Thank you very much. We're going to go ahead and call this meeting to order the September 4th, 2024, Charlotte County Code Enforcement Special Magistrate hearing. Good morning, everyone. So we got a lot of people still waiting to check in. So I'll go through a couple of preliminaries first. My name is Derek Rooney. I'm the duly appointed co-inforced magistrate for Charlotte County You're here because you've received a notice of violation and no se hearing or possibly a notice that there was a In position of fines going to be levied against your property What that means is that at some point the county has been identified either through a sweep or through a complaint that your property is in violation of either the Florida Building Code. Typically that means someone did work without a permit or permit that was previously applied for was never closed out and inspected or that there is some issue with regard to the use of the property. And this could be high grass, it could be junk like conditions, which is multiple non-working vehicles and various states repair or junk in your front yard. It could be any legal use to the property. It could be a property had been cleared without a permit. It could be that of businesses operating in a residential district. There's a number of reasons you may have received notice here. If you have received notice that there's going to be an imposition of fine, what that means is that you have your properties already previously been heard by myself or one of the other special magistrates and there was a time given for the property you bring brought into compliance. Property was not brought into compliance by that date and the order authorized to find to be imposed. So if you're here for one of those issues, you'll be called up in the beginning of the hearing. And these are known as the affidavits and on compliance. And what that process means is that the code enforcement officers will come up. They will provide testimony of photographs, indicate that the property was still in violation as of the date that they surpassed in the order and they will ask me to impose a fine consistent with that order. If you are here for more of those hearings, I want to be very clear, I am not able to reopen the case and start the case over, throw the case out. We are only here to discuss whether or not the property is still in violation and what additional steps can be taken to get it into compliance. For properties, if you receive a no-so violation, that you're here for the first, this is the first time issue. I have not consulted with staff, I've not been involved in discussions, so this, so I'll be hearing the evidence provided to me at the same time you are. Code enforcement officer will come off, they'll testify, they have the burden of proof, which means that I'm going to ask you not to speak, not to give any testimony against yourself until they have proven to me that they have at least met that burden. So if they feel that if I feel that they do not meet that burden, I'm going to dismiss the case out of hand. If I feel that they've met that burden, I'm going to ask you to come up and speak to me and explain to me how you feel that there is not a case against your property. If you're able to rebut that evidence, I may still dismiss the case. In most cases, that's not the case. There's usually some photographic evidence, regardless of the testimony to show that the property is in fact in violation. In those cases, what I want to talk to you about is how to bring the property into compliance. Make sure you understand the nature of the county's allegations against you and what steps need to be taken and what order to bring the property into compliance. And so I'll ask you how much time you need and I will typically give you a reasonable period of time to bring the property into compliance. If after that period of time is lab, the property is still not in compliance. You may still be able to work with county staff to keep it from brewing fines. But as of the day of the noncompliance, the county will be entitled to come back to me and ask to impose fines, usually in the amount of $50 to $100 per day for the violation. So I want to make sure that we understand that. So when we're speaking, we're not just going around circles, not understanding what's going on. I'm going to ask you first, if you understand the nature of the violation, if you understand what needs to be corrected, and how much time you need. And I will work with you to accomplish that. There are a number of other cases we're going to have this morning that are conflict cases that Mr. Wilson is going to be handling for me these are fake cases where I either myself have been previously involved or my law firm Has a relationship with the property owner and so we will not be taking those cases We'll take those cases first today But before we get started see that almost everybody signed in now. So what I'm going to ask now is that everyone's please stand to be sworn in. Do you solemnly swear the testimony you're about to give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? They've so pleased and it's all right to. Thank you all very much. Okay. We have a couple of cases that have been continued. And so, more likely and not you're aware of been continued but I want to make sure just in the off chance you you're not aware. COD 2301584 is a property at 2135 Alaric Street in Port Charlotte that's been continued. COD 23 to 0301542773 Nell Road has been dismissed. COD 204, 01289, property of 2198 Taunt Street and Fort Charlotte has been dismissed. COD 2300676, property of 2611 Lark, Spur, Court and Punnagorda has been continued. We have a few other continuances just to announce. Make sure you're not here for any of those. Item DDA agenda, property at 217 Fairway Road and West Rotunda, that's been continued. And COD 24-01076 property at 828 Kenwood, Harrison Port Charlotte has also been continuing. And with that, I'm gonna turn everything over to Mr. Wilson. Thank you, sir. You're gonna have this. Yeah, that's right. All right, hold on have this. No, that's right. All right, we'll now hold on to this. All right, the first case I'm gonna call is case number COD-23-01735, PropRocca Service and Sales, it's an affidavit and noncompliance. Good morning. Jason check on the certified co-op officer Charlotte County. Address of the resident of the complaint is 1-1-0-0-0-pine trail road. Owner of the property is prompt towing services and sales. Case number COD-2D 2301735. Case was heard before the match rate April 4th, 2024. Violations of privity use and junk like conditions. Irene Spectre of the property June 6th, 2024 and found the violations still exists. This is the first day in see with a one day fine of $120. Okay, good morning. Good morning. We would ask that this be continued at the time when the initial order was entered. There was a time period given in order to file in order to change the zoning and do the plan development. It's part of a two phase process that we worked out in negotiation with county staff that we would do. The hurricane damaged destroyed building up front. The hurricane Ian destroyed. We've just, our engineer has been working on that. Our surveys have been working on that. And that we just finally are through the last hurdle for DRC. And so that now allows us to release the surveyor and the engineer on the work that needs to be done in order to bring the cop plan change and the PD rezoning. And so we're working on it. We haven't ignored the county. We've been working with staff explaining where we are and we would ask for a further continuance in this matter in order to allow us to continue working to bring it into compliance. I don't think I can grant a continuance on an affidavit of an on compliance. So one day fine, has there been progress? I mean, there's, it's still a junkyard. I mean, it's clean, but it's a junkyard. There's been no progress for the PD. You know, they have been in contact with me throughout the case but yeah. So would ask that they're not being any further fine while we move this thing forward. Much of what is going on has to do with Hurricane Ian and recovery from that, but that's not the only thing. I mean, this is the abatement lot for the county to win. There is abatement of code matters and the junk like things are have to be moved by the county. This is where they take them. I mean, we're still receiving from the county. So don't bang us for doing the work that we're doing while we bring it into compliance. This is the kind of thing that don't shoot ourselves in the foot while we work through this. This is for the public good. Right. I mean, unfortunately, Mr. Hammonds, I think my only issue in front of me is whether or not there was a violation. There is a continuing violation. There's no doubt about that. It's a matter of what does it take to bring us into compliance? And we're spending a lot of money. Adding money on fines doesn't help the county's position. And I don't believe that you have an obligation to continue to find us. No, I mean, it's a one day fine. So that's fine. A one day fine is it's $120. I accept that. So I would just say at this point you know ramp it up, try to communicate and get the issue resolved. So we're not here but again you know next month. Okay. I hope you're not going to set it for next month. So. So in this case, I'm going to acknowledge review of the affidavit, and I'm going to accept the affidavit into evidence as stated. Okay. Just one day fine. Thank you. Just move it right along. Thank you. You have another case. Oh, that's right. So the next case is prompt as well. The 1-1-1-1-9. Right. So the next case is proud. Is the 11119. Okay. So 11119. I'm going to call case number COD-23-01736. Sharon Murray, the property is located at 111-119 or 11129 Tamiya, and material. You hear for that case, too? Yes. Okay.

A good morning, Gary Rodor, or certified code compliance officer of the Charter County. The address of the violation is 1405 Solston Drive. The zoning is RSF 3.5. The owners of record are dust and on a hue and Brianna done a hue. The case was initiated on April 25th, 2024, after receiving complaint from the Charlotte Harbor Water Association that the owners failed to connect to the available private, portable water distribution system within 180 days of being notified of the system being available. Documentation provided to me showed notification was on September 15th, 2023. During the investigation, photographs were taken. The photos fairly and accurately represent the conditions I observed. I'd like to offer the photographs into evidence as County composite exhibit number one. There being no objection to the photographs. I'll receive and accept them. Originally I had no contact with the owner however. When I posted the property, I did have contact with the owner who said that he had just upgraded his well system. And I thought he was going to be here today, however, it doesn't appear as though he is. Notice that violation was posted in accordance with Florida statute 162. On August 25th, I received an email from Charlotte Harbor Water Association confirming that this address remains in violation. This concludes my testimony and I'd like to introduce Angela Valentin from the Charlotte Harbor Water Association. Good morning. Good morning. Angela Valentin with Charlotte Harbor Water Association. Yeah, I don't think it makes any. Can you hear me? Good morning. Yes. Yes. Service was made available to the property as of September 19th, 2022. Official contact was delayed due to Hurricane Ian. Official contact was initiated on September 15th, 2023 via certified letter and three attempts were made. Another on January 31st, 2024, where we knocked on doors and hung the letter on doors. And final notification was another day of door knocking and hanging the letter, the final notice on March 13th, 2024. Any further contact with the owner? No contact has been made. In your contact with the owner, what was their explanation for not receiving? Well, he explained to me that he had just upgraded the following hurricane in. He had upgraded his well system. He put in a new filtration system. However, he said that he tried to contact the Charlotte Harbor Water Association and that they were saying that he had no options, he had to connect. Well, the time frame, the water was available at the time he upgraded the system. And so I'm not sure why he chose to upgrade his well water as opposed to the match. Have you had any contact with the owner of Briar to this hearing? The one contact I had with him was when I posted is on August 8th. I posted the property for the continuance to this here. And that's when I had the contact with the Ogen explain to me why. It's the county's recommendation. County's recommending that the respond to be found in violation of the cited code sections and given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance and pay any associated fees or thereafter be fined $50 per day for each day the violation continues to exist. Based on the evidence and testimony presented in my review of the code sections in the notice of violation, I'm going to find that in case number PUO-24-002 that a violation exists that the respondent be given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance and pay any associated fees and thereafter be fined $50 a day for each day the violation exists. Thank you for your testimony Next case is P.O. dash address is 27129 Solomon Drive. Assuming giving the address can be the same issue. Yes sir. Morning sir. Good morning. How are you? I'm good this morning. A little nervous. It's okay. You can relax. Have you been sworn in? Yes, well I was in the audience and we all sworn. Okay. We can do it again if you'd like.

The owners failed to connect to the available private portable water distribution system within 180 days being notified of the system being available. Documentation provided to me showed notification was on September 15th, 2023. During the investigation photographs were taken. The photos fairly and accurately represent the conditions I observed.

I'd like to offer the photographs into evidence that's counting composite exhibit number one. Do you have any objections to the photographs? I saw the photograph in my home, and that's a high-rise. Just terrifying, that is my residence, sir. Okay. There being no objections to the photographs, I receive and accept the exhibits as county composite exhibit number. I've had no contact with the owner. The notice of violation was posted in the accordance with floor statute 162. On August 25th, I received an email from Charlotte Harbor Water Association confirming that this address remains in violation. This concludes my testimony and I'd like to introduce Angela Valentin from the Charlotte Harbor Water Association. Good morning. Yes, Angela Valentin with Charlotte Harbor Water Association. Once again, service was made available to this property as of September 19th, 2022. Official contact was delayed due to Hurricane Inn. Official contact was made via certified letter sent on September 15th, 2023. There were three attempts to contact the second being knocked on the door and hung the second notice on January 31st, 2024 and then the final notification I knocked on the door and hung the final notification on March 13th, 2024. Sir can you please state your name and address for the record? Yes, my name is Kim Greenwood. I reside at 27129 Solomon Drive, Pentegrino. Okay. All right, I purchased the home in 2009. At that time, my home was on a wealth system since built in 72. I purchased at that time. home was on a wealth system since built in 72. I purchased at that time and my home was not connected to the existing water service. Now this is a problem here. What is Charlotte County Water Association and when did that start? Because that water service has been available for 15 years. I'm being told that it's just now available. It was always available, and it was an option. Myself and one other neighbor were on wells at the time. So a new water system was placed. A larger water system, we actually have real fire hydrants. And I'm assuming that that is being considered as when water became available, and actually fact, water system is always available. I've been getting door hangers with confiscatory threats, and that's really all I've received is that I'm in violation for being on a well that I've been on for 15 years. And now I'm being told I have to come up with nearly $8,000. Of course, I can finance it through the county. And I just feel like I'm being treated as new construction across the street from me. There's a new house going up and it's a grand to get connected. I understand you got to access the main tie into it when the new service was placed last year I suppose it was somewhere around that time a water service lateral was board across the street and placed into a meter box and it is it's in service to that point and and has a ball valve and ball and installed which would go in front of where the meter is placed. I have a place 60 feet of service line to my home with a check valve and ball valve and I have a T in it because I'm currently still being fed by my wealth. I think in the question of why people prefer to be on a well, well, it's really financial. It's I live on a fixed income. I can't afford that kind of a call. Even if you finance it over five years, including the water service fees, you're paying 2000 a year for service that you were getting out of your well. I treat my own water. And after Ian, myself and one other neighbor were the only ones that had water and were able to provide water service so they could flush their toilets. So now I need clarification on exactly what this is about. Are I actually required to simply make the connection to your facilities? Or are you mandating that I become a customer of Charlotte County Water System? Which I believe is wrong. Well, my understanding, I'm not familiar with the particulars of this project, but my understanding is there's a mandatory hookup, which means you would be a customer of Charlotte Harbor water. So yeah. So you're mandating that I become a customer on a service that I do not require or need. Correct. That's the way the sewer and water expansions typically work. Anybody located within the geographical area is a mandatory hookup in order to defer the cost of the project. So I mean I'm sure there are several programs available to assist with the hook, the connection charges and the, you know, the long-term hook-up charges. So, you know, this is not really the forum to argue the politics of the implementation of that program because I'm limited to whether or not a violation exists. I'm completely understand. You know, and I mean, I can't rewrite the law. I can't change your current situation. All I can do is listen to the facts and the evidence is presented and say whether or not there's a violation. Well, sir, ultimately you're giving me a chance to air these issues in a fact that all of a sudden I'm caught flat-footed being told I'm a violator after 15 years of a tax payer in this county. And I'm being treated like new construction. And I think that this is an absorbent amount of money to be charged to connect to your water system. Now all I need is a water system meter placed in that meter box and in five minutes we're connected. Yeah, I mean I would just make sure that whatever you do you consult with the department because there's probably certain requirements, you know, flow volumes, things like that, they need to be in place before you can connect. Sure, sure. I understand that. At this point, I'm letting you know that I have made the connection all the way to the meter box. It just needs a meter placed. So at that point, it looks like I'm going to be a new customer of Charlotte County Water Association, whatever that is and whatever it started. I've had issues before with county here. And this just feels like the last straw for me where I think I'm going to be moving to a new county. Is it just water and water and sewer? We only service water and we've been around since the 1960s in this area. The only discrepancy, sir, is that this water was always available. Right. As a real estate attorney, I can't, the only positive thing I can probably leave with you is that it usually increases the value of your home if you're on city water. Well, there's that. Yeah, there's that. And being waterfront, I understand. All right. Well, thank you for presenting your information. Thank you for giving me the time, sir. It is a record. Counties recommendation. Counties recommending that the respond to be found in violation of the cited code sections, given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance and pay any associated fees or thereafter be fined $50 a day for each day the violation exists. All right, based on the evidence and the testimony presented in my review of the Code Section cited in the violation. I'll find that in case number PUO-24-0003 that the Respondent is in violation and that a violation does exist, and that the respondent be given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property in compliance and pay any associated fees or thereafter we find $50 per day for each date of violation exists. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next case is COD-23-02912. Edna Johnson, property address is 1423 Seagull Drive, Englewood, Florida. This Johnson, are you here today? Good morning. Good morning. Go ahead and present your case. Good morning. Go ahead and present your case. Thank you. John Brown certified compliance officer Charlotte County. Case number COD-2302912. The address of the violation is 1423 Seagull Drive. This only is mobile home conventional. The owner of record is Edna Johnson. On March 27, 2023, I conducted inspection and observed the following violation. And as safe mobile home as result of Hurricane Ian, during the investigation, I took photographs of the property and I'd like to offer the photographs and evidence as Charlotte County composites of it won. There being no objections to the photographs and evidence as Charlotte County composites of it one. There being no objections to the photographs. I'm going to accept them in evidence as County exhibit composite one. The notes of violation was served by posting in accordance with Fortes statue 162. I have not had communication with the owner regarding this case. On August 5th, 2024, I conducted a final inspection, finding the violation still substantially the same. There is no permit for removal or removal of debris. This is into my testimony. I'm going to go to the other side. Nobody's contact you whatsoever. I had a phone call at one point from a gentleman who said he was the owner's son but and would be assisting but I didn't hear from him after that so I can't confirm that it was actually who am I supposed to live on the phone. Okay. I spoke with on the call. County recommendation. County is recommending that- Is there anyone for one second? Are you here for this case? No. Okay. Go ahead. Sorry. County is recommending that the Respana be found in violation of the cited code sections and given 30 days from the date of the order to bring the property into compliance or thereafter find $50 for each day the violation continues to exist. The issuance of a two year season to assist order for any repeat zoning violations and abatement in the event of noncompliance with the cost of the abatement to be added to the costs and fines. Based on the evidence and testimony presented in my review of code sections. I'm going to find that in this case case number COD-23-02912 that a violation does exist that the respond to be given 30 days from the day to be ordered to bring the property into compliance or there after be fin cease and desist order for any repeat zoning violations and abatement in the event of noncompliance with cost of abatement to be added to the fine that costs. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you. And that is the end of my case is today. All right. Thank you very much. I don't know where to go. If you want to stay, I'll do it. All right. All right. All right. Thank you, everyone. The next portion of our agenda is the affidavits noncompliance, as I mentioned earlier. These are the cases that there's already been found a violation.

And I spoke to property appraisers. He has not gotten a egg exemption yet or any permits for any of the structures. Okay. Do you have anything additional on your testimony? No. Okay. All right. Mr. Reiber. What are we gonna do here? What do we got going on? I asked that we'd dismiss the case, sir. And I've got all the emails from me and the EPA stating that I've been doing everything that was asked to me at the last hearing. As you can see from the photos, everything's been cleared up with the trucks that were in the most recent photo are actually there because I allowed the county to gain access to the to the ditch. Those trucks are there doing the work of the county on the ditch. I allowed them access to my property. So that photo is an old photo. I have new photos of what it looks like now. There is a piece of equipment there, but that equipment's there because, at the last hearing I was told I needed to either A, A for a, I basically needed, so I bought the property back in 2020. Not to make the story longer, but I feel like there needs to be a little backstory. I bought the property, there was a lake on. It's okay. I bought the property. There was a lake on the property. And we did all the proper paperwork before purchasing the property. I did a title search, paid for the insurance. I did everything like that. And then recently after the storm, I was given the violation for nuisance accumulation of debris, vehicles. They said that I was storing vehicles there and stuff like that. Again, the vehicles that were there and that photo right there are the debris trucks that were moving the debris out of the ditch. And again, they were doing the work for the county. I have the paperwork from the gentleman that's doing it with me right here. Can you provide to me? Absolutely. Do you need us to make copies of that material? I'm in for you. Okay. So this paperwork right here is David Clark. He's the gentleman that's doing the work for the county. Those are his trucks. While he was there, I hired him to help me with the moving of the dirt. So again, there's a lot of stuff. This is kind of a lot of things going on. But with the debris and all that that was cleaned up. Now the only thing that's there now are the tractors and I have photos of those that were taken yesterday of what it looks like right now. Hold on. So what we're going to the the ANC that so it looks like the property is definitely been cleaning up. So that I'm... I have recent photos too, sorry, yesterday, if you'd like. Yeah, what the, again the issue is, I'm glad that it's even continued to this day. The 11 to 23, that's the, this ANC officer Wilbur? No, that was the first day. That was the first day. Okay, so we've been programmed from then. So the second ANC's where the vehicles were brought in, the cargo containers are there, the trailer. Well, I just want to let's get the minute clear. So it's the only issue right now as of the second ANC, the one that's performing the amount of $9,720. Is it just the vehicles? Is all the cleanup been done? I can't get on the property to get back farther to see anything. But from what you could see, though. From what you could see, though. What I could see, yeah. And then he claims he's filling in the pond for the ERP. I have an email from David that's doing the work. And why the work's not been done 100% yet. At this point, the only vehicles that are there are the equipment that's used to put the dirt back into the hole. Okay, do you have a permit for the... No, so the permit, so from the water company, which I, or not the water company, the EPA, who I'm dealing with directly for the lake, I was given two options. One option was to pull a permit, which would have cost. Roughly, I would have had to pay fines for a wetland. And we looked into that, and it was 150,000. And there's no grants or nothing like that. I paid 49,000 for the property, with the lake, before I honed it. So I don't have that kind of cash. And I'm working directly. These emails are from the EPA that people I'm working with. Can I see those emails? Yes, sir. I printed them for you. And they're stating that we're doing everything. They continue to give me extensions because they understand the cost of me putting the dirt back in the hole is reaching, it's up works to another $50,000 that there's no grants or anybody giving me any help to do this. I've been doing it myself and quite frankly, like the gentleman with the water softener. I mean, this is, I'm being strong on. So I'm complying in every way, I'm doing everything I can and I'm spending every extra dollar I can earn. As far as all the other stuff the officer speaks about, the gentleman in front of me that's right off of oil well is literally using his property to store stuff. Yet she continues to drive by that property to give me, I feel like I'm being targeted for some reason. And I think because of the beginning, continues to drive by that property to give me, I feel like I'm being targeted for some reason. And I think because of the beginning, I asked for a lot of, you know, I didn't really know what to do or how to go about this, but I was told by the officer that if I didn't get all of my stuff off the property, that it would be towed at my expense, and if I didn't comply, that the property would be taken from me. Last time in the courtroom I asked if that was true and I was told if I believe it was you or whoever else was up there that that in fact was not true. So I paid out a pocket to get farm equipment that I've owned that I've had in my family since 1974 which was handed down to me. I paid to get that removed and hauled off to the scrapyard, per the code officer telling me that I was not allowed to have that out of farm. I also in the report, it says that I was living out there, which is not true. My address is in North Fort Myers. That's my main residence and my home. This property is simply a place to go, efficient in the lake that I'm not allowed to have and 10 acres that I was trying to get some animals and some food on and just trying to do what everybody in that neighborhood is doing. I'm not doing anything differently than any of the neighbors. I understand. The issue, you know, as you can see from when you saw the aerials back going to 2014, the property was clearly in a wetland and, honestly, this is before you purchased the property, but the prior owner had excavated and son of the violate. So when I purchased the property, it was sold to me as one-third wetland. OK. But there is buildable property on there. I'm sure that's where,. And that's where in the one photo, that's where the pole barn was. Yeah. After Ian, the pole barn was blown down. I have, the photos aren't up there yet or today, but last time I was here, she showed the photos of the front gate, which is clearly marked no trespassing. And then all the photos taken beyond that were, you know, it was... Okay. were you know it was okay. It's a word. Let's stick with the hearing the issue we're dealing with. I just don't know what the issue is because I've been doing everything and I understand so the emails that you said back and forth indicate that there's that you're at least corresponding with the water management district. I've been compliant to them they have no issues and they didn't say that in any of those emails they just said that you need to go through the processing and the permitting and they said you should hire an environmental permitting person to help you with that. So that it shows to me that you're working through the process. I don't know what they require. The county, it's not the county's issue. That's a separate issue. What I'm trying to figure out for today's purposes is on the date of the re-inspection this June 18th, 2024. Were there any trucks that's understated? Were there any trucks that are understated? Yeah, just stick with me. Were there any continuing violations? And so, the county says they have no evidence that there's continued materials being held on site. So I'm going to consider that to be compliant. The issue of the vehicles, I'm a little fuzzier on. You said that they're there to do the work for the county. Yes, sir. But the email that you sent me from Dave, I can't remember, is Mr. Clark. Which is the same gentleman that's working for the county. I hired to help me put the dirt in the hole. Okay, but there's no indication in that email and he's doing work for the county. Well, that's because he didn't email me the county's paperwork. That's the business between E and I. So, okay, but I just try to get this clear because your testimony was that those vehicles were there to do county work. And now you're saying that you hired the same person that was doing the county work to do the work on your property. Yes, sir. So what are the purposes of those vehicles? Okay. Could you go to the aerial photo above any one of them will do. And it'll help me explain what they were doing. I'm just going to give you a good, yeah. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. OK, so if you see that aerial photo where that red dot is, do you see the ditch that runs alongside of that? Yes. That goes from 75 to 41. The only way they can gain access from that is either off of 75 or 41. David, the gentleman that's doing the work for the county, looked me up. However, he came about getting my number. He called me and he said, Adam, do you think I could gain access to that ditch from your property? I said, absolutely, it's funny you should call me because I'm looking for somebody that can help me move some dirt. So the day those photos were taken, those trucks were there doing county work. So those vehicles, if you look at them, they're high-sided, tree-to-movel, tree-removaled debris trucks. So what they did was they'd brought in the two excavators that are still there. They brought in two trucks that were dump trucks that had tank treads and then they brought in three or four of those large tree tree debris removal trucks. Okay, can we go back to the photo of the trucks just real quick so I can visualize what? So at the time that this was taken they were there doing county work. And they weren't being stored there. They were physically being used. They were coming in and out every day. Now what I did do is I did tell David if he'd like to leave them there overnight, that's fine because he was coming in the morning. He was working and then he was driving him back to wherever he was barking. So when this photo was taken, it may have been when they were there overnight but again sir I took photos yesterday of what it looks like they're right here and the only the only equipment that there is there now is the excavators. Okay. I'm going to add these to respondents composites of it. Now as far as the permits like I said it was going to cost me 150,000 to pull the permits and pay for the wetland. I told the people at the EPA that that was unobtainable and I couldn't afford it. I don't know if those emails say it, but I can get you the emails that say, they're okay with me filling in the pond that was dug. And they understand that one acre pond that's about 14 foot deep like I said is roughly about $48,000 in fill. So I've been working on getting every bit of dirt I can and the EPA isn't going to let this go. I'm into it with them like I'm into it you. That's why I asked today that if we could just dismiss all the code violations that would help me move forward with everything else. Because like I said, I really feel like I'm being targeted for whatever reason. And I contribute that to going back in the beginning when I've never been through this. I don't know how to go about navigating this. And I looked at the officer for help. And she's very overwhelmed with work. And I understand that she's doing a lot and she doesn't have the time to take with everybody that has violations. But I think because of my let me let me let me all my question and to begin it's causing me to be now under a fine tooth comb like I feel like anything is being let me walk through this a little bit more. So the so the trucks are all clearing uh they're actively involved in clearing out stuff. And I- The trucks are gone. The trucks are gone. No, no, no. The photos you showed me indicate the trucks are gone now. I'm focusing on this date. Sure. The trailer and the cargo container, what are those related to? Are those on your property? In the photo? Mm-hmm. Yeah, they were. Okay. And are they, but those aren't, those are part of the original violation the trailer that aren't. No, no, those are Davis. I believe what they do is they have a cold air condition space for the guys to get out of the eat. So they follow that whole setup is what he follows and goes around. And the black trailer in the other photo is where I want to say they do all the mechanics stuff. It's a semi-trailer. The outfit is a, so that black trailer right there, I've actually been in that trailer. It's a race car trailer and that's where all of their equipment for working on equipment is. Okay. And they do mechanics in that. They, they eat lunch in the trailer. They turn a scene. That's enough information. I want you saying that's that's what it's all part of. I'm trying to figure out that's related to your items or something else with respect to this this issue the contractors for the county does the county have anything on this information. I don't have anything on that information but we've already heard testimony that there the trucks are still not the truck There's an excavator on site. There's still ongoing violations Well, the excavator that I got photos of show that things are being done. I mean obviously excavators and things need to be used to clean up the property This has been undoing for two plus years. You're on or this case so With the fine that we're asking as you know, the county has a lean reduction program once the property does come into compliance, but this is our second ANC and we need to keep the progress moving forward. Well, I mean, the key I'm trying to figure out is it does appear that the progress is moving forward quite quickly. Have you seen the most recent photos? I have. the key I'm trying to figure out is it has appeared that the progress is moving forward quite quickly have you seen the most recent photos I have there okay Sean Colman cleaning zoning official if I may I'm trying to get with our public works folks this maybe those trucks may have been related to some of the debris cleanup we have had numerous debris cleanup people the fact still remains though that as of the date of the second ANC that being 618, 2024 the violations were still remaining. Well I don't know that because of those were county vehicles doing work. They're not county vehicles they would be a contractor. Okay if there's subcontractors to county vehicles they'd still be doing work. All subcontractors need to follow all the same regulations. Think of the prompt towing case. And we're taking them to code the course when you know they're about to. I respect that. But you wouldn't have me citing the county's towing vehicles when they're towing abatement vehicles off a property because they're not supposed to be there. I need clarity on this because this is a. What is this large? They indicate that's their condition. So when I was getting larger. I'm not inclined to dismiss the charges, but I'm also not inclined to impose $9,000 penalty. And I don't when all the other issues addressed with the case have been addressed by this point, except for these these items. Oh if the if the responding would like us to go out and allow us on site to verify these are the first we've seen in these photos as we're not allowed to enter the property. We've got the we've got the name of the well these photos are the county's photos I'm only relying on the county's photos. The ones he he presented to you where he's claiming that after since as I point this is this is this is nice to know but it's not relevant for the purposes of the of the violation the only thing that's relevant for the purpose of violation of those vehicles and either those vehicles are unrelated to the original violation or they are related to the violation that's all I really want to know and if they're related to the original violation in other words they're your vehicles, people have been renting the space, resulting to that degree. Then I'm going to impose the penalty, and once the property is cleaned up, you can reduce the fine through the county's process and still allow you to do that. If it's related to county contractors doing work on that ditch, we should be able to find that out pretty easily because we have the name of the contractor. We know that location of the ditch, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to continue this item to next month. And that's going to be the only item that is up for discussion. If the county contractors, and they are willing to identify that these are their vehicles, I'm good, I'm going to dismiss the ANC, the property. That doesn't mean the property is free and clear. It just means for the purposes of if anything else happens, it can still get fine. But if it turns out that there is no contractor out there or the contractor out there disavows any of these photos, then I'm going to impose the patent to you. Do you understand? Yes sir, That's great. If I may, sir, the photo show that I've cleaned up since the thing. Correct. Since the maps. Correct. There's numerous violations from the photographic evidence, a significant amount of them has been addressed. And so that's why I'm only focusing on the one thing that I actually have evidence. So just so I'm clear, what is it that you guys are requiring? I mean because as far as I understand, I was told at the last one that we went through the photos, you guys agreed that there was work being done, that everything was moving forward. And then I was told again by the registry that if I could just get it satisfied with the EPA, with the lake, then you guys would dismiss the case. So let me, I'm gonna ask this question to Officer Walbert. Are there any permits or anything else that's required at the county level? While he had that pole bar and that was knocked down. That's going in the hurricane. That's gone. That's gone. They've permitted that. There was a shed out there with permits. Well, assuming there's no more items that need to be permitted to stay. I mean, I'm looking at the list from the original findings of fact. And, you know, most of the items are just forget rid of things and the clearing was for when he poured the slab for the the Could you see the slab from the street? Pardon me could you see the slab from the street? From the street the street. No, I was standing on it talking to you. Right. After driving past five, no trespassing signs. The gate was open, you were there. The signs that said do not end. Never mind. No, it's not never mind. Well, we're not going back to the original. Well, I'm just saying. I understand that there's photo. If you didn't ask her to leave at the time that she was there, I didn't see what she pulled up, and that's why I think I'm being targeted and I'm being harassed. When I've kept her in contact, I've called her. Okay. I've sent her photos of my foot. Don't, don't. Mr. Reiber, don't break into jail at this point. Okay. We have one issue to resolve. I don't want to change my mind on this. I want to focus on the one issue that you've been very clearly established and we can check on. This is something that can easily be factually verified. So I'm glying to just take your word for it and go forward and follow up with the contractor and after that will be resolved. I mean, the issue is you will acknowledge that know, you take, look at the aerials and the changes of the property, those changes did occur. Those changes do require permit, those changes, regardless of whether a trip will crash fast or so. Just so I'm clear, looking at that. Let's go back. Okay, that's the way the property look like, and it's natural state. Correct. And now we move on to 22. This is two years after you bought it. That's a significant change. I mean, the fact that the gas is there. For every other person in here that's built a house and pulled a permit and gone through the process, that flies in the face of them saying, oh, I've just got a piece of land. I can stick stuff on. I've built diglates, put up buildings. And as long as I don't this is where I'm like I'm starting to get a little irritate. Let's let's focus on the issue. You've cleaned up the property. If you're going to work through the process with the permits for the for the lake to fill it back in or restore it or get a permit to keep it. That's absolutely fine. That's not a county issue. They're not asking about that. The issue that they are focused on right now is the junk like conditions storage vehicles. The photos that we show don't show any junk like conditions. So I'm good with that. The parking of the vehicles, we're gonna address that next month. And that's where we're gonna be. Clearing permit. Well, I asked you, did you need a clearing permit? Okay. Well, then we'll get a clearing permit. But let's, you know. What was cleared? but let's, you know, what was clear just and go back on the photos. I mean, go 2024 today. But there's no trees in that photo, sorry. If you look at it, there's no, we have not removed any trees if anything, not planted trees. Okay, well that's something that sounds the reason we'll continue to discuss. Let's move on to next month, let's move on to next month, let's deal with this contractor issue. All right, so we'll continue this to next month and we'll put this, let's put this at the old business so we can get it. Take care of first thing. Okay, thank you so much for the offer, Robert. Thank you, survivor. We'll click on back next month, please. All right. We're going to go to our next case is item 8 on the agenda COD 23-00746.

Has it been cleared out since this date it is. A lot of us spent cleared. We're still doing working from Eric and you. But yeah most of us have been cleared. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and enter in a one day fine of $70. Please confirm with Officer Davis that let him come out, reinspect, make sure that there won't be any additional fines. Okay. I think when you say we don't have number eights, we're gonna skip on that one. Okay. All right, thank you very much. Okay, thank you. Okay then. All right, this is. All right, Next case is item number 21 on the agenda. COD 23-00891. Property is 22143 Montrose Avenue for Charlotte. Officer Jewel. Is there a miss gates here? Okay. Take your time. Take your time, this. I'm going to sit here and just hold on a second. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hi, good morning, Miss Gates. Can I have some dates? Thank you. All right, just hold on with a second. If you want to sit down, while she's testifying, if that makes it easier for you, go ahead, but there's seats right there. But I'm going to ask Bob some jewel to go ahead. She's going to get talking for me. Well, she's, she'll do talking. It's not going to be for you though. So, she's got, what she's going to be testifying on is she's going to, your property was found in violation. At probably, let's see, let's go back. That property was found in violation back in September of 2023. The county went out then after the initial 15 days were given to clean up the property. And they cited it and charged you with this $70 one day fine. County then went back 90 days later, which is this hearing, and they checked on the property see if there's been progress made on it. And so what they're saying is no there hasn't been so that that one day fine has accrued up to to about $4,520. And so now what the county's gonna testify on is the status on that second time they went out to inspect and they're gonna show me photos saying guess the property's still in violation. So what that's important for you is if you understand within each of the violation of what needs to be done to clean up the property, once it's all cleaned up, you can come back and apply to the county and say, I would like to, I've cleaned up the property, I'd like to get the leans placed against my property removed and they will reduce those leans to I think there's a nominal amount that they have to charge and then the leans will be gone. Just understand that they're doing that to get your attention to get you to come here to get things cleaned up. Officer Chul. Tracy Dull certified co-compliance officer for Charlotte County.

I think there might be but I don't want to Actually being across our fingers in the We're not dealing with that the struck yeah at this moment we Here's still there's here's what I'm going to do. I am going to impose is this property homesteaded? Does this is this your mother's primary residence? Yes, I know. And when she gets her taxes does it have a discount on it? I'm some kind. I don't know. Let's check it. We don't know. I's check in there. Read it. I know I paid taxes. Okay. See, I'm working. So what I'm telling you is that the reason I'm mentioning this is there are leans that can be foreclosed and there are leans that just stay. Now, even if they stay and you can't be foreclosed they cause problems. So what I'm asking you is, you know, now it's on. Okay, so here's the issue. The county is going to continue, I'm going to impose these leans the $4,000. They'll continue to impose leans as long as the property is in the condition it is and for it And this is just the junk like materials all the stuff that's in the yard and the front yard on the side That's visible that isn't neatly tucked away in the in the carport or or you know otherwise spilling out of the house Okay, and and given that this property is not homestead and doesn't have homestead protection, I'm not saying the county would foreclose on it, but it's an option. And so I think it's very important, more important than other properties that you keep this property cleaned up. But it's homesteading. Homesteading is a protection that basically prevents your house from being taken by creditors. That's the context in which I'm discussing it today. Okay, so I'm just, I'm really trying to, don't worry about the siding right now, worry about cleaning up the outside. Okay, I'm gonna impose this, the county will come back in 90 days again, and again it'll be a one day fine, it'll be another $70 fine, but if continues it'll be it'll discontinued rack up now when it's all in compliance and you're you're sure that it's that it's good you come back in ask for them to reduce it and they will okay thank you Thank you The next case on is COD item 31 on the agenda COD 23-02950-350 Salisbury Street in Port Charlem. Morning, and you miss Franklin? Aye. Okay. All right, miss Franklin, just hold on with the officer teach. This seems to be ready. Savannah Teeve Certified Code Compliance officer for Charlotte County property address is 350 Salisbury Street owner of property is Vanessa Franklin case 202 950. Case was heard before the magistrate April 4th, 2024 for violations of Charlotte County code and Florida building code. I re-inspected the property on July 10th, 2024. This is the first day in C, which is a one day fine in the amount of $70. Okay. All right. Can we see some photos of the property? So the shed's been removed. Okay. There was originally a shed they were going to be using for living purposes, if permittable. But they still have some belongings as well as a vehicle on the lot at time of inspection. Okay. Alright, Miss Franklin. Everything is gone, you're on it. Everything's gone? Is that that car gone? Yes, that car is legal. I was just sitting there because we are renting right now and didn't have a spot for it, but our landlords made room for it. Well, thank you very much for cleaning it up. I am going to give you a little slap on the wrist of $70. Thank you. But if it's all cleaned up, then we'll be back here again and you won't have the situation we just saw. All right, thank you so much. Thank you very much. All right, go ahead and enter. Thank you very much. All right, go ahead and enter the room. All right. Next case is item 36 on the agenda COD 23-01906. This is property at 2065 Mississippi Avenue in England. This is a first half of the noncompliance the amount of $70. Good morning. I do not want to butcher this last name, so if you guys could help me out here for me. It's actually large in. Largen? Yes. Oh, OK. And what is your relationship to the property? Are you guys the owner? I'm the owner. OK. All right. Officer drown. Take it away. Take your honor. John drowns certified to compliance officer, Charlotte County. The property address is 2065 Mississippi Avenue. The owner is Carlin. It's actually Carlin-Larvin. Case number COD-23-01906. The case was heard before the magistrate on June 5, 2024. For the violation of unpermitted pool and offense, junk like conditions, outside storage. I reinspect the property on July 11, 2024 and found the violations substantially still exist. There is no permit for the demo or for the installation of the pool or the fence. And the violations substantially the same. This is the first ANC, which is a one day fine for the amount of $70. Okay, can we take a look at the photos? This is from the reinspection. Are that from the first agency? Okay. All right. So, where are we at? What's the plan? It looks better. It looks better. I never seen any of this. Well, a lot of that's a result of the end, but yes, the bulls in violation. And with the rain that we've been getting here recently, it's been a swamp back there. So I intended to have that taken care of by today's days. Okay. But if we could get an extension on that, that would be great. Well I can't give you an extension on the original order but what I'll tell you, this is the process the county uses. They cite you for a one day fine $70.50 plus the filing piece. $70 just to kind of remind you that they're supposed to come into compliance and then they will come back 90 days later to do a re-inspection. And if it's still in bad shape at that point, they'll actually tack the $50 for 90 days and that's how we get to the $4,000 figure that some people have been had today. So you have a 90 day built-in cushion to get this done. Now what I would say is before that 90 days is up, if you're pulling permits, if you've got a contractor coming out, if you've got things moving steadily ahead, please contact Officer Drown. Because he doesn't want to bring you back here and he wants to get just this done first. So that'll be... No, here's a thing we reached out to uh Mr. Drome on six different occasions through the email and never received any type of return email or feedback okay trying to get a little bit of clearer guidance on what was needed. So as a installed fence, I would like to know what the county would consider the definition of a fence, because you see the blind, the piece back there in the right corner. Mm-hmm. That is about 10 feet down and 10 feet the other way. Just to block the backyards of the other back neighbors. Well, I'm going to get that that probably considered that offense. Your Honor, we would consider that offense. It outlines basically the property line. It's not just one panel that's blocking the trash can or anything like that. Well, Officer Drown, while they're here, then you've got a captive audience. Do you have any questions for Officer Drown? Now? Excuse me. You have any questions? You said you've reached out to him. They were already here by now. Excuse me. You have any questions you said you've reached out to some. We're already here by now. I know, but you have the questions because ultimately he's going to make the determination of whether or not the property those items come back to me for compliance. And we did go into permitting and spoke with Gail Gerstry. Gerstry? Gerstry? She invoores there's no need to go into Germets. So we're getting conflicting information and Not really knowing which way to go Doring that conversation with her also yet Kelly Stewart and Julie Julia Gala free never also that conversation Okay. Let's see here. Officer, Dr. I want you just really briefly walk through what the outstanding issues are so that... Well, the outstanding issues, as you can see, they started to construct the pool. Rather, they're going to remove it or install it. Either way is going to require a permit to put it back the way it was. So let's start with that. The fence obviously was part of the complaint because the neighbors apparently were indisputed rather than on their property or not. Which is why they brought it into play. The original person found the complaint is not one of those neighbors. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't. It doesn't. Just, however, that, and as you can tell by the debris and there was also some concerns with Windows and Doors, which I did speak with them on the initial visit. First, how I spoke with you and I laid out for them at that point. Okay. So we got, we got three areas to dress. One, I'll go to the last verse, which is the Windows and Doors. Okay. address. One, I'll go last first, which is the windows and doors. Okay, remember any windows replacement needs a permit. Basically, they just board it up because it's okay. Okay. And if they're fine underneath it, that's fine, but if they are damaged and they need a very place, they need to get a permit. The fence, if it stays up, it needs a permit. And the pool needs a permit, one way or the other. What type of permit are you? A pool permit, and a fence permit. It's going to be removed. Is the attack. Okay, well, as I understand it from officer drown, there may be a permit required for filling back the pool. And what would that permit be for? Would it be a demo permit for it to keep not getting rid of the pool. And what would that permit be for fill? Would it be a demo permit for keep not getting rid of the pool or would it just be a fill permit? Well as part of the demo I think they can include the fill because obviously they remove filter or they moved earth so they're going to have to put it back and it's going to have to be slumped. So you either need a pool permit or a demolition permit. Excuse me. So when I went into the building, I believe it was either Julie or Kelly that I was speaking to. The manager, she told me that a demolition permit was not going to be needed. So that day I left. OK. All right, there would still be the issue of permit for the pool. Look, that's only if they are keeping the pool. So, here's the deal. Let's get back to them. Let's get the answer clear. If you keep in the pool, you need a pool permit. If you're getting rid of the pool, we need... Could you, after soon as we clear out right here, give your email address to Officer Drown, and he will email you directly with the answer on the Hill Contact Building Department and he'll email you and say whether or not a motion permit or not is needed because otherwise we're gonna have this round around issue. Windows, you're aware. So if the board's come off and you put in new windows, get a permit and then the fence, if want to keep it you need a permit and So if if I'm going from the how do I get into compliance as fast as humanly possible? I either pull a pull permit or pull a demo permit and do the work and I take the fence down And I don't replace any windows and I'm compliant and it's just you know cleaning up any items that are sitting around the yard. They may be to replace the windows down the road a little bit because we need all the ones in the back but yeah there may be some confusion rather the fence needing a demo permit the fence wouldn't they just have to either and get a permitted or remove it the pool on the other hand would require a permanent use. Right, and if you could just put that in writing to them, I think that just makes it. I'll get it to you for reference in your subject matter. I will look into those emails, but I typically import them into the case if I do get any emails. This is first that I'm aware of that, I'll check into it. But in the subject line, please put your address in there and that allows me a quick search okay thank you all very much thank you all right I'm gonna go ahead and do it just do the one day 75 all right next case I'm 42 COD 23-01850 23-06 Omar Street in Port Charm. This is for Urbana Cuc construction services at LLC. Good morning. Is it morning still? Yeah, we're still there. I'm sorry. Can I get your name, gentlemen? Omar. Omar? Okay. Just like the street. Yes. Okay. And are you the property owner? Listen, he's Omar. And dress and dress and Omar and one of your last names. Quintetto. Q U. I see. All right. You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, Officer Fried. David Fried, Certified Code Compliance Officer for Charlotte County. The property address is 2, 3, 0, 6, Omar Street. The owner of the property is Urbanica Construction and Services LLC. Case is COD 23-01850. Case was heard before the magistrate November 1st, 2023 for the violations of parking, 39, 7-9.1. I re-inspected the property on July 17, 2024 and found the violations still exist. There's a vote on the property. This is the second ANC, which is a one-day fine of $120. Okay, and the vote was parked on a vacant piece of property for a different time. Yes, yes, it's it's vacant. I believe the boat is actually neighbors. Okay. All right, do you understand what the issue is? Yes. Okay, has it been cleared up already? I don't know, I haven't checked the property yet. Because that boat, it is an hour. It's the third time we came here for the same issue. Because that boat is from the neighbor and He's been called up here like months ago for the same issue because he's been parking on his stuff in another Another properties as well. So we already spoke with him once the first time we we got call call up We spoke with him He agreed with us. He didn't do anything. Then we sent a letter to him. That was the second time we got call up here. And now this is the third time. Well, you might get a free boat out of it. So, exactly that. I really spoke with it. We lost our stuff. I'm not encouraging anything. He had a bad behavior, but I mean, all right, well, I really have a lot of options here. I mean, the county can go and remove the boat, but the problem would be that they would then lean the property for the cost of removing the boat. The neighbor would probably run to the, to the impound yard and pay all those fines and get them back. But you know, ultimately you need it. It's your property and if someone's using your property in a way that you didn't ask for, you need to get addressed. So I'm going to I'm going to impose the county's $120 pet fine. But I just want you to be clear the next one would be $9,000. So it's absolutely worth it to get this taken care of. And that would be 90 days from now. I'll buy you a bag of that bowl. Just hook a truck up to it and leave it there for a day or two and see what the neighbor does then. All right, thank you, gentlemen, very much. Thank you. All right, the next case is item 53, COD 23 to 03042. Property is 5741 B. Twitch Street in Puntagorda. Morning, sir. You Mr. Flores. Yes. Okay. All right. Give us just a second. All right. Sir Mansfield's gonna give me to the details in the case and then we'll talk, okay? Officer Mansfield started by code compliance officer of Charlotte County, filling in for officer Rick Hall, property address is 5, 7, 4, 1 Beachwood Street, owner of the properties Gustavo Flores, Wres, COD 2303042, case was heard before the matter straight on June 5th, 2024, for the violations and the junk for him to use, resulting permits. Rick Hall, reinspected the property on July 10th, 2024 and found the violations for the no permit for the shed. Still exists. This is the first ANC one day fine in the amount of $70. Okay, so if we can pull up the photos from that. If I recall originally the issue was the property was being used kind of as a construction yard in addition to the work being done. And all the construction materials are gone now. It's just the shed. These are the reinspection. I have, you see? Yes, please. I got one containing removal, June 10th. I saw me, the guy super based on my place. He said, he removed this one. He moved little building, the kitchen. Right. All the rest is okay, I saw me. But I have a little white trial over there. I paint permits for stay over there. He said, you need a only permit for a little chicken, you remove the container, remove the container, June 10, people's got pick up, you know, because it's very, it's not easy people catching the trucks take away, you know. Right, right. But it's moved now. Okay. Yes. So the only issue, and I believe, Officer Rand's fellow, I believe you're the testament for the inspection, the only issue and I believe offsprings feel I believe you're the testament for the for the inspection the only outstanding issue was Yes, the permit for the shed. Yeah, and so All the other stuff you said was take care Did can we pull up and see if a permits been issued for that as of this morning? There was none Okay, so you do need to there's not showing a permit for this property Do you have any information on the permit? It's a small shed, so it should just be a desperate. It should be in an out kind of thing. You don't like doing engineer or anything like that. Yeah, I come in over here, I check and see, but I paint before I turn the lady to me, this is painting Gustavo. You don't need to move this one because you take a witness for that one. You know there's more shed, the little white small shed I put my tools over there. Do you remember when you when you came in? Ah like this like a month, two months, it's close to months because when I moved the blue containing ten June 10 I come and I splendidly moved. Right. He said that I try to call in the guy super based on my place. I leave a message for telling I move the blue containing. So I think the issue is, I think they got confused. There was the blue container and then there's the white shed. So they told you you don't need a permit for the blue container because it's gone. You still do need a permit for the white shed. So what you need to do is you need to take some photographs, get a measurements of the shed, and how big is the shed, and go back in and tell them you just need a shed permit. If the shed is under a certain size, they give you a permit and you're done. Not for the little shed, it has a permit. I pay for this permit, March. If you have a receipt for that, I don't know if you might not have it on you. I need a look and see this. Give me a look at the paper, but I come in and the place will be here only. You take a permit. The lady is a Gustavo. You don't need a paid double permit, but I pay you in March's payment before these try that. Even the inspection from May, there was still no permit. There, whenever he spoke, would Mr. Rick spoke to the... But... Yeah. Okay. Well, let's... All right, Mr. Floor, as far as... I'm gonna... I'm gonna just do a $70 fine. Okay Please get with his officer his officer hall gonna be back now, okay, so Officer Mansfield you can get your con give him a card or you can get a card in the back for officer Mansfield just so he can confirm Whether you department or not because it doesn't look like in the system that there's any in any permits file for this property Okay, so you would just need to get that shed permit and I'm just eyeballing it. I think it's gonna comply but you need to He may need to reach out to the permitting desk to find out Okay, no problem. All right. Thank you. Thank you so much Alright next case is item 55 COD 24 to 0 0 0 5 5 64 52 Austrian Boulevard and Punta Guard This is an affidavit first affidavit noncompliance the amount of $70. Mrs. Tindle? Yes, sir. Mr. Tindle, I'm just giving a suggestion. Mr. Greenwood, as soon as you get a chance. Mac Greenwood, Charlotte County Code Compliance, property address is 6452, Austrian Boulevard, owner of the properties, Nicole Tindall, case number is COD 2400055. Case was heard before the magistrate on May 1, 2024, for the violations of upper chunk like conditions. We're here to use an agriculture tree removal. I reinspected a property on June 21, 2024, and did a review of the database and found that the violations substantially still exist. This is the first ANC, which is a one-day fine amount of $70. Okay, so before I go to Miss Tindle, so there was clearing on the property to tree removal, and then there was a lot of equipment on the site for future construction. I didn't really look at all the photos. It's more construction materials than it's junk like condition. But there's some old vehicles in the back of the vehicle. So I see the vehicles are still there. But from a purpose of compliance, what is specifically needed? There's the vehicles have to be removed unless they meet the code for operational vehicles. But the tree clearing permit needs to be filed. And then the equipment needs to be moved off the site. Okay, I just wanna make sure that all those things are clear for you So all right, Miss Tindal. What's going on with property? Well, we are currently in process with permitting To get a large, I guess they call it a garage Because it's so big. I believe it is a 30 by 50 shed that we're were garage that we're building. Permitting should be cleared any day. Now I've complied with everything they've asked for. The lady over there told me they had everything. They only required a special document. I guess Charlotte Coyoney requires a special document for large garages. And I had to resubmit those plans with the specific specifications they Charlotte County requires but I did that a few weeks ago and we're just waiting on that and yes you are correct it is construction equipment on the property to do the construction for the property. There is only one vehicle that is not an actually properly tagged vehicle. And obviously it's not road legal. It is the very large vehicle there. I'm currently still looking for some kind of place to store that until the shed is erected, but it will eventually go inside of the shed. And then as far as the tree clearing, We have not cleared any trees that were native or not allowed to be removed. The only tree that was taken from the property that was a pine was one that fell during the storm and it was downed on the ground and we removed it from the property. Okay. All right, so I see that a permit was supplied for a May 8th and that it's ready to, it's actually ready for issuance. So it looks like all those issues are being resolved. The original compliance date was May 1st, the Amidst of Pitches a few days. So I'm going to, I'm going to, I am going to do the one day fine of $70. Yes, sir. But I think that, oh, springwood, I think that this looks like this one's well on its way to get resolved. On the clearing issue, how does that get resolved if there's a dispute on whether or not there were trees? May I? Because I think that needs to be cleared out. I also did apply for removing trees with the shed. Okay. So I mean it should be included in that permit to remove the trees that are in the area of the shed. I did mark them on the plan to be removed. Okay. So there are trees that are going to be removed? There are, yes, when the shed is or the garage is installed, yes. So it might have been in the details of the permit, but you do need to file a separate permit for the removal of the trees. It's not a clue. Okay. You're honorifying me. Okay. Sean Cullinan playing zoning official. The clearing permit is not just for trees. It's for any vegetation disturbance of soils to make sure that there are no listed species, anything like that. So by virtue of this property being disturbed they would need a clearing permit even to mulch, clear the underbrush all of those things that's required. There was no underbrush on the property. There was high grass which is considered under brush under our cover. Well we moat it and it was gone. I mean I didn't think I needed a clearing permit to mill my own yard., we need to check for wetlands. We need to check for listed species because it's an undeveloped lot with no permit issued on it. So yes, you would need a permit too. There's a permit in. There's a permit in. It doesn't look like the county's taking any action on it since May. So we're just trying to... Just to do that. Correct. Correct because we can't issue that until the Structure permit is issued we can't issue for speculative clear. All right. Well then it looks like all the permits have been applied for Thank you very much. Thank you Next case item 57 on the agenda COD 24 to zero zero 422 That was continued All right, I wasn't paying attention All right next case item 60 on the agenda COD 22 to zero 2 1 6 0 1 6 Laundon land and law LLC for property at 41, 390, 41, 330, cook ground road and put a gourd out. How are you doing? Good, how are you? I'm doing all right. All right, what do we got today? Your Honor, on this one, I hope you don't remember us. I do. Unfortunately. Your Honor, on this one, we have filed for the site plan review. The site plan review went through the process, took a little longer than normally required, but we did get all of the responses back. There were, I think, three or four departments that had issues with items in our application. I sent the main ones, the most important ones I believe over to the engineer to work on those issues. I then left the country on a vacation that I had been planning for years. I was told it would be done before I got back. I got it last night at 4.45. I returned from my vacation three and a half weeks ago. So apparently, you know, the old, if I'm not there bothering the engineer, I go to the back of the line apparently. So we do finally have, I have not had a chance to review it. Again, getting it at 4.45 yesterday, I apologize to the court. I didn't have a chance to review to make sure he's actually done the items that were in misnote checks, a list of items that needed to be corrected. There are two other outstanding main issues, both of them regarding requirements from Southwater Management District. However, Southwater Management District has no jurisdiction on this property as FDEP has taken over jurisdiction. So we're trying to find out if FDEP has the same duties in regards to what the county's demanding from South Water Management. Or if because they're in control, a letter from them, trumps the requirement of anything from South Water Management and dealing with the state agencies as worse than dealing with my engineer. So that's where we're at, your honor. We have the only way to cure this other than putting it back the way it was, which is not my client's intention, is to get the site plan permitted. We have the registration from the state, but we do not have the site plan approved. We are two sections away from being able to resupply that application. I'm hoping to be able to supply it realistically by the end of the month beginning of the following month if I can get a response from FDEP slash south water management district as it relates to those issues because if it's not FDEP's jurisdiction as it relates to those two issues then there's more engineering that needs to be done and it will take probably I've being quoted anywhere from six months to nine months to get those reports done in order to resupply. Okay so here's the only thing I mean this is not going to be something that's resolved shortly. I wish it was but most likely not so here's the the only real question I have. I'm going to impose the lean for continuing noncompliance. Once the permits are issued and you get passed Miss Nocheck, which you know could be like 2027, 2028. the it'll stop everything will stop while the work is being done but what I'm just trying and I'm checking right now on a confirm that the County's lean relief program applies to commercial leone pieces property which it appears to I don't. So I just want to make sure that, let you know. But the fines will continue to accrue until this issue is resolved. All right. And what is that just for the record, John? It's $22,000 and $520. $2,000 to $520 is the current imposition that the county's asking for, Mr. Dominguez. Great. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right. I don't see that there's anyone else here for an affidavit of noncompliance. So I'm going to improve the balance of counties affidavits having reviewed them previously. And move on to the new cases. Now everyone, the new cases, these are, as I discussed earlier, these are the cases of first impression, okay? So unlike the ones we just went through where we're discussing whether or not the property goes into appliances of a date imposed in an order. These are cases in which the county has to bring the case forward. I have to find that an agreement with the county at the property is in violation. And at that point, if I agree, then what I want to have a conversation with you as the property owners is do you understand what needs to be done? How long do you need to do it? And then I will impose a timeframe to come into compliance and a potential penalty for noncompliance. I also may award depending on the nature of the violation, the cost of abatement to the county. So if the property in question is a single family house and for some reason, the property owner is a collector of shopping carts and there are 40 shopping carts in the front yard and they can't bring it in compliance with the date imposed in the order. I may authorize the county to go and they remove the shopping carts at the owner's expense. Let me, I'll just warn you all if we didn't have any of those today, but the costs for those can be fairly extensive. We also have, in some cases, where there are junk like conditions or issues that are reoccurring, the county may ask for me to impose a cease and desist order, which essentially says, alright, you clean the property up, but for the next period of time, whether two years or five years, depending on the nature of the violation, if there is a recurrent to the violation. Let's say that you have a old 1960s Camaro that you've been planning on working on for your entire life and you just never got around to it but it's just a shell of vehicle with no tires, no wheels and no roof and you remove it to comply with my order but then six months later you sneak it back into the property okay well those those cease-and-dissist orders will serve to allow the county to immediately begin finding the property again without having to bring it back to me. So I just want, when I make those orders, I want everyone to be clear what exactly I'm doing. The purpose and intent of that is to bring the property and compliance and nothing more. So the work towards compliance, there won't be any issues. Don't work towards compliance and there's a range of tools that the county asks for and I'm inclined to give them a most cases. So with that we're going to call our first case and that's item A under new business the COD 24-00967 this 0 2 or 2 5 0 4 or 2 5 0 6 or 2 5 0 8 or 2 5 0 1 2 Highlands Road in Ponte Corde. Where are you sir? All right are you Mr. I'm sorry if I put you this a loser? A loser correct. Okay. I feel good. I got it right. All right Mr. Luzzi. As I said before, we have a right to remain silent. I recommend raining silent, unless I need to ask any questions. All right, Officer Walberg. My name is Gloria Walberg, certified co-compliance officer environmental and certified landscape inspector Charlotte County, COD 24-0967. The address of the violations,02, 2504, 2506, 2508, or 2512 Highlands Road. Zoning is commercial general. The owner of record is Anthony Luzzi. On April 23rd, 2024, I conducted an inspection and observed the following violations of clearing tree removal during scrub j nesting season and piles of tree debris remaining on the property. During the investigation I took photographs of the property I'd like to offer the photographs and evidence as a company composite exhibit number one. Okay, seeing no objection so enter. Notice a violation was served by Certified Mail in accordance with Florida Statute 162. I've had communication with the owners regarding this case. On June 3rd, the clearing permit has been rejected for not submitting the settlement agreement, no payment for HCP fees or scrub J fines. On July 12th, a subsequent review of that ad-base on the permit remains under rejection. August 28th, 2024, I conducted the final inspection finding the violation still substantially the same. This is the end of my testimony. Okay. All right, Mr. Alluzzi. So the issue here being you're looking to develop your property clearing, unfortunately being in deep creek, especially in Long Island, Zavinew, is an area known to be inhabited by endangered species, scrub jay, and go for torsists. And so you need to go through the process of getting all that cleared up. You understand all that? Yes. You better not clearly talk about this ball bird. Are you planning on moving through that process? Before I'd have begun, I got clearing permits, and I got scrub jay permits as well. The problem with the property I was unaware of, it's broken up into 25 foot by 125. So there's five lots. That's why we had all those addresses. Yeah, so the scrub jfes with the scrub jfine was over 10 grand. I paid three of the scrub jfes and I paid the fine as well as the clearing permit to move forward on the property. I just had two more scrub jfes to pay. And I didn't do any cleaning on the property. I just had two more scrub jade fees to pay, and I didn't do any cleaning on the property because I was told or believed not to be able to clear until I cleared up the scrub jade fees. Right. And that's why I'm here now. Okay. So, and I just want to, for my own application, because the issue on the issue on the fines, it gets higher when you have a larger buildable lot. So it actually, the fact that you have a bunch of small lots and they're charging individual fines is cheaper than if it was one big one. So that just tends to be because the way the the county has a settlement with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to allow for the permits to go through. And if they didn't do it, you'd have to go and hire someone who's spent a lot more time and money to go through the federal process. And the way that's set up is the larger the property, the more impact, so the fines get bigger. So the fact that actually that your property is broken up into these little locks probably aids you, even though it doesn't feel that way when you're looking at that penalty. So what the county's asking for is, well, the junk like conditions still, the issue is still there, but like he says, he doesn't want to do anything till the permits issued. Well, how much time is the county asked him for on this one? Well what we need is that settlement agreement signed and dated by you. We never received that. It's not in the system. Well where did you you have a copy of it? We do. How does it get into the system? he applies for the permit? He should have filled out the HCP form and the settlement agreement and then they attach it into the Vagna. Yeah, for the screen. Yeah. Do you mind if I just briefly take a look at it? Absolutely. Looks like it's signed. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. Looks like it's signed. Affidavit signed. May have sent it on to the mischievous. That sounds like the right way to do it. So here's what I'm going to do. There's a lot of the little issues here. Permits of clearing all the stuff that you need to get resolved. That should all move. As soon as we got confirmation that you should be able to move forward with getting all that done, County was asking for 15 days. That's submitted. I'm going to push that back a bit. He's here since he gave you some time to get those. You have the permits in already, you said? He can. Yeah. Okay. I can get another one. So I'm going to give you, yes, what's the issue? The document that he presented is the HCP agreement that's not the settlement agreement. I have a blank copy of the that I can give to him at this point. Okay, why don't you give him that? Well, I'm going to give extra time anyway because I, you know, until the occupant is approved, the real issue seems to be the junk like conditions are going to sit out there and tell something that gets resolved. And I quite frankly think that position is reasonable. Thank you. All right. I'm going to, Mr. Luzzi, I'm going to give you 90 days to come into compliance. That's to get all those, that's to get the property cleared up and all those permits finally issued. And if after that the violation is not resolved that there's still outstanding issues, it could be up to $250 a day for pound. Oh, it'll be good. Okay. I'm going to add a bateman on this one to the county just in case they need to clear it up, but they're not going to do that any time soon. So don't, you know, so you can get everything done in 90 days and I appreciate you going to the process. Thank you, sir. All right, next case for your call is item B on the agenda. COD 24 to 01124. Properties 28359 or 2365 Morningside Drive in Dakota. And we do have an interpreter for that. Okay, we have an interpreter for this one. Yeah. All right. Good morning, sir. Good morning. Morning. All right, Mr. Lopez. Officer Walberg is going to raise the case. She's going to testify. Go ahead and listen to her. When everything's done, and you've had a chance to look at the photos then I'm gonna. I'll talk with him My name is Gloria Walberg certified co-compliance officer and very mental and certified landscape inspector of Charlotte County The addresses of the violation is 28359 or 28365 morning side drive zoning is RSF 3.5 the owner of record is Devere Quintero Lopez On May 8th all right, let's pause from that let her translate. Oh, okay It's a lot to remember Okay. Okay. Okay. May 8th, I conducted an inspection, observed the following violations of clearing tree removal, piles of fill and shell, and a drive pipe installed with damage to the right way. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. I'm seeing you. Okay. Okay. In the end. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property. I would like to offer inhabitants. It's County Composite Exhibit No.1. I have an evidence, yes. Okay. The one, Senyana, what are you? I have an objection. So I enter. Notice the violation was served by certified bail in accordance with Florida statute 162. I've had communication with the owners regarding the case through an interpreter. May 23rd, the clearing permit that includes right away has been issued in his pending right away final. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Can you please show the right way picture back? He's not sure what you mean. Yeah, can we go back to that? Hey. In great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, in great, The piles of fill remain on site. He's the microphone a little bit better. Sorry. Hi. There you go. Hello. On July 8th, the site inspection found the piles of fill remain on site tree debris in the right way and an unpermanent culvert pipe which is privy to use the property. August 1st, the right away inspector, Andrew, him, and the spot. Yeah. OK. Inspected the right away and stated he must remove the shell, temporary pipes, and any tree debris in the right away. Don't ask. You could see right there, actually. Great inside. Gloria, hold up. Hold up. The right away. She wants to continue to interpret. So you need to just take a few breaks in there. The right way. She wants to continue to interpret. So you need to just take a few breaks in there so she can... So, she was saying that the... the trees and the pipes that were there were a good inspection and they still were there. Is that was May 20th? Are you 28th? July 28th? July 28. July 28, this is the way. August 1st, right away, it's better was there. Okay, so let's look. I'm going to play more. Yes. We have a solution to make a house. I can't make the house. Yes. Yes, it has to be all this, that's in the right away. And the whole thing and all the way. Yes, he's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. He's the right way. of discussion about right away. That's not what he's meant. He would like to put a family home there. He was given two options that was to remove the debris and not do anything or remove the debris and build a home. Okay. So he's starting the house process. Okay, and the county's already issued the permit for the clearing, all the clearing. Is he, the question I, well, he has to figure out is, the county is requiring two things. One, he approved the clearing, but the big piles of fill either have to be removed or if he's building a house When he submits the permit for the house if that fill is for the house He may be able to keep it but until he submits the permits for the house they want it gone Now that's that's issue one that I understand and issue two is the driveway into the into the property. That has to be it's they've approved a permit for him to have the driveway but he has to make the driveway and compliance with the with the permit which means it has to be the right kind of culvert the pipe under the, and everything cleared up, and then grasped appropriately. So if he does all those things, he's on his way. And it sounds like he's doing all those things. Okay. He's saying that if he goes to the house, he can do it. The gravel, the gravel, and that... You can use it to make the house. But it has to be made a new one for the house in the Shardin County Building Department. And you know, he's working with a contractor. The contractor is going to submit it. Do you know how long? No. So be it, ya. Yes, it's survey. Okay, the survey is done. And how long is the contract to give permission today, mañana para poner el permiso del bill de para de sin tu ti no no nuevo casa, es que parecen lo. I don't know. So here's my, unless anyone from the county has any insight on this, my, my thought is that he's already starting to come into compliance. And so I would find that he was in violation, but I would give him time To be able to submit the the home permit because it seems to me ridiculous I'm gonna remove the fill and bring the fill back and You know you guys are trying what you're doing treble penalties anyway on the on the permits for this stuff Are you do you Do you do extra fine permits? I mean, you're allowed to do that. I don't know if you can just do that. Yeah. OK. So there's not, you know, this isn't part of the process. He's being punished all along the way. I don't want to just make a pile on, make it work. He's probably the one that says it. But I'm supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are supposed to. But we are going to give him 90 days to submit a building permit. Okay, and if he submits the building permit and they say, you know, and that gets issued and he can use the fill on site, I think he's going to be okay. All right. And. Thank right. And. Thank you so much. After that time though, it would be the county can charge you $50 a day to keep moving. So I want that to be clear and I will. Okay. I will authorize them to clear it themselves if they need to after that. Thank you, sir. Okay. All right. So we're going to go ahead and just do that. 90 days, $50. We're two years ceasing the system to order so that it doesn't get more stuff, doesn't get dropped on the property next two years. And I'm going to award a payment cost. And that's 90 days for issuance or 90 days to get something moving on the payment cost. And that's 90 days for issuance. There are 90 days to get something moving on the permit itself. I would, do you guys have a sufficiency level for permitting? No, because you get an issue. Yeah, it's based on issuance. OK. Well, I'm going to do 90 days to issue. OK. No, I'm going to leave it to you for that. You've been missing. It's a blast at the end. Yes, yes, yes. I'm going to say, no. Thank you so much. Two weeks. Yeah, OK, well. So we're not going to document it, but he said he'll do it in two weeks. He understands and thank you so much. Thank you. Okay All right. All right. Miss Only? You've been sitting there patiently. If you don't mind, I'm going to move you up and we'll hear you next if that's okay. Okay. That's going to be off some more, sorry. John, just hanging out, you'll be fine. This is, I'm moving up to item CC on the agenda. COD 24 to 01425. Property is 11441 Wilmington Boulevard. There are 6091 Tetter Street before Charlie. All right, in. Can we go now? It's only just give us one second. Yeah, you've served us problems. Can we move the microphone down for her, please? Oh, you got it? I could stand, but we'll weep a little. No, I can hear you just fine. All right. Officer Moore, are you ready? We're now more certified Coca-Cola Blanc's officer for Charlotte County. The address of the violation is 11441 Wilmington Boulevard or 6091 Teter Street Port Charlotte. The zoning is RSF 3.5. The owner of record is Denny A. Olney and Stacey Olney. On June 18th, 24, inspected the property and served the following violations. Inoperable vehicles improperly stored trailers full of junk and outside storage of miscellaneous items, including but not limited to multiple bicycles, wood, metal plastic bins, metal plastic bins, and other miscellaneous items creating a junk like condition and prohibited use of the property. This is also an undeveloped lot. The owners of the property are repeat offenders. During the investigation I took photographs of the property I'd like to offer the photographs into And a copy of the previous findings and the evidence is County composite exhibit one. Okay Let's go. I know. You should give it a try. I guess I'm not going to wear that in my life. I'm just going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do something to do it. I'm going to do this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put this in the door. I'm going to put to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to accept a portion of county's evidence as county's composite exhibit one. There are several photos, photos 16, 15, 11, 10, 14, 8, 9, 6, 7, 12, and 13 that Mr. Mrs. Only object to indicating that they are in adjacent property. Which we will be hearing later. Okay. All right. So with that, please continue. The notice of violation reserved by Certified Mail in the Corners Florida Statute 162. I have had contact with the owner, Mr. Olney, who readily admitted to moving all of these items from his other property at 10406 Valerie to this property, so his Valerie address would be in compliance for the order you handed down on December 6, 2023. As of August 27, 2024, the violations remain the same final vote is on the I appreciate the sentiment Mr. Mrs. Oli about moving the items. One time my wife yelled at me and told me to clean out the garage so I moved everything into a storage container and so she thought I got a lot of credit for moving it the first day until she realized I hadn't actually got rid of anything and then I got in trouble. So that's kind of the way I view this. You can move it to clear one property but then you've created a violation somewhere else. So you understand that these items need to be removed off of a vacant property into some former storage or they need to be taken into the junk process. So you'll be giving things to the dump. Okay. I don't want that over a month. Okay. Due to the rain and just being by myself doing it, I'm going to do it. So it's taking away time. Okay. Well, how much additional time do you need to get it completed? I don't know. Okay. Do you need to get it completed? Okay, I'm Understand some of them are not your property, but we'll we'll deal with that Issue that issue separately so I'm gonna I'm gonna climb the counties asking for 15 days clean things up and they're actually only asking for $50 as a fine amount which technically for repeat violations they can go up to $500 so they're they're sounds like they're being very generous so with that what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you additional time to clean at the property but with every piece I give I give, I'm gonna take something. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you 90 days to clean it up, okay? But I'm gonna increase the potential fine to $100 per day. So I'm giving you, I'm like five X number of days from what the county's asking for to clean it up, but I'm gonna double the penalty in case it doesn't happen. Is that clear? Is that acceptable to you? All right. So I think that's a very fair way of dealing with it. And hopefully, things will start to dry out for the 90 days. So it'll be a five, it'll be a 90 days to come to compliance. After that, it would be $100 per day for continuing violation. Because it's a re-binar repeat issue, I'm gonna enter in a new two year season to sister order to prevent it from coming back. And I'm gonna award the county cost of abatement if they have to go in there and clean that up. Okay. All right, thank you, Mr. Mrs. Olin. Thank you. Oh, yes. OK. All right, I have one more case. I'm going to take out a order. I've got a respond or witness is going to be unavailable. So I'm going to move on to item RR COD 23-01923 properties 21-496 Holdren Avenue in Port Charlotte officer Mansfield Yes. Good morning sir. Can I get your name please? Absolutely. Good morning. Carlos Lundona. On behalf of the property owners. Jamie Gallemedia, I file my notice or letter representation yesterday. I sent it in an email. Okay. All right. Do you have any preliminary items that you want to discuss for move on to the county move their case? No, no preliminary items. All right. I'm going to go ahead. My name is Officer JC Mansfield of Charley County, case number COD 2301923. The address of the violation is 21496 Holder and Avenue. The zoning is RSF 3.5. The owner of record is Jensen Eank. On August 1, 2023, I conduct an inspection observe the following violations. Whole addition built without required building permits. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property. I would like to offer the photographs and evidence is county positive exhibit one I Mean I'm sure there the picture of the The notice of violation was posted in accordance before the statute 162 I've had some communication with the owners regarding this case On August 29th 2024 I conducted the final communication with the owners regarding this case. On August 29, 2024, I conducted the final inspection, finally, the violation is still substantial to the same. The owner has applied for a permit and the variance. The variance was denied, and now the permit is cancelled by the contractor. This is the end of my testimony. Okay. All right. What was the nature of the the the permits that were just doors and windows? No, they built a whole addition. Oh, there was an addition. Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I guess what? Is that it right there? Yes. That's lovely. Let me exchange that. Okay. We're going to make a copy of the photos for council. All right. So, where we are is... Do we have any pre-addition photos? They're all in there, yes sir. I think there's a whole left side of that problem. All right, so what is your client's position on this issue? Are they going to resubmit for the once they get engineering? Absolutely. As Mr. Maxwell was stating that the violations occurred, they didn't put the permits. So they were going for retroactive permits, but due to the addition actually encroaching and violating the setback requirements, they wouldn't qualify for those permanent retro. So they went and applied for variance, variance was denied, and it's currently being appealed. It's in the public procedure. I believe it was served when the most, the appeal was filed a while ago, but it was just served the book maybe last week or two. And we're just waiting for the county's reply or the court's decision on that. But we're also working on a separate plan as well, right? So as that's going on, the other plan is we actually spoke to the neighbor. So there's this idea that if we can purchase the enough square enough square footage from the neighbor and apply it to his property, then then he could meet that setback requirement. Now, by doing that, we would have to get surveys. So we have surveys in plate, we're taking surveys in place, basically showing the properties how they are now, and how they would look after purchasing the amount of square footage that he would need. Now, it's important because we also need to make sure that when we purchase those square feet, she's not in violation of any setback requirements either. So we want to make sure those lots stay the same. If that goes through, then at that point, I believe a variance wouldn't be necessary. We could cure that issue. And we would do it that way. So we have those two things going on at the same time. Once that's done, then we can go ahead and see if the county will allow us to get the retroct departments done, which I believe that the county knows that he's got the engineer ready to go and everything that to show that it isn't compliance with the building code. Granted, we know that there's going to be fines with that, but the alternative would be a huge financial burden on him at the moment. So to not down that portion of it, he wants that to be his last resort. Mr. Collinan. Yes, Sean Collinan playing zoning official. I have in sworn. There's been some correspondence between the attorney here as well as county staff and the property owner. One of the issues with his second plan of action is plan B is that these are already substandard lots of records. They do not meet minimum lot size for the zoning district. Has nothing to do with the setbacks on this house, the neighbor, but it would go, it would increase the non conformity by reducing lot size even more. That would not be a viable option because then both of the properties would continue to be out of compliance and it would be causing a non-compliance issue for this property Okay, you see that the properties currently as they are they're already not equal like Incorrect. They're legally non-conforming. They don't meet the minimum lot size for the zoning district They were planted in the 1950s, they are substandard by a couple thousand square feet each lot. They're vested to development, but you can't under our code and most codes, you can't increase the non-conformity. So you would be decreasing this, you'd be making this property non-conforming by reducing their minimum lot size even more. And I know this is not an issue right now, but basically, so any of these properties that are like that right now any addition to them will be in violation of the setback requirements. Correct. So you could be able to do any additions on these properties? If it meets the setbacks no so this neighbor here they could do it as long as they meet the setbacks your client could do in addition if it met the setbacks. But lots are vested but you would be reducing the minimum lot size of the neighbor property there by putting their property even further out of compliance. That's what I mean though. So because they are already non-compliant, how can you make them even more non-compliant? Because you're decreasing the land size even more. That's already been done. No, it's not. If you take land away from this property, if you purchase it, you're decreasing this person's lot size even more. So I'm very interested in this conversation. So it's everyone else. At the end of the day, the property owners failure to get it originally would have caught this. And so now, you know, the expended funds, and it looks like they're continuing to go through the process to try to get the issue resolved in the manner in which the code provides. So there is a, they went to the BZA were denied their variance the variance is by far the preferable solution to this issue rather than trying to reconfigure lots or do any other kind of solution. I obviously am not going to weigh in at all on the merits of the variance case but I also don't feel that putting timelines on something that's being appealed is appropriate. So is there any health immediate health and safety issue by that's on the site is there construction materials anything that needs to be addressed immediately? Well the site has permits. So we don't know how it was constructed as no inspections. It has no anything based on some testimony at the variance hearing. The roof structure was tied into the existing roof structure of the house. So because there were no inspections, no plans, we don't know. OK. I may have a solution for that if they're willing to accept it. Because he does have an engineer, would you accept some top of pre-liminary report from his engineer stating that it's not, there's no safety concerns with the structure? Is that acceptable? Let me ask a question slightly different way. With respect to your client. Whether I impose a penalty or not, your client, he's going to go through the process of the, what is the least costly business case to make this operation work. And so that means he's gonna leave it up even if I find it and just gonna go through the courts. That's where I honestly see this going. And so what I'm trying to do is not craft an order that causes or frustrates either the county or the property owner and waiting for the merits of the zoning decision to be resolved. Because either he'll be upheld or sent back to them. And if the decision the denial was upheld, then they're really, as Mr. Polmanman pointed out I don't think that the second alternative is going to work in this scenario. There may be legal mechanisms resolve that but it would mean taking down the structure. So what I don't want to do is I don't want to interrupt any of those processes while this is going on. I want, but I also know that a rid of cert take quite a long time. So, I'm not sure that that's even really pending. Good. I have a copy of pulling up the order for the, it's filed against non-entity. Against the county? It's filed against the board of zoning appeals. Well, that's a legal issue for the county and's a filed against the board of zoning appeals That's a legal issue for the county and I have to resolve whether they need to be the Mistakes will to date of that filing I believe Clerk of the courts it was filed on June 12th, which is isn't that past the time that Which time is the boat of the board of zoning appeals meeting. It was the time A12 or 13th. It's 30 days from the rendering and decision. So whenever that was put to right, not necessarily the hearing. So let's 90 days. Yeah, that's fine. I'm sending. Thank you. I was not going to bait it until the conclusion of the solutions, but my guess is that if they're either the case will move forward and if it gets approved and the and the orders granted for order show cause, that's going to happen within 90 days or it's going to get dismissed within 90 days.. I'm assuming 90 days We shot something. Okay, so I'm going to enter in an order of 90 days given the nature of the Complaint and the county is asking for the maximum penalty I am going to impose a five of two hundred fifty dollars per day for continuing violations the entry of a two-year season to assist order and a Baben cost the county necessary, all of that being said, as I've mentioned to other property owners, even a commercial piece of property can come in and get the fines reduced. Well, I mean, okay, so those fines and penalties are being reserved until we get to this area. Correct. Okay, so Tony, so he doesn't have to pay any. So, nothing gets paid today, what will happen is after the 90 days, if the condition still exists and there's been no other actions filed and permitted to allow the case to continue to debate, like such as a remodeling permit to take it down to a smaller size, anything like that, the case will continue, well, the fines may accrue. But once the properties brought into compliance completely, whatever fines have been imposed can be reduced. I see that last picture at the moment. Is that what the property looks like right now? I just want to make sure there's no tools or anything hanging outside that we're going to talk about the structure itself. Yeah, it seems like that's a structure. No problem. OK. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. When will we get that order, the notice in the mail or? Uh, yes, you're getting the mail and you have 30 days to appeal that. All right. That's a lot. Appreciate it. Guys, I'm good. Thank you. All right. Oh. All right, now I'm going to back on track and I'm not going to stop because there's a lot of people waiting. It's very patiently. We go to item half. All right. Going to item half on the agenda. COD 23-02914. This is a property of 1490. Sandering Drive and Englewood. You're going to be driving. I'm going to be driving. I'm going to be driving. Good morning, Miss. All right, real quick. Can I get to... are you Miss... Miss Johnson? Yes. And sir, you are. I need to go to the speak for more. Okay, and your name is, sir? Zachary Johnson. All right, take. All right. Okay, with that I'm gonna have officer drown. Present the county's case. COD 23-02914. The address of the violation is 298 Centerville Drive. The zoning is mobile and conventional. The other record is Georgia Johnson. on December 7th 2023. On December 7th 2023, I conducted an inspection. You just saw. And observed the following violations. Mobile home and accessory structure and disrepair as a result of Hurricane Ian outside storage of house items and lawn trailer out of setbacks, travel trailer and disrepair and other debris creating a junk like condition. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property. I like to offer these photographs and evidence is County Composite Exhibit 1. All right, seeing no objection. So Andrew the nose of violation was served by post-Hannan cordons with Florida statute 162 I have not had communication with the owner regarding this case, but I have spoke with her son. On August 28, 2024, I conducted a final inspection, finding violations still substantially the same. There is no permit or removal of debris. This is the end of my testimony. Mr. Johnson, is this, so, hurricane damage? Yes. Most of it's hurricane damage, and then quite a bit of it is shift into moving stuff around that was damage inside the home as well. And there was also a great deal of stuff that was out there causing a big mass prior to the storm that was my father's prior to his passing. Okay. And so the, it looks like do you have a FEMA trailer on the property? We did have a FEMA trailer out front until my father passed away, yeah. Okay. So what is the intended future of the property? Rehab it, tear it down, rebuild it. I'll tell you. So we had it issue the roofer pulled the permit. We put a new Rufon. And it's to my understanding that they didn't give us a final inspection on that because it's been deemed unsafe, which is kind of confusing as to why the Rufour was allowed to pull the permit if that was the case. And my father was handling this stuff. I stepped in and left my job and come take care of my mother while she was dealing with her chemo treatments and so it's been a bit of an overwhelming scenario. I'm not too familiar with exactly how to go about all of this. We would like to repair the home and rebuild the home. Finances are obviously a little bit of an issue and so all this debris has been cleaned up. That trailer there on the right is the one I believe that is in disrepaired, not the one in the front, the one there in the back, the sunny broke. That there has developed a leak in the ceiling, that's one of my mother's living. Developed a leak in the ceiling, and I threw some tarps up there and some plastic and taped it up. It looks terrible. I could definitely make it look a lot better. And all of the I have pictures not that I was able to print for you today, but I have them on my phone that the grass has been cut. And as of right now, the only two things that I'm aware of that aren't done is which I've spoken to Mr. Trout about, which is the laundry room, which the wals were, the roof was ripped off, the wals were blown out. So we're gonna go about figuring out the permitting as to whether we can repair that or demo it. And the camper that's on the right side from what my understanding is needs to be pulled into the driveway, okay, I am put on the slab. And then I have that utility trailer that you had seen full with the last load of debris to be taken to the dump. My Jeep's engine just blew up, so I'm waiting for that to get taken care of. To get out of there, I could rent a vehicle and remove it immediately today even if necessary. I'm not gonna go that far. Let's, what I'm trying to ask in an officer's drown probably doesn't have the answer to this, but is this property received a substantial damage determination is that what the issue is? Is it? Well, the accessory structure was main concern, but there's also, as you can see in this photograph, you've got soft, or you've got siding missing, and again, we don't know without access to the interior the extent of the damage. And as he alluded to the roofer and the permit issues with getting the final. So that, you know, I'm certain that this, you know, percane and damage was really- Was there a DAS on the property? Yeah. So, substantial damage determinations made when a permit's issued to say this property is either in compliance or non-compliance or- As part of the permitting process, you'll have to provide engineering or scope of work. Well, the only reason I'm trying to figure this out, because then there was a damage assessment made on the property. Look, I'm looking at the inspection here, but I don't have it. I don't see a status. And the reason why this is all important. And Mr. Johnson, is that from what I'm gathering from your testimony, you're trying to clear it all up. But the main issue is whether or not the house can be reconstructed and you can move everything back in. And that's been the issue that my father had ran into and I'm kind of picking up where he had left off and I don't really know a whole lot. John has been very helpful with directing me as to what I need to be doing. It was just seconded form of the issues. Okay, so the damage assessment said that the, there's maybe too damage to the roof and so the interior structure exposed the elements and so the roof's been, that was true. That was true. Yeah. All right. So I think what's going to have to happen, unfortunately, Mr. Johnson, unless there's a possibility of replacing the home and it's entirely through insurance procedures, you're going to need to probably engage an engineer or someone to say that the structure is still sound enough for you to be able to complete the roof permit and start to move your mom back in and get everything inside and then it'll be easy to remove all the other items. Well all the other items have been removed and I do plan on having that camper taken out of there within the next, but as soon as I possibly can, we're going to temporarily move my mother up to Maryland with my sister. Well just in time for winter. Yeah, well congratulations. to move my mother up to Maryland with my sister. I was just in time for winter. Yeah, well, congratulations, Mrs. DeWaterfall from the ceiling in that campus. She'll miss that. All right. Yeah. Maryland's not so bad. I like it. Yeah. What's your make it? Let me, are you local, Mr. Johnson? Yes, sir. Okay. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you a prize of a day, which is 90 days, to follow up with your contractor for the roof first. See if you can get a little more insight as to why the permit was not finaled. Because ultimately if the permit doesn't get closed out that will be another code violation issue. So find out what that is and see if that leads to anything additional on the inside and just work through the process. You know, you've indicated that since these photos were taken you've you've updated and cleaned up the property. Once you've got the trailer cleared up and anything you can I recommend before that 90 days call out officer drown have them come and reinspect the property. Of course and see what other items need to be done. I seriously doubt you'll be able to get it all done within 90 days but if you can get a good start. If you can get the outside cleared up, it is in a dress, get him to come out there and confirm it, then just work through the building stuff. Thank you very much. All right. All right, I'm gonna speed 90 days, then it'll be $50 per day after that. I'm gonna enter a two year season to assist order because the materials outside and I'm going to award a bateman cost if the county is clean now. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Drown, I'd like to thank you for being very professional and understanding and working with me with everything. Thank you, sir. All right. It's going to go right to his head. Nobody. Nobody thanks code. All right. Item, next case item, item I, COD 23-D, 02579, property is 18-18-1, Ohio Drive and Port Charlotte. Officer Fried always in the suit. You're in the bed. Good morning, sir. Mark, are you Mr. Lentziano? Yes. OK, Mr. Lentziano. I'm sorry it's taken so long to get to you. I understand. How day finally get to meet Dave. The tough is phone voice matches up. I'm going to have officer free go ahead and present his case. Officer T is going to hand you some photos. Take a look at the photos. Let me know if you have any objections to them. They're not going to reflect what the problem looks like today. We understand that. It's going to look like whatever it looks like. All right. They're not going to reflect what the problem looks like today. We understand that. Okay. Whatever it looks like. All right. They've stated. All right. Good afternoon. David Fried, Certified Co-compliance Officer of Charlotte County, COD 23-02579. The address of violation is 18181-O-Hera Drive. Zoning is RSF 3.5. The owner of record is Douglas Lassiano. On September 12, 2023, I conducted an inspection, observed the following violation. Trees removed without a permit and outside storage will evade a lot during the investigation. I took photographs of the property. I would like to offer the photographs and the evidence is counting composite exhibit number one. Okay, so entered. The notice of violation was posted in accordance with Florida Statute 162. I have had communication with the owners regarding this case. On August 19th, 2024, I conducted the final inspection, finding the violation still substantially the same. This is the end of my testimony. All right, you're planning on building your dream room. Yes. All right. The plans are done. I didn't know I needed a survey for the trees and the container and all that. And I actually, he said something to me this morning, I needed to get that survey done. So that would be incorporated into the original plans I had now. Yeah, when? Just hoping that this morning. Yeah, when you submit for the building permit, the tree goes in with that. Right. So he told me that because that's where the building would be placed and that's part of that permit. So he just found that out this morning. Well how much time do you need to get those permits in? You know we're still like talking with I guess all the people putting their bids in to do the job. Okay. So I don't, this is all new to me. I couldn't tell you. It's been going on since I bought the property that went like last September. Yeah. We've had a lot of back and forth and he seems to be waiting for a lot of plans. Plans are done. Plans are. Plans are. Plans are sitting at his desk and working on it and he's just getting quotes from vendors. But I would find it known I needed that permit for that I heard had that done I don't know why didn't tell me get that done because I had to sleep done. Yeah, so I mean is this a situation where you've got a a builder and You've got a contract already in place with them or your that's what he's in the middle of doing I had the builder who's gonna do it for me. Yes, okay, and the plans are done. He's got the plans That's where I had at just in that process. Is this a hype? I mean, is there an imminent danger here on this property? There is some issues. First of all, unfortunately, this case started in September. It's sort of the exact same talking point. That's why it's been pushed so long. It's plans are coming, plans are coming. Second of all, I'm getting a lot of complaints from the neighbors because he apparently, he obviously has a boat and he runs a generator on the boat and I guess hang out there with a lot of musicians because it has to run once a week to keep that $6,000 of batteries to keep it charged. So, but I don't run it 24 you know, like 24 hours a day. I'm only there a couple hours. I understand it, but I have received a lot of complaints about basically the vote and the law of being used as a part of the area. Let's, um, Mr. Coleman. I know you're eager. County La Laos docks boats to be on properties of making lots before home is built. So is there in the complaints that officer freeds testifying to it? Is there any real issue ongoing code issue on that? Well it can be stored there. You can't live aboard it. You can't do anything like that. This is one of those gray areas, and hence the reason why he's here with you. This had used to be an accessory that was allowed prior to the primary solely for the storage. But if it's becoming a public nuisance situation, as Mr. Frieda stated with numerous calls from the neighbors where people Him and his friends whomever and this is they're not here to testify so I'm just going by what mr. Fried testified to They're partying and you know hanging out there and disrupting the neighborhood Which would be five on the house is built Absolutely you can as long as we're invited. The cops are free to even tell you exactly how loud you can turn everything up just to make your neighbors happy. All right. Mr. Lonskino, the issue with the only concern I have is that this has been going on for quite a while. So I'm going to give you 60 days to get those permits in and get moving forward on this. Once the permits in and it's been issued, you'll have, you know, you have a long time to actually build the house and all the things. Yeah, I understand that part. Just need to make sure that I didn't know it was going to take this long. And like I said, had I known this other permit need to be done? He just tells me that this morning I would have had that had to do it. Well, and so we'll go ahead and that's what will be 60 dollars, 60 days. After that, it would be $50 a day for continuing violation. I'm going to enter in the two-year season system order. An abatement, but that's for the junk like conditions and it looks like the most that's being cleared up. So I'm just going to leave that. Well, just anything on the dock there. It's fine to be on the boat. Yeah. Yeah I'm not clear that stuff off. You know I have a storage bed, I'll just make more room and put it in storage bed. I just didn't have time but I'll make time now. Obviously. Thank you very much, Mr. Sianna. Thanks. Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President,. A few more minutes. A little bit more. That's fine. All right. Officer Frey, this is what was yours too.

During the investigation, I took photographs of the property, I'd like to offer the photographs and evidence is counting the positive exhibit number one. So I'm here. The notice of violation was served via certified mail in accordance with Florida Statute 162. I have had no communication with the owners regarding this case on August 28th, 2024. I conducted the final inspection. Finding the violation still substantially the same. This is the end of my testimony. Mr. Zimmerman was waiting for your call. He's ready to talk to you. All right. Mr. Zimmerman, you understand the nature of the county's planes against the property? Yes, sir. Okay. What is are you planning on coming in and getting that permitted? Sure I will. It looks very nice. I mean, it's probably built better than some of the other stuff you might see. Now the problem is, after the fact, it's always harder. You know, your contractor may, if you did it yourself, or you need a contractor, you need an engineering. All right, so that'll be the difficult part. But luckily since it's all exterior stuff, maybe it won't be so hard to get permitted. Are you, I'm gonna give you some time on that. I'm gonna give you 90 days of Mr. Zimmerman to get that permit in process. I highly recommend that you get in and start talking to them as soon as possible on the Burm permits side so that if you need to retain an engineer you have time to do that for them to certify the meets the building code. Okay. I promise. Thank you. So that it would be $50 a day. All right. Perfect. Thank you very much. Yes sir. 90. Okay. Now moving on to item O, COD 24 to 01709. Properties 18391 Oxford Avenue Port Charlotte. Officer free. David Fried certified Coke appliance officer, Recharla County, COD 24-01709, the address of violation is 18391 Oxford Avenue. The zoning is RSF 3.5. The owner of record is Patrick S. Stark and Jennifer East Stark. Trustees of the Stark family revoke will trust. On July 12, 2024, I conducted an inspection and observed the following violations. Trailer parked in the right away and an inoperable white car in the side yard on the trailer. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property. I would like to offer photographs and evidence evidence of this county composite exhibit number one. So, Andrew? The notice of violation was served via certified mail and accordance with Florida statute 162. I have had communication with the owners regarding this case and this is a repeat violation. This is the end of my testimony. All right. And I just want more of Mr. Mr. Stark. What was the nature of the prior violation? It was for the exact same thing. It actually just one hour of cease and desist. Order a couple months ago. All right. Mr. Messstar, do you understand what the county's concern is here? Well, we did, the trailer is gone. Did you come by and inspects like you have thought you would be able to? I don't think I was able to get out there. OK. Well, the trailer has been gone off the easement right away. The car on the trailer, my son is out of state in Missouri, and he has made arrangements with some place in Northport Myers for that white car on the trailer. It's actually an old silver train's am to be stored in some storage place in Fort Myers. Right now, if we could get it out, we would. But as you know, everything's a mud hole right now. So, it's just real. But also, we're asking for is 60 days and the car will be gone because he does it. You granted it. 60 days but because it is a repeat violation I'm going to increase the fine. The potential is 250 a day after 60 days. We have to pay 250. After 60 days the county will respect. They'll do a one day fine of $250, well, be $270. And then if you've been here the whole day, after 90 days they'll come back and that $250 will tack on, and it'll be a couple thousand dollars. And the case in these situations, they may also abate the property, which is they may remove any equipment that's there. It goes to an impound lot. Got to pay for the removal. They got to pay to get it out of the impound lot to a big process. So I'll give you the 60 days. But to prevent this issue from coming back, I am going to add there was a cease and desist order on the property previously. I'm going to add a new five year cease and desist order. OK. Now let me make sure I'm clarified. Absolutely. The only thing that is of interest that we have to move, which is going to be moved, is the car on that trailer. And if you've already cleared the trailer in the right away. Oh, yes, sir, it's big. That's a very good one. Yeah. Okay, well then. To that with the missing. And then the trans am is the only issue. And trust me, you'll find plenty get with him to miss him. And then the trans am is the only issue and trust me. You'll find plenty of people willing to move it for you. Yeah, fine. Yeah, fine. Just to make clear for y'all, it doesn't have to necessarily be those that trailer or that vehicle that comes back, we can't allow anything to come back and be left in that state, okay? Yeah, it's not a storage yard, you know, it's... If anything... If anything... If a trailer gets left in the right way, that's a violation. If a car gets left on a trailer on the side yard and it's in a state of this repair, that's a violation. It doesn't matter which trailer or which car it is. Right. Okay, just right now, these are the ones that are the issue. But on these vehicles, we're good. But I just wanna make sure any other vehicle can appear. Right, I understand. All right. Thank you all very much. So, okay. So, we don't know nothing today. Nope, you won't know anything for 60 days, or at all, if things get resolved. All right, thank you. All right, everyone who's still remaining hold on we're almost clear with everyone who's been waiting patiently. Next three cases I want to actually hear together. These are items WX and Y on the agenda. COD is 23-102691, COD 2302, 692, and COD 24-00702. These are all the same property owner and peer to be adjacent lots. So I'm going to off some more. These are for the three properties on Viamadana. Mr. Good. Yes, sir. Okay, sir. All right, hold on, Mr. Good. We're going to, what I'm going to, to make this a little easier for you. And for all of us is I want to ask officer Moore to open up and testify on each case. And then we'll have a discussion about each one to get all's one, which is easier than doing one than doing the next one. Okay. No objections. Okay, those straight. All right, Officer Moore, sort of like a compliance officer, Charlotte County. I'm gonna be testifying in reference to one, two, three via Madonna. The address of the violation is one, two, three via Madonna, Englewood. The zoning is MHC, the owner of record is John Allen Good and John Good.

The primary structure has damage to the main structure and other accessory structures that appear to be unsafe. During the investigation I took photographs of the property I'd like to offer the photographs and into evidence this county composite exhibit one. So Andrew? The notice of violation was served by certified mail and accordance with for the state statute 162. I Have had no contact with the owner. However, officer drown has given multiple verbal warnings about the violations as of August 27th 2024 the violations remain substantially the same the C end of my testimony. Okay, let's move on to the next piece of property, 111, P. M. Adon. Address of the violation is 111, P. M. Adon, Anglewood. Zoning is also MHC, the owner of record is John Good. On July 12, I inspected the property and served the following violations. Outside storage included but not limited to wood, metal piles of miscellaneous junk, inoperable vehicles, multiple bikes and other miscellaneous items creating a junk like condition and prohibited use of the property. The primary structure has severe roof and structural damage to the main structure and other accessory structures that are unsafe. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property and liked to offer the photographs in two evidences county. Combosity exhibit one. Okay, so 100. The notice of violation was served by a certified male in accordance for the statute 162. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. I'm going to have to go to the next slide. The third property. The third property in violation is 1-1 via Madonna and the wood. The zoning is also MHC, the honor of record is John Good. Again on July 12th, I inspected the property and served the following violations. Outside storage described as but not limited to wood, metal, household items, and other miscellaneous items creating a junk like condition and prohibited use of the property. The primary structure and other accessory structures have suffered roof damage and an addition on the left side of the mobile home has come has come off from hurricane and damaging the side of the mobile home, making it potentially unsafe. During the investigation, I took photographs of the property. I'd like to offer it into photographs and into evidence as county composite exhibit one. So enter. The notice of violation was served by a certified male in accordance with Fortress Statue 162. And again, officer drown had given multiple verbal warnings about the violations. And as of August 27, 2024, the violations remain the same. This is the end of my testimony. Okay, thank you, officer. All right. So Mr. Good, I think I feel the county's met its burden on all three properties. It's absolutely clear with respect to the outdoor storage and miscellaneous items. The photo also indicates substantial damage to all three structures. What is the nature of the use of these structures, if don't mind my asking are they? I know. Well first of all she mentioned a abandoned vehicle at 111 and there's no abandoned vehicles there. I made arrangements for my band at 123 to be picked up from a scrapper at Avenue with the America today after I did out of here. And my niece's mother used to be an anti collector and I've been working from morning till night. Every day, this is the first break I've gotten really. And all three spaces, I made four trips to Michigan and with my six by ten, Hallmark and closed trailer. And my 2010anger there loaded, taking things up there. Hurricane Alley's no place for collectibles or antiques. Plus there's no market for that stuff down here. But yeah, 123 was almost ready for inspection. I came back with my empty trailer. I was able to put most of the stuff out of the car board in there. 123 and 121 certainly look like they have the shortest distance to get cleaned up. And I'm willing to give you some additional time to keep working through that. What I am particularly concerned about, obviously the photos in 111 are the most. That was a problem. I mean, even two days ago, I was taking stuff out from where that roof was falling. A month ago, I had to lower my head and get underneath there. Now it's down to my belt. Is there anyone living in any of the three properties? Are there just beings from the storm? What is the plan for dealing with the damage to the three homes? Well, they're good. Excuse me, they're going to be sold as a unit. Taxes are due by March 31st and there's no way that I'm not going to be ready to pay on this. Yeah. You know, I'm working, like I say, every day I'm pulling stuff out. I've got most everything out that's fragile and valuable underneath the section of the roof. But I just rented a sixth storage spot about a block away from me. And I've been cleaning dishes and putting them in those tomato boxes from Walmart that you can stack up. And I've been working on that. But I've also been, like I say, 123 is almost ready. It needs to be dry enough for me to do the touch up the hard work. We got a 42 inch John deer that we mow the yard with, but I still need to get around and find too many tree trunks and and such but Then I move from there to I say 121 and I still keep cleaning and packing up The stuff I pulled out of 111 Frankly, I wouldn't want to live next to me right now either You know, it's a lot more than I'm hurtin' to buy you moving forward and getting it cleaned up. Oh, absolutely. I'm trying to be part of the solution, you know. And honor my mother's legacy and my younger brother's legacy. He used to be a big comic book collector and termites got up through the cracks and cement and they permeated this somewhat and it just took time to go through it. And like she said, he had a big addition built on his mobile home there and he and just took away the roof in all three walls and his record collection was there and 1,000 the comic books. And thank you Mr. Good. Real quick from the county's perspective. Yes. I mean this is a, this is a property that I don't, I don't sound, doesn't sound like the property owner is gonna be able to remedy the building issues. It's going to be for a future owner. I want to continue to have them clean up the property as best as possible. And incentivize that. Is there anything special to county needs to ask for on this one? Not really. Mr. Good, I'm asking the county to see if their position is sorry I'm sure you if you want to speak for them say that it's all done that's I'm sure the I can't think of anything extra I mean what I'm if we if we headed towards abatement and they people need to realize that that cost will be there And it won't go away. But you're not going to bathe the structures. Not the structures. That's not likely to happen for some period of time. It's got things going on. Not typically. I mean, if it was real bad, there's a possibility, yeah. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to the officer more, I know, and maybe if Officer Dronees come up, could you confirm that the Mr. Good has been working towards cleaning up the property? Yes, Your Honor. I've had repeated conversations with them. Actually, this is a significant improvement over where it began and these gentlemen have been trying throughout, I think it just got into a point where it's beyond their available means to bring it into compliance. Right, they were talking, I'm going to have been trying throughout. I think it just got into a point where it's beyond their available means to bring it into compliance. Right. You were talking, I mean, the items that are left, especially at the building level, are going to be, be honest. So what I'm going to do, if Mr. Good is, I'm going to enter it in order on all three properties that each one is in violation. I'm going to give you 90 days to keep up the work on cleaning everything up. I don't know that you'll be able to address the building issues within that time. You'll have to, if you can look for assistance money, if there's anything available to help you with that, or to allow you to continue to move through and look at possibly selling the property. But I don't know, I don't know if I gave you 18 months, I would solve that problem. But I am going to address the outside storage items. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to 90 days on each property. After that, it would be a $50 per day fine for continuing violations. And I'm going to enter in a cease and desist order for two years to keep the materials from coming back to the property. And I'm going to award a bateman costs to the county if they have to clean it up. I wish I had any other solution for you. I know the situation you're in.

His name is James Jane Kowski, and I haven't been speaking with Mr. Jane Kowski and I haven't spoken with Mr. Jane Kowski and then Mr. Mansfield about getting this property and compliance and permits properly pulled. All right how much time does your client need for that? I could have a 90 day extension I will be working with my client diligently to get this property into compliance. Okay done. All right after that it would just be a $50 prime per day. Yeah, the violation All right, thank you very much Our next case item W I'm sorry, item VV. Yeah, we're really moving through.

On August 21st, 2024, I conducted the final inspection, finding the violation still substantially the same. The swamp buggy has migrated from the side yard to the backyard. Okay. Is the swamp buggy permittable if it gets a if it can't go on the roadway then. Okay. Typically a swamp buggy won't can't get on the road. Okay. Like it can't be licensed. All right. Well, let's go one step at a time. Miss D.S. Sharp, you understand the nature that the county's complaint? Yes. Okay. And most of these items can be, I mean, I don't know how fully it rogues, but most of these items. Everything's moved except the buggy. Okay. How fully it rogues, but most things I Everything's moved except the buggy. Okay, now I don't know if you is the buggy yours or I hope those are not the same person. It's gonna wow. So the issue is if that is a vehicle that can be made street legal and can be licensed then you'd be able to keep it. Provided it's on the side yard or in the driveway but if it's a custom vehicle that cannot be licensed then it's going to have to be located somewhere else off the property.

I'm going to give you 30 days to find a home for the buggy. And also have off screen would come out and confirm that the property has been cleaned up. And assuming that's all taken care of, it'll all be over. If not, it would be a $50 per day continuing to find.

And the same as that, I am gonna do the $100. Fine, after 90 days. You had a question. I'm sorry. The question she says is improperly stored trailers. So the I see the cargo containers. That's what we're talking about. There are. So close trailers. Close trailers on the ground. Yeah. Well, it's not on the ground. Are they? They look like. Well, it's not on the ground. It looks like it, but it's not. It's ejected up in the front to the rain runs off it. Okay. It's got the little crank up jack, the cranked the bump blocks that the rain runs off instead of in. Okay. As he testified in the previous case that certain photos were not his, they're not being stored within setbacks. Oh, okay. The not his they're not being stored within setbacks. Oh okay. Because the property is they're not killed and combined or consolidated. Okay so in other words you have to relocate them within the property so that they're not in the setbacks. If the properties if you're property and your mother's property were one you could put them in between but when they're not they're gonna have to either be in a driveway or behind the leading edge of the house. So you could put the trailers along the side of the house like the way the vehicle is and just push it back past the front of the house. But when there's a property line running between them, they can't be within the setbacks between those property lines. Does that make sense? Well, it's stored on an undervalued block, too. Well, yeah. And if it is, in fact, an undervalued block, then nothing in me store there. But go ahead and do this form his favor. Go ahead and take the 90 days, clean up the property. When you're getting close to cleaning everything up, call out officer Moore to come inspect. And she can help you once it's all been cleared out where the trailers can go. All right. We need your phone number. All right. I'm going to let her go right now. She can go give it to you. All right. With that, I'm going to go ahead and find the property. It was in violation.
