Thank you. >> All right. Is that Is that it then for that one? Okay. All right. Just give me one second so I can move on to the next

>> Okay. Do we have a respondent? Yes. All right. Could you just state your name? >> Cecilia Gonzalez. >> Okay. Thank you. Uh town may proceed. >> Uh good morning again, your honor. Terry W with the town of Fort Myers Beach code enforcement. I've been with the town for
a year and a half. Um we're here to pro to provide a status update for case number 20250968. The subject property is located at 155 Hibiscus, Fort Meyers, Fort Myers Beach, Florida 33931.
Uh Cecilia Gonzalez, the respondent and property owner, was ordered to bring the property into compliance by January 4th, 2026. And I would like to submit into evidence the following. An affidavit of non-compliance dated January 14th, 2026.
Photos dated January 14th, 2026, showing that the property is still not in compliance. And an email correspondence from January 14th where the property owner was asking for a Zoom link to attend this hearing. and I responded advising the property owner of the
continued violations as well as um one of our staff members uh was supposed to send a Zoom link. Um I believe she received it this morning, but obviously she drove over from the other coast. >> Great. I didn't want to not attend. >> Yeah, we appreciate that. Um, so I'm
giving you the um affidavit of non-compliance and photos is exhibit A, I believe. >> And I'm going to give a copy to Miss Gonzalez as well. >> Yes, please do. >> Thank you. >> Miss Gonzalez, if you can just take a
look at that and let me know if you have any objection to actually to admitting it. Um I I would like to state >> I I just need to know if you object to this. You'll have an opportunity to respond, but just >> No. No. >> Any objection to her giving me this
stuff? No objections. >> Okay. Um and I'll give you an opportunity to respond. I'll just let her. >> Okay. Um Okay. So, no objection to admitting it. I'll admit it and you may proceed. >> Okay. Um on January 3rd and January
14th, my inspections revealed that the grass and plant growth had been addressed and that the plant growth height is under 12 in. But the following violations still exist. Um there is rubbish and garbage still on site. The swimming pool is not clean or sanitary
and at the time of my inspection smelled like there was something dead either in the pool area or around that area. I can't pinpoint that it was abs from the pool. Um and the property fence or and barrier has not been installed and um as
was required for the order um and there has not been a fence permit for the pool um applied for as of this morning. Um, there is orange fencing around the pool, but as the order stated, the orange fencing is temporary and is no longer um
considered secure. Um, as you can see from my photos, um, you can pull up the orange fencing and even push down the orange fencing and in my opinion, um, as a professional that someone or something could get under or over the orange fencing, therefore not making the pool
secure. So, the town would like to ask for a finding and impose a the $250 administrative fee to bring this case to before the magistrate and $250 fine from the order of compliance date January f 1st, 2026 until full compliance is met.
>> Thank you. Okay, Miss Gonzalez, you may proceed. Um, I put the orange fencing because I am going to demolish the house. I have already um gotten a company that is going to do that. I was trying to put get the money
together, the 4,000 that I need to come up front with. That has been done. I spoke to him yesterday. He sent me a new copy. Um, I don't know if you received it this morning. I faxed it to you. May I >> I'm sorry.
No, you're fine. >> Sure. Do you want to take Do you want to take a Or she'll make sure Are you going to make a cop? She's going to make a copy. >> And that is for um the demolition and the removal of the pool. So, I didn't want to go ahead and put in a permanent
fence if I was going to remove it in a month or two. Um I did speak to him yesterday and he said I asked will you be doing this within six or eight weeks. He said it depends on the permitting how long it takes right after we receive
your money which I have gotten together and I can send that to him today. Um so he will as soon as he's got that together he will go ahead with the demolition and I will ask him to proceed if possible with the pool removal first.
Um, I have spoken yesterday I spoke to Mr. Jeff Hayes u about cleaning out the pool and he said that the fastest that he could get out there would be Tuesday. So on
Tuesday, whatever debris is in there will be removed and that should take care of the foul odor and anything else in there. >> Okay. Did you take a look at what she provided? You can just
>> Yes. My only concern is um line one says demo of home with concrete to remain approximately 1588 square feet includes permit equipment, labor and dump fees. And then um the second line says not included in this hazmat survey. Not that
that matters. Um demo pool and fill separately from house demo. So again, >> I'm sorry. I don't mean to, but do you have any objection to it being admitted? >> I do not. I'm sorry. >> Now I can look at it and I'll see what you're talking about. Okay, I will admit exhibit B. >> Yeah, thank you.
>> Um, do you >> getting ahead of myself? >> No, that's okay. No, no, that's okay. All right. So, your concern is that >> that the demo and pool issue will be taken care of separately from the demo of the >> It does have a price line item there.
There's a separate price for it. So, it looks like it is included. >> Do you see that? >> Yes. >> Okay. Anything else? >> Well, again, there's water that remains in the pool, whether it's clean or dirty. Um, I appreciate that they're
willing to take the steps to get the water cleaned, but then again, the town's concern is that anyone or anything could get into the water and then we could have a possible um death or incident.
Okay. So, thank you. Do you have more to add? I I apologize. We kind of started talking about this. So, if you want to continue. So, >> go ahead. >> That's all I have. It's because of the demolition that I have not put up the
fence and I will take care of removing the water and whatever else is in there on Tuesday. As far as the rainwater, I can't control that and it is going to rain. Um, but the fencing I would like not to have to put up a permanent one
because it will only be for six or eight weeks. I don't know what else I can do to make it safer until >> I I may have misunderstood. You're having the all the water removed from the pool. >> Yes. Everything is going to be taken out. >> So, I may have misunderstood that. I didn't I thought you were just going to treat it.
>> No. No. So, I guess the town would be satisfied if the water is removed from the pool and that the demo permits are applied for ASAP. Um, as of now, there are no permits that have been applied for, uh, recently. So, um, I believe we'd be happy with that if the property
owner can just keep an eye on, you know, when we do have a rain event, like last night, it rained pretty good. um if you could just really keep an eye on it, but if you keep moving forward, I believe the town would be happy with that as well as um paying that administrative
fee that I spoke about earlier. >> Can Can I add something, please? >> Sure. Can you step up to the podium, please, and state your name first? >> Fernando Dega. Uh we're going to be talking to the contractor who's going to do the demo and if it's fastest to get a
permit for the pool removal, we want to proceed that way with him saying come in, apply for the permit right away, take the pool out since this is the main issue we're having, not necessarily knocking down the house, and then apply for the demo of the home after. If that
expedites the process and to get that permit quickly done because it's just a removal of a pool and dirt thrown in, we'll go that way. We're going to separate the contract out so that he can proceed and get the remediation done of the pool which is a concern. That's the
way we want to approach it. >> Would the permits be able to be done together or do they have to be separate permits? take longer for the demo of the house than for >> Okay, I >> I'm asking about the permitting. >> I understand. I appreciate that. I I
cannot answer those questions, but I don't know if the town has an answer to that question. However, for our purposes, I mean, that's something that you would have to sort out after the hearing. I just have to figure out whether you're in violation and what we need to do to
fix it. As far as the permitting end is concerned, the town can assist. So, does the town have any response to if you want to address it? Do you have any >> You can give Okay, go ahead. >> Say your name, please. >> Michael Houseman, code compliance manager. Um, you can do those demo
permits separately. Um, and they would inspect the pool separate from the house. So, um, there's certain requirements to demo a pool. Um, >> um, removing a drain hole on the bottom, filling it with certain type of sand, things of that nature. Thank you. >> I just want to add one more thing
because we're not familiar with that clause that he put in there which could be a a big ticket item. The hazmat survey uh well when the house was being rebuilt, they insulated with foam insulation the roof and as far as I can
tell when I Google it says hazmat disposal is required for foam insulation. But that's not the fun. >> So we want to know what that cost would entail. >> So for for our purposes that's not we're not addressing that here today. I I
understand. But for this but for this hearing we're not addressing that. >> So um my recommendation to you would be to speak with the folks at permitting figure out what it is that you need to submit and what that timeline looks like. Thank you. >> Um the the issues that were brought
before me were the pool um being not sanitary, the pool being not secured other than with a temporary fencing. Um the the grass and the weeds that were high, which apparently have been
resolved, and the rubbish, debris, and miscellaneous items, which I understand are still there. >> Correct. So, as far as cleaning up the yard, that should be done um this weekend and and is easy to do. I mean,
>> relatively. It's not the demolition of a pool. >> So, I will ask that the pool be >> drained, cleaned, secured, whatever you need to do by next week. You will have one week to do that. >> Okay. >> I understand that you will be
demolishing the pool. Um, in light of that, I agree it will only take longer probably to get a fence up than it would to just proceed with that. >> I agree. >> I need we need to make sure that whatever fence you do have is sufficiently secured and we need to get
those permits in immediately. >> Yes. >> Um, if we empty the water, it will be a good temporary fix, but it is not a good long-term fix because that does not make it safe. Mhm. >> And rainwater is only going to continue to cause the same problem over and over
again. So, um, do you have a request for how long you would like to be given to proceed with the at least submit the permit? I understand that permitting timeline could be beyond your control once you get everything. Yes. >> But how long would you like to request
to get your paperwork in? >> Request in. I can I will submit the paperwork to him over the weekend and I don't know how long it will take him to take care of that. Perhaps four weeks if possible.
>> Okay. I'm going to go to the town. Town, do you have a timeline you would like to request that I give them in order to submit their paperwork to permit? Understanding that they are not I mean they have no control over how long it takes once they do submit it.
>> Sure. But I see um >> forward you. >> Do you have any comments on that? I'm gonna allow the parties to see. If you can tell me, I'll put that in the order. Otherwise, I'll come up with a number. But I'm gonna allow both parties to submit a or to request how long you would like to allow for them to submit the paperwork.
>> I mean, I honestly don't think it'll take that long to get paperwork together to fill out. We already have communication with property owner who will sign over to the construction company. I mean, my recommendation is two weeks unless our manager says otherwise. Do you have a comment? >> Just want to put on the record. Um, it's
Michael with code manager. Um, I remember a similar conversation last month. Um, they did, it looks like they did get their quotes. Um, but they were going to apply for permit within that time frame and we're back here again for status. So, um,
I wouldn't want to push it past next hearing. So, we could if we wanted to bring back for another status hearing. So, um, three weeks would be fine. >> Okay. So I I will issue an order. You will have one week from today to get
everything cleaned up. Um empty the water, clean the water, secure the water in the pool. >> Okay. >> I will give you until Let me take a look at this calendar. Once you do that, I will ask that you contact code enforcement to let them
know that it's been done so that they can verify that compliance. >> Yes. Um, I will give you until January 31st, so the end of the month to get all your paperwork in. That is a Saturday, but I'll give you till the 31st to get
all your paperwork in for submitting the permit. Okay. Um, I will assess the $250 costs because >> like the co-manager has stated, we're here. We've been here a couple of times
now. um and nothing's been submitted for permitting. So, I urge you to do it quickly and do not delay. Um and get that paperwork submitted. If the paperwork is not submitted or if it's not substantially compliant with what we
need to do to demolish the pool, you may be assessed fines from from this point forward. Okay. >> Okay. So, at the next hearing, I'll determine whether or not we need to assess those fines. Um, and and get that yard cleaned up also.
>> Yes. >> Okay. Um, does that address all of the issues? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, >> does that address everything that's before me? >> Yes. >> Yes, sir. >> I just want to be clear on the debris
that u you want us to remove. The single blocks were left there by the contractor who was putting up the structure when the permits got pulled out. So are there an issue because they're in front of the house? Because since they're going to demolish the house, I'll take those
bricks and throw them inside the house for now. So they're not visible from the street side. >> Yeah. Anything you can do >> this cement >> when they were mixing cement. >> Yes, there's a block of cement. >> Blocks of cement. So I got to either go rent something to break it and do the
same thing. I'm going to throw it inside the house until we demolish the house because I rather it go with the dumpster than, >> you know, for me to go to a DPW to dump pieces of everything we have. >> Yeah, that's understandable. Anything
you can do >> anything on the back? Does that is that an objection? Whatever is back there because they >> There's a wheelbarrow. >> There's a wheelbarrow that they left behind. >> Yeah. Anything you can do to clean up the property so that the people in the neighborhood don't have anything to
complain to us inside of the house. >> That would be greatly appreciated. Yep. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. Thank you guys. >> Okay. Is that it then for to address? That's it for this one. All right. Thank you very much. >> Uhhuh. Thank you.
