PowerPoint to the clerk as exhibit a the violation is located at 117 Waverly Drive in s County Florida the violation charge is semal county code chapter 95 section 95.4 as defined in 95.3 abandoned or junk
Vehicles the initial inspection was on May 6 2024 notices to respondents were May 21st and June 4th 2024 the compliance stes were June 4th and June 19th
2024 followup inspections were May 20th 2024 through an included yesterday February 26 2025 results of the follow-up inspections where the abandoned or junk vehicle violation remains on subject subject
property this is an image from the initial inspection on May 6th 2024 you can see the boat with no propeller just in the driveway or the yard a follow-up inspection on May
20th uh same images or the propellers missing from the boat followup inspection on June 4th the boat Still Remains followup inspection on June 19th the propeller still missing boat remains
same condition this is yesterday's inspection the boat Still Remains so the suggested recommendation is based on the testimony and evidence presented in case number 20 -2- CB it is
determined that a respondent far Farzad mad is the owner of record of property located at 117 Waverly Drive located in semal County as determined by the property appraiser records is in possession or control the property and is in violation of s county code chapter
95 section 95.4 as defined in 95.3 it is further recommended that the code enforcement board issue an order for the respondent to correct the violation onor before midnight of March 14th 2025 in order to correct the violation the respondent must remove or repair in operable vehicles or store
them in an enclosed garage or permitted attached carport if the respondent does not comply with the order of final $100 will be imposed for each day the violation continues or is repeated after compliance this concludes my presentation thank you questions R
there yeah the dates that you're saying one one one moment sir you you'll get to go here in just a moment officer Dar can that boat be parked there even if had a propeller on it yes so all I have to do is put a
propeller on sir I'll get you in just just a moment here sir we've got to finish our presentation first a sir d uh so this it's on the uh the code that's usually for abandoned vehicles I guess
the is the supplies as a vehicle correct okay and all it takes is to be operable correct okay uh we're almost there any other questions
S I thought I heard no sir this is your opportunity so it's because it doesn't have a propeller yeah he just read seriously seriously propeller off to have it uh fixed up it was all dented up and chipped up
right do you have the copy of the code in front of you 90 uh yeah plus the dates are prior to this where it says I've met compliance on October 24 these are dates prior to that what is this what are you pointing at the
October 24 anything you show becomes a part of the court file so you can't have it letter from seone County October 30th 2024 it says I'm in compliance these are dates prior to that and I got two propellers for that
thing I took them off so the weather doesn't mess them up regardless of the propeller that was the only indication of it being inoperable besides from the vegetation growing inside the hole it needs to be proven operable and capable of moving you just responded to him saying all it
needs is a propeller you just responded to him the code States it needs to be operable sir when is the last time you took this boat out and put it on the water maybe a year and a half ago or something like that two years
ago but I already told him yesterday that it's been donated to the veterans whoever whatever it is some website I picked up on line he saw the email or text messages do do you have a date when this vehicle is supposed to be picked up um they were supposed to pick it up two
weeks ago and I keep text messaging back and forth and they're saying next couple days they keep saying that so in theory uh you could easily comply with this resolution of March 14 then it be they should be able to they should be able to pick it up I mean it's
already been donated it's just waiting for them to pick it up thank you have you seen this I don't believe I have let the inspector see it so he can refer to it Mr D I know you uh took over this region is this letter of compliance
after you've had a chance to look at it of course from from the uh from the previous code enforcement officer for that area yes right so this was um an old case from Dorothy herd the officer for
me back in 2021 it appears 21 correct says 2024 on there that's the date on the cover letter but the Affidavit of non or Affidavit of compliance is from a matter dating in 2021 so it's not this case Mr D are you aware of um
previous code enforcement violations with this homeowner yes um so there are a couple old cases clearly this one from Dorothy herd for it appears to be the same violation and I believe there was an
older one for rubbish as well but I could be mistaken the one that's similar case number begins with 21 on there yes 21 - 55-c okay so obviously so it appears
that's that's an older case uh as a matter of fact this could have been considered as a repeat violation because it's within the five years but it it's not so it's simply a new case similar issued appears to be but it sounds like you can be in compliance within the
recommended date as Mr sinon pointed out I believe uh do we uh everything I said sound accurate so far I guess I okay U given that he says he can comply
with this in the time uh frame that's been asked for here I'll move that we accept staff's recommendation of uh compliance state of March 14th um and if the respondent does not comply a fine of $100 uh per day second motion Mr sign
second uh by Mr Bates uh to we set status record recommendation with the compliance date of March 14th or $100 day fine would be uh imposed to that time all in favor say I I that's what we've done sir it sounds
like you can resolve this thing as you've already had plan yeah the thing is it's for over 20 years somebody's been harassing me and calling you guys like almost monthly or whatever it is M and somebody I even told him somebody's been harassing me you can look into your records and I asked them who it is I
asked Dorothy who it is nobody wants to tell me who it is we're unable harassment now at this point it's harassment over 20 years it's harassment okay moving us to the next case it's the second item on that same

my presentation thank you any questions profer Hill seeing none Mr Mrs heppler this is your opportunity to speak to this the uh you heard the presentation and what the recommendations are on both of these issues you can address them in whatever order you'd like my question is what
phone number is she calling cuz we didn't get no phone call so he hasn't would you like we need you sworn in yeah s sir if he could stand up have you both been sworn in okay sir Raise Your Right
testimony thank you I don't want to say your whole phone number over the air but the last four digits were 4745 yep that's myself y left a voicemail so in regards to the recommendation to have these items two
different cases each one deadline March 14th or the fines kick in each one that's what we we need to figure out here I have a cont contractor coming in to put a new fence up because the
reason I'm kind of out of money because I I own 250 also next door and I just got it remodeled so it just takes me a little more time that's all I just don't want to be in
trouble I'm just letting you know what the date works for you yeah yeah that's um the backyard I'm going to work on it gradually this is my mom's old house uh it's been deserted for years
um kind of a weird story um my mother passed in 2020 um 4 weeks later my father passed and my the will went into probate
for like 16 months so I had to wait and see see what I had to do with the properties and everything so I'm doing little by little as I can cuz everything costs money but it sounds like you're okay
with the March 14th yes that's fine but I am putting a new fence up is this your this your primary res is this or 250 either one your primary residence that house is deserted I'm just trying to bring new
life to it later officer Hill do we have any cases that you're aware of on 250 she did Third Street she did have open cases on that property as well but they did come into compliance so this person has
been either before the board or before you before and has done what they needed to do so both cases this property and the property next door were opened at the same time just the other property did come into compliance and this one did not thank you and well I'm sorry one more question uh
officer Hill can you tell us what you're recommending for uh 25-06 it was it was for fense so $100 $100 per day and was a compliance the same compliance date March 14th or 100 a
day so this could potentially be the $150 for every day they say they're going to try to get compliance in compliance they have a history of um getting a property into compliance $100 a day to me sounds like a lot especially
when they have two things to that they have to deal with here so uh I'm going to move that uh in the case of 25-06 uh that we accept staff's recommendation of compliance date of March 14th with a fine of $50 a day um
you know that way in case they don't make it okay we have a sound second motion on the table for we're talking at this point at case number 25-06
CB uh motion to accept s recommendation as presented however with a reduction of the proposed fine to $50 a day from the $100 a day motion by Mr signning second by Mr Bates any discussion all in favor say I I oppos so the motion carries uh
the second one do we have any thoughts uh I I'll move that we accept staff's recommendation of a compliance date of March 14th with a fine of $50 per day uh if that compliance date is not reached second motion by Mr sign and
second by Mr Bates on the second one to accept exactly as presented a compliance date of March 14th or $50 a day all in favor say I I oppos so what we've done uh sounds like you don't have to worry about any of it as long as you get this
stuff done and thank you for everything you've done it sounds like you you deal with it I don't like trouble so I stay out of it see I'm not you know 19 like I was so I stay out of it so it's your responsibility to reach out to the inspector when you believe you're in
compliance if she doesn't hear from you she can't close out the case Okay so as soon as you're in compliance and you don't need to wait for both to be done you can call one at a time and make sure that you have her contact and she has your proper contact information good luck thank you so much thank you wish we
had all all respondents that dealt with as fast as you did okay nobody else signed in no okay we'll just move on folks uh get out of here relatively soon I think next case
