Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Uh, our next meeting will be September 10th, 2025. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, the municipal code enforcement board is charged with
conducting hearings to determine whether an alleged violation of the city code has occurred. Decisions made by this quasi judicial board will be based on the evidence and facts presented tonight. Our meetings are conducted in accordance with Robert's rules of order,
and each case will begin with the city presenting its evidence of the alleged violation. The respondent will then present his or her case. Both parties will have an opportunity to cross-examine all witnesses. The board members may question any witness. Comments by both parties must be
relevant to the case. Persons wishing to speak will be given an opportunity to do so by the chairman and must address the board from the podium after giving their name and address. Upon request, copies of material submitted by staff are available for review.
Board members are reminded to obtain permission to speak from the chair and questions of the city should be directed to the attorney for the city. At this time, I will ask all persons who expect to give testimony tonight to stand and be sworn in by the city clerk.
The echo I think is from the court reporter. I think it's I think it's coming from the court. Those are just recorders. Yeah, I think that's interfering. Please raise your right hand. Volume on the TV. Do you swear or affirm that the
testimony you will provide the board tonight will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Scott anywhere. All right. So, the cases will be taken out of order tonight. So, if you want to
pull out your agenda, we'll go through those. Uh on the second page, uh case 25-2901. That's case number one. Case number two is 25-2225
again on the second page. On the first page, case number three will be 25-20001. And the remaining new cases will be taken in order after that. But we do have two uh repeat or
excuse me, two unfinished business cases that need to be uh taken out of order. So number four will be on page two, case number 25-1963. And case number five will be 25-1944. Okay,
you got that, Rod? The one before that number four. Number number four was 25-1963 under unfinished business. Okay. Uh so there will be a threeminut time
limit imposed on all comments from the public. Appropriate dress when appearing before the board is appreciated. Cell phones must be turned off before or during the meeting. So we're going to do the exparte communications part now. So at this time I would like to ask board members if
they have had any exparte communication regarding any matters coming before the code enforcement code enforcement board this evening. If you have had verbal communications, please discuss the sum and substance of these communications, when and where the communications occurred, and with whom it occurred. If
you have received any written communications, please disclose the nature of the communications and provide it to the city clerk to be filed in the record. I've had none. I've had none. I've had none. I've had none. I've had none. I've had none.
Next, we'll move to approval of the minutes from the I think the June 11th meeting since we had a workshop last month. Uh, have all board have all board members received the minutes of the June 11th, 2025 meeting? Yes. Yep. If the minutes are acceptable, I would
entertain a motion to approve the minutes. Motion to approve the minutes. Second. Second. So, call for a vote. Uh, all in favor say I. opposed. No nays. Motion passes.
So I think we're ready for the first case. Case number 25-2901. City versus Eddie Antonio Vabiraa Escobar. Violation is section 12-768A1 tree unlawful removal and section
12-763- tree removal penalty. Sight of violation was 6125 Liberty Avenue. Good evening everyone. My name is Karina Fuller. I've been retained to represent the respondent in this case. had an
opportunity to speak with uh the city attorney and I believe he has an announcement. Good evening board. Tonight uh the respondents provided a arborist letter, a certified ISA arborist letter that meets the qualifications of the state
statute. So we'll be dismissing this case. Oh, okay. Thank you. So we need to go through a dismiss a formal dismissal or No, we're going to we're dismissing dismissing. The city is Yes. Okay. Right. Thank you. I have nothing before the
board. I'm going to be excused. Thank you. Just so don't know how far it just wanted to be respectful. All right. Well, all right. So, that was easy. I was excited. I thought it was a tree case. We're going to kind of get exercise your
knowledge. All right. We have some knowledge now. Ready for the next case. Case number 25-225, city versus Raymond Bunda and Sha Shassi Natalie Barenda for the property located
at 7504 North Santael Circle. This case is before the board based on alleged violation of section 10-34 sanitation premises clean. The case will be prosecuted this evening by code compliance officer Danielle Bat. The
city has evidence that the notice of violation and notice of hearing were properly served. Good evening. I'm officer Bat with Code Compliance. This case this evening was initiated by me on May 27th, 2025 in violation of the city code of ordinance
with a courtesy door hanger allowing time to correct prior to further enforcement. The code section is 10-34 for the failure to keep premises clean with a pile of debris on the side of the dwelling. On June 16th, 2025, upon reinspection, the violation continued. So, a notice of
violation was created with a reinspection date of July 1st, 2025, and posted to the subject property requested posting to city hall on the electronic board and sent certified mail and regular mail to address of record. Upon
reinspection on July 21st, 2025, the violation continued. So, a notice of hearing was created and on July 22nd, 2025, posted to the subject property requesting posting to city hall on the electronic board for the 10-day
requirement and sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record. As of my last inspection on August 1st, 2025, the violation was brought into compliance. And at this time I would like to submit evidence for case number 25-25 22225
supporting the case and asking finding a fact and upon order orders issued I would close the case. You may submit. So are there any questions for the you said it is in compliance right? is uh
you will see in exhibit one there's a copy of notice of violation with an affidate of posting as well as photos. Exhibit two is going to be a copy of notice of hearing an affid with affidavit of posting and photos. And exhibit three is a copy copy of the affidavit of compliance and photos of
reinspection from August 1st, 2025 prior to today's hearing. So may I ask you a question? Absolutely. Yeah. What it took it so long to come in compliance? I mean, you you gave him ample I think I apologize. I believe a lot of
it was actually a communication lapse. Um because once upon received the actual notices or visited the home at some point, I I believe that's when it was quicker to get resolved. Thank you.
So is assume because of the number the second is is the respondent here. Would you like to speak or you don't have to if you don't want to? No, no, no, no. I I'll come up here. So, we were we were the property managers name. No, Anthony Galves, Topaz Realy Property
Management, and we represent the owner. And once we found out that there these defects were, you know, happening, they were corrected, and in fact, they just cut the grass the last day. But the whole place is now clean, the perimeter of the building is, and no trash like
you saw in the pictures. Okay. Awesome. And any any questions for the respondent? May I make a motion? Go ahead, Rodney. Go for it. You you can sit down be seated if you want or No, I can go now. Right.
You can you can enter an order. Okay. Yeah. You might want to stay just for the official compliance. In case number 25-22 22 222 uh5 city versus uh Ramen u I move
that the city has proven by the greater weight of evidence the following violations of the city of Tumblr city code did exist on the property located at 75014 North Senable Circle with with the
applicable code violation section 10-34. This motion is based on the swan's testimony this board has received from the code enforcement officer along with any other evidence including photos, affidavit, and the notice of violation of which received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further
move that there be no fine imposed because the violations were brought into compliance prior to the date of this hearing. Any further discussion on this? I'll second it. Okay, second. Yeah, sorry. I I got it. I got my Robert Robert's rules of order out.
Oh, sorry. That's okay. All right. So, any further discussion? Seeing none, I'll ask for a vote. All in favor say I. Opposed? No. Nays. Motion passes. So, you're you're Yeah, you're good to go.
Thanks. Okay, great. Awesome. All right. So, we're on to case number three. Okay. Case number 25-20001, city versus Deborah E. Holton Fiser and James H. Fiser for the property located
at 511 Gard Drive. This case is before the board based on alleged violation of section 8-10213P structural supports section 8-10213C roofs section 8102-
or excuse me 8-10213B exterior walls and section 8-10213H windows and exterior doors. This case will be prosecuted this evening by code compliance officer Doug Allen. The city has evidence that the notice of
violation and the notice of hearing were properly served. Good evening, Mr. Vice Chairman and board members. Doug Allen, code compliance officer. This case was originated by me on May 13th, 2025 for damaged structural supports, damaged roof, and damaged exterior walls and a
damaged garage door caused by a tree from the hurricane. I left a door hanger with a reinspection date of May 31st, 2025. My reinspection on June 5th showed no change. So I generated a notice of violation on that date with a
reinspection date of July 7th, 2025. I posted a notice at the property and a copy was posted at city hall in the electronic board for the 10-day requirement and copies were mailed both certified and regular mail to the address of the owner of record. A reinspection on July 24th showed no
change. So I prepared a notice of hearing on that date and the case was scheduled for the August municipal code board meeting. This time I'd like to submit photographic evidence taken by me on June 5th and July 25th, 2025. You may submit. All right. Exhibit one will show the
posting of the notice of violation. Exhibit two will show the posting of the hearing notice. Exhibit number three will show the damaged garage door and structural supports. Exhibit number four will show the damaged roof and uh walls.
And exhibit number five will show ex damaged roof and structural supports. This site is not in compliance and I'm seeking a ruling. So none of the four violations? No, sir. Nothing's changed at this point. Okay. Do we have any
questions for the code officer? Have you Have you been in contact? Have they been in contact with you? The owners? They haven't been in contact with me, but I believe they did speak to our director. Are they here? Oh, yeah. Are they here? Yeah, the respondents are here.
Can I? Yeah. Uh, so they're still occupying the home as far as I know. Yes, sir. Okay. As far as the structural supports, how how do we have any verification that I mean it looks like it's damaged, but
any have there been any inspections from the city side or anything to verify that at all? That would be a question for the building inspector. Okay. But it appears that most of the damage is more to the garage part of the building than it is the the structure of the house. Okay.
Anything else? One question, let me speak. Uh, is it a detached garage? No, it's not detached. I mean, it does stick out somewhat from the rest of the residence, but it does appear to be attached to the in the back of the the
garage area. So, and then exhibit number four, uh, can you explain that for me? It's the the garage is right on the right. Yep. And uh what's that wall between standalone wall
or something? Yeah, it's like a I would call it a decorative privacy wall. It runs parallel to the sidewalk and then the home after that. Well, the sidewalk that's leading that's the entry sidewalk and it turns and makes 90° angle to the front door.
Okay. The front door would be just to the left of that photo. You can see the sidewalk there. and then is dead end. She takes a right or an emergency right or immediate right and that leads you to the front door. It's like a little courtyard area
behind that damaged wooden wall, fence, whatever you'd like to have it termed as. Okay. So, is there any u damage to the house structure itself? Doesn't appear to be. From what I can see, most of it the garage and that
little decorative wall took the brunt of it, I would say. one. Um, you can see tarps on the roof. Have there been any other mitigation uh tactics or anything that you know to or any other attempts to repair it all? I mean, it looks just like those photos.
Okay. That's it for me. What total violations, right? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Can we hear from the director as to the conversations he had with the owner? Yes, please. Good afternoon, vice chair and board. Uh
I did have a conversation with the uh the property owners uh and we expressed our interest in bringing this home into compliance uh for them as well as the uh the neighbors. The uh there's also a safety aspect that goes along with that. Uh during the conversation, uh the
property owner uh Mr. Fiser informed me that they had he had contacted a contractor that day. Um, and this was several weeks ago and we still haven't seen any any movement on the property since then. I'm sorry. Have or have not? Have not. Thank you.
What What type of safety issues were just because of not not for the house it for the house itself or for the for for traversing? So the the car continues to park in the driveway. Um there there's been things that have leaned on the car uh from time to time.
Um and then they're moved out of the way again. Uh not to mention that there's people living in the home. They're traversing that area. It's it's a safety hazard as a as a whole um from from our perspective. Okay. Okay. Thanks. Any any other
questions for Okay. So I guess uh would the respondents like to I'd like to speak. Sure. Yeah. Well, the the homeowner. Oh, would the homeowner be first? I do. We want to verify. Is this the homeowner? I don't know
who's who here as far as Are you just the neighbor or you? I'm next door neighbor. Okay. One second. Because we need to have we need to respond the homeowners first. And the other issue is going to be this is a quasi judicial hearing. So, it really isn't open to the public to come
up and just speak. Can I? And so I I'm not sure how we're going to handle that unless I begin to ask them questions so that they become witnesses. Um otherwise we have a quasi judicial hearing here. Have we've had neighbors come and speak before though, right? To my knowledge, it's always been as
they were a witness. Um I'm not I'm trying, you know, because again, this is quasi judicial, not like legislative, not like city council where people come up and have a public comment time. This is actually a quasi judicial hearing. Can we? So, um I can what we can do is in order
to get them I'll call them as witnesses. All right. After we've heard from the respondents. Okay. I can speak. Oh, not yet. We need to hear from the respondent from the owners first. I'm getting in. My name is James
Fischer. I'm the one of the homeowners. address is 511 Gard Drive. Thank you. Okay. Um, first of all, I want to thank the um the city for their good advice and support in a couple of different
conversations that we've had from Jack with uh with the board and also Dallas Foss who who uh was also able to give us some good common sense support in the visit that he made. Uh yes, we do have u
a lot of damage to a garage that if uh the windshare from that storm had had not blown all the trees in the neighborhood down to the southwest but down to the south, it would have completely cut our house in in half. as
it is now. It's basically the garage and we uh we have t taken steps to um have a little bit of mitigation that has happened since you've seen the place uh for a an incidental damage to the roof
and the main building. But, um, I'm I'm here to either give you a a full timeline of what we what's been going on on the project or would you like to just know what what things have happened in recent the recent uh days?
I can do either one. I think the timeline would be preferable, right? I think just to give us because you know background on background information. Okay. First of all, we took um it took three different instances of two different tree companies to get this
enormous tree uh dealt with the uh canopy off the roof of the garage, the fallen part of the tree out of the side of the garage and then the remaining half of the tree out of the yard. that
took us because of the well that just took us five months to effect between October and midFebruary. So there's that block of time. One of our one of the contractors was not up to uh it was out
of his depth as far as getting that that tree taken out. Um, at that point we also talked to our financial institution and our insurance company to get the process of of getting a a a settlement
from the insurance company and of course before that getting a um a claim done for the for the structure there. And pardon me that took another its own block of time of course as the uh the
the adjuster was there for most of like six hours. It was a kind of a complicated thing. So at that point we also had the good luck of finding a good
contractor. Uh actually uh the contractor was uh recommended by several of our friends and even even our neighbor. Um and we have a copy here of a contract for the demolishing and the
rebuilding of the garage. And we also have a copy of the check for um the earnest money that we put down as a first payment for that contractor. We have a general contractor. Imperial
Southern Construction has uh taken on the project and they are the ones that have informed me um that um we are basically now waiting for the city and the engineer to
uh sign off on the project and and then we can pull permits. So basically balls out of our court. are waiting for for that to happen and then when that happens we start tearing the place down
and rebuilding it uh in earnest. Um one side comment is the small incidental damages to the to the roof that have been uh addressed will be permanently repaired once the garage is rebuilt and
then uh the the roofer can take care of both things at once. So that's pretty common sense the way it goes. So that that is um that is where we are at at this point. We're waiting on engineers and permits. If you if any of you'd like
a copy of the contract that we signed your way that the record I don't think it would hurt that's a copy. It's a copy you can have. Yeah. Please speak uh Mr. Kos. shows the fact that of all the people
here present, we want what you want and we probably want it worse than you want. Okay. So, that's the paperwork says we we are on board. We're trying to get this taken care of and we're just waiting on on the permits.
So, I think we had one one question from Okay. Um you're mentioning that did you submit plans to the city with for permitting or you still in the process of doing the engineering? According to my contractor and he
unfortunately he's not here tonight but u he said that he is waiting on the engineer to sign off on the project project. That's all he's told me. So so so we probably need to talk to the building inspector. will ask the the
city if they have any permits submitted on your behalf. Engineering plans. The other question, yeah, architectural plans. Yeah. The other question, do you have any damage inside the home? The portion that you mentioned that there is attached to the garage. Do you have any
leaks, water coming in or There was some drywall damage to a ceiling that um again on the edges of the garage, but those have been uh those Those are temporarily repaired because
of what has been put on top of the roof. And we're happy with that. We we've been safely in that building since since the storm with a full utilities and and a safe environment. Uh it looks worse a lot worse on the outside, but that's
where we're at. So, any other questions? I'd like to hear from Dallas. I'd like to hear from Dallas. Yeah. Well, let's I don't know how. Do you want to call witnesses first or how do we proceed with
No, let's uh the city uh the building official have any questions for him? Okay. All right. So, thank you. Thank you. Good evening, Dallas building officials. You have I have been to the the been
there looked at it when the tree was on it. Now the tree's off the garage does have to the actual structure itself has may have minor damage but nothing major nothing that the big question that I have then once we can get look at it is
the west wall of the garage is where the electrical feed for the home is. That wall has been damaged. So the where the panel is. Yeah. Everything's it's out it's exterior mounted panel. So that wall is actually been whacked
pretty good and bowed. But I couldn't you couldn't get in the garage to get in there safely. So that's why it's in question. Rod. I'm going to ask you please to Yeah. Just ask for permit. Okay. Once we don't want the
we get down the road, the contractor, the engineer that's going to do the design work will be in there be able to tell us what's going on with that. But obviously there doesn't seem to be any issues with electrical at this time because they're still living there and we haven't seen anything come up. You have any other questions?
Yeah, I know one question was the uh were there architectural drawings that were submitted to the city? Submitted at this time? Nothing has been submitted. So even though problem is is they're getting the plans are probably getting designed. They have to be signed and sealed by an engineer architect then they can submit them.
They're probably in that still in that stage. If you just sign a contract recently it can take three two to three months to get that done depending upon what the integrity of it is. So the contractor would submit the yes the architectural stuff sort of seems backwards to me. Plans permits everything come out at the
same time. Okay. That's done by the contractor of record. All right. So you guys don't have anything? Not at this time at this. So he was saying that the city he was waiting on the city to approve something, but I don't I don't know what that would be that nothing's been submitted. We have we can't approve it till it gets submitted.
Okay. So I was going to ask the same thing, you know, because he said he put me under the impression that the plans have been submitted. They're waiting on the city, right? So that's that nothing is submitted at all. Not at this time.
Okay. Um, just one question with the electrical. You said where the panel is, the wall is bowed and all that. Has anyone inspected the electrical on that to make sure that it's not to my knowledge? I have not. Okay. The with the roof damage and everything
that's done to the garage. Yeah. It's probably unsafe to go in it to get in there to look at it. Right. Cuz you're going to enter through where the tree hit. Right. Right. I'm not taking that chance. That's right. I think you're saying that the the garage could possibly be repaired,
although I think the respondent said it was this garage needs it that portion it's a it's attached by probably maybe 10 ft of a rear wall, but everything else is freestanding. It'll come down and get a new one built. Okay. So, it will go to the ground.
I misheard what you said then. So, okay. Anything else? I'm good. All right. Thanks. So we So did we want to proceed with either bring the respondent back up and have
them explain the discrepancy that we're hearing? I would do that first because again with our neighbors that are here, which I'll actually ask them to kind of stand up so you can see how many are here. But again keeping in mind this quasi judicial and
what you'll be weighing is uh you know actions taken by the violator to uh correct the violation the gravity of the violation and whether there's been previous violations. Those are really what you have to weigh when you
come to your decision. So um if I can have everybody keep that in mind. I know you want to speak, but those are going to be the things that are going to be relevant for the board. All right. So, when the time comes, but uh if you want to call up the respondent
again. Did he remember? Did was there a letter that the respondent submitted as well? Could we pass that? Yeah. Yeah. The I just haven't had a chance to review all that. Mr. Fischer, if you could come back up here. Thanks.
I saw that I did that. Yes, sir. So, the question is we're getting your side of the story is that you've already submitted paperwork or something to the city waiting for approval. The city's saying they haven't received anything from
your contractor or yourself. So I I what I do know is that the contractor uh has spent an enormous amount of time trying to do this, right? And he has he has gone through the the the structure
and he has um he has talked about engineering and and um architectural uh requirements. But those are some things those are things I don't know much about. And um he's simply telling
me that he's he he understands that there's a backlog with the engineer that will take it till at least the end of this month if not more. Uh but that's really all I know. Um,
I'm I'm not really well verssed in in what the architect and the engineer do to to approve a project, but that's where I understand we're at is waiting on that end of the of the process. So, it sounds like we're waiting on the contractor, not the city. So, that's
or it could be both. I have no idea. It it sound if I if I may it sounds like it's the engineer because like you said that is typical that you have to get the engineering plans and there's that's as I understand it. Yes. Um now I know that you mentioned um there was time just to get the tree off
and then the insurance claim and all that. Um is all of that what pushed this back because the contract is dated you know just July. Um, was there any reason aside from those things that the St. the Stats family that owns the
uh contracting firm, they they did a lot of of putting pieces together, talking with their own subcontractors, talk getting consultations as to what they can do for us and that took all its own amount of time. Okay. Has the contractor giving you any
indication about when this might be completed? when u I know there's drawings that have to be submitted and the city has to approve it and all that stuff, but uh have they given you any timeline at all as far as when this might be completed?
Um I have no idea. All I know is that they're they're trying to figure out what they can do before permits are pulled and and then start in earnest when the permits are pulled. Um he's already talked about a dumpster and
and we have to get some debris out of the structure of course, but um there I've heard no set uh date or even a a general ballpark idea. We've just
started this this process and given earnest money a month ago. So Okay. Any any other Can I ask a question because here's the part that I'm the this occurred during Hurricane Milton, correct? Yes. Which was first or second week of
October. Mhm. And it looks like the contracts aren't until July. Don't understand why it's taken so long to get this moving forward. Um well it
a lot of it is just the cumulative effect of the time it took to get the tree removed and to take care of that part of it and then get the insurance people to file a claim and get that claim taken care of. U you know and we
do have a settlement that's uh adequate for the project. Um and and then of again the the U contractor has also spent a lot of time trying to do this right, try to figure out what they
they can do for us and some of that's outlined in the in the contract. But um it's it's regrettable it's taken this long, but it's also, you know, we we would rather have it all tied up and done before hurricane season started,
but just wasn't going to happen. Um, but we do have a a general contractor in place. We have we have uh money forward and that's that's as much as I can tell you. Yes.
As a contractor myself, I mean this process that you're talking about unfortunately is pretty normal and it's lengthy when you're dealing with the insurance that could take months. That's 6 8 n months. Then you pending on engineering plans as well to sealed and
approved get Florida product approvals and all this is done before a permit is is uh applied for. Uh so what I when I hear the gentleman talking about this unfortunately due to the gravity of multiple homes that have been impacted
by the hurricane, this is the norm right now. The hur the insurance process may take up to nine. I'm still dealing with homeowners right now that are still waiting for insurance proceeds right now. Uh so I understand ourselves fortunate that we were able to
get a a settlement. Yeah. Correct. Did you have a a question or No, I just wanted to just share you know just comment on the fact that what I'm hearing um is it's unfortunately the norm right now for the process.
Just one one question. Yeah. Were did they give a timeline once work commences for the project? And I know that every project can take longer than expected, but is this a month-long process once work starts? You know, once everything's approved, the all of that.
Um, normally they can give you some sort of ballpark on that. I wish I could tell you that. Um, I can ask our contractor going forward to get in touch with you and give you a better idea. Um, but I I really couldn't commit
to that sort of of timeline. I I would hope as you would hope that it would be as soon as possible. Um, and what what is as as you were saying what's possible sometimes takes a while. Um,
we're just asking your forbearance to to let our new contractor do what he needs to do. And then again, we're waiting to do the right thing. We're waiting to get the uh get the permits, get get things going because that's what we want.
All right. Any other questions? All right. Thank you. Okay. Is there anything else that the the city would like to contribute to this discussion as far as um
Not really. Not at this time. Thank you. Okay. All right. All right. So, um I guess we're ready to unless I guess we're ready for a motion. Did we have witnesses? Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah.
Okay. Um sorry. I'd like to hear from from Douglas as to why if this happened back in October, why it's now just being brought to the board in June. Well, he's the respondent
did reply about he said that it took five months to get to get the tree off of the off the house basically or off the garage basically as part of it and then there was a an insurance settlement too. So I I'm not sure if that's an adequate answer. I'm just you know and that was a lot of people who have
been going through that same issue. So yeah. So anyway, but if you'd like to bring him Oh, that that's fine. Uh for the benefit of the neighbors, if everybody who's here on this case that are neighbors, if you could just stand
up and identify yourself so the board has an understanding of the impact this is having. All right. Now, again, keeping in mind that this is a quasi judicial hearing and they have to
uh process and and and apply facts. Does anybody have any factual information that they would like to provide to the board? I have questions. That isn't the role of the a that's the
role of everybody of the city and of the board. Um I totally understand the impact on this. Do you have anything factual that you would like to add? Just a question. I can't do questions.
I'm concerned about the interior of the house that there might be mold and mildew. There's a small child there and I'm concerned if there's been any inspection by my neighbors for the safety of the the folks inside. It was like a bomb went off when that happened. All right. If the board would like to
ask that question of the respondent, then um the board may do so. I think we asked a lot of safety. We did ask some, but I I guess I could ask the respondent. Well, everybody can seat. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave stand.
Well, I can ask one more. Um, when the insurance company came out and the adjuster was out there, did they do an inspection of the main living home as well? Yes. Did they identify any concerns, health or safety concerns to your
knowledge? No. Okay. It was it all was to the garage and and to be perfectly clear, nobody's living in the garage either past or present. So, okay, that's Yeah, exactly that. And again,
we're extremely fortunate that the the wind shear did not come straight south and cut the whole place in half. Um we're again, we're just we want this as much as anybody else to get that take taken care of. But we do have we do have
family in the house and everything is normal there. So yeah. Do you do you have any uh roof leaks? Any moisture or water coming into the house? We had one that had to be remedied.
There's a nice uh f fairly sturdy patch just up from the the garage roof. And again, that will be uh permanently fixed when um when the new roof goes on. I was referring to the house itself, not the garage.
Yeah, there's a there's there is that one area that you can see it now that's it's been patched up fairly well by the contractor. Said that there was some some wall board that was damaged, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But, you know, everything's everything's
safe and livable all inside. Yeah. or we wouldn't have my my granddaughter living there. Yeah. One more question. Okay. Sure. Are you planning on remodeling inside the house? Remodeling inside the house. Remodeling the house inside? Not at this time. No.
Um but the drywall repair is part of the contract, too. Do all right. Can I ask a question? Sure. Um and if uh Mr. Shans, could you bring up the photographs of the um of the part
of the house that has the tarp on it? Yes, sir. Let's figure out what's going on with this tarp because it seems to be over the living is is part of that tarp over the uh area of the house where people live. No, that is what where is that tarp?
That's on the east side of the garage itself. The the big blue part that you see there. Well, the only question I have is it looks like there's a window back there and then the tarp up there is on a portion of the roof that's above the window. So, I'm guessing that that is living area. That is a that is a tarp that
deteriorated uh after a while. the original first uh tree company put the tarp up to try to make sure that the there was um um the the the rain the the
water uh from the entire roof was not going to affect the property. Uh, so we we had there was a big blue tarp on the top of there and we we were actually hoping to put a temporary roof on the garage, but through uh FEMA's project
blue roof, but the contractor said it wasn't safe to do. So, um, the remnant of that tarp is what you see there. It's it's it's just there to try to keep uh rain off the east side of the garage. All right, that's all I had.
Anything else? Thank Thanks. Thanks again. So, I think unless we want to ask for more. No one had any factual information and to bring anything else in I think would prejudice the your your Sounds good to me. All right. So, I
think we're ready for a motion. I'd like to make a motion. Okay. Thanks. In case number 2520001, I move the city as proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violations of the city of Temple Terrace Code exist on the property located at 511 Gerard Drive. And
yep, that is uh section 8-102 subsection 13 subsections P, C, B, and H. Um, this motion is based on the sworn testimony this board has received from the code enforcement officer Doug Allen, along with any other evidence, including photos, affidavit, and the notice of
violation, all of which is received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further move that said violation be corrected on or before September 9th, 2025. If the respondent does not comply with the order on or before that date, I order that they they are ordered to pay a fine each and every day of the violation continues past the
date set for compliance. Upon considering the following factors, the gravity of the violation, any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation, and any previous violations committed by the violator, I move that the fine be $25 per day. We have a motion. You have a second.
I'll second just so we can get to discussion. All right. So, we have a second. So, now can I explain myself before we get into the question? Absolutely. Um, I just wanted to make a motion that had a fine attached to it to encourage the respondent to come back in a month so that we can see if the contractor has filled the paperwork out,
filed. Yeah, things have gotten moving. Um, you know, I expect that at that time we'll we'll revisit this and possibly make a motion to extend that so that you can get the house fixed. That's I'm not looking to find the guy. I'm just looking to make sure we can stay on top
of it. Okay. I was uh Yeah, I agree with you. Um, I'd like to see a a um 30 days. I know at least we would know that the plans are ready, signed and sealed. They're in the hand of the city at least, you know, or maybe already a
permit pulled by this time that 30 days that will satisfy. That's I'm I am agreeing on the 30 days till our next meeting and you know how it is after that. Thank you. Absolutely agree that 30 we need to have him come back in 30 days. Yes,
Kia. I don't agree. I would like to see 60 only because I mean I recently had some permits pulled for a shed on my house. It took 30 days from the time I I
brought everything to the city to the time I actually got the permit. So, we're not even at that stage. So, if we're talking uh somebody I think it was you that mentioned it might be 30 days before
they can get the engineer and and the um the plans and everything to the city for approval. So, I mean, yes, I'd like to see movement, but I think 30 days
is not realistic in that it won't be at the city by then. Definitely won't get a permit by by 60 days. or 30 days. I mean, this I I like the 30 days because then we see what efforts have been made in that time
that even even if we have an understanding that it can take longer and I work in engineering. I was in insurance for a long time. I I know this process well. Um we can at least see the efforts. Uh you can put pressure on your contractor. You can try to ask
questions, double check things. there are things that homeowners can do. Uh and I think that's really what we're trying to to ask for uh from my understanding if you don't mind. Uh the contract is signed signed
in July almost. I'm I'm looking at the times a month ago. So things has to be and something some money is paid too. I think quite a bit also. Yeah. Huh. Quite a bit. So we want to see some motion. I agree with the one month. Let him come back in
one month and tell us where he's at. That would be the best way. I want this to be fixed as soon as possible because it's seems to me, you know, I'm I'm so far I I listened. I'm was concerned with safety. That's why I
asked a lot of I could not even I've never been at the site, but seems to me there's something happening inside where the garage is attaching to the building. That's so you know but from what we understand he had some kind of patching and he can
maintain that but we want it done as soon as possible. So one month I totally agree we need to have some see some signs of progress. Yes. Can I have one more thing? Sure. Just on a on a quick side note we can see the impact that it's had on the
neighborhood. I think this is us doing our jobs and making sure that you know people are being held accountable is all. Yes. Yeah. I mean this started in October right of the last year. So that we need to see some you know that contract is signed too.
So is there any just one other comment is there any concern about the the amount of the fine because usually I mean just to be consistent we usually apply for multiple violations like this. I would argue that this is really just
one find that, you know, it's the garage is broken, you know, and and I mean, we have multiple different subsections for the purposes of identifying those smaller things, but I noticed they were all letters, too. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's the same code. It's just, you know, subsection. So, you know, so so I would argue that and and again,
I mean there's, you know, that's if we look at it, the gravity of the violation, right? the the gravity of the violations out of the violator's hands at this, you know, they they've done a lot of their own due diligence, which leads to the actions that they've taken. Um, yeah, I I would like to see movement on the, you know, the electrical panel,
but aside from that, I think, you know, they're not they're not routinely in here for violations. So, they don't have any reoccurring things. They've taken a lot of action, and, you know, the the gravity here is more significant to them than it is to to the city. I think that that
All right. All right. So, are we ready for a vote? I all All in favor say I. I. Opposed? Nay. One. Nay. So, the motion passes. Four to, you know, five to one. All right.
So, Mr. Fiser, um, if you want to come up, we'll just try to explain it. I know you heard all of I know you're a smart guy so I don't think we need to explain too much but basically uh you found a violation uh and you have 30
days to correct the violation obvious chance odds are you're not going to get it completely done by then but you can always come back here to the next meeting to give us you know ask for an extension and we can't guarantee it'll be granted but that's that's the process
that we follow. So understood. Got it. Sure. Okay. All right. Thank you. So, I think I'm ready for We're on the unfinished business, right? Correct. Case number 25-1963
city versus Perez Rio and Kathleen Sarah Learner for the property located at 6006 Soaring Avenue. The deadline for compliance was August 13, 2025. Fine of $50 per day began August 14th,
2025. The violations of section 12-861E6 fences appearance section 10-3B sanitation grass weeds section 12-90013
pools safety barrier and section 12-91 pools duty to maintain not in compliance as of today. All all the violations or just were any
of them brought into compliance? We need uh none of none of them. We can Okay. None of them have been brought into compliance at this time. Okay. So, who was the uh code officer? Was it Oh, did did you have anything you wanted
to any sir? I believe that the house is either maybe under foreclosure, something's going on with the property. Did you come up to the come up to the Oh, the podium. Yeah. I believe that the attorney had said
something last time, Mr. Vice Chairman, um about this property um either is foreclosure, it's something is going on uh w with with the property. Um Ern able to tell you a little bit better, but I know that this came up um our last
meeting. Yeah. I'm trying to remember, but yeah. Right. If if I may. Yeah. Uh we did get a call earlier this week as the the home has actually deteriorated further since the last time I drove by on Monday this week. Uh and
now there's there's sighting flapping off the side of the home. Uh we got a call from a uh somebody who's going to be closing on this property on the uh 26th of August. So, there's a buyer for this property and I I believe he spoke to the uh city attorney as well um for
your consideration, but the house has not been repaired uh to date. When's he closing on it? August. August 26th. We wait for Do we wait for Ernie to I think we should
we could get a recess. Hold on. Thank you, ma'am. No problem. He's like he's he's busy under like um where it was I'm sorry board. Okay, let's go. We just
had some question about the the an unfinished business case. Uh 606 Soaring Avenue that there was Lori said there. Yes. Officer Smith said that somebody had contacted you possibly on that case.
I'm not the owner. Am I allowed to speak? Um yeah. What is your poster for property? Okay. Um, let me talk real quick because I do have some information on it. I know that they are trying to sell the house
now and I did send an email to the Was it Did you get a copy of that email? Yes. Okay. uh letting them know what the violations are that where the deadline is today because uh you know unless you guys extend the deadline they they are
aware that a $50 a day uh fine will start tomorrow because none of the violations have been corrected to my knowledge. Right. I've also made them aware of the previous violation in lean that's out there and um and the other
violation that hasn't even been cited yet which is siding up on the second story that's loose flap and has exposed the uh insulation right so I just want yeah so you guys have that update right now that's where
this is at and I think it's they're trying to do a short sale because it's in foreclosure I have a So yeah, I was just going to ask, so is there um public danger, public risk involved or health risk
involved with the flapping whatever whatever problems are on the house involved with the house? Is there the the new violation that hasn't been written yet, the uh the flapping siding, it appears to be on there pretty well. Uh if we get a significant uh storm, it
will come off. Uh but as of right now, it's it's it's on there. Okay. Thanks. Did any she does want I'm sorry, but if she does want to speak, she could certainly come up. Absolutely. Yes. Uh my question I I remember this
this case. Uh so we the the original owners are not here. We have the agent. Uh what what I'm trying to get at nothing is done at all uh with this
house. Um but uh if we going to extend the time I would like to extend the time but nobody's asking for extension. No they will. Oh well maybe I don't know I and I don't know if the realtor is the is authorized
to do such a thing but I will tell you I have been in touch. They know what the violations active violations are. Um, and I did if if they do correct them, um, you know, they'll be eligible
for a a lean reduction at some point, but um, anyhow, they do I just they know what the what the situation is. You said there was a previous lean on on on Yes, there is. Now, those violations were corrected. So, that's that's a
5,000 525 or something like that lean uh that's out there. Um, but they haven't they haven't asked for reduction. Well, I guess they I sent them a lean reduction application on that, but I know they're trying to do a short sale and there may be some light
shed on that from another week. Would you like to Okay. Uh, my name is Dana. Um, so I am representing I guess the buyer side and the seller side for the sale. It is the
26th of this month. Uh we were in a short sale process and pre-forclosure when I got the contract back in December. Zev came in uh February time frame and then we're able to finally get everything signed about April time frame. Um and he's been talking with the
banks to get everything with the pre-forclosure and he finally got everything resolved with them last month and that's how we're able to set the 26 for closing. Um and he's going to repair everything. He did get an estimate done and it's about 100,000 repair for the
home including siding, fencing, the pool and I do know that the current owners are in the process of divorcing and they also have a bank for uh bankruptcy also filing that they're going to be doing. So they're financially not in a place to do all the repairs on the home which is
why we're doing um the sale of the property. Any any questions from the realtor? I have a question. Um what do they want? Like what what are they asking for? Oh, um if we can have an extension um because the sale is the 26th of this
month. So then that the new owners can go in and start repairing the property. Okay. So a 30-day extension would be sufficient probably hopefully if the closing we can start getting some stuff at least uh the grass can be cut and the fence can be repaired. I know the pool might take a little bit more time, but at
least we can have some progress in the home for you guys um for the new owners and not the current owners to have financially be responsible for it. Right. Any other questions? Thank you. Thank you. So, uh need a motion for for either an
extension or a non-extension, whatever whatever you guys I would like to make a motion to extend it because that will u give the new owner the chance to correct it. I don't want to complicate things further and then right you know so 30 days would be make make it make it official
should I make it official okay in case number 25-1963 I move that uh we extend the deadline for um the uh accuring of the uh fine uh
till se uh September 10th 2025 a motion is Is there a second? Second. Second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, I'm going to ask for Oh, I have a Okay. Um,
actually, I would I would say uh I I don't think we should necessarily offer them a continuence only only because of the pool and and how long that that can take. And there's there's clearly avenues for them to to reduce or extinguish any fines that accumulate,
but it could be used as kind of a checks and balances against the person buying the house to make sure that they are absolutely going to like take care of the pool, for example, and make sure that's safe. Um, and then anything else associated with the house, it seems like they're committed to buying it. They've already got a closing date and
everything like that. So I don't know if it's it would like if bit complicating the sale would necessarily be you know a concern what So you're asking to extend your I'm asking not to extend it. Yeahing I mean it's I would like to explain it
at least rather than just say nay cuz I think and honestly I'm a little on the fence with it too just because like you said the the pool if the pool is open as well as I don't recall if there was water or anything in the pool but the mosquitoes the there's no there's nothing in the pool. They drained it. Okay. Uh but it's but it's exposed or
it's open to where people could someone could just walk in. That's not true. Um I need her. Yeah, you need to Lori if you're bit of a fence for my Okay. Well, this this might change things. Walk in there to that pool. Um there is a gate um on on the side. Now, when I
presented the case, there was some slats that were missing on the fence that if somebody wanted to really crawl through there to get in the backyard, they could. Um they did put up a couple more more of the slats. Um the last time it
still needed I I think two or three more. Um but the pool was was empty and Okay. And it seems relatively contained or safely um secured. Yes. Yes, it does. By by the fence on that's on either side.
Okay. Just a gate. You know what I'm saying? And then it's a shared fence between them and the next door neighbor on the one side. Um, Mr. Hubert. So, that fence is good on this side. Your next door neighbor's a shared fence on this side as well. They've done their due diligence on their fences.
Okay. Mr. Chair, one one at a time, please. Yeah. Sorry. Uh, is there anybody living in the house? Yes, just the husband cuz the wife and the kids moved out. Okay. Okay. I I'll I'll retract it. I'm fine with continuence. Uh, yeah. Sorry. If you're going I'm sorry.
You're going to testify? You need uh Yeah, just the husband is living at the home. Um, I talked to the wife and she's moved out with the kids to, I believe, her parents' home. Okay. All right. Did you have a question, Rod, to
Yes. Um, just to for Brian? No. No. For her? No, I'm done. Uh, for Brian and David, I I wanted I wanted the actual person who is going to own the house and then we we deal with him. Other than that, you know, just we're putting a
violation on somebody has not bought the house yet. So, we'll give that one month. So, hopefully it'll go through. That's why, you know, my my thinking went that way to 30 days extension even though the real owner should be here asking for 30 days to sell the house,
right? and he's not here or she whatever you know since they're having the but we're taking the realtor trying to get this going and that was my strategy for this is it's not like I like to give it 30 days
I'm with you it's we need this cleaned up fixed as soon as possible but if we did the violation is going to be a curing and now they're going to go through another process of reduction whatever you know leaner reduction is already if you explain that he already
asked for lean reduction. No, he has not. There was a previous lean on the property grievous. Yeah, that's this if we if we if we add another lean another second lean. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. You know, it's so that's why let's give that 30 days going and then we'll take it
from there. I don't want to extend it more than that when we see the new owner trying to do something and do you know fix the property. All right. Any further discussion? Oh, sorry. Sure. Could I have a point of order on
the motion of extending the deadline to September 10th, 2025? Is that also then including that there would be the fine of $50 per day beginning on September 11th? Is that the
order or is this just the order is to extend the deadline to September 10th? Because right now the order was that the fine $50 per day begins August 14th which was tomorrow if they don't meet it.
So if we're extending it in the order will we write the order that if they don't comply by September 10th that that fine starts. That is correct on September 11th. Yes.
Yes. So, the two will kind of travel in a pair, but I want to be sure that they uh that the buyers know that when they buy this house, they are buying, you know, the lean that's on it that they'll be coming with it and these code
violations are coming with it. And I want to be sure that the buyers are aware of that. Yes. Should we bring the realtor back? Yeah. Probably need to just she knows that. Yes. Uh well, it is a cash sale and um
they do know about the other lane that they've had previously. Um and they've been working through other lanes that he had too. Um I know that there's one with the garbage, so they're clearing that one too as well. So, I'm sure that they won't have any issues with knowing that this lean is also uh going to be in fact
September 11th if you guys approve. But the yeah, the the four violations that they have will be, you know, enforced barring a further barring another extension, which it doesn't sound like we're going to do. So, okay. Thank you. Thank you.
So, any other comments or questions? All right. So, we're ready for a vote. All in favor say I. I. Opposed? No. Nays. Motion passes. So, so just so you can take it back to the owner, the information back to the
owners, you know, we they they've been f uh excuse me, they've been extended for another 30 days. So, I think it's what? September 10th. 10th is the new new deadline for them. Okay. And I think they could come back and I mean you you or someone could come back and ask for
another extension if there's if the or would it start over with the new owner? Would it start over with the new owner? Well, we assuming the violations. No, there's already been an order entered, right? Okay. So they will, like I said, when
they purchase the property, they are also that they are then taking those responsibilations to cure it with it and the and the the risk of a $50 a day fine. So assuming the closing goes through, they could come back and ask for an
extension after they've bought purchased the property. Okay. So there that's that's the full story. All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right. And just to answer your question or maybe provide some clarification, if there hadn't been an order entered, we would have obviously
given the new owners an opportunity to fix that before it came to the board, but it's already been to the board. All right, we're on to the next unfinished business case. Case number 25-1944
City versus Sharbani Abdul Hussein and Amary Atusa for the property located at 332 Sunnyside Road. The deadline for the compliance was August 13, 2025. Fine of $75 per day beginning August
14th, 2025. Violation 10-4B4A, nuisance building, 90 days. Section 12-9212, parking driveway standards. Section 8-10218A, Sanitation, shared area. Section
8-10213H, Windows and exterior doors. Section 8-10213K hardware. Section 12-861E6 fences appearance. and section 10-34,
sanitation, duty to keep premises clean, not in compliant. Could we get possibly get a a refresh, a memory refresh for the board as far as the the violations and any any changes,
any status change? So, uh, having been here for a month, the first week I was here, I actually drove by that that property to to see what the condition was, and it was it was very bad. Uh, I drove by yesterday and today. Uh, and it's it there's been
no change. Uh, in fact, it the appearance, in my opinion, has gotten worse. The violations are all still the same. There's nothing new, but the violations are still existing. Okay. Thank you. Unless Do you guys have any other
questions for co-director. Okay. All right. So, we just need the respondent the respondents here. Okay. All right. Thank you. Good evening. Good evening. Um name name and addressi
332 sunnyside. And uh last time um I presented in front of the board, if you may recall, I presented pictures of uh foundation uh cracks in the back, sub cracks and um um
when I left um what was decided that I would come back um at this time with contracts, reports from the engineers and a solution how to remedy the foundation. Um our focus has been try to
address this. Um um is this the one where the there was like a driveway involved? Right. Correct. The the the issue with delaying uh the installation of the driveway was
uh we had found step crack foundation issues with the side and the back of the garage. And um after consulting with the geotechnical engineer and a structural engineer uh we concluded that it didn't make sense to pour a brand new concrete
because we actually need and I have um contracts here and reports from the engineer saying that we need uh 12 um underpinning supports all around the front, the side and the back of the garage. Um so I have this for your um
viewing if you like. Um the first page is the scope of work. The second page is a diagram showing they're both the same. Two copies the same. Yeah, I brought So basically our focus has been trying to u come up with the solution to uh
reinforce the foundation. Then once that's done then it would make sense to proceed with uh pouring the concrete for the driveway. Um, so that's what I have to share with you. So there's multiple other there's some
other violations that don't seem to be related to the driveway perhaps. Um, issues that we had was the um a dumpster that was on our driveway that has been removed. Um, there was some u vegetation growing on the pool
enclosure. We started to remove the pool enclosure, but um because there's no gate and there's a safety hazard, we stopped doing that. So until until we can install the uh the the gate, then we can proceed with removing the
structure um in its totality. Um the screen has been removed, but the uh the metal framing is still intact partially. um other things. Um there were two um stockpile of dirt that
we discussed last time. Those dirts has grass over it now. So we trim it constantly. But the dirt is needed for back fill when the um driveway is poured so we can fill the dirt along the both side.
We'll probably do for a pressure wash without the rain. So that's um something that we can go ahead and do um if needed. It looks I see some other violations for windows and exterior doors. Is that
the windows that I think they're referring to is a glass enclosure um on the side. Those windows have been removed. They're they're no longer windows. They're just the framing. So that's with framing. So my that's my question is have some of the violations been remedied? Uh it
sounds like possibly they have them, but uh from the uh from the road it doesn't appear that way. Uh we can we can take a look at the windows to see. Uh but from the from the road and driving by and and regular inspections, it doesn't appear that way. Uh but we can absolutely double check and just to
see if that has. And I know the dirt was something that I thought you said you could remove if you if they're within the vicinity of the driveway. I can shift them, but it doesn't make sense to take it in the back and then bring it back again if that's something that absolutely needs
to be moved. Um, they're basically two piles about 4 ft tall, 6 ft in diameter, and they're inside the middle of the the front yard. They're behind some vegetation. If that's something that is aesthetically
u problematic, um, I can move it, but I I hate to move it and remove it again. So what's what's the what's the plan going forward as far as the plan? I know you I guess we have you have some
you have contracts and Right. So this this U contract is for installing 12 under pins on the three side of the garage and this is only part of the cost. The cost is that we have to actually remove the concrete um on the
sidey yard and the pool deck to give access to the contractor. So, more or less I'm looking about $50,000 in in repairs. Um, that and the driveway, it's significant hardship. Um, I would like to be allowed to pour gravel in this
driveway and and make it useful so I can actually access the garage until this work is complete. Once the the work is complete, then we shift it the gravel aside um where the gate will be and then we can pour the concrete at that time.
question. Okay. Um, and this is for you, sir. Um, I believe last time we we heard this case, there was a there was something about the gravel driveway, like the gravel wasn't or was that allowed? It's like two months old. The uh
my property is a corner lot. I have a circle driveway on Sunnyside. And this is Brentwood. There's a 20 foot um 24 ft uh rectangular driveway tour to twocar garage. I had um asked if I could be allowed to simply leave the gravel in
place instead of having to pour concrete but could um um our court ordinance um I think limit that to dust dustfree correct me if I'm wrong dustfree surface. So it's concrete asphalt pavers that sort of thing. Um
so it's it's kind of difficult to comply with that and at the same time plan the work that needs to be done. The type of equipment that is needed to install these underpins or heavy machinery with hydraulics uh it will crack or damage or uh you
know stain the driveway. So um what what I can do is simply saw it. I mean that's would be just uh kind of an acceptable maybe surface. Um but I'm not sure if if um the building department will allow that. Um the other ceremony is build
part of the driveway and leave a strip of 20 ft or so around the garage so we can focus on that at least the rightway portion is in compliance. But again, uh those are things that um I can discuss with the the staff and see if we can uh
come up with a solution that uh works with. Um I got another question real quick. Oh, go ahead. Um maybe I missed it in the contract. Uh but what how much time do you need to get it into compliance? Like are we looking at 3
months, 6 months, two years? Like what what are we looking at? I will need financing for this. So, um, now that I have, if you look at the date of that, uh, contract, it was submitted to me on the 11th, just a few days ago. So, now that I have an idea of what the
bulk of it is and what the demo is, I can go start looking at how I can finance this. Um, I think last time I was here, I think I think I asked for 6 months. I'm not sure. And and the board was um, graciously gave me 60 days at
least to present this to you. I still think I need u 6 months. So maybe another four months before I can uh hopefully um complete the project. Okay. Can I ask? Sure. I I what my concern is it sounds like if
we just have this there's no engineering plans yet. So a sign and sealed report that would be submitted and that could take you know has that any of that? This is a design build um uh solution. The u the pre the permit the permit that they would
submit would have that the the 12 um piles that you see there was recommended and engineered by grand engineering miss Laura Hall licensed engineer. Now, do you have that is that report already done like ready to
they she made her recommendation to to this company in order for them to come up with this estimate. Um cuz like what we were talking about earlier that can take to get all of the that stuff done could take a while uh in addition to the financing bit of it just getting the logistics.
So you know I'm I'm I'm a retired engineer very familiar with process. Um my understanding is that again this is a design build solution. Okay. and um the engineering has already been done unofficially. Um once the contractor submits for the permit, then
we have to find out if the city requires additional documentation, which um I'm sure I'll be produced fairly quickly since the the design is already there. Correct. Any other questions?
Right. I guess that's that's it. Thanks. I just need to make a comment. I'm happy to meet with the staff or any of your staff at the house and we can tour and take a look at every one of those items and if there's anything that I need to do beside this particular item, I'm happy
to comply. That's what I was going to ask if if Dallas could come up and give us his opinion of what because obviously there there's been from our from my perspective there's been little or no progress, right? I mean that but it is a
complicated project. Absolutely. I understand that, but um just wanted to get the city's perspective on where we're going, where we go from here. At this point, we have nothing submitted for the repairs. But if it's a
foundation stabilization, which is underpinning typically is the engineer report that they provide is what we issue the permit off of. So if they sent the report in tomorrow with an application, we can submit a we get a permit out quick on this. That
turns a quick turnaround on those. So they could have the underpinning issue in a week. Then they could do that unappending gets done. Then we go back to the driveway and fence issues. At that point, you like he was stating, we need to unpin and secure the foundation,
the structure prior to pouring a driveway. So it's stairstepping it through. Okay. So, see, yeah, I'm not really sure where to go with this one, but
the the report you have from LRE, that's that's probably the report that's required to get them an underpinning permit. Okay. So, in that you're going to submit this to the U unlike the other case that was before you where there was insurance and settlement. Here, this is out of
pocket expense. So, um I have to secure the funding first before I can uh proceed. So the time I'm asking is to be able to to figure that out. This is not a insurance claim situation, right? Okay.
I mean, it might be, but uh based on the conversation I had with the insurance company, they they do not cover this sort of thing anymore. All right. Any other questions for the respondent? Can I ask a question? thought in your testimony you said you had done some
work on the pool like you were removing screen and I don't I forget what else I just want to be sure do we still have the appropriate barrier there we have a um a child barrier which is about 4 foot change uh that's still in place um but
based on what was discussed last um last session I decided to halt anymore removal of the structure until we have a um vehicular vehicular gates to close that opening then I can proceed with removal of the entire structure.
Okay. Yeah. Did you start any process of uh securing funds to complete this project? Um as I said I just got this 3 days ago. So now I have to go through uh financing and see what options I have.
Okay. We're probably going to go with some sort of a home equity line of credit. How long do you think it's going to take you? Uh, it's a good question. I'm not sure. What I need is about 4 months for the entire thing. I think um once the funding is in
place, the work can be done fairly quickly. The permitting process um you know is short. Uh the the actual execution of the underpinning is is about 10 days at most. Um and boarding a
driveway is also two-day job. So construction activities don't take long. What I need to figure out is how to pay for it. Uh now my question is for the director. Um how is the city's situation to if we
grant him one month and I I think it's going to be one month at a time in my opinion even if it's going to take four months but we cannot grant four months on this in my opinion. uh are you okay with it or what do you think what's your
opinion on it? The the opinion is I I believe that if if there was an effort made to uh control the exterior appearance of the uh of the property that may help a little bit as driving by it looks in
very very poor shape. Uh the the front where the the the double car garage is u is in great disrepair. the other side is where the vegetation is that needs to be controlled uh I I believe that would help a little bit uh to get us where we
need to be while the rest of the process is going even if we went monthtomonth. Yeah, that's what I was thinking that if we could just see some progress on some of the other violations that would be helpful things that can be done while the the
pinning and all those things are taking place. May I ask a question? We do have lawn service. We have uh people that come in and maintain the property every two weeks. So, I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but um I'm happy to meet with whoever so we can talk about
each items and then come up with uh maybe we need to focus on certain area more than others. But well, I think one one violation was was the pool. That that's something that could not that's not related to the driveway, right? the pool. Uh it was more of a screen enclosure where
vegetation was growing on it. And I think we addressed that. Um there's no more screen for vegetation to grow on it. We And our our uh lawn service people uh know Oh, I thought you said you suspended any any I suspended removal of the structure. We
were actually removing the posts and the screen. And then we got to a point where I realized that it's maybe not safe. So we stopped and uh so the structure is still intact. I think that's what's that's what you see. But there's no no longer an actual screen on top of it.
But could you proceed with getting the structure removed? Uh that's something that's like I say it's not related to the I mean I can do that. Again I'm I'm happy to meet with a representative on site and we can look at every one of them. And uh again my focus has been
really the foundation issues uh is the headache. Uh but once I address that, everything else falls falls into. Um the house is white and it's probably due for a good paint. So uh every 3 months I have to pressure
wash this thing and uh with the rains that we get uh it's it's it's a challenge. So um I think the folks our friends at the code enforcement knows as well. So they remind me every every now and then uh that a little bit of green is growing. So we try to keep you know
keep with it. Uh, it's a big house. Actually, I have a question for Mr. Shanks. Um, you mentioned the mounds or we talked about the mounds of dirt. Is that one of the issues that is unsightly from the street? It is. It is.
See, it just seems that that has been there a while. I know you feel that moving it and moving it back is problematic, but again, I think we need to look at what's going to make the front of this property look good. And move it. I'm happy to move it. It's it's
it's not that big of a pile, but um again, I I would like to extend for a month, but I want communication. I want Mr. Jack, our director, come back in one month. I know it's going to take him
more than that from what I can hear, but I want some positive comments. Otherwise, I don't think it'll be extending those days. I want to see some something positive from the staff,
from the director, and communicating on what makes this property looks better in your opinion? Yes, we're we're happy to to work with uh the the property owner and sure we can work something out to get him where he needs to be. All right. So, I think I think we're
ready to have a motion to either grant or I'd like to make a motion. Okay. All right. I would like to uh grant the continuence for 30 days. So, the September 10th uh in case number 25-1. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. That all of that. Uh
so in case number 25-1944, I move that given the given the actions taken by the owner that we grant a continuence of 30 days to September uh 10th. I'll second that motion. We have a second. Any further discuss? Yes, I I have just a discussion. It
appears here the fine says on the screen $25 per day and on my paper says here 20 $75. Which one is correct? So, I just something that I noticed. Um, is that correct?
Uh, the fine I see on the paper is $75 per day and that's but on the screen the screen it shows it does uh per day. So, I just don't don't want that discrepancy. I don't know if Mr. Ernie that does that matter. I don't remember offhand. I don't have
the file with me but I am really really sure it's the 75. I'm I'm I I know it's 75 minutes up, right? Oh. Oh, sorry. Sorry. This this this is a notice. It is 75. It's 75. I know. I I know it's 75
because I think we remember that motion because it's several several violations, but on the screen just for our audience, the broad audience up there. So, that's it. That's what we got a motion. Got a second and we're ready for a vote. So, all in favor say
I. I. All opposed. No nays. Motion passes. So you've been extended for 30 days. 40 days. 40 days. 30 days. 30 days. So you know you know you know you you obviously understand what the
process is. So if you need another extension hopefully we'll at least report some progress is what we'd like to see for next for the next meeting. Significant happiness from our new director. I want him to see him. I look forward to meeting you and then we can we can walk
it and and then figure out what is it that All right. Well, you all happy. Thank you very much. Thank you. Um you can keep those copies or or or this whichever. That's a copy. You can keep it on file. That's fine. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
All right. So, we're going to start from the new the new cases from the top. Right. Oh, do we I do have um one other sign up that came after and it is the case number 1487.

prosecuted this evening by code compliance officer Lorie Smith. The city has evidence that the notice of violation and the notice of hearing were properly served. Good evening, Mr. Vice Chairman Lorie Smith Code Compliance and board members. Lori Smith Code Compliance. This case originated from community development on
April the 15th, 2025 requesting a notice of violation for no permit for interior buildout, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. A notice of violation was prepared on May the 5th, 2025 with the compliance date of the 14th of May,
2025. No one was at home, so I posted the notice letter at the front door and requested copies be sent f first class and certified mail to the owner of record. I also request a copy be posted at city hall on the electronic board for the 10-day requirement. At this time,
I'd like to submit a screenshot of a stop work order in Central Square. Um if if you would let me submit. Yes, absolutely. Yes, sir. Exhibit number one shows a notice letter posted at the front door. Exhibit number two shows the stop work order in Central

I have none. I have had none. And it doesn't look like the respondent's here. No, sir. They're not. Any other questions? So, um, let me understand. Um, so he they did
some construction without they did submit some stuff. Um, Ry, but they uh have not paid for. The permit has not been paid. Um, you have to submit and then also pay for the permit. That has not been done in this case. There has been things submitted
but the permit has not been paid for. Okay. So they they have plans, but did any work on site been done? Sir, I I don't know what you know as far as the work that on that's been done that hasn't been done, electrical,
mechanical, and plumbing. A lot of uh you know, building uh stuff has been done on the property that there was no permit for. That's the reason that we're here. So um is there anybody living on the property? No, sir. Not that I'm aware of.
Okay. They need to pay for the permit, not actually get a permit. Just pay for it. Well, they're they're they've submitted uh to to uh obtain the permit, sir. But they just not have not paid for the permit yet. Once they pay, they'll get the permit,
but correct. They don't have the permit. Okay. That's the only thing lacking is they need to pay for it. They've submitted an application for a to get a permit, but they haven't paid for it. So they don't it doesn't move forward at that point.
And probably Dallas is the best person to ask that. Yeah, I think that's the way it works. Federal stuff. They have submitted for permits. They have picked up most of the permits. The mechanical permit, which is one that's in question at this point, has not been
paid for. Their building permit, their electrical permit, their plumbing permits, all get picked up and paid. Oh, okay. The last one hasn't been picked up yet. So, I'm going to contact the contract GC tomorrow. He's one of my regular customers to have him get the G
the mechanical guy and get his permit issued. This thing can go away. Okay. All right. It's Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank No. No. Is now it's clear. All right. So, that's in violation. Yes. So, there's no further questions than
looking for. You want me do that one if you don't mind? Yeah. If you anybody else want go ahead go for it. Okay. In case number 25-1872, I move that the city has proven that the

electronic board, and sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record upon reinspection on July 18th, 2025. The violation continued. So as so a notice of hearing was created and on July 21st, 2025 posted to the subject property requested
posting to city hall on the electronic board for the 10-day requirement and sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record. As of my last inspection on August 11th, 2025, the violation continues. At this time, I would like to submit evidence for case
number 25-2577 supporting the case and asking for a ruling in violation. Submit. Have you had any um conversation with the
is the property even occupied? Is it I don't know. I know the previous notices have disappeared. Oh, okay. So, I think so. Somebody must be picking something up, even if it's mail. Yeah. Um, exhibit one is going to be a copy of the notice of violation with affidavit
of posting and photos. Exhibit two is going to be a copy of notice of hearing with affidavit posting and photos. And then exhibit three is photos of the reinspection on August 11th, 2025 prior to today's hearing.
All right. Any any questions for the officer? Is this is this one house or a duplex or something? It's they're consecutive. So you have they're like duplexes, but they're individual units along the way.
So the violation for both? No, it's strictly that property line just one that property line. Even when they mow at the neighboring yard, you can see the line. Yeah, it's it's just I seen the pictures and it's just the grasses, but people are living there. They getting the the
the um I will not speak to somebody living there because I can't confirm that or deny it, but at the same point, I know that notices that I've left have been removed. Okay. Have you had any so no contact with the
property owners then? Okay. Because it seems to me the one closer to the tree is is is cut, but the ones closer to the street, the driveway is the start of the neighboring property.
So in these properties, you have um two or three of them in a row. So, like there's a tree in the front yard of the 7706 that right past that there's another driveway. It's as if the neighboring driveway is actually the borderline.
Okay. And you'll see pavers between on that particular picture in the top right hand corner. We're talking about just mowing the grass. And that's why, you know, I'm I'm puzzled about this one. 20 over 26 in high at this point. Yeah. Yeah. I I agree with you. It's
just mowing the grass and nobody's responding. That's in my opinion that never like I've been sitting on this. This is my second term and I haven't seen somebody unless it's abandoned. Nobody's living there. But we
don't know. So they just like tall grass. Some people. Any any other questions? The officer. All right. So again, who wants to do this one? So So yeah, I'm looking. Yeah, looking
for a motion. I can do it once or Juan hasn't done one. He's I got it. Yeah. So we're just trying to spread the wealth here. My glasses on this time.
Go ahead, Juan. I can see, said the blind man. All right. In case number 25-2577, I move that the city has proven by greater weight of the evidence of the following violations of the city of Temple Terrace Code exists in the
property located on 7706 Willow Park Drive. Violation sections 10-3 subsection B. This motion is based on the sworn testimony this board has
received from the code enforcement officer along with any other evidence including photos, affidavit, and the notice of violation. All of which is received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further move that the said violation be corrected on
or before September 10th, 2025. If the respondent does not comply with this order on or before that day, they are ordered to pay a fine for each and every day of the violations continue past the date set for compliance upon considering
the following factors. The gravity of the violation. Two, any action taken by the violator to correct the violation and any previous violations committed by the violator. I move that this fine to be $50 per day.
We have a motion. Do we have a second? I'll second to get to discussion. All right. So, all right. So, I guess start off. $50. Where's that coming from? Yeah. $50. Yeah.
I think they just need to we need to get their attention. I think uh violations have been posted. They've been ignored. Maybe a little teeth on there might get their attention to comply. Do you think $50 has more teeth than 25?
Believe so. Well, I the reason I ask is because we've consistently done 25 per violation. Uh this this is a departure from that doubling that. So I don't I don't know that I necessarily agree that the gravity of this situation is double that of other violations
opposed to it. I mean 25 be fair enough with David. Yeah, David got you got I agree with you. You know to be consistent to be consistent with the cases and this is a condo too. So it's a little little place.
It's a big house. I I'll go with it. Do you have anything you wanted to add? Uh no that's I'm happy to move on with it. So if you just wanted to amend the motion or stick with it either. Amend it. Amend it. 25. So read the whole thing or just the last part.
Read the whole thing over again. I think just advise that you're changing the your the amount of the fine you're opposing and then of course the second would need to agree. Yes. I advise that the fine be changed from $50 to $25 per day. I'll second as well.
Any further discussion? All right. So brief for a vote. All in favor say I. Opposed? No nazs. Motion passes. Did we have any other one more? Do we have another one finished business?
I don't think so. Finish business. Is there any other business that we needed? No. 25. Yeah, we've got Well, there's unfinished business. We have unfinished business that needs to be read into the Okay, that's right. We'll be reading it. Case number 25-1521,
