BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND BASED ON YOUR VIEW OF THE
CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. >> YES.
>> OKAY. WAS CONTACT MADE WITH THE
[00:15:06]
RESPONDENT AFTER WE RECEIVED THE BILL?>> CALLED US WHEN HE RECEIVED THE BILL.
>> OKAY. SO YOU HAD A VERBAL, SOMEONE FROM THE CITY HAD COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIM
NOW LET'S GO BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE CASE.
DO YOU HAVE THE INITIAL NOTICE THAT WAS SENT OUT?
>> WE DO. >> WITH THAT, DOES THAT NOTICE
CONTAIN A PROPERTY DESCRIPTION? >> YES, IT DOES.
>> THE PROPERTY DESCRIPTION, NOTED ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S SITE FOR THE COUNTY OF ST. LUCIE?
>> THE DESCRIPTION IN THE TAX ID NUMBER IS THE SAME.
>> OKAY. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION MATCHES.
>> A PARCEL ID NUMBER ON THE NOTICE?
>> YES DOES THE PARCEL ID NUMBER ON THE NOTICE MATCH THE PARCEL ID NUMBER ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEBSITE
A LISTED OWNER ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEBSITE?
>> YES. >> WAS AT LISTED OWNER NOTICE
SENT TO THAT LISTED OWNER? >> YES.
>> AN ADDRESS FOR THE LISTED OWNER ON THE PROPERTY
>> NOTICE SENT TO THE ADDRESS? >> YES.
>> OKAY NOW FAST-FORWARD DESPITE THE FACT ALL OF THOSE THINGS WERE SENT YOU NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE AND THAT
IS WHY YOU DID THE WORK. >> FAST FORWARD TO WHEN YOU DID RECEIVE WORD BACK FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER AFTER THE BILL HAD BEEN SENT TO HIM. INDICATE TO YOU WHETHER HE HAD
RECEIVED THE PRIOR NOTICES? >> YES.
>> OKAY. WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT THAT?
>> THAT THE WORK WAS DONE ON THE WRONG PROPERTY THAT WAS NOT
DID HE DISPUTE THE PARCEL ID NUMBER COMMAND.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY? >> NO.
>> RECEIVED THE NOTICES FROM THE CITY?
>> NO. >> WHAT DID HE DISPUTE?
>> STATED THAT THE ADDRESS THAT WE HAVE ON THE NOTICE IS NOT
SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I HAVE ONE MORE WITNESS TO CALL.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ALLOW AN OPPORTUNITY, I WILL
LEAVE THAT TO YOUR DISCRETION. >> THANK YOU.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR OCCUPATION PLEASE.
>> MARGARET, THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE.
>> ARE YOU SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH THE NOTICES THAT WERE SENT
>> FAMILIAR WITH THE DISPUTE RAISED BY THE RESPONDENT?
>> I AM. >> CAN YOU TELL THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WHAT IS YOUR POSITION ON THE MATTER? ASSESSMENT OF WHAT OCCURRED THERE.
>> YES, MA'AM. AFTER THE BILL WAS SENT IF I COULD EXPAND ON THAT, ON THE INVOICES SENT.
SO WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY. HE REACHED OUT TO ME AND EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED THE NOTICE, INDICATED THAT HE HAD REACHED OUT TO CODE OFFICER MAX LEWIS, NO LONGER WORKED FOR THE CITY SO NO WAY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH HIM.
THE ADDRESS ON THE PARCEL THAT WAS ADDRESSED WAS NOT HIS PARCEL AND I EXPLAINED, OUR COMPUTER HAS ASSIGNED A NUMBER TO IT, IN LINE WITH ALL THE OTHER NUMBERS IN THE APPRAISER PARCEL ID IS THE ACTUAL LEGAL DESCRIPTION THAT WE GO BY.
ADDRESSES CAN CHANGE BUT PARCEL IDS STAY THE SAME SO I
[00:20:02]
EXPLAINED THE IDEA WAS CLEAR ON THE NOTICE THAT WAS PROVIDED AND ON THE POSTING. HE NEVER DISPUTED THE ID, BECAUSE IN HIS RECORDS THE ADDRESS PROVIDED BY THE PROPERTY APPRAISER SIMPLY SAYS AVENUE L, IT WASN'T HIS PROPERTY. AGAIN THE PARCEL ID NUMBER WHICH IS THE ACTUAL LEGAL DOCUMENT.WHICH IS ALL ACCURATE, IN LINE ON THE WEBSITE.
>> SO WHERE THE DISPUTE AROSE, THE COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED I GUESS IN LAYMAN'S TERMS A STREET ADDRESS BASICALLY HE WAS SAYING THE ADDRESS DID NOT MATCH WHAT HE HAD THE PARCEL ID MATCHED IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION MATCHED.
>> YES, MA'AM. >> ANYTHING FURTHER THAT HE
WANTED TO ADD AT THIS TIME? >> JUST THE PROCESS, SO WHEN WE RECEIVED THE INFORMATION, IT IS SENT TO OUR VENDOR.
THAT ESTIMATE IS GIVEN WHO GOES OUT AND CHECKS EVERY ESTIMATE TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE AS A BILL.N THIS CASE THIS LOT NEEDED TO BE DONE, CRIME CONVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN.
REQUIRES ALL THE TREES TO BE LIFTED ABOVE YOUR HEAD, SIX OR SEVEN FEET AND ALL GRASS BE TRIMMED.
A REQUIREMENT THAT APPLIES CITYWIDE, A GRAPHIC INCLUDED IN EVERY NOTICE. SO WENT OUT AND CHECKED THIS ESTIMATE PRIOR TO THE WORK BEING DONE, APPROVED THE WORK TO BE DONE, THEN THE WORK WAS DONE.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU NOTHING FURTHER AT
>> YOU HAVE BEEN SWORN, CORRECT.
>> YES. >> HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE
ALLEGATIONS? >> WHEN I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE, IT HAD LEWIS ON IT, I CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE WITH MAX LEWIS, I ALSO SENT AN EMAIL.
I STATED THAT I DO NOT OWN A PROPERTY AT 2506 AVENUE L, MUST HAVE SENT THIS IN MISTAKE I DO HAVE THE THREE ADJOINING PROPERTIES, I FIGURED AVENUE L, A SLICK ROAD BEHIND IT RIGHT BEHIND AVENUE L. COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO CONFUSE.
SO I ASSUMED IT WAS IN ERROR, REFERENCING ANOTHER PROPERTY.
I DID CALL AND EMAIL TO LET THEM KNOW, THEN I DID NOT GET A CALL BACK, DID NOT GET RESPONSE TO THE EMAIL FIVE MONTHS LATER I GOT A NOTICE THAT HAVE BEEN BILLED $4100.
THEN I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN, THIS IS A MISTAKE THIS IS NOT MY PROPERTY. I DO KNOW I DO HAVE A LOT ADJOINING THESE PROPERTIES, BUT LETTER ZERO AVENUE L. ALSO ON THE WARRANTY DEED, ON THE PURCHASE CONTRACT EVERYTHING RELATED TO THIS PROPERTY. SO THEY SAID NO, WE DON'T GO BY THAT, WE GO BY THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
THE TAX ID PARCEL IDS THAN WHEN I CROSSED REFERENCE TO THAT, I REALIZED THEY WERE REFERENCING THE SAME PROPERTY.
IF YOU TYPE THAT IN THE WEBSITE, MY PROPERTY DOES NOT COME UP SO WHERE IS THAT ADDRESS FROM? HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU ARE REFERENCING MY PROPERTY? T THAT POINT THE BILL SUBMITTED, SO THEN I BASICALLY CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY, SAID SUFFICIENT NOTICE, THAT WAS WHEN HE SENT THE LETTER. INDICATING WE FELT THE BILL WAS EXCESSIVE, SUBSEQUENT TO THAT WE HAD PRIOR TO THAT A TENANT THAT LIVES IN THE PROPERTY THAT MOWED THE LOT FOR 50 A MONTH, DISCOUNTED OFF THE RENT. THEY DID THE WORK FOR 700.
[00:25:01]
WE THOUGHT THAT 4100 WAS VERY EXPENSIVE, SO REQUESTED THAT IF WE COULD HAVE THAT BILL REDUCED TO A MORE REASONABLE AMOUNT WEWOULD PAY IT. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> NO, MA'AM. >> WHEN DID YOU VIEW THE PROPERTY TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN MOWED OR TRIMMED?
>> I LIVE TWO HOURS SOUTH OF HERE, TYPICALLY I DO NOT SEE THE PROPERTIES. HAVE NOT DRIVEN BY IN FIVE
YEARS.>> SINCE RECEIVED ALL DOCUMENTS FROM THE CITY YOU HAVE GONE OUT, IT WAS YOUR PROPERTY?
>> I DID NOT GO OUT I DID ASK MY HANDYMAN TO GO OUT.
I SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES OF THE SIGN THEN ASKED HIM TO GET A QUOTE TO BE SOMEBODY TO CLEAR IT, SOMEONE FOR 700.
PROBABLY TWO MONTHS AGO. >> AFTER THIS LOT HAD BEEN
CLEARED BY THE CITY. >> OTHER CONFUSION WAS THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN OWNED FOR SIX YEARS, NEVER ASKED PRIOR TO COTTAGE, ANOTHER SOURCE OF CONFUSION, A LOT OF OVERGROWN EMPTY LOTS IN THE CITY, NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE TO CUT ANY OF THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL AS WELL. WE JUST FIGURED IT IS PROPERTY, DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS REFERENCING A LOT JUST FIGURED
IT WAS SOMEONE'S HOUSE. >> HOW MANY OTHER PROPERTIES DO
YOU HAVE IN FORT PIERCE? >> ALL OWNED AND DIFFERENT LAND
TRUSTS BUT A FEW. >> GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT
A FEW IS. >> WITH THE COLLECTIVE
ENTITIES, QUITE A LOT. >> GIVE ME A NUMBER, A FIGURE.
>> THE LARGEST LANDOWNERS. >> GIVE ME A NUMBER
APPROXIMATELY. >> I CANNOT GIVE YOU A NUMBER, ALL OWNED BY ENTITIES. A TRUSTEE OF A LAND TRUST.
NOT AN ENTITY I CAN DISCLOSE. >> NOT ASKING YOU TO DISCLOSE ANYBODY ELSE. ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> THE CITY ASKING FOR $4100. >> ADMINISTRATIVE FEE.
>> HAVE YOU TRIED TO SETTLE THIS WITH THE CITY?
>> THAT WAS WHAT THE ATTORNEY WAS TRYING TO DO, I AM NOT SURE
IF HE PROPOSED A NUMBER. >> HE DID IT WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1000. I THINK THAT WAS REJECTED RESPECTFULLY. BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FAR APART
>> WE DID CONSULT WITH MR. DEREK JOHNSON, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, WE MET WITH HIM OUT ON A SITE PROVIDED HIM ALL THE PHOTOS, HE HAS STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE CHARGED MINIMUM $3000 FOR THE WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED.
HE CAN AGREE WITH THE 4100 THAT WAS BILLED HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH DEBRIS WAS REMOVED NO WAY TO SEE WHAT WAS FOUND IN THE GRASS THAT IS A REASONABLE NUMBER.
MINIMUM $3000 FOR THE WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED WITH ALL OF THE
LANDSCAPING, TREE LIFTING ETC. >> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE
3000? >> I HAD THE LOT MODE FOR 7000.
I WOULD FEEL THAT IS EXCESSIVE. >> OKAY.
ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO, MA'AM.
>> BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED, REDUCE THE AMOUNT FROM 4100, PLUS THE 100, $3000 HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY
THAT? >> I WOULD HAVE TWO CONSULT
[00:30:07]
WITH MY PARTNERS. >> WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THE SAME AS ANY OF THE RESPONDENT.
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, THE ABILITY TO ESTABLISH A TIME FRAME TO PAY, INCLUDED IN THE ORDER.
REDUCED TO 3000 PAYABLE IN X NUMBER OF DAYS.
>> OKAY. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO
PAY THE 3000? >> WELL THE ISSUE AT HAND IS THE LOT, WE TRIED TO SELL THE LOT FOR 5000.
TO PAY 3000, IS QUESTIONABLE. WE MAY JUST WANT TO LET GO OF
THE LOT. >> BASED ON EVIDENCE I WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT, $3000. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO
PAY THAT? >> LIKE I STATED NOT SURE WE WOULD WANT TO PAY THAT, MIGHT WANT TO LET THE LOT GO BACK TO
THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. >> THAT IS NOT AN OPTION.
REMAIN IN THE OWNER'S NAME UNTIL THEY DISPOSE OF IT IN ANOTHER WAY. RECOMMEND SIXTY-DAY PAYABLE, OF COURSE THE RESPONDENT HAS THE OPTION TO APPEAL.
>> CAN YOU PAY IT WITHIN 60 DAYS?
I WILL GIVE YOU 60 DAYS TO PAY IF YOU DO NOT, BACK TO THE AMOUNT REQUESTED WHICH IS THE 4100+ THAT 100.
>> IS NOT PAID WITHIN 60, OR AN APPEAL THAT A LIEN BE FILED IN
>> WITHIN THE 60 DAYS OR A LIEN WILL BE FILED AGAINST THE
PROPERTY. >> THANK YOU SPECIAL
MAGISTRATE. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.
30 DAYS TO APPEAL TO THE CIRCUIT COURT.
>> OKAY THANK YOU. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.
>> COUNCIL HAD TO STEP OUT FOR A CONFERENCE CALL SHE HAD TO TAKE. MOVE FORWARD.
>> I THINK WE CAN DO THAT. >> WE DO HAVE A TELEPHONE CALL.
