>> DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SHOW THEM TO THE RESPONDENT THIS
>> IS IT MORE THAN ONE PHOTO? >> IT IS.

AT THIS TIME WOULD JUST MOVE TO THE EXHIBITS.
ONCE I HAVE A RULING ON THAT. I WOULD ASK THAT WE GIVE SOME TE
FOR REBUTTAL. >> THE PHOTOS WILL BE ADMITTED S
THE CITY'S COMPOSITE ONE. >> THAT'S NOT IT.
>> WHAT DID I DO? >> ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE PHOS

[00:05:03]
COMPOSITE. THANK YOU.>> DO YOU WANT TO PAGE THROUGH QUICKLY?
>> SO, AGAIN WE JUST WANT TO RESERVE A MINUTE OR SO FOR REBUTTAL. I APOLOGIZE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.
>> I REQUESTED FROM THIS -- IF U CAN STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND INDICATE WHETHERR NOT YOU WERE SWORN. I AM LOOKING AT THE PICTURE AND I DON'T SEE ONE.
THIS IS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 500 VEHICLES IS PARKED IN PARKIG THAT ARE NOT DESIGNATED PARKING AND IF I LOOK AT THS PICTURE HERE, I DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS CLEARLY DESIGNATED.
IF YOU GO OVER BY THE CITY YOU WILL NOTICE THAT ALL NON-PARKING ARE PAINTED IN YELLOW PAINT OR THERE'S A SN THAT STATE DO NOT PARK. I FREQUENTLY GO BY THIS BEACH.
I EVEN WENT BY THERE ONE DAY WHE INDIVIDUALS WERE SPARKED IN THAT SIMILAR SPOT. CODE COMPLIANCE.
I WAS THERE ALL DAY NO TICKET WS ISSUED.
I DO FEEL LIKE IF THE CITY BELIE THAT THIS IS A IS A NO PARKG ZONE. THEY SHOULD CLEARLY PAINT IT.
PUT UP A SIGN. THAT CONE THAT WEAR LOOKING AT N THAT PICTURE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING.
IT DOESN'T TELL WHO IT BELONGS TO.
YOU CAN'T DETERMINE ESPECIALLY N A HOLIDAY WEEKEND THAT THATS
A NO PARKING AREA. >> THIS IS WHERE IT'S A CLEAR VIOLATION. I'M NOT SURE HOW THE CITY WOULD DETERMINE HOW THEY WOULD GIE OUT A TICKET.
WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON WHY YOU GIVE SOME INDIVIDUALITY KET FOR PARKING THERE AND OTHERS NONE.
AND AS I MENTIONED IN MY E-MAILO THE CITY THIS IS THEIR LABOR DAY WEEKEND. EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL THAT PAK ON THE FIRE LINE AND ALL THE AREAS WERE GIVEN A TICKET.
>> AGAIN. IT WAS CLEAR SIGN, CLEAR INDICATION THAT A VEHICLE WS PARKED IN A PROHIBITED PARKG
AREA. >> SO SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IF I MY RESPOND BRIEFLY. LET ME LET STAFF RESPOND FIRST.
MR. SACEDO FIRST AND IF HE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD AND I WILL
RESPOND. >> WHERE YOU SEE THE BLACK CAR NEXT TO HIS VEHICLE THAT'S ACTUALLY THE LAST PARKING ST THERE WHERE IT'S CLEARLY STRIKED.
IF YOU LOOK AT RIGHT NEXT TO THE CONE THERE IS NO STRIKE THERE. THAT'S AN INDICATION THAT'S NOTA DESIGNATED PARKING AREA. I PERSONALLY WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE CONE THERE AT THIS LOCATION THIS MORNING BUT TT CONE WAS MOVED. SO, I MEAN I'M NOT SURE WHAT OTR INDICATION WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE.
>> SO, JUST TO CLARIFY AND SO TT ANYONE LOOKING BACK AT THE RECORD CAN KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS SHOWING N THE SCREEN AND THERE'S A YELLOW LINE IMMEDIATELY TO E LEFT OF THE TICKETED VEHICL,
>> AND THERE'S NO YELLOW LINE IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT OF THE TICKETED SRAOEBGT, CORRECT?
>>> CORRECT. >> INSTEAD THERE'S A CONE THERE,
>> THAT'S THE CONE YOU PLACED IN THE MORNING OF THE CITATION,
>> THE VEHICLE IS NOT PARKED INA PARKING SPACE.
>> BECAUSE THIS GENTLEMAN ASKEDF WE ISSUED TICKETS HERE ALL E TIME. AS A COURTESY BECAUSE WE HEARD E SAME COMPLAINT WE STARTED PUTTING A CONE TO SAY DON'T PARK HERE. THIS IS NOT A PARKING SPACE.
WE DON'T MARK EVERY NON-PARKING SPACE IN THE CITY WE MARK TE
PLACES TO PARK. >> THERE'S A BLANK SPOT.
[00:10:01]
LET ME PARK THERE. THE SKOEPB IS JUST A COURTESY.>> I HAVE THIS QUESTION. FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT YOU -- THAT IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO Y A YELLOW PAINT SIMILAR IF YU GO TO THE LEFT OF THAT THERS A GARBAGE DUMPSTER IT'S CLEARLY PAINTED IN YELLOW.
>> THERE ARE OTHER SIGNS IS ALL OVER THAT BEACH THAT SAYS DESIGNATED PARKING AREA. YOU ARE TELLING ME THE CITY CANT PUT A SIGN AND CAN'T PUT YELLOW PAINT AND FORGET THA.
THE CONE THAT'S THERE. YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT YOU CANT PUT A BIG ENOUGH WRITING ONT THAT SAYS CITY OF FORT PIERE PROHIBIT PARKING DO NOT PAR. IF YOUR EYESIGHT IS NOT CORRECT YOU CANNOT TELL IF I BROUGHT ISSUE IS NOT GOOD.
ANY EYESIGHT IS GOOD. YOU ARE TELLING ME LOOKING AT TT PICTURE THAT YOU CANNOT ADDA SPEUBG THAT SAYS CITY OF FOT PIERCE DO NOT PARK. I THINK ISSUE IS WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PROHIBITED AREA.
THAT'S ISSUE THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY.
>> HOW IS THE AREA DESIGNATED AS PROHIBITED?
>>> I THINK I MAY RESPOND. THE YELLOW LINE TYPICALLY IF THERE'S A YELLOW LINE YOUR LEFT THE YELLOW LINE TO YOUR RIGHT YOU CAN PARK. BUT WIH THE LAST YELLOW LINE IS ON YOUR LEFT AND THERE ISN'T OE ON YOUR RIGHT YOU CAN ASSUME
THAT IS NOT A PARKING SPACE. >> .
>> SO AGAIN MY QUESTION WOULD BE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND 10,000 PEOPLE BY THE BEACH AND NO YELLOW LINES, NO PARKING SPACE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE EVIDENE THAT EVERYONE WAS GIVEN A TICKET THAT DAY.
>>> I WILL OBJECT AS TO RELEVANE OF THAT ISSUE AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED WITH EVERYONE ELSE. >> WE DON'T HAVE EVERYONE HERE D THAT IS NOT RELEVANT TO THE FACT THAT YOU WERE PARKED IA
NO PARKING SPACE. >> I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE LABOR BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A DESIGNATED NO PARKING AREA.
AND I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGE OUT HOW DID THAT BECOME A NO PARKING AREA. WHY CAN'T THAT BE PAINT?
ED WHY CAN'T A SIGN BE THERE? >> I THINK THE STAFF HAS ANSWERD THAT. TY WOULD FIND THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS AND THE FIE OF $50 BE ISSUED. FAILURE TO PAY THE FINE WITHIN 0 DAYS WILL RESULT AS THE CITATION BEING FORWARDED TO
THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION YOU'RE
WAVING THE ADMIN FEE? >> YES I WILL DO THAT. .

>> YES, MA'AM. >> IS THAT THE TICKETED VEHICLE?
>> YES, MA'AM. AND THE LOCATION WHERE IT'S PARD IS WHAT TYPE? IS THAT A WALKWAY?
>> A SIDEWALK WITH PAVERS. >> OKAY.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND INDICATE IF YOU ARE SWORN OR

BECAUSE OF LACK OF PARKING. >> AND YOU FEEL THE CITATION YOU SAVVY A BLACK MOTORCYCLE WHH MINE IS RED AND MAROON, CANY APPLE WHICH I BROUGHT MY REGISTRATION ALSO AND I ASK THAT YOU DISMISS THAT BECAUE OF THAT.
ALSO I HAVE SOME OTHER STUFF, TY DON'T JUST TICKET PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALKS. I GUESS THAT'S A SIDEWALK AREA.
THEY GIVE THEM TICKETS ON THE ROADWAY TOO IF YOU'RE PARKED IN THE STRIPES AS YOU TURN LEFT UNDER THE SEA WAY DRIVE
TO GO BACK AROUND. >> IHAVE A VIDEO OF THEM PASSING THEM RIGHT UP AND I TALKED O THEM ABOUT THAT AND THEY JUT
DROVE OFF. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE AGAIN SIMILAR WITH THE LAST HEARI, I WILL OBJECT AS TO RELEVAN, ISSUE BEFORE YOU IS HOW IS THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE PAR.
>> WHEN ISSUE IS ONLY YOUR VEHICLE.
>> IS THAT YOUR VEHICLE THAT'S N YOUR PICTURE?
>> OKAY. >> IF SHE GOING TO DO HIS JOB HE NEEDS TO DO IT RIGHT AND PUT THE RIGHT COLOR OF THE VEHIE AND THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO DISMISS IT.
>> AGAIN, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE AS FAR AS THE VEHICLE IS CONCERNED CAN I CLARIFY WHETHER OR NOT THE TAG ON TE VEHICLE THAT PHOTOGRAPH GRAPHED MATCHES THE TAG ON E
>> SO THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THT YOU PARKED THE VEHICLE AS BEING A BLACK VEHICLE VERSUS BEING A REDDISH REDDISH.
IN THE SUNLIGHT IT CAN HAVE A BLACK TINT.
>> THE RESPONDENT HAS TESTIFIED THAT THAT IS HIS VEHICLE THT APPEARS IN THE PICTURE. THE TAGS MATCH UP.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE AS FAR AS THE CITATION IS CONCERNED. ISSUE IS MORE ONE OF NOTICE WHETHER OR NOT THE RESPONDET WAS ACCURATELY PLACED ON
[00:20:01]
NOTICE AS FAR AS THE NATUREF THE VIOLATION IS CONCERNED..>> I BELIEVE I WAS TARGETED. I HAVE A TRUMP STICKER.
I THINK HE WAS USING THAT TO GIE ME A TICKET COMPARED TO THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE DOWN THERE.
I DIDN'T RECORD THAT BUT I HAVEA RECORDING THEM OF THEM DRIVG BY AND NOT ISSUING THE OTHER THREE TICKETS THAT DAY AND OTHER DAYS. I THINK IT'S PROFILING.
>> YOU CAN ROLL YOUR EYES IF YOU WANT.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT.
>> THAT'S ENOUGH TO DISMISS IT. >> WELL, I DON'T THINK THINK SO.
I THINK THAT -- IT HAS BEFORE. >> AS FAR AS THE COLOR I HAVE TO SAY YOU TOLD ME IT WAS CHERY RED.
I HAD THE LOOK AND TRY TO FIND - THAT PICTURE IS DESAVING.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS BIKE YOU CAN TELL STRAIGHT UP.
>> YOU CLEARLY INDICATED IT IS YOUR VEHICLE AND THE TAG IS YOUR TAG. I FIND THAT THE VIELATION DID EXIST AND THAT YOU BE ASSESD THE FINE AS INDICATED AND TE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE AND FAILE TO PAY THE NINE 30 DAYS WILL
RESULT FOR IT. >> IT'S OKAY TO PARK THE SCOOTES
ON THE SIDEWALK? >> I'M NOT SAYING.
>> I'LL GET TWO DUMP TRUCKLOADS AND IT SHOULD BE FINE BECAUE THEY PARK ON THE SIDEWALK AL THE TIME.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DISPUTING HERE S WHY TARGET JUST ONE?
>> I THINK THAT'S BEEN ANSWERED. YOU CAN PATROL YOUR EYES AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO BUT IT'S COMPLETE BULL CRAP.
>> IT STPHAO* WHAT DID YOU SAY? >>> IT'S COMPLETE BULL CRAP.

WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING T THERE WAS TRUCK PARKED THER.
HE PULLED OUT. THERE'S A PARKING SPACE.
THERE WAS A CAR PARKED WHERE HES PARKED NOW.
THE WHOLE PARKING LOT WAS FULL. >> AT THE TIME I PARKED YOU COULDN'T SEE THE NO PARKING SIGN.
THE NO PARKING SIGN WAS NOT IN E SPOT THAT I PARKED IN.
THEY ARE CLEARLY MARKED. >> THIS SPOT IS NOT PARKED.
TESTIFY FOLLOWING TWO DAYS I DRE BY.
YOU CAN SEE AN EMPTY PARKING LOT WITH TWO DIFFERENT CARS PARD IN THE SAME SPOT. HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THAT IS AO PARKING POT. WE BROUGHT UP THE CONES THAT WEE
HERE. >> THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY NO CONES PULLED IN THE TRUCK. I HAD TPHAOUPL USE TICKETS IN MY LIFE BUT NEVER HAD A PARKING TICKET.
IF THEY TELL YOU NOT TO PARK THE YOU DON'T PARK THERE.
I JUST THINK THIS IS UNFAIR. I AM SURE THIS SPOT HAS BEEN TICKETED NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE I DRE OVER THAT BRIDGE EVERY DAY. OTHER THAN THE OTHER TWO FOE DOS I HAVE SEVERAL MORE ON MY PHONE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE PARKED THERE TOO. THE VEHIE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
ALL I SEE IS AN EMPTY SPOT WITHO SIGN.

THERE'S SHRUBERY IN FRONT OF IT. >> THERE'S A REASONABLE INFRANCE THAT IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT O PUT A NO PARKING SIGN IN THT SPOT. I WILL JUST NOTE THAT YOU CAN SE THE NO PARKING SIGN IMMEDIATELY ASKWREU SENT TO
IT. >> AND LOOKING AT BOTH PHOTOS YU CAN SEE WHERE THE LINES END FOR THE DESIGNATED PARKING.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS AND YOU CAN SEE NO
PARKING SCIENCE NEARBY. >> BUT NOT ADDED.
>> NO PARKING SIGNS YES. THEY E WHERE THE CONES ARE AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULDN'T PARK THERE.
>> IT'S VERY DECEIVING. >> IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT STAF WANTS TO ADD I WOULD ASK THT THEY BE GIVEN A CHANCE AT TS TIME. WE MARK WHAT IS A VALD PARKING SPOT.
IT'S NOT A PLACE TO PARK. >> YOU HAVE VEHICLES ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU. WHEN I LEFT THERE.
THE PICTURES HE TOOK. WHEN I PULLED UP THERE IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE BEACH WAS BUSTLING.
>> THE REST OF THE BEACH IS A BEACH AREA AND THE PARKING SPACES ARE NOT DELINEATED BT THE SAND.

MARKED. >> THIS MIGHT HELP FOR THE OTHER
HEARINGS COMING UP AS WELL. >> IN THIS PHOTO.

IT DOESN'T SHOW THAT EXACT PHOT. >> IT'S OKAY.

>> . IT'S TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD AND AROUND THE TOP AND THE OVER HEAD.
>> IT WILL BE SUBMITTING -- >> IT'S IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THIS GENTLEMAN ENTERED FROM A MAINTENANCE ACCESS POINT. HE DID NOT FOLLOW THROW ROADWAY WHICH IS WHY HE IS IN -- HE SPOKE TO MY OFFICE AND HE DIDN'T SEE THE SIGN BECAUSEE INJURED THE WRONG WAY.
[00:40:17]
>> HE ENTERED THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE ACCESS RATHER TN THROUGH THE ROADWAY. YOU CAN SEE THE DO NOT ENTER SIN
RIGHT HERE. >> WE DO HAVE THE OVER HEAD IN
PRINTED FORMAT. >> WE HAVE GOOGLE THAT WE CAN
PRINT UP. >> THIS IS THE MAINS FENCE ACCES THAT -- MAINTENANCE ACCESS THAT I REFERRED TO.
>> THIS SIGN HAS BEEN REPLACED. YOU CAN SEE THE DO NOT ENTER
THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THE SIGN FOR THIS LOCATION IS BK HERE AND IF YOU TRAVEL IN TE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL YOU CLEARLY SEE THE SIGN BUT ASE ENTERED THROUGH A MAINTENANE ACCESS POINT YOU'RE NOT GOIG TO SEE THE SIGN.
THAT'S NOT THE PROPER PLACE. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC ROADWAY.
THAT'S A MAINTENANCE ACCESS. >> WILL YOU BE ABLE TO PRINT THS AND ADD IT TO THE CLERK'S FILE.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I WOULD ASK FOR THE OPPORTUNY TO SUPPLEMENT THE FILE WITH THAT PHOTOGRAPH AND WOULD TT
BE ADMITTED TO THESE TWO? >> OKAY.

WE NEED TO PUT THEM IN EVIDENCE BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS ABT
>> YOUR HONOR I'M HERE -- I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING $50 FR A PARKING TICKET IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG BUT I'M CLEARLY SEEING THAT IT WASNT MARKED PROPERLY.
I WANT YOU TO CONVINCE ME THAT I DID WRONG AND I WILL PAY THE TICKET BUT IF YOU JUST TAKEA LOOK AT THIS WHOLE THING ITS NOT MARKED. THE SIGN IS BACKWARDS.
>> IT'S ONLY BACKWARDS FROM WHAI HEARD IF YOU COME IN THE WRG WAY. I DID NOT COME IN THE DO NOT ENR SIGN. IT IS NOT MARKED AN ACCESS ROAD.
IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT ENTER ANYWHERE ON IT.
THAT'S A PICTURE OF MY KID. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HE WAS DRIVG
MY TRUCK THAT DAY? >>> ISSUE -- THIS IS A PARKING TICKET SO WE ARE NOT -- ISSE IS JUST WHETHER NORTH IT WAS PARKED. I THINK THE STAFF CAN VERIFY THE
NORMAL PROCEDURE. >> THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN CAN THAT BE BLOWN UP SO WE CAN E THAT SIGN?
>> IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT OF MY TRUCK.
THERE'S THE SIGN AND IT'S FACING THE OTHER WAY.
SO WHEN I PULLED IN THERE. I WAS PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE TOWARDS THE ROAD. THERE WERE A COUPLE SPOTS TO PAK BUT I LEFT THEM FOR SOME OLR PEOPLE THAT WERE COMING TO R PARTY AND I SAW SOMEONE PULLING OUT OF THIS SPOT ANI SAID I'LL PARK THIS HERE BECAUSE I CAN WALK.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE COMING HAD HARDER TIME THAN I DID.
I LEFT THE SPOT FOR THEM FOR THM AND PARKED BACK HERE.
THE PERSON THAT PULLED OUT THERE WAS NO CONE OR ANYTHING.
MY IMPRESSION YOU HAVE ALL THESE LITTLE POSTSES WITH THESE ROPES INDICATE PLACES TO PARK.
>> AGAIN GOING BACK JUST TRYINGO KEEP PROCEDURE.
CAN WE ADMIT THESE AS RESPONDENS 1 COMPOSITE? AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE MADE PT OF THE CLERK'S FILE AND SO THEY ARE IN EVIDENCE IN DEFENSE OF YOUR CASE.
[00:45:36]
LY ASK STAFF IF THEY HAVE ANYTHG THAT THEY WANT TO ADD.>> WAS THERE A COMMENT THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE.
>> I WOULD LIKE THE STAFF TO SHW ME THAT I'M WRONG AND I WILL ADMIT WHEN I'M WRONG BUT I JUST CAN'T SEE THAT I'M WROG WHEN I PULLED IN THERE. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT SAYS I CAN'T PULL IN THAT ROAD THAI PULLED IN THERE AND NOTHING THAT SAYS IT'S AN ACCESS ROAD.
THERE WAS NO SIGN WHEN I PULLED IN.
THE SIGN IS FACING THE OTHER WA. I WOULD ASK THE STAFF IF I PULLD UP TO A STOP SIGN AND IT'S TURNED THE OTHER WAY.
DO I STOP WHEN IT'S FACING ME. THE SIGN IS NOT FACING ME THERE.
>>> I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE ALL TE WAY THE PARK UP THE FRONT TO COME UP AND COME OUT THAT WY TO SEE THAT SIGN.
I CAME IN THE OTHER WAY AND NEVR DROVE AROUND THAT PART.
>> WELL THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED THAT YOU DROVE AGAINST TRAFFIC -- I DIDN'T DRIVE AGAINST TRAFFIC.
THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC PERHAPS. >> GO THROUGH THE PICTURES AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT I AM SAYING.
>> SO SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I THINK WE ARE GETTING INTO ACCUMULATIVE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE AT THIS POINT IN TE . I THINK ISSUES FOR YOU AE DEFINED.
ISSUE THIS MORNING IS WHETHER OR NOT IT'S BEEN ESTABLISHED TT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A BOAT TRAILER PARKING ZONE WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE D A TRAILER ATTACHED TO IT AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT ZONE WAS NOTED TO BE BOAT TRAILER PARKING ONLY. YOU HAVE TESTIMONY THAT IT WAS NOTED TO BE SUCH. YOU HAVE TESTIMONY THAT HAD THE VEHICLE APPROACH FROM THE USUAL ROUTE NOT AN ACCESS ROAD. THE SIGN WOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARLY VISIBLE SO AT THIS TIME WE WOULD SUBMIT ISSUE FOR YOUR
RULING. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING?
>> . >> CAN YOU LOOK AT THE OVER HEAD
PICTURE THAT I GAVE TO YOU? >> ONE OF THESE?
>> YEAH, THE ONE THAT -- >> YOU WANT TO POINT IT OUT.
>> POINT IT UP ON THE SCREEN? >> I CAN DO THAT?

I CAME OUT. I SAW A CAR PARKING OUT RIGHT HE BACKING OUT. AS HE BACKED OUT I PULLED INTO THAT SPOT. THIS ACCESS THAT SHE'S CALLING N ACCESS ROAD HAS NO MARKING O IT.
[00:50:03]
NOTHING SAYS DON'T COME IN THIS WAY OR THIS IS AN ACCESS ROAD. IT'S JUST A ROAD.IT'S NOT MARKED AT ALL. THE GUY PULL OUT.
I PULLED IN. THAT SIGN THAT YOU HAD IN THE OTHER PICTURE IS FACING THE WRONG WAY. IF THAT SIGN WAS FACING WHEN I PULLED IN. I WOULDN'T HAVE PARKED THERE.
IT'S NOT MARKED. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IF I CAME IN AND DROE ALL THE WAY AROUND AND CAME BACK OUT THAT I SHOULD HAVE SAW THAT SIGN BUT I DIDN'T DRIVE IN AND AROUND AND I JT PULLED OFF A1A AND PULLED IN THERE AND TURNED AROUND
YOU CAN SEE THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL COMES THIS WAY.
ALL THE PARKING ANGLE SPACES ARE IN THIS DIRECTION.
THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THAT ARA WHERE THE SIGN IS INDICATING THAT THIS AREA IS FOR BOAT TRAILER PARKING ONLY.
IF HE HAD GONE WITH THE DIRECTIN OF TRAVEL HE WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT SIGN AND THE ENTRANCE O THAT AREA.
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE PATH OF TRAVEL FOR BOAT TRAILERS AND
HE WENT AGAINST THE THING. >> IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES HOW THE PATTERN WORKED AND HOW THE SIGN WAS FACING THE WAY IT WAS FACING BECAUE THAT WAS THE WAY YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMING. THE BOAT IS CLEARLY MARKED.
I UNDERSTAND YOU -- I TOOK A SHORTCUT TO THE PARKING.
>> SIR, I'M TALKING. >> BUT IN TAKING THAT SHORTCUT F YOU NEGLECTED TO SEE WHAT YU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HAD YOU GOE THE RIGHT WAY DOESN'T MAKE T OKAY.

ACTUALLY LOOKING -- THE SECD PROPERTY WE ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING IS FOR SALE THATE FOUND OUT ABOUT THESE SALES AND LIENS ON THE PROPERTY. IN AUGUST I HAD A COPY OF THE ADDRESS REQUEST HE MADE FOR THE PROPERTY . SOR AND OBTAINED HIS ADDRESS. ALL FOUR FREEDOMS CORRESPONDENCE WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED . THAT DOES PLAY A ROLE IN WHERE WEAR GOING TODAY. THE FINES DID RUN.THE FINES ACCUMULATED TO THE AMOUNT OF -- I'M SORRY, I HE IT HERE. $1,200. I NEED TO REVIEW THE VIE TEAR YH AND ADMINISTRATION COSTS. THIS WAS MINOR.
OUTSIDE STORAGE AND CARPORT AND THE TENANT DID CLEAN UP.
ONCE MR. SMITH FOUND OUT ABOUT E VIOLATIONS HE HAD IT ADDRESD VERY QUICKLY. FINES ACTUALLY ONLY RAN FOR I WT TO SAY FIVE WEEKS. SO IT DID GET RESOLVED FAIRLY QUICKLY. THERE'S NO OTHER ISSUES AT THIS
LOCATION. >> BASED ON THE HARD COAST COSTS AND THE MONTHS OPEN. THE TOTAL ADMINISTRATION COSTS E $1 Z -- $1,079. MR. SMITH WAS NOT AWARE OF THE VIOLATIONS AND AS A RESULT E ARE WILLING TO REDUCE THIS AMOUNT DUE TO $200. PAYABLE IN WHATEVER TIME SMITH
MR. SMITH IS ABLE TO PAY. >> DID YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
EVERYTHING. >> I CAME PREPARED FOR ONE THING
AND I'M GETTING SOMETHING E. >> CAN YOU TURN THIS DOWN? OH. HE SAID THREE TIMES IN THREE MINUTES I CAN'T DO THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS TRYING O GET HIM TO TAKE THIS TO THE OFFICE TO CHANGE MY ADDRESS.
I TAUGHT MY KIDS NEVER TO SAY I CAN'T DO SOMETHING.
THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY OF DOING I. IT MADE ME MAD.
I TOOK THE PAPERS AND THROUGH IT AT HIM.
I THINK THAT MADE HIM MAD. THE 17TH STREET PROPERTY IS BEING RENTED BY A LADY THAT HAS SIX CHILDREN.
0-16. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE CARPORT PERFECT. HE FOUND FAULT WITH THE CARDBOAD BOX IN THE BACK CORNER OF I I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THROUGH TO HIM THAT PEOPLE E GOING TO LIVE THERE.

>> THE PROPERTY IN VIOLATION PROVIDED 10 DAYS TO COMPLY R FINE FINED $150 A DAY. THE FINES DID RUN AND DUE NON-PAYMENT A LIEN WAS FILE. THE SAME SITUATION AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I DESCRID IN THE FIRST CASE APPLIED HE WHERE THE PROPERTY APPRAISER HAD AN INCORRECT MAILING ADDRESS FOR MR. SMITH. THEY DID REMOVE THE FOOD FROM TE WINDOWS AND REPAIRED THE FENCE.
LENGTH OF TIME TO BRING IT IN COMPLY OPINIONS WE LISTED IT AS TWO MONTHS WHICH IS THE SHORT VERSION.
NOT THE LONG VERSION. >> THE ONE ACTIVE CODE CASE.
>> WE STATED NONE BUT IN REALITY THE FACT THAT MR. SMITH WAS NOT RECEIVING HIS MAIL IS TE EXTENSION WAITING FACTOR.
>> AND WE HAVE THE CODE CASE AT 113 SOUTH 17TH STREET
WHICH HAD JUST BEEN RESOLVE. >> FOR THE ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION FEES COME TO $1,056. AGAIN UNDERSTANDING THAT MR. SMH WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FINES. THE FINES ACCUMULATED TO $25,08.
SO IT'S SIGNIFICANT HIGHER THAN THE LAST ONE. BUT WE DO UNDERSTAND THE FACTORS THAT WENT ALONG WITH NOT KNOWINGF THE VIOLATIONS. WE ARE WILLING TO AMEND THIS NUMBER DOWN TO ONE MONTH WHH IS $50 AND GIVING A $500 CREDIT -- $550 CREDIT BRINGS US DOWN TO $1,000.
SO THAT WOULD REDUCE A FINE OF $25,000 TO $1,000.

AGAIN THE VIOLATION WAS ACCESSOY STRUCTURES WHICH WAS A CHAIN LINKED FENCE WAS THE ONLY THING -- THE WINDOWS AND WHT NOT HAD BEEN CITED BUT WERE COMPLIED BUT THAT HAD SOME SEVERE DAMAGE TO IT REMAIND OPEN AND THAT'S WHY THE FINS ACCUMULATED UNTIL MR. SMITH REMOVED THE FENCE.
IT WAS THE CHAIN LINKED FENCE WH THAT GATE THAT ISAAC EXPLAID TO YOU THAT WAS WHAT WAS IN VIOLATION AND HAD TO BE CORRECTED. I TOOK -- MY SON TOOK IT WAY TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOOD AT THE VERY BEGINNING. AND HE FIXED IT AND WHEN I GOT DOWN NEAR MAY I HAD HIM PUTT BACK UP.
THEN I BECOME IN VIOLATION AGAI. >> WE ARE -- YOU ARE IN COMPLIAE RIGHT NOW. WE ARE DISCUSSIG HOW TO RESOLVE THE PAST DUE AMOUNTS TO REDUCE TO $1,000 FOR EVERYTHING IN THE PAST N

WOULDN'T LET HER DOG GO THROUGH THE GATE.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S IN A VIOLATION.

DOG DOOR. >> STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO REDUCE THE PENALTY OF $25,00 TO $1,000 PAYABLE IN SIX MONTHS OR AT CLOSING BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IS FOR SALE.
SO THAT'S STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIO. WHATEVER YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS- THE VERY SAME GATE IS AT MY HOUSE MY APARTMENT AT 113 SOUTH 17TH STREET AND THEY SAY IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WHEN
