[CALL TO ORDER]

[ADOPTION OF MINUTES]

[BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE CASES]

OLD BUSINESS EB 2571025 HAS COME INTO VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE.

SO THAT CASE IS NOW CLOSED. OUR NEXT CASE IS CB 2571225 AT 467 FOXTAIL AVENUE NORTHEAST.

KEVIN COSTA, CITY OF PALM BAY BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE.

THIS PROPERTY FOR 67 FOXTAIL IS BEING BROUGHT IN FOR WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT.

IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT WINDOWS AND POSSIBLY A REMODEL WERE BEING COMPLETED.

PERMIT WAS NOT REQUIRED. WAS NOT OBTAINED. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED THE PROPERTY OWNER SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2024.

AND AS OF YESTERDAY, A PERMIT HAS STILL NOT BEEN APPLIED FOR.

OKAY. CAN I HAVE THE FOLDER, PLEASE? THANKS. IS THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE? OKAY. SIR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK. CAN YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? VINCENT STEVENS AND I AM HIRED A CONTRACTOR TO TAKE CARE OF THE PERMITTING AND DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO TO GET THE HOUSE UNDERWAY.

OKAY. SO WHAT? EXACT WHAT KIND OF PERMITTING DO YOU NEED DONE TO TO WINDOWS IN THE FRONT OF THE HOME? AND POSSIBLY A GARAGE DOOR. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THE PERMIT? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERMITS HAVEN'T BEEN APPLIED FOR YET.

DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME WHEN THEY'LL BE. WHEN THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED? TWO MONTHS. TWO MONTHS TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I MEAN, EVERYONE WANTS TO DO IT.

30 DAYS, 30 DAYS, 30 DAYS. DO IT IN ONE MONTH.

OKAY, WELL, I'M JUST I'M ASKING NOT FOR HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK, BUT TO ACTUALLY JUST FILL IT OUT AND TURN IT IN.

CAN'T THAT BE DONE TODAY? YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

I CAN DO THAT TODAY. OKAY. IF I COULD HEAR FROM BUILDING ONE MORE TIME, SIR.

YEAH, IF YOU'D LIKE. IF I COULD HEAR FROM YOU. OKAY.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE HERE SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN.

THEY'RE READY TO APPLY. I'M NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

YOU KNOW, THESE TWO MONTHS CAN DO IT TODAY, BUT, I MEAN, WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR AS FAR AS THE TIME FRAME OF FOR APPLYING FOR THESE APPLICATIONS? IS THERE SOMETHING PREVENTING THEM FROM APPLYING TODAY? THERE IS NOTHING THAT'S PREVENTING THEM FROM APPLYING.

OKAY. IT CAN BE OBTAINED IN A DAY. THE PERMIT APPLIES TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT.

THE PERMIT ISSUANCE CAN TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS. HOWEVER, THE TURNAROUND TIME IS RATHER QUICK IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT SO IT CAN BE ISSUED BACK TO THEM, YOU KNOW, IN LESS THAN A MONTH TIME FRAME.

OKAY. WOULD SIMPLY APPLYING FOR THE PERMIT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VIOLATION? THEY CAN APPLY, BUT THEY NEED TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT AND COMPLETE THE FINAL INSPECTION.

THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT'S BEING SOUGHT AFTER. OKAY.

OKAY, SIR. GOT A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, SIR.

IF YOU COULD JUST STAND UP, GO FOR THE MIC. OKAY.

SO WHAT WAS WHAT'S WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH THE DELAY IN THE REQUESTING THE PERMITS? I WAS WAITING ON MY CONTRACTOR. OKAY. BUT THE APPLICATION CAN BE APPLIED FOR TODAY.

I'D PREFER TO JUST DO THIS NOW. AND. BUT THE WORK IS ALREADY STARTED.

CORRECT? OKAY. AND YET YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO DO ANY WORK BEFORE THE PERMITS ACTUALLY START?

[00:05:07]

OKAY. OKAY. DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO A 30 DAY EXTENSION? OKAY. SO SO I'LL GRANT YOU A 30 DAY EXTENSION TO TO GET THE PERMIT, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING TO APPLY FOR IT TODAY SO THAT YOU USE EVERY BIT OF THAT 30, 30 DAYS. YES. SO. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OH. OH, YEAH. SO THE DATA COMPLIANCE WILL BE MAY 9TH, 2025.

AND THEN IT'LL BE $50 A DAY FINE FOR EVERY DAY AFTER THAT THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

THANKS. OUR NEXT CASE FOR BUILDING CODE IS CB 2585225 AT 1261 PLATT AVENUE, SOUTHWEST. THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT HERE.

THE OWNER IS NOT PRESENT. OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON.

SCOTT STAFFORD, DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL. THIS PERMIT WE CONSIDER FOR OUR CHAPTER ONE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 105.4 .1.1 TO BE ABANDONED. SO AT THIS TIME PER SECTION 105.5, WE WOULD REQUEST TO GIVE 60 DAYS TO REMOVE ALL CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL, INCLUDING PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED MATERIAL. IF AT THE END OF 60 DAYS, MATERIAL HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED, THAT WE WOULD GO AHEAD AND REMOVE IT OURSELVES AT OUR COST AND THEN REQUEST A LIEN FOR THE PROPERTY.

OKAY. CAN I SEE THE FOLDER, PLEASE.

OKAY. JUST GOT SOME QUESTIONS WITH THE FORM OF THE NOTICE.

SO ON THE STATEMENT OF VIOLATION ON THE FRONT THE RESPONDENT IS CARLA SOTO VIERA.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT TO HER.

IN ORLANDO. BUT THEN THIS AFFIDAVIT OF POSTED NOTICE.

AM I LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT CASES BECAUSE THIS ONE, THE RESPONDENT IS 99 INVESTMENTS INC.

THIS LOOKS LIKE THE SAME PROPERTY BUT TWO DIFFERENT OWNERS.

99 INVESTMENTS, INC. IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

THE RA WOULD BE CARLA, THE REGISTERED AGENT. OH, OKAY.

SO WHAT? OKAY, OKAY, I GOT YOU.

SO WHEN YOU SAY TO REMOVE ALL PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED MATERIALS, ARE YOU ASKING TO REMOVE THIS HOUSE THAT'S BEEN CONSTRUCTED AS WELL OR.

YES. WE CONSIDER THAT TO BE PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED BECAUSE IT'S NEVER MADE IT TO FINAL.

AND THERE IS NO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR THIS PROPERTY.

OKAY.

RIGHT. NOW, JUST ANOTHER QUESTION. THIS ORDINANCE 185 .184.

WHEN I WAS REVIEWING THIS, I DIDN'T SEE I DIDN'T SEE THAT ORDINANCE IS THERE? HAS THAT CHANGED THE NUMBER? THE ORDINANCE NUMBER? I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS. I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT, THOUGH.

OKAY. RODNEY, THE 185. THAT'S. THAT'S NO LONGER THE ORDINANCE, RIGHT?

[00:10:02]

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DENY THIS BECAUSE THE WRONG ORDINANCE IS SHOWN ON THE ON THE STATEMENT OF VIOLATION AND THE NOTICE.

I THINK THE CITY COULD BE IN A WORLD OF HURT IF THEY TEAR DOWN A TEAR DOWN A BUILDING.

BECAUSE THE THE WRONG ORDINANCE WAS WAS NOTICED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

I MEAN, IT'S PROBABLY I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S IT WAS THE RIGHT, THE RIGHT ORDINANCE.

AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE STILL EXACTLY THE SAME, IT'S 74 AN HOUR, NOT 185.

SO WE BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REDO THE NOTICE BEFORE I WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE AUTHORITY TO, TO GRANT TO, TO GRANT THAT. SO YEAH, IF YOU COULD JUST RESEND IT WITH THE, WITH THE CORRECT STATUTE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO CODE COMPLIANCE REPORTS, AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES.

[REPORTS (Part 1 of 2)]

LETICIA. WHAT WAS THE CASE NUMBER AGAIN? 2537424.

YES. THAT'S YOUR. RIGHT.

WHAT'S THE ADDRESS? IT'S FOR 1392 SCHNEIDER STREET SOUTHWEST ON THE AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES. WHAT IS YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY? THE VIOLATIONS THAT STILL EXIST ON THE PROPERTY.

TALL GRASS AND WEEDS. OKAY. IS THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE? OKAY. ARE YOU TIM SCHNEIDER? THANK YOU.

HI. HELLO. HELLO, SIR. IF YOU'D PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

TIMOTHY BUSH, 1392 SCHNEIDER STREET, SOUTHWEST PALM BAY.

32908. OKAY. SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN CITED FOR TALL GRASS AND WEEDS.

YES, SIR. THE. THE REINSPECTION WAS IN FEBRUARY.

AND DO YOU DO YOU DIDN'T PASS, SO. YEAH. WELL, I I'VE SINCE BEEN USING A WEED EATER TO TRY TO MOW IT DOWN MYSELF.

I HAD A BACK OPERATION RECENTLY AND WHICH STOPPED ME FROM FINISHING IT OUT.

I CLEANED OUT MOST OF MY DRIVEWAY, HAD CONSTRUCTION STUFF THAT I WAS DOING, MY FLOORING.

NOT REALLY CONSTRUCTION, JUST REPAIRING MY FLOOR.

SO THAT'S STILL THERE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH GONE FROM THE DRIVEWAY.

AND THE GRASS JUST GREW BACK BY THE TIME I COULD GET BACK OUT THERE AND TRY TO.

MY LAWNMOWER DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT.

I'M ON A FIXED INCOME, AND AND I'M SORT OF CRIPPLED NOW, SO I WAS DOING THE BEST I COULD WITH THE WEED EATER.

IT'S SORT OF A TASK FOR ME TO DO IT. YEAH. I HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO HELP ME.

MY WIFE'S DISABLED AND MY SON'S NO LONGER LIVES WITH US, SO.

HOW LARGE IS YOUR PROPERTY? IT'S 0.52 ACRES. IT'S A LOT FOR A WEED WHACKER.

YEAH, A LOT FOR A WEED EATER. I TRIED TO FIX THE LAWN MOWER.

IT JUST KEEPS BREAKING. $50 BELTS, ONE AFTER ANOTHER.

I JUST COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANY MORE BELTS, SO I THOUGHT I'D TRY WITH THE WEED EATER AND GOT PART OF IT DONE.

I JUST NEED TO KEEP GOING WITH THAT. IF I COULD JUST KEEP GOING.

I CAN. I CAN GET IT FINISHED. OKAY. I KNOW IT'S TAKING TIME.

LIKE I SAID, I CAN BARELY WALK HALF THE TIME.

SO I'VE HAD BACK OPERATIONS AND STUFF. I COULD SHOW YOU SOME DOCTOR STUFF IF YOU NEED IT.

NO, THAT'S. THAT'S OKAY, I CAN. I'LL ACCEPT YOUR TESTIMONY ON THAT.

THE PROBLEM IS, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE'VE GOT A PLAN TO EVER COME INTO COMPLIANCE,

[00:15:02]

WELL, IT IT HAS THIS RECENTLY, THIS PAST WEEK OR SO WITH THE RAIN, IT STARTED GROWING BACK AGAIN.

BUT I DID GET HALF THE FRONT DONE WITH THE WEED EATER.

SO. AND THE SIDE LOT DOESN'T HAVE IT'S A SIDE LOT EMPTY.

OKAY. THE TREES AND STUFF. SO THAT ONE REALLY DOESN'T COUNT.

SO IT'S JUST A VACANT LOT. BUT AROUND THE HOUSE, I PULLED A LOT OF IT BY HAND AND USED THE WEED EATER, SO I MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS. OKAY. AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP YOU OUT.

ANY NEIGHBORS? NEIGHBORS ARE WORSE OFF THAN I AM.

SO HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO HELP ME, BUT HE JUST HAD BACK OPERATIONS AS WELL.

OKAY. IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW, MY NEIGHBORS SORT OF MORE CRIPPLED THAN I AM, SO.

AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE, BUT I FIGURED WHEN I GET MY SOCIAL SECURITY, I ONLY GET FOR 66.

I THINK IT WENT UP TO 480 A MONTH, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH GONE BEFORE I GET IT.

BUT I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO GET ANOTHER BELT AND TRY TO DO THE RIDING LAWN MOWER AGAIN.

OKAY. BECAUSE I WHACKED A LOT OF IT DOWN. I THINK I CAN MOW IT WITH THE MOWER NOW IF I THE BELT WILL STAY ON.

AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS WILL TAKE? HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? I CAN PROBABLY HAVE IT DONE WITH A WEED EATER IN A WEEK, IF I CAN JUST KEEP GOING WITH IT.

OKAY. DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO A ONE WEEK EXTENSION FOR COMPLIANCE.

I MEAN, I I'M SO SORRY. HELLO? NO, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOING A WEEK EXTENSION, BUT I HE'S HE'S BEEN GIVEN MULTIPLE EXTENSIONS BEFORE.

AND EVERY TIME WHEN THE TIME COMES UP IT'S MORE EXTENSION.

SO IF HE CAN HAVE IT DONE WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME, I'M FINE WITH IT.

BUT IF NOT, THEN NO MORE EXTENSIONS AFTER THAT.

ALL RIGHT. AND IS THE CITY ASKING FOR A FLAT FINE AND THE ABILITY TO JUST A $50 A DAY? OKAY. OKAY.

YEAH, I THINK. ONE WEEK WAS THE. AND THIS WILL BE THIS WILL HAVE TO BE THE LAST THE LAST EXTENSION BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE BACK OPERATION PUT ME BACK A LOT. I UNDERSTAND, BUT, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND ANYTHING MORE THAN A WEEK AND, YOU KNOW, THE GRASS IS GOING TO GROW FASTER THAN YOU CAN CUT IT, SO. RIGHT. APRIL 16TH WILL BE THE DATE OF COMPLIANCE, AND THEN $50 A DAY AFTER THAT FOR EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OUR NEXT CASE ON THE AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES IS CB 2563925 AT 1575 WILTSHIRE STREET SOUTHEAST.

THE CODE OFFICER IS PHILLIP CLENDENIN.

PHILIP CLENDENIN, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITH CITY OF PALM BAY.

ONE OF THE VIOLATIONS STILL EXISTS. PARKING TRAILERS ON THE VACANT LOT.

THE RESPONDENT IS HERE, AND SHE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

SHE'S ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION. OKAY. CAN I HAVE THE FOLDER, PLEASE? YES, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON.

I DO OWN THE VACANT LOT ON THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE.

CAN YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD FIRST? OH. PATSY ROSALES. OKAY.

SO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON. TELL ME TELL ME WHAT? OH, YES. I I HAVE A TRAILER PARKED ON THE EMPTY LOT.

AND ANOTHER TRAILER. UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE TIME AT THE HOUSE WAS BUILT.

IT'S A DRAINED FIELD BACK THERE. THE TRAILER IS LIKE MY SHED WITH HOUSEHOLD THINGS INSIDE.

I COULDN'T PUT IT ON THE DRAIN FREELY. IT TOOK THE ENTIRE BACK.

I DO PLAN ON GETTING THE LOTS MARRIED, BUT THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE ON THE DEED OF THE HOUSE THAT WANTS OUT, SO I HAVE TO. I'M WORKING WITH AN ATTORNEY TO GET THE NAME OF THIS PERSON, WHICH IS MY NEPHEW WHO LIVES AND RESIDES IN NEW YORK.

SO I AM ASKING THE COURT FOR MORE TIME TO GET THIS SITUATION SITUATED.

[00:20:02]

IT'S VERY HEAVY. OKAY. HAVE YOU CALLED ANYONE TO, LIKE A SERVICE TO COME AND MOVE THE TRAILER AND MOVE IT AND PUT IT WHERE I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PUT IT.

WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S. I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF I MEAN, I GUESS THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CITY'S PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW, YOU PUT WHEREVER YOU CAN PUT IT. I CAN'T PUT IT ON THE SITE.

THE HOUSE IS A SLANT BECAUSE IT'S I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE TRAILER.

OKAY. IF I HAD A PLACE TO PUT IT, I WOULD. IT IT CANNOT GO TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

THERE'S, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A DRAIN FIELD THERE.

SO YOU CAN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON THE DRAIN FIELD.

OKAY. SO I NEED TIME TO MARRY THE LOTS AND REMOVE.

WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. I NEED TO HEAR FROM THE CITY FOR A SECOND.

WILL THAT IF SHE WAS ABLE TO COMBINE THE TWO LOTS.

IS THAT. THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, DOES IT? IT DOES.

IT DOES, IT DOES. OKAY. SO BASICALLY WHAT SHE'S SHE SHE'S HER NEPHEW IS ON THE DEED TO THE HOUSE TO MARRY THE LOTS.

HE HAS TO BE OFF OF IT. SO SHE HAS AN ATTORNEY RIGHT NOW DEALING WITH THAT BECAUSE I GUESS THERE'S LIKE A PAYOUT.

SHE HAS TO PAY THIS, PAY HIM OUT JUST TO GET HIM OFF THE DEED AND THIS AND THAT, SO SHE CAN MARRY THE PROPERTIES.

ONCE SHE DOES, THEN YES, SHE CAN PARK THEM ON THE ON THE LOT.

OKAY. SO I MEAN WHERE SHE HAS THEM RIGHT NOW, IF, IF THE PROPERTIES ARE MARRIED TOGETHER, THEN THAT'S NO PROBLEM. OKAY. OKAY. SO DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO TAKE AT THIS PRESENT TIME? NO I DON'T. IT COULD IT COULD TAKE AT LEAST UP TO SIX.

OH, UP TO SIX MONTHS TO FINALIZE EVERYTHING. OKAY.

SIX MONTHS. SEEMS LIKE A SIX MONTH. MONTHS. SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME.

YEAH. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU GOT TO WORK TO GET THOSE FINANCES, AND IT HAS TO BE SUBMITTED.

IT HAS TO BE AGREED UPON. IT'S IT'S, YOU KNOW.

OKAY. AND WHAT ABOUT THIS? THIS OTHER VIOLATION? IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT AN ICE CREAM TRUCK THAT WAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

OH. TWO TRAILERS. SO BASICALLY, IT HAS ICE CREAM.

IT'S LIKE A LIKE A PULL BEHIND TRAILER, LIKE A CARGO TYPE TRAILER.

IT HAS ICE CREAM ON THE SIDE. IT'S LIKE YOU SELL ICE CREAM OR DO ICE CREAM? ICE CREAM SMOOTHIES. SO IT'S BASICALLY TWO, TWO UTILITY TRAILERS ON THE PROPERTY.

OKAY, SO THERE'S A WHITE ONE THAT SHE KEEPS ALL OF HER FURNITURE AND STUFF IN, I GUESS, OR SOME STUFF ON THE HOUSE.

AND THEN THEN THE ACTUAL ICE CREAM TRAILER. OKAY.

SO ALL RIGHT. SO, SO, SAY, DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE.

AND THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A LONG. THAT'S A LONG TIME.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THE LEGAL PROCESS WORKS.

I MEAN, SIX MONTHS DOES SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME.

MAYBE. 60. OKAY. NOW, CAN SHE COME BACK AFTER 60? AND IF SHE NEEDS TO. SO. OKAY. THAT MIGHT BE AN OPTION.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK I LIKE THAT OPTION A LITTLE BETTER. OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A 60 DAY EXTENSION AND THEN AT THE END OF THE IF YOU'RE NOT DONE IN 60 DAYS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY APPEAR, AND WE CAN DISCUSS WITH HIM HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE AND WHAT WE'LL NEED TO DO TO DO ANOTHER EXTENSION.

OKAY. OKAY. SO LET'S SEE. WHERE'S. DID I PUT MY CALCULATOR THING? I MUST HAVE PUT IT IN ONE OF THE OTHER FOLDERS WHEN I TURNED IT IN.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO THE DATA COMPLIANCE WOULD BE JUNE 8TH, 2025.

AND EVERY DAY AFTER THAT, THAT IS THE PROPERTY IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WILL BE A $50 A DAY FINE.

YEAH. JUNE 8TH. PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME.

OKAY. SO WHEN I TALK TO THE GUY OVER AT THE GARBAGE WINDOW, HE SAID IF I PAID HALF, THEN I CAN GET MY GARBAGE CANS BACK AND THAT I WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE. AND THEN I GOT A LETTER FROM THEM.

OKAY. SO DID YOU GET YOUR GARBAGE CANS BACK? NO.

THAT MUCH OF A BILL. YEAH. OKAY. AND SO YOU SAID YOU HAD $1,300.

IT WAS ALMOST 14. IT WAS LIKE 1390 OR SOMETHING.

AND I'M DOWN TO A LITTLE UNDER A THOUSAND IN LIKE TWO MONTHS.

OKAY. I JUST PAID HIM ANOTHER 140 LAST NIGHT.

OKAY. AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE REST OF THAT PAYMENT IN? WELL, RIGHT NOW, MY HOUSE IS IN A UP FOR AUCTION ON MAY 7TH, SO IF I COULD HAVE THAT AFTER THAT TO FIGURE IT OUT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. HOW HOW LONG WILL THEY FOR THE SCHEDULE THAT YOU HAVE? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? FOR THIS BALANCE, WHAT I CAN DO FOR THEM IS I CAN STRETCH IT OUT FOR MAYBE SIX MONTHS FOR THEM.

OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB 2580225. THIS IS AT 577 MACON STREET SOUTHWEST.

LETITIA DEAN, CODE COMPLIANCE. THE VIOLATIONS THAT STILL EXIST ON THE PROPERTY ARE LARGE VEHICLE PARKING, THE DUMP TRUCKS, AND ON BOTH ADJACENT PROPERTIES, THE RIGHT OF WAY.

ILLEGAL USE. ILLEGAL DRIVEWAYS ON THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES.

OKAY. THE HOMEOWNER IS NOT HERE. SHE WAS HERE, BUT SHE'S REQUESTING A THREE MONTH EXTENSION TO APPLY FOR THE DRIVEWAY APRONS FOR EACH SIDE. AND SHE'S ALREADY MARRIED. THE PROPERTIES. OKAY.

SO ANY REASON DID SHE SAY WHY SHE COULDN'T BE HERE? OKAY. OKAY. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S BEEN SOME PROGRESS MADE. YES. SHE WAS ABLE TO MARRY THE TWO ADJACENT LOTS ON HER PROPERTY.

AND ONCE SHE MARRIES THE LOTS, SHE'S CURRENTLY AWAITING AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SURVEY.

BECAUSE SHE HAS TO HAVE THE SURVEY BEFORE SHE APPLIES FOR THE PERMIT.

OKAY. HAS THERE BEEN ANY EFFORT TO MOVE THE DUMP TRUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE? YES. SHE SAID THEY. SHE MOVED THE DUMP TRUCKS.

I HAVE TO GO AND REINSPECT THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. AND I THINK THE PROPERTY OWNER IS HERE.

NO, SIR. IF YOU'D LIKE TO, PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

HELLO. MY NAME IS HAZEL, AND I LIVE IN 1914 JUPITER BOULEVARD SOUTHWEST.

I MADE A WOODEN DRIVEWAY, A LITTLE APRON, SO TO SAY.

IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD BEING AT A SIX BY SIX WOODS.

I HAD MAILED EMAILED GINA KUHN REGARDING THIS AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IT'S AGAINST ORDINANCE 179093.

AND IN ORDINANCE 179093, IT SAYS ANY IMPROVEMENT REQUIRING A PERMANENT FOUNDATION OR CANNOT BE READILY REMOVED SHALL BE DECLARED UNLAWFUL.

BUT I FIGURED SINCE IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD, IT CAN BE READILY REMOVED.

AND IT'S NOT BLOCKING THE SWALE EITHER, SINCE IT'S 40IN WIDE ACROSS THE SWALE AND TEN INCHES TALL, SO IT'S NOT IMPEDING THE FLOW OF THE SWALE OF THE WATER EITHER. AND IT'S NOT TOUCHING THE SIDEWALK.

OKAY. YOU WERE YOU WEREN'T CITED FOR 179073, THOUGH.

YOU WERE CITED FOR 179076. BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY EMAILED ME.

WELL, I KNOW, BUT WHAT WHAT I'M CONCERNED WITH IS WHAT'S ON THE STATEMENT OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION THAT YOU WERE GIVEN.

OKAY. SO I, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A WOODEN DRIVEWAY WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS.

IF YOU WOULD CAN YOU OR DO WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT CAN TALK TALK TO THIS SOME.

STEVE EVANS, ENGINEERING INSPECTOR. OKAY. CAN YOU TEACH ME ABOUT WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO? 1 OR 2 THINGS COMPLETELY REMOVE. THERE YOU GO.

I'LL SHOW YOU THE PICTURE. I THINK I'VE GOT THE.

YEAH, I'VE GOT THAT PICTURE. YEAH. COMPLETELY REMOVE THE WOOD THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE AND OR APPLY FOR A DRIVEWAY PERMIT. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT HE'S DOING IS DRIVING OVER THE SIDEWALK.

WHICH SIDEWALKS? NOT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC RATED.

IT'S SIDEWALK. PRETTY MUCH PEDESTRIAN. RIGHT.

SO 1 OR 2 THINGS. HE NEEDS TO EITHER GET A DRIVEWAY PERMIT WITH A CULVERT PIPE, DRIVEWAY APRON.

ARE THESE ARE THESE COMPLETELY REMOVED AND THESE WOODEN POSTS, OR ARE THEY.

THEY'RE IMPEDING THE FLOW OF THE WATER IN THE SWALE.

IF OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT CAME THROUGH, PARDON ME TO TRENCH OR DO ANYTHING RELATED TO THE SWALE, IT WOULD BE. YES. OKAY. SO IS THIS THE THE PICTURE IN YOUR HAND? THERE WAS JUST THE WOODEN BOARDS. IS THAT ALL THAT'S IN THERE? RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW? YES. OKAY. SO THAT SHOULD BE.

THAT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO REMOVE, RIGHT? I CAN REMOVE IT.

I JUST NEED SOMEBODY TO HELP BECAUSE THEY'RE PRETTY HEAVY. THOSE BEAMS ARE PRETTY HEAVY. I JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS IMPEDING THE FLOW OF THE SWALE, SINCE THAT'S WHAT MY MAIN CONCERN WAS. WELL THAT'S JUST THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT POPPED UP INTO MY HEAD.

BUT, I MEAN, THE THE REAL ISSUE IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE CREATED A DRIVEWAY WHEN YOU NEED A PERMIT TO CREATE A DRIVEWAY.

COULD I APPLY FOR THAT PERMIT? BECAUSE I GOT DENIED A FEW TIMES ALREADY.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF, YOU KNOW, IF I CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU'D BE APPROVED FOR THE PERMIT.

BECAUSE I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT THE PERMITS DEPARTMENT.

BUT YOU CAN BRING YOURSELF INTO COMPLIANCE BY REMOVING THE WOOD AT THIS TIME.

CAN THAT BE MADE OUT OF THE WOOD? I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, MORE THAN ENOUGH.

WAIT. A SIX BY SIX BEAM CAN HOLD OVER 20,000 POUNDS.

JUST ONE. AND THERE'S SIX OF THEM, RIGHT? I'M NOT AN ENGINEER OR A PERMIT GUY, SO I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY WILL ALLOW IT. WOULDN'T.

WOULDN'T DRIVEWAY. BUT WE WOULD. YEAH, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IT NEEDS TO BE.

IT NEEDS TO GO THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS, AND YOU CAN BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE JUST BY REMOVING THOSE WOODEN, THE WOODEN BOARDS. AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A WOODEN DRIVEWAY YOU KNOW, THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND THE CITY WHEN, WHEN IT'S PERMIT TIME, I DON'T I CAN'T MAKE ANY PROMISES ABOUT THAT.

EXCUSE ME, DENNIS, BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THIS GENTLEMAN ON SITE.

THE 17903. THAT'S WHAT THEY QUOTED HIM WHEN HE APPLIED FOR THE PERMIT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEET THAT SECTION.

WE CITED HIM FOR CROSSING OVER RIGHT OF WAY AND BLOCKING THE RIGHT OF WAY.

HE'S NEVER GOING TO GET A PERMIT FOR A WOODEN BRIDGE OVER THE RIGHT OF WAY, BECAUSE THE APRON MUST COME OUT AND TOUCH THE ROAD AND YOU MUST DRIVE.

[00:45:08]

HE HAS APPLIED TWICE, AND HE'S BEEN DENIED TWICE BECAUSE IT WAS.

BECAUSE HE WAS. BECAUSE IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD AND BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COME OUT TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD IN CONCRETE.

AND HE DOES NEED TO HAVE A CULVERT PIPE. SO HE'S BEEN TOLD THIS TWICE BY BOTH JOANNE AGUILAR AND GINA KUHN.

AND I SPOKE TO HIM AND EXPLAINED IT WENT OUT THERE, SHOWED HIM THAT, YES, YOU'RE THERE, BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS HE'S IN OUR RIGHT OF WAY.

SO EVEN WHEN A CAR IS DRIVE OVER, IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES, THE WOOD IS PUSHING DOWN INTO THE GRASS.

IT'S DESTROYING THE SWALE, WHICH GOES FROM THE TOP OF THE SWALE TO THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK.

GOTCHA. SO THE ONLY WAY HE COULD DO THIS IS IF HE'S GOING TO PUT IN A COMPLETE APRON.

WHAT HE DOES ON HIS PROPERTY AFTER THE APRON IS COMPLETELY UP TO HIM IF HE WANTS TO DRIVE ON THE GRASS.

BUT. AND THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO CODES. ONE WAS A REJECTION FOR THE PERMIT.

THE OTHER IS WHAT WE CITED FOR FOR ACTUALLY VIOLATING THE RIGHT OF WAY.

OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO THE ONLY ISSUE LEFT IS JUST HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO REMOVE THE WOOD? THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I COULD JUST I WOULD JUST HAVE TO FIND SOMEBODY TO HELP ME REMOVE IT.

OKAY. ONE WEAK ENOUGH. THAT'S FINE. OKAY. SO WE'LL SET THE DATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR APRIL 16TH, 2025, AND THEN IT'LL BE $50 A DAY AFTER THAT THAT THE PROPERTY IS.

THANK YOU. NO LONGER IN COMPLIANCE. THANKS.

OUR NEXT CASE IS CV 581225 AT 425 SARAH GASS AVENUE, SOUTHWEST.

OKAY. SO I WON'T LET IT GATHER UP THERE AGAIN.

BUT THERE WAS A VARIETY OF THINGS, AND THEY SAID, I NEED TO GET A DUMPSTER.

AND I ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND MILITARY RETIREMENT.

SO. AND I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO. WELL, I MEAN, AS LONG AS THE THE PROPERTY IS IN COMPLIANCE. YEAH. YOU'RE SHAKING YOUR HEAD, THOUGH.

YEAH. SO I WENT BY THERE TODAY. THE AREA THAT HE'S SHOWING.

YES. THERE IS NO TRASH. THERE IT IS NOW. GOING ON THE NEXT LOT AND IT'S UP AGAINST THE HOUSE, SO IT IS NOT ALL CLEARED OUT. IT'S JUST CLOSER TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

I GOT A LOT OF SLATS AND THINGS LAYING UP AGAINST THE FENCE THERE.

OKAY, I'M TRYING TO GET THE FENCE. I HAD TWO SURGERIES LAST YEAR.

I'M 82 YEARS OLD AND AND I CAN'T GET TO DO A LOT WELL.

AND THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT PREVIOUSLY IN NOVEMBER, PUBLIC WORKS CLEARED THE LOT PREVIOUSLY AND THEY STARTED ACCUMULATING MORE TRASH THERE.

[00:50:08]

OKAY, I WILL I'M SURE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SO.

OKAY. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING THE PROPERTY IS IN COMPLIANCE.

THE CITY'S TESTIMONY IS THAT IT'S NOT YET IN COMPLIANCE, AND IT'S ALSO HAS ACTIVE LIENS FOR TRASH AND DEBRIS AND SHEDS AND OTHER THINGS ON THE PROPERTY. THERE'S CURRENT OPEN LIENS FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

SIMILAR ISSUES. OKAY. WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OPENLY? OKAY. YEAH. THE OPEN LIEN MEANS THAT YOUR THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN FOUND IN VIOLATION OF THIS BEFORE, AND THERE'S THE FINE HAS BEEN ATTACHED, AND THERE'S ALREADY A LIEN PLACED ON THAT FOR THAT.

FINE. IT WAS PICKED UP BEFORE, AND I HAD STUFF OUT THERE, BUT THIS TIME I NEEDED A DUMPSTER AND THAT I GOT I FINALLY GOT IT ALL.

ALL CLEARED, EXCEPT I GOT THE STUFF UP AROUND MY FENCE YET, BUT.

OKAY. ALONG THE ROAD. THERE'S NOTHING DOWN THERE.

SO HOW LONG? HOW LONG WILL YOU NEED TO TO FINISH BRINGING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE? I PROBABLY HAVE IT DONE IN A MONTH. EVERYTHING OKAY? MAYBE SOONER, BUT I HAVE TO GET HELP TO DO IT.

SO I. WHATEVER AREA THAT I NEED TO REMOVE, I CAN GET REMOVED.

IT JUST. CAN YOU. I THOUGHT THE PILE OF GARBAGE WAS THE MAIN, MAIN ISSUE WAS THE PILE OF GARBAGE THAT WAS THERE.

OKAY. GOT RID OF THAT. IS THERE DO YOU HAVE ANY RESOURCES TO GET IT DONE FASTER THAN A MONTH? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS NOW. I GET SOME OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE I HELP TO GO AND HELP ME GET IT OUT AND MOVE IT. I HAVE SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE I'VE HELPED OUT, SO THEY'LL HELP ME OUT. COULD THEY? DO YOU THINK THEY COULD GET IT DONE IN TWO WEEKS? YEAH. I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT I NEED TO REMOVE.

THAT'S ALL. OKAY. OKAY. I'LL GET IT. YEAH, I'LL DO IT.

OKAY, THEN GO AHEAD. OKAY. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON. OKAY. SO BASICALLY A LITTLE WHILE AGO, THERE WAS, LIKE, A CRACK ON ONE SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY.

AND BEFORE WE KNEW THAT YOU HAD TO GET A PERMIT TO FIX IT, SHE GOT SOMEONE TO FIX THAT SIDE.

BUT THEN MONTHS LATER, LIKE, ANOTHER ONE WAS FORMING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

AND SO BASICALLY, LIKE IT ENDED UP GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.

AND THE PEOPLE THAT SHE HAS SPOKEN TO THROUGHOUT THE TIME TOLD HER THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH LIKE A ROOT OF A TREE THAT WAS UNDERNEATH.

AND THEN SHE HAD GOTTEN THE TREE CUT DOWN AND IT STILL LIKE THEIR ROOTS ARE THERE.

SO IT WAS STILL CAUSING THE ISSUE. AND ALSO BEFORE SHE FOUND OUT YOU HAD TO GET A PERMIT TO FIX IT, SHE GOT LIKE, QUOTED FOR DIFFERENT PRICES, WHICH SHE COULDN'T AFFORD.

SO WE DIDN'T GET IT FIXED. AND THEN LATER IT STARTED GETTING WORSE.

AND SO SHE, SOMEONE TOLD HER THAT SHE HAD TO CALL THE CITY OF PALM BAY OR WHATEVER, AND SHE CALLED THEM.

AND THEN THAT'S WHEN WE GOT, LIKE, THE THAT'S WHEN YOU GOT THE CODE VIOLATION.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO HOW MUCH WAS THE QUOTE FOR GETTING IT FIXED? ONE OF THEM TOLD HER LIKE 15,000. I MEAN, IT IS REALLY BAD, BUT THAT'S STILL A LOT OF MONEY.

OH, YEAH. NO, IT'S I. I DON'T LIKE THESE. CULVERT CASES ARE TOUGH BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

BUT IT'S ALSO. I MEAN, WE GOT TO. WE WE DO HAVE TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE.

SO HOW LONG? HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE RESOURCES TOGETHER TO TO PAY.

TO PAY FOR THIS? I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE MY MOM IS NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S LIKE ME AND MY YOUNGER SISTER THAT ARE, LIKE, WORKING, BUT WE WORK PART TIME, SO I DON'T THINK THAT.

I DON'T KNOW, ACTUALLY. I JUST DON'T KNOW 15,000.

SOUNDS LIKE A LOT RIGHT NOW FOR ME TO EVEN, LIKE, IMAGINE A TIME WHEN I'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.

BUT WE WERE JUST WE WERE WONDERING IF THERE IS, LIKE, ANYTHING LIKE WE CAN APPLY FOR TO, LIKE, GET ASSISTANCE OR ANYTHING WITH FIXING IT. I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY SORT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THAT YOU'D HAVE TO TALK WITH THE SOMEONE AT THE CITY ABOUT THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO.

I JUST WANT THE PROPERTY BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION, YOU KNOW, MORE DIFFICULT IN DOING THAT. SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GIVING YOU A LONG EXTENSION TO GET THE FUNDS TOGETHER.

WE JUST NEED TO HAVE. I NEED TO KNOW THERE'S SOME KIND OF PLAN.

YOU'VE GOT QUOTES ALREADY, SO THAT'S GOOD. WE'VE GOT TO START THERE. BUT YEAH.

SO I JUST NEED TO KNOW, LIKE WHEN YOU THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, TO GET THE PROJECT STARTED.

[01:00:02]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. WELL, 15,000 IS EXTREMELY HIGH, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WENT TO.

THAT'S A HIGH QUOTE. USUALLY THEY RUN BETWEEN 5 AND 7000.

IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO. AFTER THE MEETING, STEVE CAN PROVIDE HER WITH A LIST OF THE MOST COMMON CONTRACTORS THAT APPLY FOR THESE PERMITS.

AND THEN SHE CAN GET QUOTES FROM THEM. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT 15,000 IS VERY, VERY HIGH FOR A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WITH A PIPE.

OKAY. SHE COULD PROBABLY HALF THAT. AND THEN IT'S STILL PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE HER A GOOD 90 TO 120 DAYS.

I WOULD IMAGINE, TO COME UP WITH THAT AND THEN GET THE PERMIT AND STUFF AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT WE CAN WE CAN LOWER THAT 15,000. OKAY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE CONTRACTORS AROUND HERE BECAUSE I KEEP THAT $15,000 NUMBER COMES UP A LOT.

YEAH. I HAVE A COUPLE THAT ARE DOING THAT. THEY'RE DOING 15 TO 20, BUT THAT'S EXTREMELY HIGH FOR THE APRON AND THE CULVERT.

SO ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THAT WE CAN HELP HER THAT WAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. LET'S DO THIS. I'LL GIVE YOU A SIX MONTH EXTENSION FOR NOW.

THIS WAY YOU CAN FIND YOU CAN FIND A BETTER QUOTE.

YOU CAN WORK WITH THE CITY TO TO FIND CONTRACTORS THAT WILL DO THAT FOR YOU.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET SOMETHING BETTER THAN MORE LIKE 5 OR 7 AND IN SIX MONTHS ON IN OCTOBER, IF WE'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS AND YOU NEED MORE TIME BECAUSE YOU'VE HIRED THE CONTRACTOR AND, YOU KNOW, THEY TAKES 90 TO 120 DAYS TO DO THE PROJECT OR GET THE PERMITS, THEN WE CAN WE CAN WORK ON ANOTHER EXTENSION FOR THERE FROM THAT.

HOW DOES THAT SOUND? OKAY. SO JUST SIX MONTHS TO START AND THEN WITHIN THAT TIME WE JUST HAVE TO GET A PERMIT AND FIND SOMEONE TO FIX IT.

WELL, I MEAN, IDEALLY WITH, WITH AN EXTENSION, IT SHOULD BE DONE IN OCTOBER.

BUT MY GENERAL POLICY IS IF PEOPLE ARE WORKING TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE, THEN I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM FOR EXTENSIONS.

SO IF YOU'VE IF YOU'VE MADE PROGRESS AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PLAN TO CONTINUE MAKING PROGRESS.

THEN ANOTHER EXTENSION. I WON'T, I WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GIVING YOU.

THEY WERE HERE LAST MONTH. THEY WERE FOUND IN VIOLATION.

HOWEVER, THE COMPLIANCE DATE WAS USED FROM THE STATEMENT DATE.

SO BASICALLY, WE JUST NEED A NEW COMPLIANCE DATE.

HERE YOU GO. VALERIE, CODE COMPLIANCE DIVISION MANAGER.

JEANNIE, AS SHE STATED, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE REISSUED.

A NEW COMPLIANCE DATE. AND ALSO, MR. AGUIRRE IS HERE, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT HIS CASES.

I ALSO HAVE ALTHEA FROM GROWTH MANAGEMENT, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, TO SPEAK.

AND I HAVE SOMEBODY COMING FROM UTILITIES THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE SOME TESTIMONY AS WELL.

OKAY. WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THIS EARLIER, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A A FAIRLY OLD CASE.

IT'S BEEN A. YES. THIS THIS THE VIOLATIONS HAVE GONE ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

OKAY. WHEN WERE THEY FIRST CITED? IT'S BEEN OVER FOR ON THESE CASES OR JUST IN GENERAL.

NO, NO, JUST JUST THE CASES THAT ARE BEFORE US.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL THE SAME DATE. FEBRUARY.

FEBRUARY 10TH IS WHEN THESE NEW CASES ALL STARTED.

WE HAD TO CLOSE THE PREVIOUS CASES BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN OPEN FOR, LIKE, THREE YEARS.

KIND OF ON HOLD. AND WHICH ONE IS THIS? 65. 81.

OKAY. SO IT'S THE SAME VIOLATION. JUST A DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT CASE NUMBER.

YES. OKAY. THREE DIFFERENT ADDRESSES. ALL SAME ISSUE.

AND WERE THEY WERE OPEN FOR SO LONG? WERE EXTENSIONS GRANTED.

WHAT WAS THE. SO MR. GARY WAS HAVING MEETINGS WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE GROWTH MANAGEMENT.

WE'VE DONE ON SITE VISITS AND STUFF. SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE BACK AND FORTH.

NOTHING WAS REALLY SETTLED DURING THE THREE YEARS, AND IT WAS JUST KIND OF LIKE PUT ON HOLD FOR THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

OF COURSE, AFTER SPEAKING WITH LEGAL, BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN OVER THREE YEARS, WE CLOSED THE CASES AND THEN RECITED.

OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. CAN I HAVE THE FOLDERS, PLEASE? YES.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SIR, IF YOU PLEASE.

IF YOU COME UP, STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. MAGISTRATE. I AM ALFRED GARI FROM 1680 MAIN STREET.

THAT'S NORTHEAST PALM BAY. AS YOU HEARD BEFORE, THESE CASES ARE OVER 20 YEARS AGO.

I GOT SO MUCH PAPERWORK. THIS IS JUST A FRACTION OF WHAT I HAVE ANYWAY.

BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE PROBABLY ANOTHER MONTH FOR US TO GO OVER ALL OF THIS, BUT SO FAR I FIRST WAS SIGHTED ON THIS PROPERTY IN 2005. OKAY. AND WHEN THE FIRST TIME THIS WAS DONE, I HAD MET WITH THE CITY MANAGER AT THAT TIME AND THE THE DIRECTOR OF THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT AND THE ENGINEER FOR THE CITY. THEY REQUESTED FOR ME TO CONTRIBUTE OR DONATE A PART OF MY PROPERTY TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO PUT A LIFT STATION.

I WENT AND DID THAT IN 2009, AND I WAS I WAS PARDONED BY THE CITY MANAGER.

THIS IS LEE FELDMAN. MR. LEE FELDMAN AT THAT TIME.

I EVEN HAVE A PAPERWORK HERE TO SHOW THAT I GOT AN AMNESTY ON MY PROPERTY.

OKAY, WELL, YOU'RE NOT. THAT'S NOT. THAT ISSUE IS NOT BEFORE US TODAY. SO THAT'S WE DON'T NEED THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

[01:15:04]

AND, YOU KNOW, THIS THING OCCURS AGAIN THREE YEARS LATER BECAUSE I PRETTY MUCH HAVING AN INTERVAL OF A THREE EVERY TWO YEARS, 3 TO 4 YEARS, THIS THING COMES UP BECAUSE THE CASE WAS BROUGHT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

MR.. GREG LINK, LEE FELDMAN, MISS SUSAN, AND IT WAS PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE IT WAS A VALID REASON OF AN AMNESTY AND DONATING A PART OF THIS PROPERTY. BUT ANYWAY, TODAY I GOT A VIOLATION AGAIN AFTER THREE YEARS OF HOLDING, AND I SUBMITTED A SITE PLAN AND I GOT A RESPONSE FROM THE SITE PLAN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO THAT WE HAVE A DATE OF THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH TO DO A PRE-OP SITE PLAN PRE-OP MEETING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THESE PROCEDURES TAKE SOME TIME.

AND I'M HERE TODAY ASKING FOR SOME TIME TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS THING FINALLY, AFTER 20 YEARS.

AND THAT'S THE MAIN REASON I'M HERE THIS MORNING.

YOU KNOW, I'M, I GUESS I'M. THIS IS SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ME AND A DISAPPOINTMENT TO KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING THIS THING OCCURRED AFTER I DONATE THIS PROPERTY TO THE CITY TO PUT TO A LIFT STATION.

THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A SITE PLAN TO PARK MY DUMP TRUCKS ON THIS PROPERTY, A SECTION OF THE PLACE.

SO I HAVE THAT SITE PLAN WAS PASSED AND THE CITY DID ALL THIS DEVELOPMENT BACK IN.

I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 2010 OR SOMETHING. 2011.

SO THE CITY ACTUALLY DID A SITE PLAN ON MY PROPERTY AND GIVE ME THE PERMISSION TO PARK MY DUMP TRUCK, BUT I'M IN A TRUCKING BUSINESS AND THIS THING JUST KEEP REOCCURRING AFTER EVERY THREE YEARS, EVERY TIME SOME CITY MANAGER OR OFFICIAL LEAVES OFFICE.

IT CAME RIGHT BACK. AND TO ME IT IS JUST IT IS JUST BAD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM TO BE A REASONABLE PERSON SITTING HERE THIS MORNING AND LISTENING TO YOU AND A CONSCIENTIOUS PERSON IN OUR CITY.

I GUESS WE NEED SOME MORE OF THAT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS THING TO BE COMING BACK.

COMING BACK? THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY. IT IS ZONED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

I'VE BEEN OCCUPYING THIS PROPERTY FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS, 25, 30 YEARS, DOING THE SAME THING THAT I'VE BEEN DOING.

I HAVE SOME PAPERWORK HERE TO SHOW YOU HOW MANY TIMES THE CASES CAME UP AND WAS IN COMPLIANCE AND WAS CLOSED AND STUFF LIKE THIS.

SO IF YOU WISH, SIR, I COULD BRING YOU THIS PAPERWORK. OKAY, I'LL TAKE THE PAPERS.

THANK YOU. FRANK, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME INFORMATION.

AS FAR AS THE TESTIMONY MR. AGUIRRE IS GIVING IN THE FOLDERS.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I NEEDED TIM ROBERTS HERE FROM UTILITIES.

MR. AGUIRRE DID NOT DONATE THE PROPERTY. MR. AGUIRRE WAS PAID FOR THE PROPERTY.

NO, I UNDERSTAND. BUT. SO THE VIOLATION, THE STATEMENT OF VIOLATION.

I'VE GOT COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL.

PRIOR COMMENCEMENT OF CLEARING LANDS WITHOUT.

WITHOUT A PERMIT. USING THE THE PROPERTY AS A STORAGE SITE. CORRECT. SO THESE ARE ALL LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE VIOLATIONS. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR HERE TO GIVE TESTIMONY.

OKAY. WELL, WHAT IS WHAT DOES ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE WITH THE LIFT STATION ISSUE? NOTHING. OKAY. THAT LITTLE PORTION OF WHERE THE LIFT STATION IS IS WHAT THE CITY PURCHASED FOR MR..

AND IT'S LIKE A FENCE AROUND IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS DISCUSSED BACK THEN WITH UTILITIES.

THERE'S EMAILS IN THERE, OBVIOUSLY, THAT FROM BACK THEN THAT TELLS YOU IF MR. TIM ROBERTS IS GOING TO GET HERE SOON, HE COULD PROVIDE YOU MORE INFORMATION.

AND SOMEONE ELSE IS HERE FROM THE CITY. YES. ALTHEA, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.

SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH ALFIE THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS ON THIS PRE-APP AND THE SITE PLANS.

OKAY. MA'AM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO. IF YOU COULD COME UP AND SPEAK, PLEASE.

[01:20:01]

ANY CITATIONS PRIOR TO THIS CASE I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF.

THEY PREDATE MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE CITY. WHAT I CAN SPEAK TO IS THE TIMING OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL, WHICH IS REQUIRED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES AT HAND.

HE IS CORRECT. HE HAS A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING ON APRIL 29TH.

THAT MEETING USUALLY INCLUDES ALL OF THE REVIEW AND COMMENT PROFESSIONALS THAT WILL LOOK AT THE FORMAL SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL TO GIVE HIM SOME GUIDANCE ON HOW TO SUBMIT HIS APPLICATION WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS. AFTER THAT, HE CAN, AT ANY TIME WHEN HE'S READY, SUBMIT SUBMITTED HIS FORMAL SITE PLAN APPLICATION.

NOW THIS WHOLE WE GET INITIALLY 30 DAYS TO REVIEW THAT.

AND THEN THERE'S USUALLY A SECOND ROUND WHERE HE WILL RESUBMIT.

THE LENGTH OF THE PROCESS REALLY DEPENDS ON THE APPLICANT, BECAUSE ONCE THEY RECEIVE OUR COMMENTS AFTER 30 DAYS, IF THEY TURN AROUND AND MAKE ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS AND RESUBMIT FAIRLY QUICKLY, WE HAVE THEN TEN DAYS ON THAT RESUBMITTAL TO REVIEW, NOT ANOTHER 30 DAYS. AND THEN AFTER THAT, IF WE STILL HAVE COMMENTS, WE ORGANIZE WHAT WE CALL A DRC DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING, AND WE USUALLY SCHEDULE THOSE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE BECAUSE IT INVOLVES SEVERAL CITY STAFF AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT AND HIS TEAM. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AVAILABLE FOR THAT MEETING THAT NEEDS TO BE THERE.

AND THERE WE TRY TO RESOLVE ANY INCONSISTENCIES OR QUESTIONS SO THAT THE NEXT SUBMITTAL WILL BE THE FINAL ONE WITH EVERYTHING FIXED.

AND TYPICALLY THAT IS THE CASE. AND THEN WE ISSUE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

SO IT COULD TAKE WITH A VERY RESPONSIVE APPLICANT 3 TO 4 MONTHS TO GET THROUGH SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. AND THAT WOULD JUST THAT WOULD ONLY COVER ONE OF THE VIOLATIONS THOUGH, RIGHT.

THAT WOULD COVER JUST THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND HAVING A AN OFFICIAL APPROVED SITE PLAN RIGHT ON RECORD.

SO WAS THAT THE SITE PLAN WAS NEEDED? THAT'S FOR CUTTING DOWN, DESTROYING, DAMAGING, REMOVING DESTRUCTION, CUTTING DOWN OR DAMAGING ANY TREES. IS THAT. WELL, ALL OF THAT WILL BE EVALUATED DURING THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.

THERE WILL BE MITIGATION FEES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE APPLICATION.

OKAY. AND I MEAN, WHAT WAS WHAT WAS STOPPING THIS PROCESS FROM HAPPENING FOUR YEARS AGO? I CANNOT SPEAK TO ANYTHING PRIOR TO MY EMPLOYMENT.

WE DO KNOW THAT THERE IS NOT AN APPROVED SITE PLAN ON RECORD FOR THIS PARTICULAR ADDRESSES FOR THESE ADDRESSES.

OKAY. AND ALL OF THESE ADDRESSES ARE THERE ADJACENT BUT SEPARATE PROPERTIES.

YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VALERIE. IF YOU. COULD COULD YOU HELP ME OUT WITH EXACTLY WHAT THE VIOLATIONS ARE AS FAR AS WHAT HE'S BEING CITED? YEAH. I MEAN, I'VE GOT I'VE GOT THE CODES. I SEE THE CODES, BUT LIKE WHAT? LIKE, WHAT'S THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S VIOLATING. SO BASICALLY, ALL THREE OF THE, WELL, TWO OF THE MAIN PARCELS, 1965 AND 1981, 81 IS WHERE MR. AGUIRRE HAS ALL HIS STUFF. THE TRUCK'S DIRT.

I MEAN, THERE'S JUST EVERYTHING. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A STORAGE KIND OF WORK PLACE AREA.

THE LAST ONE, 1987, BECAUSE THERE IS A LITTLE STRIP IN BETWEEN 81 AND 87 THAT'S OWNED BY SOMEBODY ELSE.

BUT THE 1987 ONE, HE WAS UTILIZING THAT AT ONE POINT WITH DUMP TRUCKS, A BULLDOZER, PILES OF DIRT, STUFF LIKE THAT. HE HAS STOPPED USING THAT PARCEL.

THE OVERALL PROBLEM IS THE LOTS WERE CLEARED AND FENCES WERE PUT UP AND IT'S BEING UTILIZED, BUT THERE WAS NEVER A SITE PLAN ON RECORD OR PERMITS PULLED.

OKAY. SIR? YEAH. PLEASE COME UP. YES, SIR.

YOU ASKED A GOOD QUESTION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE VIOLATION TO MYSELF, BECAUSE THE WAY THIS THIS THING IS WORDED TO ME, IT SOUND LIKE SOME PARABLES IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE OCCUPYING A PROPERTY FOR 30 YEARS, WHY SHOULD I BE

[01:25:03]

IT WAS EVEN CLEARED BY THE CITY OF PALM BAY WHEN THEY PUTTING THE LIFT STATION.

I HAVE PAPERWORK TO SHOW EVERYTHING. THEY TOOK OVER TO THAT PROPERTY FROM PAPER TREES, PALM TREES PINE TREES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PUT IN A PIPING FROM THE FRONT, SAY, 400 TO THE RAILROAD.

AND THEY CLEARED THE PLACE FOR USING IT AS A STORAGE TO STOCKPILE STUFF.

AND WHAT THEY DIGGING FROM THE GROUND AND, YOU KNOW, AND THEN SECONDLY, THERE'S THIS THIS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CALLED NORTH SHORE, WHERE THEY BUILD THAT BIG 4 OR 5 FLOOR BUILDING ON CONLAN BOULEVARD BACK TO US ONE.

THEY HAD PURCHASED 35FT OF OF ABOUT MAYBE I SAID 15 PROPERTY OWNERS FROM, YOU KNOW, LIKE A MILE OR 2 OR 3 QUARTER MILE LONG STRETCH ALONG THE RAILROAD.

35FT. THEY HAVE BOUGHT FROM ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THEY CLEAR ALL THESE TREES THAT WAS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

SO WE DIDN'T THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A VIOLATION BECAUSE AS I SAID BEFORE, MAN, IT'S 30 YEARS AT THIS PLACE.

THIS PLACE BEEN CLEARED, BEEN IN DIRT ALONE FOR YEARS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, PALM BAY IS FLORIDA. IF YOU TURN AROUND WITHIN A MONTH, TWO MONTHS, IT GROWS UP IN PEPPER TREES OR WEED.

SO YOU YOU HAVE TO CLEAN IT AGAIN SO YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE VIOLATION IS UNNECESSARILY SO OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME.

YOU'VE BEEN EVEN THOUGH YOU KNEW THAT YOU NEEDED A SITE PLAN TO CLEAR THE LAND, YOU'VE BEEN CLEARING IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

KNOW THIS PROPERTY. LET ME TELL YOU, I CAME TO PALM BAY IN 1985, AND I USED TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT OWNED THIS PROPERTY, A GUY NAMED RAY SHACKLEFORD, IN THE EARLY 90S.

AND HE WAS DOING THE SAME BUSINESS. THE SAME EXACT BUSINESS HE WAS DOING ON THIS PROPERTY.

LAND CLEARING. SALTING. I USED TO WORK ON ALL THESE EQUIPMENTS.

AND HE DIED AND I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY FROM HIS WIFE.

AND WE JUST DOING THE SAME THING. AND THEN SURPRISINGLY, I STARTED GETTING VIOLATION ABOUT THIS IN OH FIVE, 2005. AND THEN WE DISPUTED IT BECAUSE THIS WAS AN EXISTING SITUATION GOING ON IN THIS PROPERTY.

AS I SAID, THEY ARE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY. YOUR BUSINESS OPERATION WAS NOT WAS NOT AN EXISTING.

WAS NOT AN EXISTING FEATURE OF THE PROPERTY WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN OPERATING YOUR BUSINESS EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE BEEN CITED. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE KNOWN WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE VIOLATIONS, BUT YOU'VE STILL BEEN OPERATING YOUR BUSINESS.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT BECAUSE WHEN I GOT THE FIRST VIOLATION, THAT'S WHEN I WENT, YOU KNOW, MISS VALERIE WAS SAYING THAT I WAS PAID FOR THIS PROPERTY.

I WANT TO SEE THE DOCUMENT TO SHOW THAT I WAS PAID FOR THIS PROPERTY.

IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT. THIS PROPERTY WAS IN AN EASEMENT.

IT'S AN EASEMENT. SO I GAVE THE AUTHORITY. I'M STILL PAYING TAXES FOR THAT PARCEL THAT THE CITY OPERATES ON.

OKAY, WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THE CITY'S PURCHASE.

WHETHER YOU SOLD OR DONATED THE LAND FOR THIS LIFT STATION, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT RELEVANT TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

RIGHT. ALL I WANT TO I'M LOOKING AT A VIOLATION HERE, AND I SEE YOU'RE IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE FOR CLEARING THE LAND WITHOUT A SITE PLAN APPROVAL. I SEE THAT YOU'RE IN VIOLATION FOR BEING USED AS A STORAGE SITE WITHOUT PLAN APPROVAL.

AND I SEE THE SAME VIOLATION GOING BACK TO SEE THERE'S THIS 2021, 2020. THAT'S 2021. I MEAN, THIS IS 2022. I MEAN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESS FOR GETTING THE SITE PLAN TAKES A WHILE.

IF IT TAKES FOUR MONTHS, THAT'S THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

BUT YOU KNOW, IT COULD HAVE BEEN. I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY IN.

LET'S SEE ONE. LET'S PICK A DATE HERE ON NOVEMBER 12TH, 2021.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION TILL, YOU KNOW, APRIL 2022, BUT I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY RECEIVED THE BENEFIT OF A 3 OR 4 YEAR EXTENSION AT THIS POINT.

WELL, WELL, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU INTERPRET IT, SIR.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS WE HAD ALLOWED THE CITY TO PUT A LIFT STATION ON MY PLACE.

I TOLD YOU, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT LIFT STATION. I JUST MENTIONING THIS BECAUSE AT THAT TIME THEY DID A SITE PLAN ON MY PROPERTY.

[01:30:01]

SO I ACTUALLY GOT A SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CITY HAD DONE ON THE PROPERTY.

THEY PUT THE LIFT STATION, BUT THEY GAVE ME A PARKING SPOT. SO IT I GOT THE IMPRESSION AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD, THAT MR.. GARY. NO, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE THE PROPERTY AND PARK YOUR TRUCKS.

AND THIS WAS IN IN 2010 OR OR 11 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND TWO YEARS LATER, THE VIOLATION CAME RIGHT BACK.

WE QUESTIONED IT WITH THE PRESENT CITY MANAGER, MR. GREG LINK. HE SAID, PUT IT ON HOLD BECAUSE I THINK YOU DESERVE TO TO TO CARRY THIS AMNESTY.

WE IT WAS PUT ON HOLD. MR.. GREG LINK WAS FIRED.

THE I MISS SUSAN TAKE OFFICE THREE YEARS LATER.

SHE GOT FIRED. WE GOT THE VIOLATION AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT I JUST KIND OF CAN'T OVERLOOK, BUT ANYWAY. BUT THE THE POINT THAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT NONE OF WHATEVER MACHIAVELLIAN POLITICS WAS GOING ON WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED IF YOU HAD JUST JUST SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

YEAH. STOP DOING THE OPERATIONS WITHOUT THE SITE PLAN GOING TO THE CITY AND GETTING THE SITE PLAN.

YES, SIR. WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT. YEAH. WELL, THAT'S A GOOD INTERPRETATION TOO, BUT I HAD A SITE PLAN THAT THE CITY DID THE WORK ON THE PROPERTY. THE MAIN PROPERTY. THAT'S THE ENTRANCE.

THAT'S 1981. THE CITY'S SITE PLAN FOR WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING IS NOT THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU NEEDED FOR YOUR PURPOSES.

YES, SIR. IT WAS ON IT. IT WAS ON IT. IT WAS ON THAT PROPERTY.

TWO 1981 DONALD DRIVE. IF I NEED A SITE PLAN TO DO SOMETHING ON MY PROPERTY.

AND THE CITY HAPPENED TO HAVE DONE SOME UTILITY WORK AND I CAN'T SAY.

WELL, THEY DID THEIR SITE PLAN, SO WE GOT A SITE PLAN.

I'M GOOD TO GO. I'D HAVE TO GO GET MY OWN AND DO IT.

GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE CITY. WE CAN'T JUST ADOPT WHAT THEY HAVE.

NOT REALLY SIR, BECAUSE AS I SAID THIS, THIS PARKING SPOT THAT I GOT FROM THE CITY IS ON THE SITE PLAN.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY JUST DID THE LIFT STATION ALONE AND FENCED IT OFF AND THAT'S IT.

THIS WAS AN EXTENDED ERA OF THE SAME DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

BUT ANYWAY, SIR WE CAN PUT THAT ASIDE. WE MENTIONED THIS BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST BY THIS BY THIS CITY STAFF, AND I'M JUST TRYING TO CORRECT SOME OF THESE.

I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD. AS I SAID, IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR ME.

I'VE BEEN IN THE CITY, I DONATE, I CONTRIBUTE, I VOLUNTEER FOR THE CITY FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS AND AND THE END OF THE DAY, I'M EMBARRASSED TO HAVE THIS SITUATION HANGING OVER ME.

I GOT EIGHT KIDS AND 13 GRANDKIDS LIVING IN THE CITY, AND THIS IS THE MORE EMBARRASSMENT TO ME THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

I WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO ALL I'M ASKING RIGHT NOW IS SOME TIME TO GET THIS THING RESOLVED WHERE I SHOW YOU THE PAPERWORK.

I MARRYING THE THREE LOTS AND DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO, YOU KNOW, GET ALL THREE PARCELS INTACT. AND I'M JUST TRYING TO DO THE PROCESS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SIR. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE CITY? THIS IS TIM ROBERTS FROM UTILITIES.

OKAY. SHE'S GOT A STORY. OKAY. CAN YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND? DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? I DO, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, TELL ME WHAT. TELL ME WHAT I KNOW. SO YOUR INPUT AS FAR AS THE LIFT STATION AND THE SITE PLAN.

YES. MR. GARY. SO I WAS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS DONE, BUT SOON AFTER I WAS INVOLVED. AND I DO KNOW THAT WE WE PAID FOR THE EASEMENT, AND NOT ONLY DID WE PAY FOR THE EASEMENT, BUT WE DID DO SOME ADDITIONAL SITE WORK THAT WAS REQUESTED BY MR..

GARY THAT YOU DID MENTION WITH THE PARKING AND THE DRIVEWAY APRON TO TO GET THAT EASEMENT TO MOVE THE THE LIFT STATION FROM THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS NEAR THE RAILROAD.

NOW NEXT TO DANNER DRIVE. SO I DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY WAS HE PAID FOR THE EASEMENT THAT WE ACQUIRED, BUT WE ALSO DID SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROPERTY, GIVING HIM THE DRIVEWAY APRON AND A LITTLE BIT OF IMPERVIOUS PARKING, SOME GRAVEL PARKING AREA AND HE'S.

BUT DESPITE ALL THAT, THE PROPERTY IS STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU MY MY INPUT AND WHAT I KNOW ABOUT IT.

I KNOW THAT THERE WAS, I BELIEVE TWO, MAYBE TWO PLUS YEARS AGO IS A REQUEST TO REMOVE THE FENCE THAT

[01:35:11]

AND THERE'S GRAVITY THAT NOW GOES TO THE THE NEW LIFT STATION THAT PROTECTS THAT GRAVITY.

AND THE LIFT STATION. IT'S A SECURITY FENCE. I THINK I THINK THE REQUEST WAS MADE TO REMOVE THAT.

AND WE, I GUESS IT WAS CONSIDERED TO ALLOW A GATE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES, BUT NOT TO REMOVE THE FENCE, BECAUSE THAT HELPED PROTECT THE LIFT STATION.

OKAY, SIR. OKAY. VALERIE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? I DO NOT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO, I MEAN, HERE'S HERE'S THE PROBLEM I GOT IS JUST THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED A LONG TIME AGO.

YOU KNOW, IF THIS WAS IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD HAVE I WOULD NORMALLY BE IN FAVOR OF AN EXTENSION FOR TO ALLOW FOR THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO GO THROUGH.

BUT I MEAN, THIS, THIS PERMITTING PROCESS YOU COULD HAVE DONE FOUR YEARS AGO AND IT HASN'T BEEN DONE.

THE THE PROPERTY IS STILL BEING USED IN VIOLATION.

WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED A LONG TIME AGO.

SO I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN THE BENEFIT OF MULTIPLE YEAR YEARS OF EXTENSIONS, AND YOU HAVEN'T YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE USE OF IT. SO I'M NOT INCLINED TO GIVE ANY, ANY KIND OF EXTENSION AT THIS POINT.

I THINK YOU KNOW, THE, I THINK THE, THE WAY TO GO HERE IS TO FIND THE PROPERTY IN VIOLATION.

SET A DATE OF IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE, AND THEN YOU KNOW, YOU JUST THE VIOLATION WHEN YOU WHEN YOU RESOLVE THE VIOLATION AND IT'S IN COMPLIANCE, THEN THE FINES WILL STOP. WELL. I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, I AT THIS TIME, I'M WILLING TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE A SITE PLAN PUTTING TOGETHER.

I MAKE AN APPLICATION. WE SUPPOSED TO. SO OBVIOUSLY IT NEEDS TIME AT LEAST TO PROCESS THIS APPLICATION.

THAT'S JUST IN MY MIND. YOU HAD FOUR YEARS. THESE ARE THE SAME VIOLATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2021.

THE WELL, WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE I HAD A SITE PLAN AND THIS IS WHEN I SAY I HAD A SITE PLAN.

THE SITE PLAN IS FOR 1981 WHERE WHAT THE CITY DID.

BUT SECONDLY, IT YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF BEEN LIKE A GRANDFATHERED IN.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THE AUTHORITY SEES AT THE TIME.

AND IT WASN'T IT WASN'T PUSHED FORWARD. SO I PRETTY MUCH TAKE IT FOR GRANTED TOO, THAT IT WAS OKAY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING THIS WAY FOR SO MANY YEARS. BUT APPARENTLY IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW THAT SUPPORT IS NOT THERE.

SO WE WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO DEFINITELY AS THE, AS THE THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT, I STATED THAT THE PROCESS IS GOING ON AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A FEW MONTHS.

SO AT LEAST IF WE GET THAT TIME, WE COULD ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND PRESENT THIS IN A BETTER WAY AND CLOSE THIS CASE PROPERLY.

WELL, YOU CAN STILL DO THAT. I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO DO ALL OF THAT.

THAT'S REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE WHETHER I GIVE ANOTHER EXTENSION, YOU'RE STILL YOU'RE GOING TO DO ALL OF THAT.

YOU'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD. IT'S JUST WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO I WOULDN'T MIND GETTING THAT EXTENSION AND NOT AND NOT HAVING A, YOU KNOW, A A FINE VIOLATION IMMEDIATELY AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

GETTING THE TIME, THEN AT LEAST WE CAN SHOW THAT IMPROVEMENT AND MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IF THIS CASE WEREN'T SO OLD, I MIGHT. I MIGHT BE MORE I MIGHT BE MORE INCLINED TO GRANT YOU AN EXTENSION, BUT I CAN'T NOT NOT WHEN THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN DONE YEARS AGO.

THIS YEAR, I'M. YEAH, I I'M SORRY. I'M GOING TO DENY YOUR REQUEST FOR EXTENSIONS.

THE WHAT IS THE CITY ASKING FOR AS FAR AS THE COMPLIANCE DATE IS IS.

WHAT I. WANT IT TO BE. IS THIS AN IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE DATE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR OR.

[01:40:07]

THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, SO I WAS LOOKING TO GET THE EXACT YEAR I THINK IT WAS 2020.

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING THERE. SO I MEAN, SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN FIVE YEARS AGO.

AND I DON'T THINK ANOTHER FOUR MONTHS IS GOING TO IS GOING TO HELP SITUATION.

SO. THE SO LAST TIME THIS WAS BEFORE ME, I SET THE WRONG DATE.

CAN RODNEY IS A IS IT IMMEDIATE? CAN I SET THE DATE FOR COMPLIANCE TODAY OR DO I HAVE TO GIVE ADDITIONAL TIME? WE CAN DO IT FOR TODAY. ARE YOU ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL TIME? I'M SORRY. DO YOU WANT IT SET FOR TODAY, OR DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL.

WELL, NO MATTER WHAT DATE YOU SET, HE'S NOT GOING TO COME BACK TO IMPOSE FINES UNTIL JUNE.

SO THAT BASICALLY GIVES HIM TWO MONTHS. TWO MORE MONTHS TO.

OKAY. YEAH. SO THE DATE OF COMPLIANCE WE WILL SET FOR APRIL 9TH, 2025.

AND THEN IT'S $50 A DAY FOR EVERY DAY THAT THE FOR EACH VIOLATION.

THAT IS STILL STILL IN EFFECT AFTER THAT. FOR EACH.

YEAH. WELL WE I GUESS WE KIND OF WE GOT TO DO EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.

RIGHT. OKAY. ALL.

RIGHT. AND THEN ALL I CAN SAY IS JUST GET THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND THE FINES WILL GO AWAY. THE FINES WILL STOP ACCRUING, I SHOULD SAY.

UNFORTUNATELY, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WITH THIS AND THE THE GOOD MANAGER, GOOD MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR SAID. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 3 OR 4 MONTHS JUST FOR THE PROCESS ALONE, YOU KNOW? WHAT HAD GONE ALREADY? AS I SAID, IT'S 20 YEARS, 25 YEARS.

SO YOU WERE JUST MENTIONING FOUR YEARS AGO. BUT THIS THING HAS BEEN FOR SO LONG.

YOU KNOW, I GOTTA I GOTTA TELL YOU, THAT'S NOT HELPING YOUR CASE TO CONTINUE SAYING HOW FAR BACK IT GOES.

IT DOESN'T HELP. THAT DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T HELP.

THANK YOU SIR. NO PROBLEM. WE HAVE ONE MORE CASE ON THE OLD BUSINESS.

IT'S 2572725 AT 349 BUTLER AVENUE NORTHEAST. THIS CASE HAS ACTUALLY COME INTO VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE AND IS NOW CLOSED.

ALL RIGHT. GOING BACK TO OLD BUSINESS, I MEAN, GOING BACK TO AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES.
