time is 601. This is a meeting of the village of Biscane Park code compliance board. The board is authorized pursuant to chapter 14 of the villages land development code to ensure compliance with the villages code of ordinances. The members of the
board are citizens and residents of the village of Biscuit Park. We volunteer our time and we're not paid for our services. The purpose of each hearing is to give any alleged violators the opportunity to contest the decision of the code compliance officer which
resulted in the issuance of a notice of violation and to determine whether a violation of the villages code has occurred or is occurring. We are not authorized to dismiss violations based on hardships, ignorance or the fact that others may be guilty of the same
violation. These hearings are conducted in a quasi judicial manner. Our responsibility is to act much like a judge in a court and that is to hear cases presented by the villages code compliance officers and to hear contradictory arguments presented
by the alleged violators. We are not authorized to change the code. The village commission is solely authorized to enact or revise codes. Conversely, neither the commission nor the village manager have the authority to overrule the findings of the board. Pursuant to
chapter 162 Florida statutes, orders of the board can only be appealed to the circuit court of Miami Dade County, we have the authority to assess and order the payment of simple penalties, to issue orders having the force of law, to command whatever steps are necessary to
bring a violation into compliance, and to assess administrative costs. In order to make a finding upholding the co-compliance officer's decision, we must find that there is substantial competent evidence that the name violator was responsible for a violation
of the relevant section of the code as charged. All documentary evidence presented by the parties must be submitted for placement in the hearing file. No documentary evidence will be considered unless the alleged violator or code compliance officer submits a copy for
the hearing file. Each party shall have the right to call and examine witnesses, to introduce exhibits, to cross-examine opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues, even though that matter was not covered in the direct examination, to impeach any witnesses,
regardless of which party first called them, to testify, and to rebut the evidence against them. If you intend to address the board and you haven't signed in, please do so. Anyone wishing to address the board, please stand, raise your right hand so you can be sworn in.
You are reminded that this board is a quasi judicial board and giving false testimony can be penalized. Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

>> Passes 5. >> Have it sky hard. Four zero. Thank you. Any additions or deletions to the agenda? >> We have no additions and no deletions. My name is Dorian Grant. I'm the code compliance director for the village of
Biscane Park. The first time on the first item on the agenda is in new business and it's item number 7.1 for the address 677 Northeast 111th Street is for case number C25-04949
Peg Evans Lee. We are asking for an order of enforcement on this case. uh they were found to be in violation of section 16.14.1 double fee permits for installing a shed for the laundry without first obtaining
a permit. Peg is present, but I'm looking at the permit that's been applied for. It's electric. What about the structure? The structure is I was at the property yesterday with the building official. The structure is still up. It hasn't
been removed. >> However, Miss Peg has decided Have you decided? >> Yes. >> To install the washer and dryer inside the house. So, the electrical permit would just be one of the permits she needs. She would need mechanical and
plumbing to be able to move the dryer from where it's located outside the house, bring it inside. um and have all those installed. So, that's not enough. She needs two more permits to be able to do that. >> Right. And I I found a plumber to >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Okay.
>> So, the structure is going to be >> the structure will be removed. >> I I've given out >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> In your relationship to the property. >> Okay. I'm Peg Evans. It's my property.
>> Any questions from any of the board? Okay. So, um I've tried to figure out how to resolve this problem and um my nephew came from South Carolina. He works construction. He said, "Peggy, I can take care of it for you, you know."
So, he got here, but he he since he doesn't live here, he doesn't have a Florida uh license to do that. So, he couldn't do it. So then um I found a contractor and he took six weeks to come
up with a bid which was very high and uh so I said can you work with me? Can you do it? I waited another he go oh yeah I can do that. I waited another three weeks and he ghosted me. So then the prefab shed came up because
code had talked about the the prefab shed. So I looked into that. I found one. Um, but I'm concerned about it because I would need to have some holes put in it to have the hookups for the washing machine and the dryer. And um,
Dorene and Miguel came yesterday and they said that would not pass inspection. So, uh, and I found another contractor, very nice gentleman. Uh, again, very expensive, over $12,000.
So now when Dorene and Miguel came, I said, I would like to get them and put stackable machines, put them in my kitchen. And so they everybody thought that was a good idea. So, um I hired today, you
know, if this is permissible, um an electrician, uh Mike Michael from Longarmm, and I found a plumber, Limttz, and he said he would be able to help me also. So, now I
just need um the AC guy for the vent to locate that person. So, I'm I've been trying really hard. I mean, this has been exhausting. Really, really hard.
>> Certainly appreciate the construction in South Florida is always to say the least a challenge. >> Yeah. >> Problem is all of this went up unpermitted. >> I understand it was so fast. I mean, the shed went up
in three days, and I thought, you know, is this a big deal? I didn't know. Um, I had never built anything before. So, it it was it's new new territory for
me. Truly new territory for me. So, yeah. I mean, before I lived in Biscane Park, I lived in New York City for 20 years. and you just talked to the super about your apartment. You know, you didn't have to get permits and all. So,
this was all new for me. This is from the board. Someone like to make a motion. We appreciate the resident um working hard with the village to rectify this, but it was put up without a permit and
was a violation. And uh I like the violation has occurred and um I won't give the property owner uh 90 days until the day I believe August the 17th.
>> Mhm. >> August the 17th. um to have uh the um build the uh either come into compliance by removing the shed and pulling the proper permits
>> or um $250 fine. Well, let me start over I've had a little vacation. So, um a violation has occurred. Mhm. >> $250 fine, >> administrative fee of $250, and to either come into compliance by
having the shed removed or pulling the uh appropriate permit by August the 17th or a $250 fine per day there. >> I'll second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? >> Motion passes for me.
>> I have a question. I'm a little confused. So, do I have to pay a fine now or do I have till August 17th to come in compliance? I'm confused. There there are essentially three components to the fine. >> Okay. >> $250 is the violation fine.
>> Okay. >> 250 is the administrative fee. You will not have a daily fine if you comply by either removing the shed or pulling all required permits. Okay. By August 17th, but you will have the violation fine and
the admin. >> Okay. What what's the second word you're saying? The >> 250 is the violation. >> Violation, right? And >> 250 is administrative. >> Administrative. Okay. The daily fine will only happen if you do not come into compliance by either removing the shed
or pulling all the required permits. Okay. >> By August 17th. >> Okay. So, do I pay this tonight? >> No, ma'am. >> You want to set a date? >> Tomorrow. >> Okay. >> We We don't take payment here. >> Okay.
>> You have a pay by date for the It's no pay, >> right? Well, we haven't done that before. >> Right. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> The next item is 7.10

planning and design review board. Uh, it's in building review as we speak. Uh, they are requesting for an extension so they can go through this process. when someone comes from an extension or pressure washing their room cleaning
their house I have one feeling but when we're dealing with something that was red tagged January 15th >> may I just add be I'm sorry to interrupt you this ex this extension is being requested by the
building official >> okay >> makes the difference. I I understand >> because again, I mean, I'm looking at we're two weeks away from hurricane season. >> You take a look at these pictures. It's not going to take much of a wind
event to send stuff on flying and that narrow >> and I guess I seem to remember in February, I'm getting ahead of myself again. May I ask you to introduce yourself and your relationship to the property? >> Yes. I'm Agina Fernandez and I'm part of
the I'm one of the owners of a company that owns the property. >> Were you Were you here a few months ago? >> It was here a few months ago. Yes. >> Because I remember that your knowledge about the condition of this house kind of evolved after you bought it, right?
>> Yes. >> It was too, you know, lot was too small. You couldn't do what you wanted. You didn't try to figure out what you >> It was a little a little harder than I thought. Planning basically. >> I think you were talking about overgrown stuff and and all that stuff, right?
>> The we had we have two violations actually. Uh what one of those is all which is the following item in the agenda is the trash. We removed that trash uh a week after and we are maintaining the property next month. >> And then what happened after that? Was
it evolved when it's like we just got to take this thing down? Is that kind of what you >> We needed to sell a property to have the money to build a new house. >> Uh that being >> You guys have the one in Biscane Park that you're doing and all that, right? >> What was it? >> Did you have like another You had a couple properties.
>> Yes, I live in Biscane Park. I own the property that is right in front of my house. We did that house and we couldn't sell it. So, right now we are renting it, but we needed to sell that house in order to build a new one. The new one we're going to keep it. So, we are designing already. uh we are at least uh
going through the plans because we know that it's going to take some time for us to go through that process >> is that I remember just like you said Michael where you had concerns not sure exactly what you were going to do with the property you couldn't build what you
really wanted >> and I wonder that that didn't sort of slow down your sense of urgency >> no it did >> because the application is only in >> and I want few days. >> I want to clarify something. I didn't know that the structure Yeah. >> The application was only turned in a few
days before the actual deadline for the permit. All the missing documents that are listed, are they still missing or have they been? >> Um, if I >> Most of them have been furnished and this is why the building official asked for the um extension himself because
some of their documents are not going to come from them. They're going to have to go to the county. They're going to have to it's a longer process. It will take them some time to get everything together. So, they do need the time. >> And I want to clarify. >> You said we're two weeks away from hurricane.
>> No. And I understand that and it concerns me as well. I just want to you to know that uh >> suggesting >> you're suggesting that we give them more time to be able to to get all the documentation together. They cannot demo the property if they do not have the
correct documentation. I'm the one that is interested in demolishing the property. Trust me. >> The seat of the ball is there. How long? >> He has no control over what happens with the county. Durm has been backed up for a while now. And without that, anything
official can't do anything. They have to wait for the county to issue the documentation that's required. and knowing that I had a meeting today with Durham because of course I'm new in this process and it's really really complicated. I did the septic tank
abandonment which is with health department that we did already. I did the the cop the FBL um connection. Uh I couldn't get them to send me the the certificate where it says that they did. So I have
to go in person. I need to do the same thing with Tik Gas and I need to go to the county today. I had a meeting >> at this point. It's too little too late. But that's why you should have >> No. And I I started >> in April 21st. >> No, no, I started right away by
>> Hold on a second because that's why I was asking you those questions specifically because I wanted to take the board and myself through the process from the last time that you were here. >> It didn't sound like you were going to demolish the house. It's been trying to figure it out.
>> No, but right after our meeting. >> I understand that. >> Tell that I had to do it. >> Okay. And then and then and then that process formulated, you know, around that time and there's the things that you had discussed that take more time, more effort, more frustration to get
done. Right. >> And then now you're in this process that you are, >> you know, um full steam ahead on, right? >> Correct. >> Yes. >> And that's what you're doing right now. But it was an evolving process that was coupled by not being able to sell his
house and the house being too small for >> no after our meeting. No, I I decided that right away and I started right away but it truly takes time and of course I'm doing it myself because there is no permit that will take this process >> and then and then Dorene th those
documents were submitted after she did what you know the decision that she made. She's been working with the village, >> has been very diligent. She's been in village hall building department several times. She's come for consultations. She's um gone to the county. She's done
what she's supposed to do. >> So, it's not it's not this resident, this homeowner that's asking for the extension. It's our village that's >> that is saying that >> okay, >> need to allow this process, >> right, >> to do it in 30-day increments. So,
>> 30 days is not enough. I was going to say recommend I've already put down here 60 days. I I put days >> I just know what it took. Let me just for a minute. >> Yes. So >> to get a gas line put in so I can get my
generator put in. >> So um >> durm is backed up by three months. Uh so 60 days is good. We can come back for a progress report. >> July 15th. Well, July 20th is the next I was just going by um the uh

>> I think the thing that is most unfortunate while I understand the logic behind not allowing the construction films without either a demo or a build permit. It has the obvious downside that first
the neighbors have to live with this and then again it does not much of a wind sense of you know I I would really like to see the commission move >> maybe we could have this
>> yes Uh, do we have a couple of residents waiting? Yes. >> The next one, two, three, four items. 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, and 6.6.
Property addresses 842 Northeast 121st Street. Property owners are Coupins Investments, Inc. taking care of their registered agent M. Fuentes and Company. The case numbers are 02-08502851
>> 0208 55. >> That's two cases in one. 02-0852-0856. Now, these property owners are here because um we received a request from a title company that's trying to sell a property
in um the the the city of North Miami. However, that property was owned by this couple years ago >> and >> never no Therefore, you're recommending that we
don't release lean until there's some proof that there was payment made. >> Correct. >> Okay. All right. >> And unfortunately, we are holding up a sale in the city of North Miami. When it comes to a settlement document, that's just showing where monies are allocated >> are being allocated. Correct.
>> It wasn't a rece. It wasn't a check. >> Right. >> If you would identify yourselves and your relationship to the problem. >> I'm Dave Afro David Dawson. Um, helping investments. My wife Nessie. >> Yeah.
You see where we are at this great >> Yeah. I can tell you what's going on. Well, as far as I think there's only one little glitch on this is that when we purchased the property, of course, it was in deplorable conditions. You know, the roof had caved in, the
walls had caved in, and I guess Dan had hand this had this ongoing debate with the village over garbage on his front yard. So, the big deal to me was, first of all, these were not our violations, right? You can speak right into >> It's so loud. >> I apologize.
>> But it's so loud. >> Okay. Um, so these were not our violations. And the village said, "Well, we're going to work with you on this." So, it took us forever to put new roofs, new windows, new electric, plumbing, everything to it. And then we paid for
everything. We went before the board and then we had already paid $113,000 to our attorney in his escrow account because we didn't know how it was all going to shake out and we had an agreement with the homeowner, the previous homeowner, Dan, that if the village didn't comply
that these were all of his violations, not ours. Um, so we finally got to that point and on our closing statement it shows that those funds were collected from him but not given to us. So those
those funds were taken from us by the attorney and and it was for the point of being paid. until when Miss Grant said that they didn't have a record of it, I said I wanted them the village to go back to your financial records to see
because I knew I didn't to my knowledge I you know on our closing statement you know how it says you're going to pay your mortgage and the attorney collects the money for your mortgage and pays it. It literally says the money was taken from his proceeds to pay the fines for
the village of Biscane Park. But if it was given to us, it would have shown the funds going to us, you know, and then our responsibility to pay. So we were told that they were paid. So I think between the attorney, he's now looking at his escrow account from 10 years ago
because up until right now, we had no idea. But then we knew that there was some issues with um Dan and his other properties in North Miami. So, we hired um attorney Koviello because he's a zoning attorney to come in and he did
the zoning and he negotiated with the attorney in North Miami to make sure that we would never have any associations with his leans or any property uh any problems with his stuff. So, we had to then pay attorney's fees
and the city of North Miami to make sure that all of his stuff never came back our direction. And so, we have receipts from um the attorney for North Miami, attorney for here to make sure that this
something like this never happened. So now we're the only thing that we're going back to is um trying to have the attorney look at his escrow account because it was clearly not given to us and he he was told you know I mean he
thought he paid it. So I'm just asking the village to get all of their receipts from that time from when the monies were collected from us and they should compare their escrow account however the village does it with the attorneys
because the if if you're searching for us to be paying it. Not that not that we were saying we weren't supposed to pay it but we paid it to the attorney. So if someone was searching for a check from us, it wouldn't be in our name anyway.
It would be probably in Dan's name, Dan Pomerance, and it would be >> I don't think we get a whole lot of >> Well, it shouldn't have been any talking about the closing document is dated 2014.
>> Yeah. >> Mr. Dawson came here to ask for relief on those lean two years later. So they were aware that le these leans were not paid also. >> No, but that's when they agreed to it. Remember the village of Biscane Park won't meet with you until everything
like we can't um ask for relief from those leans until the whole property is into compliance. So first we had to pull all the permits, go through all the renovations and everything. So we were not remiss in waiting those two years.
We follow the process. 20,000 would have come from in the closing statement two years before you got the >> Well, it would have been for 80,000. So, did did we get a $82,000 check in 2014? >> An interesting point that she brings up
the $20,000 that shows up on the closing documents. How did it show up on the closing documents when they haven't even they hadn't had the relief two years? >> Right. In 2014, it was 82,000. Right. There was a pro. >> I don't know how it went, but you got a
copy of the closing statement. >> You have a copy of it? >> You don't have a copy? I have a copy here. >> Right. >> But if regardless of what the closing statement says, if the village says they don't have the money, we don't have the
power to release. How can they How can they show you they never received what they never received? >> Everyone has a bank statement. I mean, that's what they're asking the attorney. I'm asking my attorney to go through it and say, "You collected the 20,000."
>> The way we document these cases is when we receive the money, we release the leans. Miss Dawson is a real estate agent, savvy real estate agent. If she had four leans on her property that were not released, she would have come back here and made sure those leans were
released. She paid the $20,000. Can you answer the question, Miss Dawson? Can Yeah. >> Or Mr. Dawson? >> Um, >> if you came here in 2016 and asked for a reduction on the 20,000 and and Miss Dawson is saying that on the closing statement, it was it was uh the money
changed hands and they were supposed to take care of the lean and the lean at that time was $82,000. Can you explain why the closing statement says $20,000 when he didn't when Excuse me. >> No, you asked me could I >> No, but I was I was done. Did do you
know why it is that the closing documents that you're showing to us from 2014 have the number 20,000 instead of 82,000? >> First of all, they weren't our leans. So, >> but I'm not ask I'm asking I don't know how it worked. In fact, I don't even
remember it hardly. I mean, this is now we're we're 12 years later and we're in just as much shock as anyone. >> That stage they were 82. They weren't. >> No, but they had already been worked out. We we when when we got together
with the village and the village manager years later after you bought the property. >> No, before we bought the property, we said we don't want to touch a property if it's going to be a hot mess. We met with the village before we even owned the property and said, "How are we going
to how do we approach this? How does this whole thing work?" You know, so we're all we're asking for is that we I in fact, I talked to the attorney before we came over. I said, "I'm in just as much shock because the closing statement says it was taken care of. We have no
clue what happened." >> Well, closing statement from 2014 way back then. And I do know that we didn't release until that's part that's part of our whole >> Right. Right. >> Right. >> Always.
>> Right. >> Don't hear them until fine reduction until >> they've already had their fine reduction. It's not our job to release their leans. That's something they have to work out with.
>> We didn't even know it was existing. We're here to say we're in just nud shock and we're we're okay with trying to get it done. >> So when we searched for payment, we searched in every name of every name that's been on the title for the last 20 years.
>> Dorian, I I I asked Miss, but she didn't remember. But let me ask you from your search of the village records, because I'm still confused about this. If if the property was sold in 2014 and there's a closing statement that you were provided that indicated that there was a lean of $20,000 on that lean that was supposed
to be paid for by this Mr. Pomerance. How is it that in 2016 Mr. Dawson came to the village to ask for a fine reduction and got it reduced from $82,000 down to $20,000. Is there have you been able to figure out that answer from your your records? be able
to answer that question >> and I was able to figure that out as I was looking at the documents and she sent me that closing document um later. >> I looked at the dates and it didn't add up to me just as it doesn't add up to you.
>> Okay. So, you don't have an answer. So, you don't have an answer from our records. >> Okay. Hold on. See, there's a possibility that there may have been another lean on the property that was $20,000 cuz I saw a note and if you look at the document that I submitted from the notes in the
system that it says $5,000 paid. The case number is not on this list. It's on a different case number. Now, I wasn't there and I'm not accusing them of anything. Anything would have been possible. I >> what I wanted to to to do is stay with these leans
>> that I know are attaching to that property to help >> a person to sell their property and clean their title because these leans are outing that title. >> Right. I understand that. But so >> dollar payment that that David Koviello or Michael Scott PA says was made to the
city of North Miami. those leans that property do with the village of Biscane Park >> none of those leans are of the date I checked them one by one >> so Dorian just so I understand because of my confusion uh the so you're saying
perhaps that $20,000 on that closing statement may have been for the satisfaction of another lean >> possible >> okay >> otherwise otherwise somebody's going to see in the future >> where did they get the number Yeah, I was going to say I would think that your
attorney or your closing agent at the time should have the documentation provided to us. We'll have something else. Right now, we have still have a file with the county and my recommendation is to have stay in place until
>> right and we're not even arguing that. We're not asking you to release it. We're saying we had no clue. But I want to make it clear, the order that you thought was happening is not how it happened because I waited through maybe 15 emails saying there was one that said
when our meeting was. So I wanted you to go back to the meeting notes. >> And and did you see where was the fine came down to 20,000? >> Yes, I did. I've submitted it to the board. >> Okay. But that was not in order. >> I know. But that was not in order of what they said. It didn't come down in
2014 and then we waited till 2016. I think I don't even think the meeting was until 2015 or something. >> That's January 2016. January 11, 2016. >> Okay. I thought I thought it was June. Okay. So, anyway, so that's what's going
on. We're clueless. We're shocked. >> These are the minutes for the meetings for the agenda for sorry, the agenda and the signing sheet where Mr. Dawson signed into that meeting. So, the bottom line is everybody's trying to just untangle this to figure out what's going on because you got you got to you got a
cloud on your title. It shouldn't impact this North Miami thing because they should be separated and we got to figure out if we have a lean or not, if you paid it or not. And that's where we're at right now. >> Copied their attorney. He hasn't replied. He hasn't answered. He hasn't given us any explanation. But I would
>> But he just got back from vacation, I think yesterday. >> Our >> It already has been. There's nothing this committee, >> right? Our our our attorney's statement was there's no receipt, no check for $20,000, no releases. That was his.
>> But have you checked all of your state? >> Yes. >> You can show your bank state. >> Yes. >> Okay. Because it's not unusual for things to get misfiled >> I I went to lens to >> Well, no, that's what I said. As soon as you told me, we actually thought we were
um it was a mistake because we We haven't had any issues for 12 years. So, we didn't know what was going on. So, anyway, we're not even arguing it. >> So, at this point, just say I mean, there's >> just give us an extension to where we're
trying to find out where it where it is. >> We're not the lean's in place. So, there's nothing for us to even do. >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> I mean, it's just >> Oh, okay. There's there's nothing for this committee to do because we didn't >> those leans will stay on that property.
The leans will stay on the property. And >> when you say plural, the 20,000 >> 20,000. Yeah. >> Well, the rules for reductions are if they do not pay when they were told to pay, the lean reinstates to the original amount.
>> No way. So if we find that this there is if the lawyer brings a council check and okay here they paid I'll be the first one to release these leans. >> Now if there is no evidence that that reduction was successfully done and paid
for the lean has reinstated to the over $82,000 and that's what we'll be working for going forward. And then we they would they would be eligible to apply. >> They can apply for relief because they did come into compliance. They did. And I saw the receipts. I saw the permits of
the work you did um on the house. Good job. However, you bought the property as is. You brought you bought a broken property and all that responsibility is on the new owner, right? If you buy I'm saying the point though of the leans and
this is just him fighting village hall. Okay. I can understand if the leans were something that was it it hurt other people and it was a problem. This guy had some garbage on his front porch like leans are leans. It doesn't matter what
it's relevant to saying we are the ones that made immediate effort to make the village better to clean up everything. We are in compliance. We did it immediately. >> That's great. But you bought the property as is Nancy. You you know that.
But I'm saying that I'm saying for what we agreed to do is to pay something that we didn't do. >> Miss Dawson, you really need to move on this. >> We have no proof of payment. We cannot authorize any of the lease. Correct. >> And in fact, Miss Grant exped.
