollars. Officer Jewel. Good morning. Yes. Is there anyone here on behalf of unique painting investments? Come on, please. Man, what is your name? Good morning. My name is Kavi Prashad. Okay, Ms. Prashad. And you are an agent for the property owner? Yes. Okay. I also happen to be his niece. Oh, okay. Well, this should make for an interesting family get together. Let's see what the nature of the case is. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right, Tracy Jewel, Certified Code Compliance Officer for Charlotte County. Property address is 3360, Peace River Drive, Plenty Quarter, Florida. You know, the property is unique painting investments LLC. Case number COD-23-01396. Case was heard before the magistrate on October 4th of 2023 for several international property maintenance violations. I respect the property on September 9th of 2024 and found the violations substantially still exists. This is a third A&C, which is a one-day fine in the amount of 120 dollars. This is the end of my testimony. Okay, do we have any photos or anything else from the problem? These are just the permits are just all standing. All right. Mr. Parshad, do you understand or does your uncle understand what the issue is? The work that's been done, what needs be done? He does, do I have a minute to just say something? There was another agent that was handling this property from my uncle, and he fell ill, it made the beginning of last year. During that time, he was in the hospital in and out and he became incapacitated. Between then to now, two months ago, he passed away. I have been transitioned into help along because I'm aware of what's going on. It's been a learning process and Mr. Wolt has been very, very patient with me and I apologize for the delays, but what been happening is my uncle did the applied for the permit with the contractors and everything and nothing was processed because this gentleman was responsible for everything. Everything was sent to his email. We got wind of it. I'm trying to get on par with everything and I'm now catching up. She was able to help and I'm here from Orlando. It took me three hours to get here this morning. We would really like the opportunity to do things the right way. This is the first project in Charlotte from my uncle. Pretty big one and he's excited. However, there's a lot going on. a lot we have to clear up, and we would like the opportunity to do it the right way since it was all kind of left in Limbo since his gentleman passed away. And I might mention we had a family loss as well, my son passed away. So it's been a lot of domino effect of negativity. I'm very sorry for that. I hope that you can give us the opportunity to fix it. And the permit is aware, but we cannot fix anything without a permit. We need a permit. And the permit is currently the current permit that I'm sure has expired at this point is with a contractor who no longer exists. Is that correct? The contract is existing. All the contracts? Yes. You have a new contractor? Mr. Regindra is our contractor. I have his information and I sent over to the building department this morning, his entire packet that he had sent, that we uploaded to the system. But per Ms. Jewel, she told me that sometimes when you go online and you upload those things there, she does not have any ideas there. So we're asking to do things the right way. And if there's any way you can allow us the time to make it right. So unfortunately, this case is one of the ones that's already been it's brought in a adjudicated which means I don't have the ability to extend the time for compliance, but here's what I will say. Okay. The county, so there's nearly $10,000 in fines already accrued against the property. This fine is for $120. I am going enter in this fine. And the reason what the county does is they have the right under the original order to impose a fine of $100 per day per violation, in which this case has multiple violations. That's not what they do. They'll find, the first violation fine was earlier last year. They did $120. Then the second fine was $9,000 in change. What they'll do is they go on a 90-day window. They do 90 days, they reinspect. They do 90 days, they reinspect. The next reinspection will be 90 days from now. That will also be a daily fine. That one will be one of the $9,000 fines. Regardless of how much they find. Once the property is in compliance, you come to the county, you show them the evidence of compliance, you apply, and they reduce the fine. And I remember it's 10% or $1,000. I think there's a floor. But they reduce it to a nominal amount. The idea is to continue the fines to get the property moving forward. Now it's more important with a commercial property because it's not homesteaded and the county can foreclose. Okay. What I want to tell you is right now, as long as you get the permits in, and once the permits are active, the case goes into a balance. Everything stops. Okay, so that's the most important step you're already doing that. I'm sure the permits will get in and issued before the next 90-day cycle. So what I'm telling you, you already have the built-in time. Okay. And then regardless, once it's brought into compliance, you can come in and get the fines reduced. So if that lowers the level of stress, I hope it does because what it is, It's just a process. It's the process, the state legislature lays out, the county implements it on 90 day cycles, where they do a small fine and a big fine and a small fine and a big fine just to get things moving along. So you're at the small fine, I'm going to enter it in, you got another 90 day window to move forward. once everything's once the permits are in An issued the case will hold Once the permits have been closed out which means all the work's been accepted Then you're then you're in compliance and then you can come in and ask for the reduction one question Is there a deadline once the permits is granted to for work to be completed? Permits are good for 180 days. That's not to be enough of the choice. Well. Once the permit is granted for work to be completed permits are good for 180 days That will not be enough. Well, so the they can be extended upon a showing that there that the work is commencing Okay, so it can't be used as like I'll just keep renewing the permit No, when they renew the permit they'll look to see as anything been done There's no more agents will be handling this but me so I will be taking care of it. Thank you miss. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you miss Jules. All right. Our next case is item five on the agenda COD 24-01325. Property is 4387 Lister Street. This is a third affidavit noncompliance in the amount of seventy dollars. Good morning, sir. Good morning. My name is Roger Gromay. All right, Mr. Gromay. I'm going to, I think you came in a little bit late, so I'm going to give you, I'm going to ask you to get sworn in, and then I'm going to give you a proviso. The swearing in part, we'll get that taken care of before I forget. If there's anyone else who showed up late and needs to be sworn in, please rise and be sworn in. The assault list where the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If so, please please answer I do thank you very much for support me The second provides who is You do not you don't have to testify anything against yourself the county has to prove to me first that the property is still in violation So what I'm gonna ask you ask you to do is hang tight, let Officer Davis, he's going to present the evidence that the property which was found previously in violation is still in violation. If I disagree, we're done here. If I agree that the property appears to still be in violation, then you and I can talk about what to do about it. All right, thank Mr. Grame. Officer Davis Paul Davis certified code compliance officer Charlotte County property addresses 4387 Lister Street and property is Roger Grame case number COD 24 1325 and the case was heard before the magistrate on September 4th, 2024. For the violation of junk like conditions and prohibited uses on the last inspection, we've served a some commercial equipment on the property. And we've talked about several times, but it hasn't moved. This is the third A&C, which is a one-day fine of $70. It's a backup that we're talking about. OK. Do we have any photographs of the last inspection? OK, the backup. But there's no issues with the storage or anything else. Not really there was a few things in the front. I'll look for another picture of it. I have never seen a garage built for that purpose, but you know, I'm sorry. Respect. I like the garage that was built just to fit perfectly fit the backo in there. That's a major problem. We continue to get calls get calls on almost. All right, so Mr. Gromay, the issue is the backhoe. It looks like you keep it enclosed. It goes in the garage. OK. But it is a commercial vehicle, and that's the nature of the violation. Do you have any intention to address that, to move it off site? Or? Well, right now it won't run. OK. If you could get it running, are you planning to move it? Either into the garage or I'll sell it. OK. All right. Well, as I just explained to the previous, on the previous case, you've got some built in time on this. This case is already, I think you've already got $4,000 and fines on this. The county's asking for another $70 fine. I'm gonna impose the fine, but if you can get. But if you can get that issue resolved in the next 90 days before Officer Davis goes out to reinspect, you'll be eligible to come in and get the fines removed. I don't know. I'm not, I'll notice about the $4,000. This is the, this is the third reinspection that there's been on this property. So the previous one was an amount of $4,520. It was heard by me on February 5th of this year. So you didn't get a notice on that one. It just would have been a male to your same address to get your taxes on. I don't recall. Okay. Well, again, the amount of the fines I wouldn't for your particular circumstances, Mr. Gourmet, I wouldn't be worried about the fines. I'd be worried that if the issue doesn't get resolved, the county's original order, looking back and it gives them the right to go out there and have a towed. Now if they tow it, that's not a car. That's a $600 tow. That's going to be an expensive tow. And those fines, those costs would be imposed against the property and I won't be able to reduce those. So I just want to make sure that you're where aware of what needs to be done and if you need some time and you're making arrangements to get it removed, please stay in contact with Officer Davis. Do you have his contact information? I call Officer Davis but he doesn't reply. Okay. Well, Officer, I spoke to him a couple of times. Okay. Well, you can you can go in the back and confirm you got to write the right number and his email address if you want email him so you have a paper record that might be better. But for today I'm going to go ahead and impose the fine of $70 and please Mr. Romey let's try to take care of this. Okay. All right thank you very much sir. Thank you. That's it. That's it. That's fine. All right. All right. Next case item COD 24 to 02128. Property is 22433. Lewis Den Avenue in Port Charlotte. This is an affidavit. This is the first affidavit non-compliance, the amount is $70. Hi. Good morning, ma'am. Are you Miss? Yes. Okay, I was going to pronounce it wrong. Sure. Well, thank you. You've heard the dispute and I'm going to go ahead and let officer Davis explain to me with the cases while I look over your file, okay? Okay. Thank you. Well, Davis certified code compliance officer Charlotte County. Property address is 22 433 Lewis to Avenue owner of property is Juliana Udvarity. COD-24-02128. And the case was heard before the magistrate on February 5th, 2025. That was for junk like conditions and prohibited uses. Reinspected the property on March 10th, 2025, and found outside stories of a chair, rocking chair, indoor chair, creating junk like conditions and a prohibited use of the property. This is the first ANC which is a one day fine of $70. There was a factory call and if you can pull out the photos, this is from the reinspection. Okay. Alright so it's been cleaned up a little bit. From the original case it has been been cleaned up a little bit, but there's still some. That's great. I would love to say that we've got to the point where this is completely done. You're definitely, you've removed two-thirds of everything that was there. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and impose the $70 fine. And then the next 90 days, can you get the rest of it cleaned up so I don't have to go on the diet? I can get it cleaned up. I have like over five autoimmune diseases and my doctor never told me I was on chemotherapy and I stopped it. And now I cannot be too much in the sun. So the white car, it's my friend who has cancer. She moved in and she also brought some of her things. Yeah. And the tarp, it was in top of the RV, so it would protect the RV. So I've been doing a little by little, and two weeks ago, I fell in the driveway. I was 40 minutes in the driveway. I couldn't get up. And I crawled to my car to get my phone. And I called the ambulance. So I broke my arm and cracked my wrist and hands. So I've been doing little by little every day. Well, a lot of it looks like, I mean, some of the tarp and some of these other items. I mean, if those are just bagged up properly and put in a garbage can, I'm sure that trash people would remove them. Can you, if you're not physically capable, can you call a handyman or someone? I can because they cut my disability and right now I'm over-drown in my account. Okay. Maybe is there? I don't know if they're still doing any, but some of the church groups are helping people clean up after hurricanes. I can go and get rid of it a little bit. So it's alright. What? What is my name? Yeah, if you were to call, if you call the county, do you have a home phone? Give a phone. So call 211. Yeah. That's the county's help line. And they will put you in touch with the human services department that may be able to get someone to come out there and help you. Okay. Thank you. And because this is just, it's a little bit, I understand if you're, if you physically can't get the rest of it, but considering how far you've moved, I think that we shouldn't have to be here again. Okay. Thank you, ma'am. All right, I'm going to go and post the fine $70 the one day fine and hopefully we will be. Is there a way to reduce that $70 because I have. No, but there's- Let me put this with- The county's not planning on foreclosing for $70. So there's no rush on dealing with this issue at all. Okay? Okay. Thank you. No, right. Okay. Okay, our next affidavit of noncompliance number 26 on the agenda COD 24 to 02072 property is 16305 Ridgewood Court and Puntagorda. This is the first affidavit noncomplianceiance amount of $70. Good morning, Miss. Good morning. And what is your name? My name is Bojena Nell. Nell, Miss Nell. And the property is under my father's name, Eugene Fiechter, who has passed away. Okay. All right. Thank you, Miss Nell. All right. I want to have... Officer Greenwood's going to come up, come up and he's going to, he's going to remind me which case this was while I look through your file, okay? Thank you. Matt Greenwood, sort of like co-compliant officer, Charlotte County. Property address is 16305 Ridgewood Court. Owner of the property is Eugene Fichter Estate, case number COD 24-02-072. Case was heard before the magistrate on February 5, 2025 for the violations of property maintenance, pooled enclosure, house, roof, and walls. I reinspected the property on March 12, 2025 and found the violations substantially still exist. This is the first A&C, which is a one day fine in the amount of $70. Ah, this is the castle. Yes. Miss Nell, is that me and your princess? Yes. Okay. All right. Well, the King's estate needs to do something about the roof, and particularly the pool cage, because I love it. I can't see the pool in there. It's a risk. It's a hazard to anyone who might, kids or someone who may get in there. Well, this is on a five acre property. And the roof on the right side that you just saw prior to that is over the garage. The inside is still fine. This was from that last hurricane that really hit hard. And as far as cleaning the property, I think one of the neighbors had originally probably called and complained because the grass was getting high and the person that was helping me there, his machines broke down. So I had called him and said, this is going to cause me a problem, of course it did. So little by little I've been trying to take care of this property. But there's so much involved right now because of my father's passing. If we're going to be able to sell this property as is and someone else will take over that responsibility Or if that's going to become my sol responsibility. Okay. Well, let me ask. So the two primary concerns are the pool enclosure and what you can see the visible damage on the roof. So the visible damage part, even though it may not be structural, there are the counties adopt the National Property Maintenance Code, which essentially is to keep up certain standards. Because even eventually, a non-structural issue left to degrade can become a structural issue. And you can see the cracks in the wall and other things. Second issue is of course the enclosure, you know, maybe on five acres but if we get nervous when we have zero lot line houses about kids jumping falling into pools, you have a house that looks like a castle, it's kind of attractive to kids too. It's all enclosed but you understand your concern. So what would be, I understand you're trying to sell it and it's a lot to deal with. What I'm trying to avoid to help you sell that is that this fine, the county's asking for, is the one day fine is $70. And next fine will be $4,500. As those fines grow, then you've got a property, then you've got someone who wants to buy the property, and they do a title search, and they're like, oh my god, there's thousands of dollars in fines on there. And then you get into a complicated legal scenario where they're not going to pay to fix the problems for the closing, and you've got to read Eskrow the money. It becomes a whole big issue. So what I would ask is that if you can please before, and we get to that 90 days point, reach out to Officer Greenwood, see what steps you can do to bring this property into compliance so that that doesn't become an additional burden when you're trying to deal with this date. Yes, I understand. The 90 day thing would help. Yeah. OK, but that'll be the next, the next revisit will be in 90 days. So my problem with this property just to be understand and my dad made that clear when he was here. Is that anytime we call somebody out for an estimate? They gave you an estimate five times because they assume too much. So that's been my issue. I've had one contractor that was out there and came out out of nowhere, came on a property because the gate was open. So I'm talking to me, he and his partner. And then I found out through time that he was literally stalking me. So I had to say, no, I don't need your services anymore. So it's very difficult. Very difficult to trust people. What you can do is I would contact the Charlotte of Stodo Building and Industry Association. They've got a website that's going to have all the local registered contractors. These are going to be people that have been in the community for a long time and look through there and see if you can get a couple quotes from those registered offers. It's going to be a lot there's going to be a lot more accountability with those versus the people show up and leave door hangers on your car to show up and say I notice your house needs a new roof and so that's going to be my recommendation. Any any steps you make whether it's that you get the property under contract where you you got a contractor's going to come out anything that you can do, please call Officer Greenwood, let him know or email him so that he knows. And that may affect whether he brings it back, okay? In the time. Thank you. Thank you very much, Ms. Nell. Thank you so. Okay, next case is item 32 on the agenda COD 23-00009. Properties 1067 to Rick Street in Port Charlotte. This is the second affidavit noncompliance in the amount of $4,520. Morning, sir. Morning. What is your name? Wade Heverkart. That's right. Okay. All right. All right, Wayne, you've been paying attention. I can tell, so you know, we'll get to you in just a second. All right. Good morning. Brett Dawson, Cook Plants Officer, Charle County. Property Address is67 Rig Street, Port Charlotte, Florida, owner of the property is Kevin Cooper. Case number is COD23009. Excuse me. Case was heard before the magistrate on October 4th, 2023 for for the violations of prohibited use, fence not installed property and expire permit. I reinspec the property on April 28th, 2025. And found the violations still substantially exist. This is the second ANC, which is a 90 day fine for the amount of $4,520. Okay. Thank you, Officer Dawson. All right. I remember this case. The last I knew it was dismissed. They sent me a letter because I came in a court and they told me to go home. This case is dismissed. And I have a letter with me too. You know what I mean? It's a yes, I would love to see it, please. Get the hand of the officer. Let's see. Officer Dawson was a portion of this piece of this case dismissed or was it? There was two different cases on it. And this one is just for the there's no variance applied for because the fence is over six foot and he has expired permits. I believe another portion of the case had a black tarp and stuff hanging over the fence and I believe that that was dismissed. Okay, all right, unfortunately it's a different case number that that's the only thing that would be on there you wouldn't know. Okay, so right, unfortunately it's the, it's a different case number that that's the only thing that would be on there you wouldn't know. Okay, so let's I'm going to give this back to you because we've got this somewhere in a file. So the issue the out the only outstanding issue is the height of the fence and I know we had this conversation for so that is the, and I'm looking probably to Mr. Collinan with the elevation of the base is all that's required, and I know we had a great long conversation about this before. Is all that's required as the fence gets cut down a bit, or is there anything that has to be done at the base? Because I hate to give any direction that's incorrect. Sean Colman playing zoning official. I have been sworn. I do remember this case relatively well. Yes, they could cut off the top, probably approximately two feet. The code specifically states, and this was stated at the original hearing for this, that a fence cannot be placed on something that is artificially built up and must be placed at the grade that must be measured from the grade at which it is at. But it cannot artificially be built up, such as has been done here with this retaining wall. So, but so my, and if I recall and I could be, I could be wrong in testimony, you know, cutting it down to feet would be fairly useless as a privacy fence. But he could obtain a variance. He could apply for a variance. He could apply for a variance, irregardless of the issue with the elevation. It would just be to the total height from the ground ground. Okay, so I can't tell you what to do. I would apply for the variance because it's just, she burns going to look better. But I don't understand is when I pull the permits on this nobody said anything about this variance or anything. And they said, you know, as I pull the permits to do that retaining wall and put the fence on it. Well, the, the, the, the drawings and everything the fence was clearly put on top of those block walls. You know, and I did that for I can have the entire property and they said, yeah, you can do this. Now that it's done and completed, they're like, oh, my neighbor, unfortunately, we have a major arguments with, she made the argument with this and her husband works for Charlotte County. And this has become a major issue with her and she will not let it go. she's like you got an eight foot fence, defense is six foot, but it's up on my walls level with my property. That's how I built it and they gave me the permits to with her and she will not let it go. She's like, you got an eight foot fence, the fence is six foot, but it's up on my walls, level with my property. That's how I built it. And they gave me the permits to do this. Now that it's completed, they won't sign off it. They want me to do a variance, which is going to cost like $800. Yeah. Which is just going to be a piece of paper that says, Yeah, you can have your fence just the way it is. I get it and I'm gonna tell you that the realistic issue is that airs getting made impermaning I mean I get it and I'm going to tell you that the realistic issue is that errors get made in permitting. If I may, nobody said anything until it was depleted. They get made. They get, you know, and go back and say, oh, look, it was very clear there. And the reviewer missed it. At the end of the day, the code is the code. And the improvements are the improvements, and it's, I'll just say that, let's just say that Florida law limits the liability of governments for making errors in their permitting approvals. So if something gets approved, it shouldn't get approved. Ultimately, the person who did the improvement or their contractors supposed to know the rules too and they're not supposed to rely on the counties doing quality control for them so You're free to challenge it, but my recommendation is the $800 goes far And It's probably worth it to do I'm I'm to do. I'm going to do is I am not going to impose the full penalty here. I think that the circumstances on this one are significant enough that I'm going to give you some additional time, especially with the confusion over the dismiss case. I'm going to reduce this down to a one day fine of $70 from the $4,500. Now that doesn't mean that the county can't come back with the next fine being $4,000, but I'm giving you that additional time and money to be spent on some, on the variance to try and get this resolved. Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. Now, if I do this variance, that's going to end it, right? That's going to end it. And I'm going to say, oh no, now you've got to pay this amount. Because it seems like every time I do something there, but you got to do this now. You got to do this now. You know, and it's like I'm getting tired of this. As long as there are no conditions or anything. A variance is decided by the board of zone appeals. If you recall this, the situation sir had been adjudicated where we produced the site plans that showed that there was confusion, that they were not clear site plans, as well as the fact that the retaining wall was on a separate one. It was unclear that the fence was going on top of the retaining wall, and that's why you did the order that you did. I believe I spoke with Mr. Copper who's on as the owner personally and explain that situation to him as well. So you're going to come to a board of five or seven, five individuals on the board of zoning appeals. There's a hardship element that you're going to go through the story, explain to you the way you have to me. It makes the most sense rather than tearing the fence down, putting it in half to exceed the variance. OK. All right. Best of luck. All right. Thank right. Next case is item 36 on the agenda. COD 24 to 01280. Property is 40, 17. South Access Road in Inglewood. This is a second affidavit in compliance in the amount of. Is it $45,000 in 20 cents or $4,525? 45? OK. Well, you've got a big smile on your face for someone to look at it at a 45. Look at mine. So miss, what is your name? I'm Mary Sprig. I'm a professional engineer, and I have been sworn in. I'm here to represent the Marchellis. I wasn't smiling about the money but when you said is that 48,000 or 4,400 I thought the same thing that yeah. All right well Miss Greg hold on just one moment I'm gonna. I have to look at the order first for something like this level of fine. Officer Chef Kulinsky, if you want to go ahead and- Jason Chekulinsky. Certified Code Officer Charlotte County, Property Address, Violationist 4017 or 4021 or 4025 or 4029 or 4033 or 4037 South Access Road. Owner of the properties, Marchellan, and the prizes zinc, case number COD-240-2189. Case was heard before the mandatory August 7th, 2024. For several Charlotte County violations and building co-violations. Reinspected the property February 21st, 2025. Found the violations that still exist. Second A and C with a 90-day fine of $45,020. OK, so this, yeah, this I remember this case a little bit. And this is a $500 fine repeat violation. Mr. Hackfarth, was there an appeal or anything on this case? Why did I feel like there was nothing? Okay, all right Mr. Colin Sean Column and planning zoning official I haven't sworn this went before the board of zoning appeals for the outdoor the trades contract with outdoor storage and this was denied at their April hearing so because that is denied That was essentially the end of the road and so they are back now for the imposition of this fine. Okay. All right. This is Greg. Thank you. What could you do in hand? Thank you. This is this hearing is a little bit out of my realm of expertise. But my job is to try to bring this project into compliance for my clients. I understand from my client that the notices originally had been sent to the wrong address. And so I can see that this has been going on for a while. And one of the reasons again is that it had been sent to the wrong address. Apparently it was not sent certified. I don't know the process. If you have any questions, the owner is here. And they could better answer those questions after I present my thing here. a professional engineer, the Marchellis originally retained me to prepare the site development plans that they told me were necessary. And then I found out that there was a violation. I didn't know that, didn't understand that originally and that a special exception approval was needed first. By the time I found that out, time had passed, and then I did make the application to the board, and that request, as Sean said, was subsequently denied. The only other option for the Marchellis at this point is to go through the full site and development process and to proceed to build a building large enough to house the granite that they currently have stored on the outside on their lots. This is what they have decided to do and we're talking probably maybe a 10,000 square foot building to be able to house the amount of granite that they have. Unfortunately, the site development process is not quickly accomplished. And I'm willing to work within a reasonable time frame and the Marchellis are on their way to bring in the sent to compliance but I'm here to ask for number one maybe a better cooperation between the county and the owner. Maybe someone could sit down with her and explain this is what you have to do. I understand that the person that was dealing with it was dealing with someone, one of the employees and not the owner themselves. And so the point I'm at right now is I have been retained by the Marchellis to prepare the site development process or go through the whole process and design what they need to do. I'd like to ask some consideration for the time that's going to be needed to do this. Now that the special exception is done and denied. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. with respect to the issue of the notice. This case was heard back in August of 2024, unfortunately, because the nature of the issue is, I, at this point, do not have jurisdiction to deal with the original complaint, only the imposition of fines. So the time to appeal that would have been back in, unfortunately, September of 2024, when we were all going through quite a bit with the hurricanes. What I will do with this is I'm not going to change the county's request for the fine. The next step now that the special exception has been denied, I think you're correct, move forward site development plan, build a metal building or whatever, what makes sense to close the outdoor storage. Is there anything that I'm missing on that? With respect to that, sir, this has been going on since prior Hurricane Ian, when this case, when these first started- It's a repeat violation. I understand. Correct. And as well as we do have a baitment authority that was granted by you, this is something where we had tried numerous times for a number of years to work with this applicant and this person with respect to the notice. They did appear and they did testify before you at the hearing in August of last year. So they were noticed properly, they did make it and they did present their case here. We have very significant concerns. This was a completely unpermitted, there are numerous violations of both county code as well as state laws regarding storm water and other violations, potentially environmental violations as well. and so we have some very significant concerns about this being pushed out even further. Well, so, John, what I'm going to get to here is I don't have the authority to push it out further. What I'm going to do is this. I'm going to enter the order in that the county's requesting. But what I will take into consideration, Miss Bragg, is if the site development permit gets done and the, you know, obviously the case will not be placed in abatement as long as the outstanding issue of the storage is out there. And certainly the property owner would not want the county to remove that valuable storage and then have to pay to get it removed from impound assuming it doesn't go straight to the dump. If the site plan moves forward, building a contractor, buildings move forward to get things done and the county comes back to me in six months or nine months or next year with another large fine, as long as I see that activity has been done at that point to move this forward, I will consider reducing the imposed fines at that point. But I'm not going to do it at this point because this case has been going on. I understand. And like I said, I have been retained and I will do everything I can. Obviously, it's not my only project, but I will make an absolute, you know, concerted effort to get step-by-step. I can do the pre-app, then go through the preliminary, then go through the final, to show that there is, we've got to try and do it. Thank you, Ms. Bragg. And for the benefit of the process, everything from this point on is technical. Did they meet the technical set requirement type plan? You get the permit. You get the technical requirements of building code, you get the building. Under the county's code, even these large fines can be reduced once the property is brought into compliance. The concern I have is nothing happens Properly like this commercial no homestem protection county can foreclose county can impose they can go out there They can clean up the property and then impose those costs so The fines shouldn't be the concern the county taking action to bring the property in compliance for other means is the concern It needs to move forward Thank you very much. Thank you Nope Give me just one moment to wrap my nose down on that one. All right, next three cases, I understand. These are... Are you sure? Next three. Okay. COD 23-02691 for a property of 1, 2, 3 via Madonna, Ningoord, COD 2302, 691, property at 123 via Madonna, and COD 24 dash 00702, 121 via Madonna, and Ningo Wood, all three properties, same property owner. Are you Mr. Good? Yes, I am. All right, Mr. Good. Well, having the last name good is already good start to the day, I think. So I would hope to. All right, I'm going to go ahead and for this one, what I'd like to do is just for the ease of the process and to make sure that I try to be consistent. Go through each case. We'll present and then we'll talk at the end about the whole thing. Thank you Mr. Take away officer Moore sorry Officer Moore certified co-compliance officer for Charlotte County The property address is 111 Via Madonna One of the property is John Good and John Allen Good. COD 2302962. Case was heard before the magistrate on September 4th, 2024, for the violations of junk like conditions and unsafe structures. I evaded the property on 219-25 and found that the violation still exists because we abated the property. This is the first ANC which is a $50 fine plus the $20 processing fees. But the grant total for the abatements was $13,665.6. Okay. Look, I have that tied to case number 2692. Now it's the same property. Correct. We just put it under just the one. That's fine. Just two different cases. Two different transp the one that's fine. There's two different cases of two different types of violations. That's fine. Do you have the photos from that abatement? There it is. I'm want to confirm, you know, the, the, this case is post hurricane, post hurricane case, was this, was, was there violations in existence before the hurricane? There was violations of junk like conditions prior to the prior to the hurricanes but the structural damage was as a result of hurricane Ian. Okay but what I'm what I'm getting at is there may there may have been some junk like conditions pre-hercane Ian but a significant amount of it came out from Mr. Good Removing items from the house afterwards. Yes and no. It's a hoarding situation. Okay. You don't want to see my garage. Okay. Was there a fire? Unfortunately, yes, today of the abatement. There was a fire. Okay. Started in the middle of the house. There was a hot wire since then. Yeah. And been out there hot for two and a half years. They kind of woked the dragon when they started with the front loader. Okay. All right. Thank you, Mr. Good. And do we want to move on to the next case? Next case is... I'm going to the numerical Property. Property address is 1-1, V.M. Adana. Owner of the property is John Good and John Allen Good. COD, case number COD 23-02962. The case was heard before the special magistrate on September 4th, 2024, for the violations of junk like conditions and unsafe structure. And this was abated as well on 219-25 and had the on this property, there was the $70 fine of post. Okay, plus the owner, the O&M report. $200. Is there, do we have any post abatement photos? Is there anything left on the property? Yes. Okay, and you have a place to live, Mr. Good? Well, I've got a place to sleep. I'm busy from before dawn until after dark every day, working on a stuff. So I promised my mother, before she she passed that I'd take care of the situation. My younger brother passed shortly after that. So I've been gamefully employed for quite some time. What is the current condition of the property? Is there continuing violations or is it? So mr. Good, I'm gonna I'm gonna impose the fines the cost because I reviewed the materials the costs or what the cost the county It costs the county and the taxpayers clean up the property. But, and it sounds like there's still more and an officer more, are you working with Mr. Good to try to identify what needs to be done? Because I don't wanna see more leans go on the property. All right, I'm rented 14 storage units, I'm about a block away. That's all the ones they had open and that's they beaten up all of my savings. And I'm doing what I can. My father turns 92 next month and he's priority one and this is priority one A. Well with the fire, we had a gentleman many years ago that I guess you would say he was he hoarded stuff but he he kept a lot of things in his house he had a lot of boats and vehicles and and we county went round and round at them multiple times he ended up relocating to Cape Coral Mr. Walls Mr. Walls burned to death in his house from similar situations. The amount of materials built up around him, he couldn't get out during a fire. And so I'm not trying to chastise you. I'm just trying to say that this behavior is dangerous. I'm glad you're putting it in storage facilities that it's not in a damaged house. As much as I can rescue, I'm doing that. And again, I didn't create the situation, but I'm doing everything I can to make it right. My daughter didn't create the situation in her room either, but I throw stuff out every chance I get. She doesn't notice it. Every week I've got five green tops for waste management and up till yesterday, I had five yellow tops. First one, they dumped, went into the truck and didn't come back out. So now I've got four yellow tops. But I'm taking care of business there just as much as I can. And a pile of bigger stuff in front for them to come and pick up weekly also. And I would encourage you, I don't know if the situation, especially given your family situation, who started the hoarding. But if you call 211 and talk to the county's human services department, maybe they can get you some additional road tops or they can find some additional way to help move this along because what I hate to see is I hate to see it get to the point where the money has to be expanded to clean it up and then those costs can't be reduced later on. Right, I've got 121 almost empty. I made it all the way through. I've just got a few loose ends in there. 111 there's still some pretty good, rescuable things in there. That's scheduled to be bulldoze next week Friday. So there's kind of imperative there to get into there. Yeah, I gave some scrap metal away yesterday to a neighbor and I've been taking stuff into My father likes to eat sometimes So we like to do that, don't we? One of those things. So I'm going to impose these costs, and that's what they really are. They're the costs for cleaning up with the counties on so far. Is the county handling the bulldozing? Is that? Yes. Yeah, on 111. I've got all three spaces listed with the Realtors. Okay. And 123, they believe will meet to 50 percent. Role to be able to say. Yeah. Yeah. The other other two well of course the one that's burned No any other one No, okay. Well, please do call 211 see if there's any additional help you can get Because I hate to see those costs and if you sell it Not come back to you in some way right Right. Thank you, Mr. Good. Thank you. Okay. Seeing no additional respondents here for the affidavits noncompliance reviewing the files earlier, I'm going to go ahead and approve the balance the affidavits noncompliance recording. And we are going to move on to our new business. Again, new business cases, these are all cases, the first suppression. And so I'm gonna go ahead and call the first case, which is item F on the agenda, COD 23-02025,2025 properties 8250 Archie Street in England. All right, sir. Howdy. Are you Mr. Bulk? Yep. All right, Mr. Bulk. Thank you for being patient waiting through all that. Officer Drown is going to explain to me the nature of the county's allegations, which is what they are at this point. And then we'll see if he can make a case that we need to talk further. Okay, I appreciate it. Thank you, Dr. Brown. John Brown certified code for the plan software Charlotte County. COD 23-02025. The address of the violation is 8250 Archie Street. is Mobile Home Mobile Home Conventional. The owner record is Dale and Sherry Bulk. On August 14th, 2023, I conducted an inspection observed the following violations, an unpermanented addition. During the investigation, it took photographs of the property. I'd like to offer the photographs and permit history into evidence of Charlotte County's positive exhibit one. Okay. Yeah, Mr. Bulk, what I'm asking you to do is look over that information. If any of it is incorrect, let me know and you can object to the production of evidence. It may not reflect the property as it looks today, but look at the date on the photos to see if it matches. If you think that you have any objection to the photos at the time they were taken. So you want me to, uh, if there's anything you object to and in the, that's the county's evidence. Okay. Do you see anything that's objectionable in there? I want you to let me know before I accept that evidence into, into the record. Yeah, it would be ejected because, uh, all this stuff is already finished. Okay, okay. That's fine. Well, I'm going to accept it as evidence of the past. Okay. And if you've cleaned it up since then, do you have any photos or anything you wish to add? I do not. Okay. We'll get to the current condition in just small and off the ground. Do you have any additional testimony? The notes of violation was served by certified mail in accordance with Florida's statute 162. I have had communication with the owners regarding this case. On May 5th, 2025, conducted final inspection, finding violation still substantially the same. The permit was applied for but not issued. This is the end of my testimony. Okay, all right. So, let me make sure I've got this. All right. So the the the the allegation is the unpermanent addition. There's clearly an addition of some kind. You got notice of it. You've applied for the permit. Permanent was looks like it was probably rejected. They gave lots of reasons for that. I got to figure that out. What, does there anything you wish to add? You said that the property doesn't look like this anymore. No. What's the current control property? Well, what I had to do is I had to go get blueprints done and I did that. Okay, great. And then APACs, they are working with me too, because I turned these in like about five months ago, the Blueprints. Yes, I got it. So then I got a letter stating the stuff I had to fix yet. And so we did all that. And Apex is going to redo the blueprints to make it up today. And then they're going to give me a complete expansion of David. Right. Our program for that. OK. And I'm just asking for a couple more months. Would the county wants 30 days? I'm going to give you 90 days to get that and that's to get the permit and move forward. I appreciate it. More time to finish it out after that. Okay. Alright. Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and find the property was in violation. I'm going to give the respondent 90 days to bring the property in compliance. It would be a $50 per day fine after that. Okay, after the 90 days. After the 90 days, yes. And it works the way you've seen so far. It would be $70, $70 is $50 plus recording fees. And then it'd be 90 days additional, and then it'd be $4,000. So, okay. As long as you're moving along, you've got the permits and they're active, You're going to be okay. I appreciate it. All right thank you Mr. Bunker. Thank you. Let's do it now. Okay we have a...
