date of August 23rd, 2025. And I see the corrective action was clean out the pond bottom inlet pipes, grates, and mitered insections of any garbage, sediment, and vegetation by no later than August 23. All right.

with an update on August 25th. The pond was still in violation at that time. So, a notice of hearing was sent with a hearing date of today, September 25th, 2025. >> Right. So, there's three ponds.
>> Just No, just two on this property. >> Just two. >> Mhm. And then page six is the certified mail receipt for the notice of hearing. And then page seven would be the certified green card return signed. >> Okay. And the corrective action is the same in
both. >> Yes sir. All right. Anyone else have anything to submit on this behalf? >> Uh, we do have Cameron here to speak on both ponds as well for this property. Right. Mr. Pedo, would you state your full

both ponds 121.2 2 and 491 were found to not be in compliance. Uh the initial inspection for both ponds was conducted on May 8th and the first point of communication with Epic Real Estate Partners occurred on September 4th,
2024. I spoke with or 2025, apologies. I spoke with Colleen Meyer, uh the property manager, and sent all pawn inspections, historical inspections, and asbuilt documents through email. I met with the development manager uh last

provide uh notice to proceed in the next few days and work will begin and estimated to be done by October 3rd. >> October 3rd. Yes sir. I have two packets of information uh to submit. One being

The 15page document and evidence of cities exhibit number four. Right. Which one of the these do you want me to take a look at first, Mr. We can start with 121.2. >> All right. Go ahead.
>> The initial inspection for this property was done on May 8th, which can be found on pages 1 through five. The pond was found to have uh excessive garbage in the pond area. And on
May 12th, 2025, I sent a letter to HVP Epic Alfa LLC to clean the garbage out of the pond area, which can be found on page six. On page seven, you can find the
>> One moment. Yep. All right, go ahead. >> On page seven, uh you will find the asbuilt documentation of the property which was also included in the initial letter I sent to the uh property owner.

referred to code enforcement with a compliance date of August 24th. On page 14, you will find the follow-up inspection. and I conducted on August 25th for code enforcement where the pond was found to still not be in compliance.
>> Okay. And let's take a look at uh number pawn 491. First, let me uh find that again I note that there's no one here representing the respondent today, but I do find that
all notices required by Florida statute and ordinance uh have been given to them. Okay, let's go ahead with 491. Pawn 491 was also inspected on May 8th, 2025, which can be found on page 1
through six. The pond bottom was found to be extremely overgrown. The miter end sections were filled with sediment and there were also trees growing in the pond bottom and the inlet grates were
also uh completely clogged. On May 12th, 2025, I sent a letter to HVP Epic Alfa LLC to clean the vegetation and sediment in the pond mitered end sections to remove the
vegetation and sediment in the inland pipe and grates and to remove the overgrown vegetation in the pond bottom. On page eight, nine, eight, and nine, you will find the
historical inspection I included in the original letter so that they could see the condition the pond should be in. And on page 10, you will see the follow-up inspection I conducted on July
16th, 2025, which the pawn was found to still not be in compliance, and it was then referred to code enforcement with a compliance date of August 23rd. On page 15, you'll find the follow-up inspection I conducted for code
enforcement on August 25th, 2025, where the pond was found to have no visible uh maintenance done to it and was still not in compliance. >> Looks mostly weeds. >> Yes, sir.
