[00:05:02]
THE BUCKETS ARE THERE. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK UP THE BUCKETS TWO YEARS AGO.THEY'RE STILL THERE. THAT'S THE RULE.
THE RULE IS JUST YOU HAVE TO BE SIGNED UP FOR TRASH SERVICE.
WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S WHY I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT FOR ME TO DETERMINE WHY.
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO TELL ME WHY YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
THAT'S TAKE UP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

ANGELICA SNEED, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
THE VIOLATIONS THAT EXIST NO LONGER EXIST.
THIS IS FOR 292 EMERSON DRIVE NORTHWEST CASE CV 23 00349 CB 2375423. AND THE GRASS WAS CUT BY OUR CONTRACTOR.
SO HE'S GOING TO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR FEE THAT IT COST US.
PLUS HE ALSO HAS ADMINISTRATION FEE.

I EVEN HAVE A GUY OVER THERE LAST WEEK GOT IN IT AND.

THAT SHOW THAT YOU WERE STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE? I DID CUT IT. IT'S BEEN RAINING EVERY DAY.
I LIVED OVER IN ORLANDO, SO WHEN I COME OVER HERE ONCE EVERY WEEK OR SO, I TRY TO CUT IT.
BUT IT'S THAT GRASS THAT GROWS REAL FAST.
UM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE GRASS GROWS QUICKLY AND.
BUT THIS IN THIS CASE, THIS IS FOR THE.
FOR YOUR PROPERTY NOT BEING IN COMPLIANCE.
OKAY. AND EVEN IF YOU HAD MOWED IT AT SOME POINT BETWEEN.
BETWEEN GETTING THE NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE AND.
28. THE FACT IS, IT BECAME NON-COMPLIANT AGAIN.
SO. FROM EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE HERE, IT JUST.
THAT THE PROPERTY IS. NOT BEEN IN COMPLIANCE.
TESTIFIED THAT YOU AND SHE SAID THE CITY CUT IT.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PROOF WHERE IS THAT? WHERE THE CITY CUT IT? BECAUSE IT'S IN THE.

I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE CLOSE COMMENTS ON THIS.
I'M GOING TO FIND YOU IN VIOLATION.

[OLD BUSINESS]
OUR OLD BUSINESS IS CEB 2380823 AT 900 DAYTONA DRIVE NORTHEAST.AND I AM TOLD TO ASK THAT THIS CASE BE TABLED UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER 2023 MEETING.
SOUNDS GOOD. WE WILL TABLE THAT ONE UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
[HEARINGS]
MOVING ON TO HEARINGS THE PER DAY AND STEP FINE HEARINGS ARE FIRST CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 2386723 AT 171 SALMON DRIVE NORTHEAST AND THE CODE OFFICER IS SABRINA PERKINS.[00:15:08]
SABRINA PERKINS, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY.THE OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BY CERTIFIED MAIL.
THE OWNERS ARE HERE TO SPEAK IN REFERENCE TO WHY THEY HAVE THE DUCKS.
I ALSO HAVE THE COMPLAINANT HERE TO SPEAK AS WELL FOR WHY THEY DON'T WANT THE DUCKS THERE.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S HEAR FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.
I HAVE ITEMS TO PRESENT TO YOU.
SHOULD I GIVE THEM STRAIGHT TO YOU? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GOOD. THE CITY HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THESE.
TELL ME ABOUT THESE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, SURE.
HELLO. MY NAME IS FLETCHER NELSON.
I'M A GRADUATE OF THE CITADEL MILITARY COLLEGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
THIS IS MY HUSBAND, ALEX FAULKNER, WHO IS A GRADUATE.
ALSO A GRADUATE OF THE CITADEL MILITARY COLLEGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND COMPLETED 13 YEARS IN THE US ARMY AS A MEDALED AND AWARDED INFANTRYMAN WHO NOW WORKS FOR OUR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. I'LL JUST GET TO IT.
OUR THREE DUCKS, CLEO, EDITH AND SUMMER WERE DUMPED AT A FAMILY PROPERTY.
WE WERE INFORMED THEY WERE CHICKS.
HOWEVER, UPON ACQUIRING THEM, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY WERE DUCKLINGS.
TRANSITIONING TO WORK FROM HOME EMPLOYEE AFTER COVID HAS REALLY BEEN CHALLENGING.
WE BELIEVE THAT ALL CITIZENS AND NEIGHBORS DESERVE A LIFE FULL OF QUALITY, PROSPERITY AND HEALTH.
THIS WOULD INCLUDE PROPERTY VALUE, UPKEEP, YARDS, CAMARADERIE, AMONGST OTHER THINGS.
HOWEVER, WE ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER OUR OWN QUALITY OF LIFE.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT.
LET'S DEFINE THE QUALITY OF LIFE WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY EQUAL HERE BETWEEN US NEIGHBORS.
SO LET'S BREAK THE ELEMENTS DOWN.
INSTEAD, WE DONATE THEM TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY IN NEED OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAND OVER A HORDE OF THESE TO ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS, INCLUDING THE COMPLAINANTS.
I WOULD LOVE TO PROVIDE THESE ORGANIC BENEFITS TO THESE NEIGHBORS.
AS I SAID, ANOTHER MIGHT BE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS IN PEACE.
I. I SUPPOSE POTENTIALLY NOISE AND THINKING THE DUCKS ARE UNSIGHTLY COULD FALL INTO THIS.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE THREE FLIGHTLESS AND ALSO UNABLE TO SWIM DUCKS.
THEY ARE THE SECOND QUIETEST BREED OF DUCK.
WHILE THERE ARE ALSO A FUN FACT DO NOT ECHO DUE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL ACOUSTICS, THE LOUDEST DUCK QUACK EVER RECORDED CAME IN AT A DECIBEL OF 110, WHICH IS JUST BELOW THE AVERAGE DOG BARK, MEASURED AT 120DB AND APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES LESS FREQUENT THAN THAT OF CHICKENS.
IF A PERSON CAN HEAR A SINGULAR DUCK QUACK INSIDE OF THEIR HOME FROM AN ACRE AWAY AND ANOTHER PROPERTY OF MEDICAL CONCERNS FOR THEIR TOLERANCE OF CARS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET 50 YARDS FROM THEIR HOUSE, THE TV VOLUME AND EVEN CONVERSATIONS IN THE NEXT ROOM.
DESPITE THESE CONCERNS, WE ARE CONSIDERED.
WE ARE CURRENTLY APPROVED AND UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE FLORIDA CITY GAS COMPANY TO ERECT A SIX FOOT SOUND REDUCING FENCE TO THE REAR OF OUR PROPERTY TO FURTHER REDUCE THE MINIMAL NOISE. MOVING TO CLEANLINESS, CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH, ALL CITIZENS DESERVE THE RIGHT TO A HEALTHY AND CLEANLY ENVIRONMENT, ESPECIALLY IN THEIR OWN HOME.
ADDITIONALLY, DUCKS DIET IS MADE UP OF 86% FORAGING.
[00:20:01]
WELL AS AERATING OUR LAWN.I ALSO WANT TO REITERATE OUR DUCKS CANNOT FLY OR SWIM, SO ASIDE FROM THE DUCKS EATING THE MOSQUITO LARVA FROM OUR DOGS KIDDY POOL, THE MOSQUITO POPULATION HAS NOT BEEN IMPACTED, IF AT ALL, BLUNTED AND SUBSEQUENTLY REDUCED ADDITIONALLY, BUT NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDED IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE TOPIC IS OF COURSE, PROPERTY VALUE.
I HAVE PRESENTED TO YOU A PICTURE OF OUR HOME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND PICTURES I TOOK YESTERDAY.
I AM EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT CLEANLINESS, TIDINESS AND MY GARDEN.
THESE LOOK LIKE SLOWLY ISOLATING HIMSELF FROM PEOPLE HE LOVES ME, EVEN HIMSELF.
FROM A WORLD WITHOUT SLEEP, EVERY TURN CORNER COULD HAVE BEEN HIS LAST, HAVING LOST FRIENDS TO THE WAR OVERSEAS AND THEN THE WAR AGAINST THEMSELVES AT HOME, I AM FEARFUL I WILL LOSE HIM TO THIS BATTLE ANY DAY.
NOTHING IN OUR CIVILIZED WORLD WILL MATCH THE ADRENALINE OF ALMOST DYING ANY DAY AT ANY MINUTE.
NOTHING IN OUR CIVILIZED WORLD WILL MATCH THE FEELING OF TRULY BEING NEEDED BY ANOTHER LOVING BEING ASIDE FROM MOTHERHOOD, OR PERHAPS THE COMPANIONSHIP OF AN ANIMAL SUDDENLY LEAVING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU'RE NEEDED TO SAVE LIVES AND ENTERING ONE WHERE THE WHERE THE SEEMINGLY IS NO LONGER RELEVANT, VETERANS VIRTUALLY LOSE THEIR PURPOSE AT 80% DISABLED.
SEVERAL DOCTORS HAVE REVIEWED ALEX'S CONDITION AND LABELED HIM BROKEN, DAMAGED, FOREVER, CHANGED BY HIS SACRIFICES TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ABLE TO STAND IN THIS COURTROOM TODAY AND DISCERN THESE THINGS.
HE HAS STRUGGLED WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION SINCE LEAVING THE MILITARY.
WHICH DOES THIS MEAN TO YOUR AVERAGE CITIZEN? IT MEANS DAILY QUESTIONING OF WHY YOU SURVIVED, WHY YOUR BROTHERS, WHO ALSO SURVIVED HUMANITY'S HARDEST PHYSICAL TASK, SOMEHOW CAN'T OVERCOME THE MENTAL ONE AND KILL THEMSELVES. HOW WILL YOU EVER FIND EXCITEMENT AGAIN? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? I HAVE PRESENTED THE PRESCRIPTION LETTER PROTECTED BY FEDERAL LAW TO SUPPORT ALEX'S REQUIREMENT OF OUR DUCKS.
QUALITY OF LIFE AND CONTINUED RECOVERY.
I CAME FROM A FAMILY OF A FARMER AND A DRILL SERGEANT.
WE ARE NOT HERE TO PURPOSEFULLY BREAK A LAW OR PRIVILEGE.
WE EXPECT TO GET AWAY WITH WRONGDOINGS.
I'VE MENTIONED THE PREVIOUS NOTIONS OF POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES NOT TO ARGUE THE DUCKS LEGALITY, BUT TO OUTLINE THE BENEFITS ALONGSIDE MY HUSBAND'S REQUIREMENT FOR THEIR RETAINMENT AND OTHERS CONCERNS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
OF COURSE, WITHIN REASON AND RATIONALITY AND OF COURSE MONITORED BY OUR COMMENDABLE CITY GOVERNMENT.
I HAVE AN APPLICATION AND WITH THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS ALSO PRESENTED IN THE COURT DOCUMENTATION TO YOU TO AMEND THE CURRENT ORDINANCE TO ALSO ALLOW DUCKS ALONGSIDE CHICKENS JUST SO THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY IMPROVE THE OTHER THE LIVES OF OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
IF OUR NEIGHBORS HAD CONCERNS FOR OUR HEALTH OR THEIRS, OR SIMPLY THE LEGALITY OF THE MATTER, I WOULD HAVE RATHER MUCH RATHER SHOWN THEM THIS LETTER AND ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IN PRIVATE AND DISCUSS MY HUSBAND'S STRUGGLES.
BUT I LOVE HIM. SO HERE I STAND.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING US TODAY.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS AND CONSIDERATIONS.
IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THEM AS WELL, THAT'S OKAY.
BUT THEY'RE HERE. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
SO SORRY THAT YOU'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS.
BUT I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE WHY? WHY THESE DUCKS? WHY DUCKS AND NOT A DOG CAT? SURE. SO WE HAVE DOGS AND WE HAVE CATS, RIGHT? DOGS ALWAYS BEEN OUR COMPANION AND WHATNOT, BUT WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN FARM PEOPLE.
BUT THEN THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT THE CASE.
AND WE GREW A VERY, VERY I GREW A VERY, VERY QUICK ATTACHMENT TO THEM VERY, VERY FAST.
[00:25:01]
THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF MY PURPOSES, IS TO LOOK AFTER MY DUCKS.SO THAT'S WHY I HAD THEM QUALIFIED AS MY.
AND IT'S ALSO BY HIS LOCAL PSYCHOLOGIST AS WELL.
SO THIS IS NOT LIKE OUTSOURCED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO APPLYING FOR A NON-CONFORMING USE PERMIT? WHAT'S THAT? WELL, IF YOU HAVE.
HAVE. USING A PROPERTY THAT'S IN A MANNER THAT.
I WOULD. I WOULD THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE EASIER THAN TRYING TO CHANGE THE CODE.
IF WE HAVE ANYBODY FROM THE CITY THAT CAN TALK TO THAT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH, SURE. THIS WOULD NOT QUALIFY AS A NON-CONFORMING USE AND NON-CONFORMING USES HAVE TO BE LEGAL NON-CONFORMING USES SO THEY ALREADY HAVE TO BE PART OF THE CODE AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND A CODE CHANGE HAS TO HAPPEN THAT MAKES THEM NON-CONFORMING FOR THEM TO BE LEGAL.
THANK YOU. I'VE SPOKEN WITH TERESE, WHICH IS THE CITY CLERK, AND SHE'S BEEN VERY.
HOLD ON A SECOND. EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.
EVERYBODY THAT HAS COMMENTS WILL HAVE.
ABSOLUTELY. THEY'LL HAVE EVERY TIME TO SAY EVERYTHING THEY WANT.
BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF UNTIL YOU'RE UP AT THE PODIUM.
SHE'S LED ME EVERYWHERE THROUGH IT.
COME UP REAL QUICK. SO THIS THIS CODE I DON'T HAVE.
SECTION 185.010 IN FRONT OF ME.
BUT SO IT SAYS KEEPING A FARM ANIMALS IS PROHIBITED.
BUT. SOUNDS LIKE CHICKENS ARE PERMITTED IS THAT WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR CHICKENS, NO ROOSTERS, BUT THE DUCKS ARE CONSIDERED FARM ANIMALS.
THAT'S. AND THIS CAME FROM THE CITIZENS LIVING, I GUESS, BEHIND THEM.
AND THE ORDINANCE. IT'S ONLY ALLOWS CHICKENS, CORRECT? THAT ORDINANCE DOES, YES.
SINCE THE SINCE THIS LETTER WAS CREATED BY HIS PERSONAL CLINICIAN.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE COMPLAINANTS NOW.
COMPLAINANTS, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
STATE YOUR NAME. I'M SORRY, SIR.
AND THE HIGH NOISE LEVEL IN HERE.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. JOHN SHERRILL.
TELL ME WHAT YOU WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SAY.
ABSOLUTELY. IN EARLY MAY, WE STARTED SEEING THREE DUCKS IN THE YARD ADJOINING OURS.
I ASKED OUR NEIGHBOR ALEX ABOUT THEM, AND HE SAID FLETCHER LIKES DUCK EGGS.
WE WENT ON VACATION FOR THREE WEEKS, AND WHEN WE RETURNED, THERE WERE SIX DUCKS.
FRIENDS TOLD US THAT DUCKS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN PALM BAY.
A VISIT TO CITY HALL CONFIRMED THIS AND I MADE IT A COMPLAINT ACCORDINGLY.
TWO WEEKS LATER, I CALLED THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE THE OWNER HAD TOLD HER THAT THEY HAD ONLY HENS, NO DUCKS. WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH HER, I SAW DUCKS IN THE YARD AND I SENT HER A PHOTO.
FARMS ARE NORMALLY LOCATED IN RURAL AREAS SO THAT THE SOUNDS, SMELLS AND HAZARDS OF PRODUCING FOOD.
RAISING POULTRY AND ANIMALS DOES NOT CREATE NUISANCES FOR NEARBY RESIDENTS.
DUCKS ARE TRULY FARM ANIMALS AND POOP ROUGHLY FOUR TIMES PER HOUR.
A COMBINATION OF FECES AND URINE WHEREVER THEY HAPPEN TO BE.
[00:30:05]
THEY MAY BE CUTE, BUT DUCKS ARE AMONG THE FILTHIEST ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET.THESE DUCKS HAVE CREATED A SANITARY NUISANCE TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE.
ALEX AND FLETCHER HAVE NO ADEQUATE CLEANUP ROUTINE FOR THEIR DUCKS.
WE CAN'T EVEN WALK AROUND OUR OWN BACKYARD WITHOUT BEING BITTEN.
THE CDC WARNS US NOT TO GET TOO CLOSE TO CHICKENS, DUCKS OR GEESE TO PREVENT INFECTIONS LIKE PSITTACOSIS, SALMONELLA, CAMPYLOBACTER AND AVIAN FLU.
DUCKS CAN CARRY MORE THAN 50 DISEASES, MANY OF WHICH CAN BE PASSED TO HUMANS, SOME WITH NO CURE.
SOME OF THESE DISEASES CAN BE SPREAD BY FLIES.
MOSQUITOES AND EVEN DUST FROM THE DUCKS DO NOT BELONG IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CITY OF PALM BAY ORDINANCE IS CORRECT.
WHY NOT JUST BUY THE EGGS FROM A LOCAL FARMER? WE HEREBY REQUEST THAT THE CITY OF PALM BAY CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 95 BE ENFORCED AND THE DUCKS BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED AND THAT THEIR YARD BE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND DISINFECTED TO REMOVE ALL OF THE DUCK POOP.
YOUR HONOR, WE ARE SIMPLY ASKING THAT THESE THREATS TO OUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING BE REMEDIATED SO THAT WE MAY RESUME THE USE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT OF OUR PROPERTY.
THANK YOU. I'M JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
YES, SIR. YOU SAID YOU SAID THAT FLIES MITES AND INSECTS.
I'M SORRY. YOU SAID THAT FLIES.
MITES AND INSECTS HAVE INCREASED ON YOUR PROPERTY? YES. SINCE THEN.
WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL? YOU MENTIONED THAT DUCK SMELL, BUT YOU HAVEN'T YOU DIDN'T TELL ME IF THEY IF YOU SMELL THEM FROM YOUR.
WELL, WE'VE HAD ACTUALLY A NUMBER OF FLIES FROM TIME TO TIME THAT HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE HOUSE.
AND WE'VE HAD TO ELIMINATE THEM, CHASE THEM FOR A BIT.
BUT THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS THAT THE SMALLER THINGS, MITES AND THINGS LIKE THAT HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE CAN'T WALK AROUND IN OUR BACKYARD WITHOUT BEING BITTEN ON OUR LEGS AND ANKLES AND FEET.
AND WE USED TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE OUR BEDROOM WINDOWS OPEN IN THE EVENING WHEN IT WAS COOL.
THESE DAYS, IF WE DO, WE WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH A NUMBER OF BITES ON OUR LEGS AND ARMS FROM WHATEVER IS SMALL ENOUGH TO FLY THROUGH THE SCREENS. IS YOUR PROPERTY ADJOINING? YES, WE'RE BACK TO BACK.
WE'RE IN THE NEXT STREET FROM THEIRS.
HAVE HAVE ANY OF THE DUCKS EVER GOTTEN ONTO YOUR PROPERTY? I'M SORRY, SIR. HAVE THE DUCKS EVER GOTTEN ONTO YOUR PROPERTY? OH, NO, NO.
THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ON OUR PROPERTY.
BUT INSECTS THAT FEED ON AND ARE REPRODUCED IN THE DUCK POOP OBVIOUSLY CAN. AND IN FACT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DISEASES THAT POTENTIALLY CAN BE TRANSMITTED BY MOSQUITOES FROM THE DUCK POOP.
AND SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT CAN BE PASSED FROM THE DUCKS TO HUMANS THAT WAY.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY HAVE YOU HAD ANY SORT OF INSPECTION ON YOUR PROPERTY FROM A PROFESSIONAL THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT THAT THAT'S A CONCERN? WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY BEFORE I CALL THE OTHER NEIGHBORS? MY WIFE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT, YOUR HONOR.
CAN YOU HEAR ME ALL RIGHT? BECAUSE I HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM.
I CAN HEAR YOU. BUT IF YOU COULD JUST STAND JUST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE.
OKAY, I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE UP A LOT OF YOUR TIME, BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT I CAN SPEAK HERE.
THE THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS AN ORCHESTRATED ENVIRONMENT.
I'M GOING TO SPEAK FOR THE DUCKS.
I HAVE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THEM BECAUSE OUR HOUSE HAS ENORMOUS WINDOWS ALONG THE BACK WHICH FACE THEIR BACK YARD AND OUR BACK YARD.
[00:35:09]
WHEN THOSE FIRST THREE BABY DUCKS ARRIVED, WHAT ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER, ALONG MY FENCE, THE LARGEST HAWKS YOU'VE EVER SEEN.I SAID, WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK? THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A SUPPER.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE WEAKEST LINK IN THOSE LITTLE BABIES.
SURE ENOUGH, OUR LAWN PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE YARD BECAUSE OF THE STUFF ALL OVER THEIR EQUIPMENT SAID TO US ONE DAY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A LITTLE WHITE DUCK. I SAID, WELL, THE TWO BLACK ONES BEAT UP ON THAT CONSTANTLY.
I LOVE ANIMALS AND THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME.
I ALSO LIKE OUR NEIGHBORS, BUT I THINK THEIR CHOICES ARE VERY POOR.
THESE DUCKS LIVE IN AN ORCHESTRATED ENVIRONMENT.
KIDDY POOL. DO THEY HAVE RAIN IN THAT POOL? GOD GAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO FLOAT ON THE PONDS.
YOU CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE CODE, YOU OPEN UP A PANDORA'S BOX.
DO YOU WANT EVERYBODY ELSE TO START COMING TO YOU AND SAY, I WANT CHEAP? LAMBS. OTHER ANIMALS.
I DON'T. OUR YARD IS ENORMOUS.
120 PLUS FEET OF OUR YARD ABUTS THEIRS.
I WANT THEM TO HAVE A NICE LIFE.
I'M NOT SAYING IT'S ALL THAT GREAT, HOWEVER, TO WATCH THESE ANIMALS AND SEE WHAT GOES ON.
IS VERY INJURIOUS TO MY EMOTIONAL HEALTH.
AND WHAT ABOUT ME? THE ONLY EMOTIONAL HEALTH I GET IS FROM THEIR DOG, WHICH I NEVER SEE ANYMORE BECAUSE HE CAN'T GO OUT IN THE YARD.
YOUR HONOR. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
I BELIEVE THERE'S SOME NEIGHBORS I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
I LIVE AT 181 SALMON DRIVE, WHICH IS TWO HOUSES OVER.
WE'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 1998 AND THIS COMMUNITY WE HAVE TAKEN ACTUALLY, ALEX AND FLETCHER TAKE MUCH MORE PRIDE IN THEIR YARD THAN I SAY. DARE SAY MY FAMILY DOES.
UNBELIEVABLE. ABILITY FOR THEM TO IMPROVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE I KNEW THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVED THERE BEFORE AND THE HOUSE HAS BEEN REDONE INSIDE.
OUTSIDE THE YARD IS IMMACULATE.
MY CONCERN FOR THIS IS THAT THESE DUCKS WERE AT THE BEGINNING, WERE NOT KNOWN TO BE DUCKS AND THEY ARE NOT CAUSING ANY NOISE.
THEY'RE NOT CAUSING MORE MITES OR INSECTS THAN WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
AND MY FEELING IS, IS THAT ALEX'S EMOTIONAL SUPPORT IS PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS RETIRED MILITARY. AND I UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT OF SERVICE MEMBERS AND WHAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH.
AND AS FAR AS MITES GETTING IN OR INSECTS GETTING INTO YOUR SCREENS, THAT'S YOUR SCREENING ISSUE, NOT MORE, MORE, MORE OF MOSQUITOES OR MITES BEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A WATER ISSUE.
[00:40:01]
WE HAVE SWALES THAT ARE CONSTANTLY FULL OF WATER BECAUSE THE MAIN SWALE NEVER GETS CLEANED OUT.AND I HAVE PICTURES OF THAT TO PROVE BECAUSE I CALL ALL THE TIME.
SO, SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IS THAT THE MITES AND THE INSECTS AND RESPECT TO THEIR COMPLAINT IS REALLY CANNOT BE CONSIDERED JUST FROM THOSE DUCKS BECAUSE DOGS DO POOP, CATS POOP, AND THEY ALL ARE A PART OF THE GROUND.
SO YOU CAN'T SAY, WELL, THESE MITES AND INSECTS ARE DUE TO THE DUCKS.
SO I REALLY JUST WANT TO SUPPORT ALEX AND FLETCHER BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE CHICKENS ARE NOISIER.
YOU CAN HAVE FOUR. THEY HAVE THREE CHICKENS ARE DIRTIER AND THEY ARE ALSO CONSIDERED FARM ANIMALS.
SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST GIVE MY SUPPORT TO THEM AND LET YOU KNOW THAT CITY OF PALM BAY AT THIS POINT, I UNDERSTAND ABOUT ORDINANCES AND CHANGES, BUT I'M JUST HOPING THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THIS QUICKLY AND PAINFULLY AND PAINFULLY.
THANK YOU. SABRINA, CAN YOU COME BACK UP? SO. IT SEEMS TO ME THE ONLY REAL ISSUE, THE ONLY REAL ISSUE THAT I'VE SEEN, THAT'S FOR ME, THAT WOULD BE FOR ME TO DECIDE IS WHETHER OR NOT THESE DUCKS ARE ACTUALLY THEY MEET THE DEFINITION OF FARM ANIMAL.
AND THE THE RESPONDENTS MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED THAT THE.
AMERICAN WITH DISABILITY ACTS REMOVES THE DUCKS FROM THE CATEGORY OF FARM ANIMALS.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY? HAVE YOU HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEFORE? I HAVE NOT.
JESSE MAY HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT.
SO. JESSE ANDERSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
NOT TO PUT HER ON THE SPOT AT ALL, BUT PATRICIA, IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS BECOMING SUPERSEDING OUR CODE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DEFINE AS A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN DEFINITION OF WHAT A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL IS? IT. I MEAN, CERTAINLY IT COULD IF THAT WAS DEFINED.
THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE THAT WAS PRESENTED.
IT CERTAINLY IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT THE CITY TO LOOK INTO, IF THEY ARE WILLING TO PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTATION AND YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THIS, I CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO IT AND BE ABLE TO PRESENT A MEMO OR AT LEAST THE CITY'S POSITION.
BUT THIS ISN'T SOMETHING I'M FAMILIAR WITH TO KIND OF DO IT OFF ON THE SPOT.
UM, IF I CAN HAVE THE RESPONDENTS BACK UP, PLEASE.
EXPLAIN HOW YOU KNOW, WHAT MY WHAT MY AUTHORITY IS.
SURE. SO MY AUTHORITY IS I CAN DECIDE IF YOU'RE IN VIOLATION OR YOU'RE NOT IN VIOLATION.
I CAN GIVE YOU EXTRA TIME TO BRING YOUR PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.
I DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE WHAT COMPLIANCE MEANS.
IF I HAVE THE BLACK LETTER LAW IS NO, NO KEEPING A FARM ANIMALS EXCEPT FOR CHICKENS.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DISPUTE THAT WE HAVE DUCKS ON THE PROPERTY.
THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF THE CODE.
NOW YOU PRESENTED ME WITH EVIDENCE OF.
DIAGNOSIS FROM FROM A PSYCHOLOGIST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE THESE DUCKS ARE NECESSARY.
MADE AN ARGUMENT THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER CONSIDERED FARM ANIMALS.
BASED ON THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT AND FAIR HOUSING ACT, WHICH I'M NOT FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH.
SO WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU GET RID OF THE DUCKS IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL ON THIS CODE CHANGE. AND THEN JUST BRING THEM RIGHT BACK.
THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S MORE TROUBLE THAN ANYBODY.
I WANT TO DO IS FOLLOW THE IS IS FOLLOW THE LAW HERE.
SO I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO FOR RIGHT NOW SO THAT I CAN COME TO A FAIR DECISION IS TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.
AND I WOULD I WOULD LIKE FOR THE CITY TO GIVE ME THEIR THEIR OPINION ON WHETHER OR NOT THE.
[00:45:07]
ADA AND THE FAIR HOUSING ACT WOULD CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF THESE DUCKS.BECAUSE IF THEY'RE UNFORTUNATELY IF THEY'RE IF THEY ARE IF YOUR ADA ARGUMENT DOESN'T HOLD UP, OF COURSE, AND THEY ARE FARM ANIMALS, THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND YOU IN VIOLATION.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO. OF COURSE.
WOULD YOU? OH, SO THIS HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO.
FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW SAYS ON THIS.
BUT UNTIL THEN, I THINK THAT'S I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO RULE ON THIS RIGHT NOW UNTIL I UNTIL I KNOW THE LAW. EXACTLY.
IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO YOU OR YOUR NEIGHBORS IF IF I IF I WERE TO MAKE A DECISION JUST BASED ON.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW. WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION? BECAUSE I KNOW UNDER A MORE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, ANIMALS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED UNDER THAT ANYMORE.
I WOULD. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALLOWED AND PROVIDE THE CITY.
YOU CAN DO THAT PROBABLY THROUGH SABRINA OR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THAT YOU THAT.
SUPPORTS YOUR ARGUMENT AND THEN THEY'LL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT.
MUCH APPRECIATE IT. YOU HAVE THIS BACK.
OKAY. SO AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE TABLING THIS TILL SEPTEMBER.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 23871, TWO THREE AT 366 RITTER AVENUE NORTHEAST.
AND THE CODE OFFICER IS ANGELICA SNEED.
ANGELICA SNEED, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY VIOLATIONS IS THE SECTION 185 010, WHICH IS MAINTAINING A PROHIBITED USE OF BUILDING STRUCTURE OR LAND FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT WHICH IS LOCATED.
AND THIS WAS CERTIFIED DELIVERED BY THE USPS.
SO WE HAVE THAT ALSO THAT IT WAS JULY 3RD, 2023.
AND BASICALLY WE HAVE A COMPLAINANT AND HE'S ADVISING THAT THEY'RE RUNNING A HOT TUB BUSINESS AND THEY'RE STORING THEIR EQUIPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
NOW, THE PICTURE THAT I TOOK, ONLY THING THAT REFLECTS IS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE PARKING BEHIND THE FENCE, WHICH I ALREADY SPOKE TO THE RESPONDENT AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANY LONGER, BUT THAT THEY WERE JUST DOING IT TEMPORARILY BECAUSE THEY HAD WORKERS AT THE HOUSE.
BUT THE COMPLAINANT IS HERE BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE IN REGARDS TO THAT.
NOW, WE ALREADY WENT OVER THIS BEFORE WITH THE RESPONDENT AND THEY ACTUALLY GOT A LOCATION, I KNOW, TO PUT THE HOT TUBS, BUT THE COMPLAINANT IS ADVISING THEY'RE STILL RUNNING IT.
CAN YOU CAN YOU GIVE ME THAT THE CASE NUMBER AGAIN, PLEASE? SURE. TO THE CEB.
SO IN THE PICTURE, I COULD ONLY PROVIDE YOU WHAT I CAN SEE FROM OUTSIDE THE FENCE.
SO I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY A SILLY QUESTION.
IS. IS IT AGAINST THE CODE SECTION 185 1010 TO RUN TO STORE THIS HOT TUBS IN YOUR HOUSE? YEAH. YOU CAN'T RUN THE WHOLE YOU CAN'T STORE THE COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT THERE.
YOU CAN'T STORE THE COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT.
AND LIKE NO RETAIL SHOULD BE GOING ON AGAIN.
WE WENT OVER THIS, I BELIEVE, LAST YEAR AND THEY THAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY CHANGED.
[00:50:04]
THEY GOT A LOCATION WHICH I VERIFIED I SHE HAS IT, THE RESPONDENT.BUT I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU WHAT I CAN GIVE YOU, WHICH IS THE PICTURE I PUT THERE.
YOU SAW THE EQUIPMENT ON THE PROPERTY, THE HOT TUBS.
I TOOK A PICTURE WHEN THEY HAD THE GATE OPEN AND I SEEN THE HOT TUB.
AND WE'VE THAT'S COMPLIED SINCE THEN.
AND I TOLD HIM THAT IF I CAN'T PROVE IT AND I CAN'T SEE IT, THEN I CAN'T REALLY GO FORWARD.
BUT HE ADVISED HE WOULD BE HERE TO PROVIDE PROOF.
OKAY. OKAY. BUT FROM THE FROM THE CITY, ALL WE HAVE IS THIS.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL I CAN GET.
AND THEN SHE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE IS PARKING BEHIND HER HOME WERE OF WORKERS FOR SOMETHING SHE WAS GETTING DONE IN THE HOUSE AND THAT THEY WON'T BE THERE ANY LONGER. SO THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
OKAY. HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNER.
HI, MY NAME IS DANETTE PEACE AND I OWN 366 RITTER.
YEAH, WE'VE HAD EXTREME AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH WITH THIS GENTLEMAN.
I'VE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE ON HIM SEVERAL TIMES.
OKAY. OH, AND FOR HE'S ACTUALLY SQUATTING IN THE HOUSE THAT HE LIVES IN.
SO FOR HIM TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH US IS KIND OF RIDICULOUS.
HE'S BEEN SQUATTING THERE FOR TWO YEARS.
I HAVE EVIDENCE FROM THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT HE LIVES AT.
I'M STRICTLY ON THE MARKETPLACE FOR ADVERTISING, SO I WHEN PEOPLE CONTACT ME ABOUT THE HOT TUBS, I LET THEM GIVE THEM MY HUSBAND'S INFORMATION, AND THEN HE PROCEEDS TO SEND THEM.
WE ARE ONLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
SO WE PROCEED TO SEND THEM TO OUR LOCATION, WHICH IS AT 2605 MALABAR ROAD.
WHEN YOU SAY THE MARKETPLACE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FACEBOOK.
UM, BEFORE WHEN COVID HAPPENED, THAT IS WHEN WE WERE WE HAD OUR OUR MAIN INVENTORY.
SO WE DEFINITELY CAN'T OPERATE OUT OF OUR HOME WITH 200 HOT TUBS.
HE HAD SAID THAT HE WAS WORKING WHEN THE POLICE WENT DOWN TO TALK TO HIM.
HE SAID HE WAS WORKING FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT.
AND IN I SAID, OKAY, THAT'S CRAZY.
UM, WE HAVE, WE HAVE VEHICLES.
I HAVE A LEXUS, WHICH IS MY CAR.
WE HAVE A SUBURBAN, AN ESCALADE, AND WE HAVE A PICKUP TRUCK.
UM, THEY DON'T ALL STAY AT OUR PROPERTY.
WE DO HAVE THEM MOVING BACK AND FORTH TO MALABAR.
ONE IS ONE THAT WE MOVE BACK AND FORTH.
WELL, DID HE? SO WHEN OUR GUYS CAME BACK FROM PICKING UP HOT TUBS, THEY GOT OFF 95, WENT TO COME PICK UP HOT TUB, WAS PICKED UP HOT TUBS FROM RANDOM PEOPLE'S HOMES.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE REFURBISH HOT TUBS.
SO THEY WENT TO PICK UP SOME HOT TUBS.
SO THEY WERE UNLOADING THOSE FOR ONTO OUT, OUT OUTSIDE OF OUR FENCE TO PUT ON THE OTHER TRAILER.
HE OF COURSE, HAS NEVER SPOKEN TO US OTHER THAN LAUGHING IN OUR FACE.
WE'VE TRIED TO SPEAK TO THIS GENTLEMAN IS HE HAS NOT.
HE'S NOT A PERSON YOU CAN TALK TO.
HE'S WENT THROUGH OUR GARBAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
[00:55:03]
OKAY. I THINK I.YEAH, HE'S. HE'S A DISTURBED PERSON.
WE'RE NOT. NOT HERE TO JUDGE HIM.
WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOU'VE GOT THE DATE.
YOU'VE GOT THIS VIOLATION ON JUNE 29TH.
UH HUH. AND THEN DATE, WHICH THE VIOLATION HAS TO BE CORRECTED BY HIS JULY 20TH.
SO AS OF JULY 20TH, IS THERE ANY COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT ON YOUR PROPERTY? NO, THERE NEVER HAS BEEN COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT.
THE ONLY I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT FOR A HOT TUB BUSINESS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING COMMERCIAL.
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY HOT TUBS STORED ON YOUR PROPERTY? NO, I HAVE A 19 FOOT SWIM SPA, WHICH IS ACTUALLY MY PERSONAL SPA IN THE BACKYARD.
AND I ALSO HAVE A REGULAR SPA, WHICH IS FOR MY HUSBAND.
SO YOU HAVE YOU ONLY HAVE TO WE HAVE TO CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY.
YES. HE'S TALKING ALSO ABOUT EXCESSIVE GARBAGE THAT WE HAVE.
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CITED FOR THAT.
YEAH. SO THAT'S JUST PART OF IT.
OKAY. SO SO I'M REALLY HE'S, HE'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2016 AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE COME FINALLY TO REPRESENT US BECAUSE I'M SO TIRED OF DEALING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT, TO BE HONEST.
IT'S JUST HE'S HE'S CONTINUALLY DOING THIS.
I'M ABOUT TO GET INTO CIVIL AT THIS POINT.
OKAY. WELL, I THINK I HAVE I HAVE ALL THE TESTIMONY I NEED FROM YOU ON THIS.
I'D LIKE TO. AND I ALSO HAVE MY NEIGHBOR HERE WHO LIVES DIRECTLY NEXT TO ME.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE COMPLAINANT.
ABSOLUTELY. AND IF YOU NEEDED TO SEE ANY OF THIS, I HAVE ALL OF THIS READY FOR YOU.
YOU. PLEASE COME UP. YES, SIR.
SCENARIO. VIOLA THE THREAD AND IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.
I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THEIR PROPERTY.
I'VE BEEN ON PUBLIC PROPERTY TAKING PICTURES OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG.
SHE CALLED THE POLICE, SENT THEM OVER TO MY HOUSE.
I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON.
YOU CAN TALK TO THE OFFICER, SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES THAT I TOOK WHILE I WAS IN MY CAR.
NEVER GOT OUT OF MY CAR, NEVER BEEN IN A I'D NEVER BEEN OUT TO THEIR PROPERTY AT NIGHT.
I'M IN BED BY 8:00 ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.
SO THIS IS WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON OHTHERE.
THE OFFICER SAID, GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING.
I HOPE YOU CAN GET THE BUSINESS GOING.
QUOTE UNQUOTE, FROM THE POLICE OFFICER.
I'VE GIVEN THEM TO THE ANGELICA.
SO MONDAY MORNING THERE'S 8 TO 10 TRASH BAGS FULL OF TRASH ALONGSIDE THE ROAD.
ISN'T THAT WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT THE TRASH ON THE ROAD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE TRASH? NO, I THINK THAT'S LITTERING.
AND IF THERE'S NO BUSINESS THERE, I'M HAPPY.
THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING SO THAT ANGELICA COULDN'T SEE IT.
OKAY. SO LIKE I WAS SAYING BEFORE, THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY BEFORE ME RIGHT NOW IS WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT BEING STORED ON THE PROPERTY AFTER JULY 20TH.
AND YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT PICTURES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ANY PICTURES TO PRESENT TO ME? I DON'T HAVE I GAVE THEM TO ANGELICA.
OKAY. OF OF THEM LOADING TRAILERS AND, YOU KNOW, THE TRASH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHATNOT.
IT WAS THIS IS THIS FROM THIS CASE?
[01:00:13]
I'M NOT CONCERNED. AND ALSO, YOUR HONOR, THERE'S A POLICE OFFICER THAT LIVES IN BETWEEN US.AND I MEAN, I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM HIM AT ALL.
AND AS FAR AS THE NEIGHBOR, I DON'T KNOW THIS NEIGHBOR AT ALL.
UM. OH, ANYTHING ELSE? PARDON ME. ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? WHAT'S THAT? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY. THANK YOU.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE NEIGHBOR NOW.
I JUST HAVE I JUST HAVE ONE ONE QUESTION.
I'M NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR TESTIMONY ON ONE ONE PERSON'S BEHAVIOR OR NOT.
I'M JUST I'M JUST GOING TO ASK YOU, IS HAVE YOU IS THERE ANY ARE THERE ANY HOT TUBS OR OTHER COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT ON THE PROPERTY? NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
AND I GO OVER THERE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I ASK THEM TO FIX MY POOL PUMP.
BUT I DO HAVE AN ISSUE IF HE IS GOING AROUND TAKING PICTURES AND YES, HE HAS BEEN WALKING AND HE DOES GO BY MY HOUSE WALKING AND TAKES PICTURES OF MY HOUSE IS RIGHT NEXT TO HERS.
I HAVE A DISABLED SON THAT IS AUTISTIC AND I ALSO HAVE A 14 YEAR OLD CHILD AND I DO NOT NEED HIM TO BE DRIVING BY MY HOUSE ALL THE TIME, TAKING PICTURES BECAUSE MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS THERE.
AND TO ME, THAT MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
AND I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT HE'S BEEN BEHIND OUR HOUSES TAKING PICTURES.
I HAVE A POOL BEHIND MY HOUSE THAT MY CHILDREN GO SWIMMING IN.
I UNDERSTAND. BUT THAT IS THAT'S WAY BEYOND.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I LIVE ON.
I LIVE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
HEY. FIRST OF ALL, YOU DON'T SPEAK UNLESS YOU'RE UP AT THE PODIUM FOR EVERYONE.
THIRD, I DON'T NEED TO HEAR ANYTHING MORE OF.
I THINK I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING I NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.
MY DECISION HAS TO BE BASED ON EVIDENCE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT.
THE ONLY THE ONLY PICTURE I HAVE FROM THE CITY IS IS THIS PICTURE THAT SHOWS TWO TWO TRUCKS WHICH. ARE NOT THEY'RE NOT BEING STORED THERE.
THE CITY HAS SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY HOT TUBS ON THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME.
WE'VE GOT COMPETING STORIES FROM NEIGHBORS.
SO. THERE IS THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE BOTH GOING BOTH WAYS.
HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS PROPERTY IS IN VIOLATION AT THIS TIME.
HOWEVER, I HAVEN'T BEEN PRESENTED WITH ANY EVIDENCE.
THE ONE PICTURE THAT WE DO HAVE IS FROM A HOT TUB THAT'S WAS ON A TRUCK.
I. I DON'T CONSIDER THAT HAVING BEEN STORED BECAUSE THE TRUCK COULD BE THE TRUCK IS NOT THERE NOW.
SO I AM GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT IN VIOLATION.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 23884231149.
[01:05:02]
THE CODE OFFICER IS PHIL CLENDENIN.PHIL CLENDENON, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
TWO OF THE FOUR VIOLATIONS STILL EXIST.
SECTIONS 170 .111 FAILURE TO SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR FENCE AND SECTION 185 .123.
THE PARKING VIOLATION VIOLATIONS STILL EXIST THERE.
HE HAS FOUR VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED ON THE REAR OF THE LOT.
HE DID PUT UP, I THINK, PROBABLY 3 OR 4 SECTIONS OF FENCE JUST TO COVER THEM.
BUT HE DIDN'T ENCLOSE THE THE PROPERTY AND HE LIVES ON A CORNER LOT.
HE HAS TWO VACANT LOTS AND IN HIS HOUSE, SO HE HAS THEM ALL MARRIED.
SO BASICALLY HE LIVES ON A CORNER LOT, SO HE HAS TO HAVE THEM FENCED IN.
WHAT WAS THE CASE NUMBER AGAIN? 884, AND THE RESPONDENT IS HERE FOR AN EXTENSION.
I CAN'T HEAR AS QUICK AS YOU CAN TALK.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.
GREETINGS, SIR. MY NAME IS TRAVIS GRIFFIN.
SO THIS SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN, THAT WE'RE FACED WITH, I GUESS THE COMPLAINANT OR WHOEVER STARTED THIS WHOLE BALL ROLLING TO GET THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TO COME OUT.
IF IT'S THE PERSON THAT I'M THINKING, SHE DOESN'T EVEN STAY ON MY STREET.
FIRST OF ALL, SHE WALKS AROUND WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED.
I WAS WHEN WE MOVED IN THE HOUSE, RIGHT.
AND I HAD TO GO TO ALABAMA TO CLEAN UP EVERYTHING.
I BROUGHT A CAR BACK, WHICH IS MY FATHER'S CAR.
SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK, PUT IT IN THE YARD.
THAT WAS A VIOLATION BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SITTING IN ONE OF THE VACANT LOTS.
HE SAID WE HAD TO HAVE A FENCE.
SO I SAID, OKAY. I CAME TO COURT.
THEY TOLD ME TO PUT A FENCE UP AND IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE ONCE I HAD EVERYTHING COVERED.
SO I ATTEMPTED TO START DOING IT.
COLLAPSED. HEART FAILURE IN THE YARD THAT STARTED THE WHOLE PROCESS OF MY HEALTH ISSUE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS COVID, BUT IT WASN'T COVID.
BUT WHEN WAS THAT? THAT WAS IT'S BEEN IT'S WHEN IT STARTED.
IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS NOW WHEN WE FIRST MOVED INTO THE HOUSE.
SO PROCEEDING FROM THERE AFTER I STARTED, WELL, I THINK IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I CAME TO COURT.
SO. AFTER ALL THAT TOOK PLACE AND I STARTED CORRECTING THE ISSUES.
LIKE I SAID, I COLLAPSED OUT IN THE YARD FROM WORKING AND FOUND OUT I HAD HEART ISSUES.
MY HEART WAS OPERATING AT ABOUT 10%.
DOCTORS SAID I SHOULDN'T EVEN BEEN LIVING, SO I STARTED TAKING IT EASY.
I STARTED DOING WHAT I COULD DO.
YARD'S ALWAYS BEEN KEPT UP, CUT STUFF AT THAT TIME WHEN SHE SO-CALLED WALKED AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEEN THE GRASS GROWING UP MY REFRIGERATOR IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT WENT OUT.
SO I PUSHED IT OUT INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO GET IT, YOU KNOW, GET IT REMOVED.
BUT. IN THE PROCESS OF THAT, I ENDED UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, SO I WAS IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
MY FRIEND OF MINE BROUGHT HIS KIDS OVER SO THEY CAN CUT THE GRASS.
AND THEY DID THAT FOR ME WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND STUFF.
BUT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, YOU KNOW, YARD'S BEEN KEPT UP.
I'VE PUT UP THAT SECTION OF FENCE AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, I COLLAPSED, WINNING THE HOSPITAL.
SO I'VE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO DO.
TO SO-CALLED MAKE MY YARD PRESENTABLE FOR MY NEIGHBORS.
NO ISSUES. IT'S NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOOD ON MY STREET.
BUT WHOEVER WALKS AROUND OR WHATEVER, WHOEVER MADE THE COMPLAINT.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON MY STREET.
SINCE THEN, EVERYTHING'S BEEN CUT.
I JUST GOT TO FINISH THE FENCE, YOU KNOW? BUT RIGHT NOW, SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING.
HEART ISSUES OR DARTERS IN SCHOOL.
I JUST I JUST WANT TO GET THIS OVER WITH.
[01:10:01]
SO, I MEAN, WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE, IF YOU CAN GIVE ME AN EXTENSION TO DO WHAT I GOT TO DO, I'M AT THE MERCY OF Y'ALL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE.ALL RIGHT. WELL, LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE, YOU KNOW, I CAN I'VE AUTHORITY TO GRANT EXTENSIONS.
I JUST MY DECISIONS HAVE TO BE BASED ON EVIDENCE.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
YES, SIR. I CAN DETERMINE THIS.
SO THERE ARE FOUR VIOLATIONS ON HERE? I BELIEVE. SO.
FAILURE TO OBTAIN SITE PLAN, APPROVAL FOR OFFENSE.
HAVE YOU OBTAINED THE SITE PLAN? APPROVAL? SO WHEN I CAME IN FOR MY LIKE I SAID A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED, WHEN I CAME IN, THEY SAID, PUT THE FENCE UP.
NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT A PLAN OR A PERMIT OR ANYTHING.
SO I WENT AND BOUGHT THE STUFF AND STARTED DOING THE FENCE.
AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, I HAD I HAD A HEART ISSUES, BUT NO ONE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I CAME IN.
SO YOU STILL NEED TO YOU STILL NEED TO GET THE PLAN APPROVAL.
YEAH. WELL, HE JUST HE JUST INFORMED ME OF THAT.
SO I'M GOING TO GO CHECK ON THAT AND GET, YOU KNOW, THIS NEXT ONE.
RUBBISH OR GARBAGE ACCUMULATION.
AND THIS WAS FOR THE APPLIANCES AND THE DRIVEWAY THAT WAS STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY.
WHEN WAS THAT REMOVED? IT'S BEEN REMOVED. I MEAN, WHEN WHEN HE CAME IN, WHEN THEY FIRST PUT THE THE THING ON THERE.
OKAY. SO AND THEN I'M JUST GOING TO JUMP TO THE LAST ONE HERE.
YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN MOWING YOUR LAWN AS IF THEY WERE TO GO TO YOUR PROPERTY TODAY.
OKAY. CAN YOU ANSWER THAT? BACK ON THE JULY 18TH, WHEN I WERE OUT THERE TO TAKE PHOTOS.
THE GRASS WAS CUT AT THE TIME.
NOW, I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK OUT THERE SINCE JULY 18TH, SO.
DID YOU HAVE FOUR VEHICLES? OKAY, SO THIS IS HOW YOU GOT A PICTURE OF THAT? I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU SO YOU CAN GET A PICTURE OF THE IDEA.
THERE'S A VACANT LOT WHERE THE FENCE IS.
THE REASON WHY YOU CAN SEE IT NOW IS BECAUSE I MOVED IT OUT BECAUSE I WAS WORKING ON IT.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
SO I THINK I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION IS FOR THE CITY.
YES, SIR. SO IF IF HE COMPLETES THE FENCE, DOES THAT SOLVE THE PARKING PROBLEM? OKAY. SO REALLY, THE ONLY THING WE'RE THE ONLY THING WE REALLY NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE FENCE FIXED.
CORRECT. SO AND THAT'S AND THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THE SITUATION.
LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
SO ACTUALLY THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE AND IT'S JUST BEEN AN ISSUE WITH ME.
SO MY DAUGHTER IS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK.
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE PERMIT? YEAH. OH.
3 OR 4 DAYS. RESIDENTIAL RESEARCH SURVEY.
OKAY, SO WE'LL CALL IT A MONTH TO GET THE PERMIT.
AND THEN HOW FAST? HOW MUCH HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU PUT UP THE FENCE? ONCE, LIKE I SAID, I'M I'M WORKING.
I'M TRYING TO BE IN COMPLIANCE ON IT.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO SEE HIM RIDE BY AND THROW HIS HAND UP AND KEEP GOING.
SO THAT MEANS HE'S NOT MESSING WITH ME.
I JUST NEED SOME KIND OF ESTIMATE FROM YOU.
I MEAN, I CAN'T MAKE THAT ESTIMATE FOR YOU.
SO I'M GOING TO WORK ON THE FENCE PART.
I HAVE A FRIEND THAT DOES THE FENCE, YOU KNOW, DOES FENCE.
SO IF I CAN GET WITH HIM AND HE CAN HELP ME OUT, THAT WOULD BE I CAN GO AHEAD AND BE INCOMPLIANT.
THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE IDEAL.
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU IT SOUNDS LIKE A THREE MONTH EXTENSION IS APPROPRIATE.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO GET ALL THE PERMITS AND EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
AND THEN TWO MONTHS, LIKE YOU SAID, TO PUT UP THE PUT UP THE FENCE.
[01:15:04]
SO YOUR NEW COMPLIANCE DATE WILL BE NOVEMBER 7TH, 2023.FINE. FOR EACH DAY THAT THE THE AFTER THAT.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT. THANK YOU, SIR.
I REALLY. ALL RIGHT. TAKE CARE.
YES, SIR. NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB2.
SO NOW I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO EVERYBODY IN HERE, THE COMPLAINTS AND STUFF, SO.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY PEOPLE CAN WALK AROUND AND MAKE COMPLAINTS ON, YOU KNOW.
OKAY. WELL, I'M I'M NOT I'M NOT REALLY EMPOWERED TO GIVE ANY.
FOR WHAT, THOUGH? I KNOW THAT'S YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE PROCESS, YOU'LL HAVE TO BRING THAT UP.
THANK YOU. OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 2390323 AT 694 TAR AVENUE SOUTHWEST CODE OFFICER IS LISA WEGGELAND.
SLOWED DOWN FOR ME, AND I STILL ALMOST MISSED IT.
THE. BUT OFFICER LISA WICKLUND, THE VIOLATION IS FOR 93.04 FOR THE NUISANCE VEG. THE COMPLAINT WAS FOR FROM 691 TO GREATRILLIONOAD, WHICH IS REAR RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY, AND THE RESPONDENT IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
AND I WAS COMPELLED TO COME TODAY FROM LAKE WORTH 120 MILES TO BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR, WELL, AJ, SHE'S KITTY CORNER.
SHE'S TELLING SHE'S SAYING ALL THIS OVERGROWTH EXISTS.
SO I CAME UP AND I LOOKED AT IT SUNDAY AND I TOOK THREE PICTURES FOR YOU.
SHE HAS A LOT NEXT TO ME THAT'S TOTALLY EMPTY, BUT IT HAS A FENCE UP.
UM. DO YOU BRING THIS UP? LET'S JUST SAY.
YEAH. SO I WALKED FROM THE STREET, THE END OF HER FENCE, ALL THE WAY UP NEAR HER HOUSE, AND IT WAS FINE.
I DIDN'T NEED ANY WEEDKILLER OR ANYTHING.
THEN THE PROBLEM I CAME UP ALSO BECAUSE I HAD THIS DONE 1220 FROM BRUSH BUSTERS AND EVERY TIME I HE COMES OUT FOR ANYTHING, IT'S $250 AND HE ALONG THE STREET TO AVENUE ISN'T NEEDED.
I HAVE THREE PROPERTIES ON PARR AVENUE AND.
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS ISSUES.
DO YOU HAVE A REGULAR LAWN SERVICE? COME OUT AND TRIM THESE PLANTS? I CAME OUT IN LATE APRIL AND THROUGH A LITTLE WEED GRASS KILLER.
BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE HEIGHT OF THE PLANTS.
THERE ARE ABOUT 12IN NOW, BUT THERE'S A NICE AREA WIDTH WISE TO WALK.
WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN YOU'VE BEEN CITED AS.
VIOLATION OF SECTION 93.04 FOR HAVING.
EXCESSIVE EXCESSIVE VEGETATION GROWTH.
THEN HE PROVIDED ME SOME PICTURES.
SO. IT APPEARS TO ME RIGHT NOW THAT THAT THAT WOULD IS IN VIOLATION.
WHY? I MEAN, WHY THE WITH THE PLANTS THAT ARE ON THE SITE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK.
SO FOR THE PICTURE SHOWING THE VIOLATION IS IT IS IT PUSHES OFF TO THE SIDE HERE.
YES. IT'S GOT TO BE 15FT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
IT USED TO BE IF THERE WAS NO STRUCTURE.
BUT NOW THE PROPERTY, THE COMPLAINANT HAS A FENCE.
IT'S 15FT FROM THEIR PROPERTY LINE.
THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE 15FT NOW.
[01:20:06]
I DON'T. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE.I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT AND MAKE YOU GUESSTIMATE HOW MUCH? HOW, WHAT? 15FT IS ON HERE.
BUT I'M NOT SEEING A WHOLE. A LOT OF DIFFERENT DID.
WAS THERE ANY MEASUREMENT DONE? NO, BUT THERE'S IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE THE POWER POLE.
AND USUALLY THE POWER POLE IS LIKE A MARKING OF TO SEE.
IS THAT ANOTHER EMPTY LOT? AND HE'S IN KANSAS.
THE COMPLAINANT PUTS A COMPLAINT ON BOTH LOTS AT THE SAME TIME EVERY TIME.
SO YOU MUST PUT IT ON HER CALENDAR BECAUSE SHE CALLED THE EXACT SIX MONTHS.
AND WE'VE BEEN VERY NICE TO HER.
HOW LONG HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE? A. FIVE WEEKS.
THE THING IS, LOOKING OVER TWO CONTRACTS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SELL MY BLOCKS.
EXCUSE ME. CAN YOU COME CLOSER TO THE MIC? I'M IN THE. I'M LOOKING AT TWO CONTRACTS.
I'VE HAD OFFERS ON MY THREE PROPERTIES ON THAT STREET.
I HAVE THE ONE NEXT TO IT, TWO TOGETHER AND THE ONE ON TARR AND SCOTT.
SO I THINK I'M JUST GOING TO BE SELLING THEM.
I'M HAVING CONTRACTS REVIEWED.
WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT.
HAVE. IT DOES LOOK LIKE YOU'VE BEEN KEEPING IT NEAT, BUT IT'S STILL NOT IN CODE COMPLIANCE.
SO I'M I'M HAPPY TO GRANT YOU AN EXTENSION TO GET THAT DONE.
WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, YOU SAID.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THOSE BUSHES THERE THAT ARE ABOUT 12IN NOW NEED TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE GROUND? NO, YOU JUST THEY JUST NEED TO BE TRIMMED BACK SO THAT THERE'S 15FT OF SPACE BETWEEN.
I'LL TRY AND CALL THIS GUY IF I DON'T SELL IT.
ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO GET THOSE TRIMMED BACK? YES. AND IF I DO SELL THE PROPERTIES, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL LISA? YEAH. CALL LISA. I MEAN, IT'S.
IT'S THE PROPERTY, NOT YOU, THAT'S IN NONCOMPLIANCE.
SO IT'S. I GUESS YOU'LL DRIVE BY REGARDLESS OF WHO THE OWNER IS.
IT NEEDS TO BE. IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT IN.
KNOW, $50 A DAY FOR EVERY DAY AFTER OCTOBER 8TH.
THE CITY WILL BE AUTHORIZED TO TAKE WHATEVER MEASURES.
FROM THE PROPERTY WITH VEGETATION BACK.
OKAY. I STILL DON'T, SAID A $50 A DAY.
PLUS WHATEVER IT COST TO CONTRACT.
AND THEN I'D HAVE TO TRY AND GET ANOTHER EXTENSION, WHICH I WOULDN'T DO.
THE FINE WOULD BE $200 PLUS THE COST TO THE CITY OF CUTTING IT BACK.
THANK YOU. OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB2 23920231180 CONDOR STREET SOUTHEAST, AND THE CODE OFFICER IS PHILIP CLENDENNEN.
[01:25:32]
PHIL CLENDENIN, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITH CITY OF PALM BAY.THE VIOLATIONS SECTION 9304, SUBSECTION EIGHT A AND ONE NUISANCE VEGETATION STILL EXIST AND I GUESS THE RESPONDENT IS HERE.
JUST TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS PICTURE HERE? WHERE? YEAH, WHERE? OKAY, SO LET ME.
PLEASE SAY YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. MY NAME IS JORGE RIVERO.
I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS HEARING THIS MORNING.
I WASN'T AWARE OF ANY CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUE.
I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY.
I WAS MADE AWARE OF IT BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IS SCHEDULED TO CLOSE AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
IT'S UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW.
AND THE TITLE COMPANY MADE ME AWARE OF THIS TODAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS GOING ON.
I'M ASSUMING THERE WAS A COMPLAINANT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF YOU ON CONDOR.
YEAH. SO THE COMPLAINANT IS ROCKABYE.
SO BASICALLY, THE COMPLAINANT LIVES RIGHT HERE.
YOU OWN THIS PROPERTY? YEAH. SO THEY WANTED TO CUT BACK 15FT FROM THEIR PROPERTY AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
SO YOU MEAN POST? WHAT IS THAT POST? I HAD TO GO POST THE PROPERTY.
APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE THE MAIL.
BUT THAT WOULD ENTAIL ME GOING OUT THERE AND SEEING IT AND CORRECT IT.
JUST SAYS, SEND IT TO YOU, CERTIFIED MAIL IT.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BAD LUCK INCIDENTS ON MY PART.
SO I WASN'T AWARE OF ANY OF THIS.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I WAS GONE ON THIS TRIP, THIS ESCALATED QUITE QUICKLY.
BUT DURING MY TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS UNDER CONTRACT.
SO I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT WE COULD DO HERE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE KIND OF COLD TO FORCE ME TO SPEND WHATEVER I'D HAVE TO SPEND TO CLEAR THOSE 15FT JUST THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING WHERE THESE FOLKS HAVE ALREADY AT LEAST STATED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF CLEARING IT AND BUILDING A HOME ON IT.
YOU KNOW, THAT THAT IS UNFORTUNATE.
THAT. THIS IS COMING AT AN UNFORTUNATE TIME FOR YOU.
HOWEVER, MEAN EVERYTHING I'M SEEING LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN ORDER.
THE CITY THE CITY POSTED THE NOTICE.
HOWEVER, THERE'S NO DOUBT PROPERLY.
AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU DISPUTE THAT THERE IS OVERGROWN VEGETATION WITHIN 15FT.
I'D HAVE TO GO LOOK AT IT. BUT SURE, IF IT'S IN PICTURES, IT IS WHAT IT IS.
[01:30:04]
SO, YOU KNOW, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THE PROPERTY IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.SO WE NEED TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE.
UM, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GET THE GET THE VEGETATION CUT BACK WITHIN THREE WEEKS? UM, I DON'T THINK SO.
THE REASON I'M SELLING THE PROPERTY IS FOR FINANCIAL NEEDS.
THREE WEEKS. I MEAN, I'M CLOSING IN THREE WEEKS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MY ISSUE.
AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLANS ON DEVELOPING.
AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM AND DEVELOP THIS HOUSE AND BUILD UP THIS COMMUNITY, YOU'RE FREE TO WORK OUT WITH WHOEVER YOU WANT TO PAY FOR IT OR TO DO THE TO DO THE WORK. BUT.
ALSO WOULDN'T BE FAIR FOR ME TO.
SADDLE IT ON THEM IF THEY'RE HAVEN'T EVEN OWN THE PROPERTY YET.
GOING TO GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION, BUT I JUST NEED HOW MUCH TIME YOU CAN GET THIS DONE.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THREE WEEKS IS THE MOST I CAN.
PERSONALLY. THAT'S IF WE WANTED TO.
YOU KNOW, AND ENFORCE THAT AND PUSH THAT UPON ME AT THIS LATE IN THE GAME, IF YOU WILL.
BUT IF I CONTACTED THE FOLKS AND ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF LETTER OR SOMETHING STATING THAT IN THE NEXT X AMOUNT OF WEEKS OR MONTHS, THEY WILL BE CLEARING AND DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY. THAT I WOULD CLEAR THIS UP AND HOPEFULLY THE NEIGHBORS OR WHOEVER COMPLAIN COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LITTLE EMPATHY AND ALLOW THESE FOLKS TO DEVELOP THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND BRING UP THEIR PROPERTY VALUE.
AND I JUST WOULD HATE FOR THIS CLOSING TO FALL OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
AND THEN THAT LAND JUST STAYS THERE.
I'M FORCED TO FIND MONEY TO CLEAR IT AND NOTHING GETS BUILT.
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE BEST FOR THE CITY.
IT'S ALL LEGAL. LIKE I CAN PROVIDE PROOF THAT I WASN'T IN THE COUNTRY.
I CAN PROVIDE PROOF THAT THIS IS UNDER CONTRACT.
THAT WOULD RESOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. AND ALL WE'RE REALLY ASKING FOR IS JUST MORE TIME.
I'VE OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR YEARS AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT.
I POSTED ONLINE TO SELL AND WITHIN DAYS SOMEBODY'S COMPLAINING AND I'M WRAPPED UP IN THIS.
IT JUST SEEMS. I WON'T SAY ARE JUST UNFORTUNATE, I SUPPOSE.
THEY CAN DO IS GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION UNTIL.
I MEAN, THAT GIVES YOU IT GIVES YOU ALMOST THREE WEEKS TO FIND SOMEONE TO CUT THAT BACK AND.
GOING TO HAVE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.
IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEFOREHAND.
THAT'S. THAT'S WHERE THE EMPATHY NEEDS TO COME IN.
I CAN'T LET YOU KNOW THE CITY IS GOING TO BE POTENTIALLY SADDLED WITH THIS PROBLEM AGAIN IF.
I'M TRYING TO TAKE THE HEARSAY WORD OF SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT EVEN HERE TO SAY, YEAH, WE'LL CUT IT BACK, YOU KNOW? THE ONLY PERSON THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THE PROPERTY OWNER, WHICH IS YOU.
SO WHY NOT MAKE THE EXTENSION? GIVE ME THAT TIME TO EITHER FIND A WAY TO GET IT CLEARED AS TO THEIR SATISFACTION OR PROVIDE SOMETHING THAT SAYS THIS COMPANY TAKING OVER, WE'LL BE DOING THIS AND HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE.
I DON'T SEE WHY THAT'S THAT CAN'T BE AN OPTION.
SO THE COMPLAINT CAME IN JUNE, AROUND JUNE THE 1ST OF JUNE.
SO IT'S BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS SINCE THE COMPLAINT CAME IN.
SO I WISH I HAD RECEIVED SOMETHING ALERTING ME THIS BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT SOONER.
BUT. AND THAT'S WHERE MY HOME IS NOW.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT I RECEIVED IT? NO. SO I NEVER GOT THIS.
AND I WASN'T AWARE UNTIL THIS MORNING OF THIS PROBLEM.
[01:35:06]
AND AT THAT POINT, IT'S A $200 FLAT FINE AND THE CITY WILL BE AUTHORIZED TO.OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB2 387923 AT 301 KEEBLE AVENUE SOUTHWEST, AND THE CODE OFFICER IS LISA WEGMAN.
BUT I'VE STARTED. LISA WEGGELAND CITY OF PALM BAY.
AND LEASES THE PROPERTY STILL IN VIOLATION? CORRECT. I CHECKED IT THIS MORNING.
MY NAME IS SHEILA OWENS AND I LIVE AT 301 SYBIL AVENUE.
I'M REQUESTING AN EXTENSION TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
I HAVE AN UNUSUAL SITUATION WITH MY PROPERTY.
I WAS I MET WITH THIS YOUNG LADY HERE AND SHE EXPLAINED TO WE TRIED TO GO FIND WHICH LOCATION WE CAN PUT IT ON MY PROPERTY.
AND IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THAT PROPERTY IS WHAT WOULD BE OKAY TO PUT THE TRAILER THERE.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, IS MY WELL IS THERE AND THERE'S A POWER POLE THERE.
OKAY. IF I BACKED IT UP TO BECOME FLUSH WITH THE GARAGE, MY TRAILER IS 8.5FT WIDE AND MY PROPERTY IS TEN, I'D BE ON OTHER SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY.
OKAY. SO THEN WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING IT IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.
WELL, I HAVE THREE OAK TREES IN THE BACK YARD, SO I'D HAVE TO LITERALLY TAKE OUT AN OAK TREE.
I'D HAVE TO PUT IN A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY.
SO EVEN IF AND I CANNOT PUT IT COME THROUGH THE FRONT YARD BECAUSE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IS MY DRAIN FIELD. SO I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON WHERE I CANNOT PUT THIS ANYWHERE ELSE.
NOW I'VE BEEN GETTING SOME ESTIMATES ON PUTTING IN A CULVERT, PUTTING IN A DRIVEWAY, CUTTING DOWN A TREE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS THAT IS A HARDSHIP FOR ME.
I AM ON A FIXED INCOME, SO I AM ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION OF SOME TIME TO BE ABLE TO RAISE THE FUNDS, TO COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, A PLAN OF ATTACK TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
THAT IS THAT IS DEFINITELY MY GOAL IS TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
I NEED ADDITIONAL TIME TO DO THIS.
HAVE YOU HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO STORING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, STORAGE FACILITY? AND ALSO, I MEAN, THEY HAVE LITERALLY DOUBLED IN PRICE WITH REGARDS TO STORING IT.
SO. YES, BUT I DID THAT'S THE FIRST THING I DID WAS CHECK, YOU KNOW, STORAGE AND.
EITHER. THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
I HAVE TO CHOOSE FIGURE OUT THE LEAST AMOUNT OF IMPACT ON MY INCOME.
ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE THAT YOU.
YES. DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE FOR ANY OF THOSE? THE WAY I WAS THINKING IS THAT IF I CAN JUST HAVE MAYBE THE END OF JANUARY SIMPLY BECAUSE AT THAT TIME, FILING INCOME TAX WOULD GET ME A REFUND, I WOULD BE ABLE TO ATTACK A LOT OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE WITH SAVINGS THAT I HAVE WITH.
THE INCOME TAX THAT I WOULD GET, THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING.
NO. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T KNOW IF I THINK THAT THAT'S THAT'S ALSO A VERY LONG TIME FOR NEIGHBORS TO HAVE A PROPERTY THAT'S OUT OF COMPLIANCE. WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU NEEDED THAT TIME, IF YOU HAD LIKE A CONTRACTOR LINED UP AND YOU WERE CONSTRUCTING A FENCE OR A CULVERT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO FACILITATE.
[01:40:05]
SO FACILITATE STORAGE OF THE RV.THEN. THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND.
BUT. UM, I JUST DON'T SEE I DON'T SEE ENOUGH, ENOUGH OF A PLAN HERE AND, YOU KNOW, FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
BECAUSE YOU ARE CHOOSING TO OWN THE RV.
YOU DON'T. YOU DON'T HAVE TO OWN THE RV AND.
BUT YOU DO HAVE TO KEEP YOUR PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.
SO. I'M I'M WILLING TO GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION, BUT IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE A SHORT ONE.
AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE SO THAT YOU CAN FIND SOME.
PROPERTY STORAGE, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION.
I DON'T I JUST DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO THE FAIR TO YOUR NEIGHBORS TO GIVE YOU.
EXTENSION TILL TILL JANUARY OR.
POSSIBLY BE EVEN TILL APRIL IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RELYING ON A TAX REFUND.
IF I GAVE YOU A ONE MONTH EXTENSION, WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO FIND.
WELL, IT'S MORE TIME THAN I HAVE RIGHT NOW, SO.
I'D HAVE TO LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHAT IS AFFORDABLE TO ME.
IF YOU CAN MAYBE DO ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS LATER ON AND THEN YOU CAN BRING THE YOU COULD BRING BRING THE RV BACK ON TO YOUR PROPERTY WHEN IT WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE, BUT AT THIS TIME. I'LL GIVE YOU.
A 30 DAY EXTENSION TO SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2023.
SEPTEMBER, YOU SAID SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2023, SO THAT YOU CAN FIND FIND A PLACE TO STORE IT.
AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET AN EXTENSION FROM THERE OR IS IT JUST FINE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS? MY MY PHILOSOPHY GENERALLY IS IF SOMEONE'S MAKING A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO BRING THEIR PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE, I'LL GIVE THEM THE EXTRA TIME THEY NEED.
WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PROPERTIES THAT HAVE COME INTO VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE.
