UNFORTUNATELY, LOGAN WAS THE PINVESTIGATOR ON THE PROPERTY AND I FEEL THAT DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION THERE ARE CHUNKS OF CONCRETE THAT HAVE COME OUT AND THEN HOA HAS GLUED IT BACK IN. IT'S EVIDENT
THAT THE CONCRETE IS A SINKER THIS INTEGRATING. YOU HAVE >> UNDER THE CANTILEVER 53 THAT I COUNTED AND MORE ON THE TOP.
THE >> GO FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP ALL AROUND THE RAILINGS AND THEY PASSED IT. I JUST WANT TO PUT IT ON THE RECORD BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HAPPENS, THESE ARE VACATION RENTALS AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. >> I'M SORRY DID YOU STATE
YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? P>> I'M SORRY SHEL DAN LOCKE AND I OWN UNIT D, L AND M. OF COURSE MY LIABILITY IS TIMES THREE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THIS PROPERTY AND THIS IS WHY I KEEP COMING TO REPORT THESE THINGS. I STARTED WITH THE DV PR LAST YEAR, THE DV PR TOLD ME THEY DID NOT HAVE JURISDICTION.
THEY SAID GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. I WENT THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS FOR MONTHS AND THEN I WENT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT ANOTHER BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. I MEAN, WHAT ARE MY CHOICES? I LOOK AT THE STATUTES AND ACCORDING TO 15 904 IT SAYS THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOICE OUR OPINION, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME DO THAT AND ALSO SAYS UNDER STATUTE 286.0105 I HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THIS DECISION OF THE WELDING DEPARTMENT. I GUESS THAT IS MY ONLY RECOURSE. I THINK IT IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT WE AS THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO KEEP COMING FORWARD LIKE THIS FOR A BUILDING THAT HAS ISSUES. I AM
[01:00:02]
TRYING TO GET THEM FIXED. I DON'T WANT THIS TO OCCUR. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THIS BUILDING IS UNSAFE. OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT CALL IT IN. I AM WILLING TO RING FORWARD AND MAKE SURE THE BUILDING IS SAFE ENOUGH FOR OUR VISITING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT STATES TO COME. IF A CHILD CLIMBS ON THIS RAILING, WHICH I HAVE SEEN HAPPEN, I SHUDDER TO THINK IF THE RAILING IS EVEN STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD A SMALL FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD. OKAY? THIS IS WHY I KEEP COMING FORWARD AND I HAVE BEEN LOCKED BY SHAUN COSS, LOGAN WINN AND I HAVE ESCALATED THIS TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, PAUL THOMAS.AND NOW WHAT WILL GO TO THE CITY CLERK AND APPEAL THIS BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IT'S UNFORTUNATE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GET MY LAWYER INVOLVED.
JUST WANT TO GET IT FIXED AND BE SAFE. THAT'S MY JOB AS A SHORT TERM UNTIL AGENT. THAT THESE BUILDINGS ARE SAFE AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE THEY AREN'T EVEN TO CODE. IN THE PIPES THAT WERE RESTING, THEY ONLY CUT HALF OF THE PIPES OUT GOOD THE UNDER PART OF THE UNDERNEATH ARE STILL RESTING.
I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS. TO BRING TO THE COURT. I DROVE OVER HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS WOULD BE REOPENED OR BEHELD. I WILL HAVE TO REFILE IT BUT IT IS JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT DID NOT DO THEIR JOB TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE RESIDENT. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS SAFE AND IT IS NOT. AND YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO DO YOUR HONOR BUT IF THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD DO I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING MY COMMENTS. THEY TOLD ME I DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK. I DON'T WANT TO BRING THIS TO PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT BUT I WOULD HAVE IF YOU WOULDN'T LET ME SPEAK SO I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> I UNDERSTAND. IT IS LIMITED TO ISSUES THAT HAVE TO
DEAL WITH BUILDING CODE. >> RIGHT. THE BUILDING CODE THAT THEY HAVE HERE THE EXTERIOR WALLS, PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, THIS STUFF IS STILL AN ISSUE. RIGHT NOW IF YOU WERE TO GO THERE THIS MORNING OR ANY OF THEM WOULD GO THERE THIS MORNING THEY WOULD SEE WHAT IS IN THIS PACKET OF PICTURES AND THE ISSUES THAT JUST ON THESE ITEMS ALONE HAVE NOT BEEN CURED. SO FOR THEM TO NOT EVEN NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS ON MONDAY PULLED IT OFF OF QUASIJUDICIAL HEARING BUT YET THEY DIDN'T ALLOW US OR ANY OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN CANCELED. I FOUND OUT WHEN SPEAKING TO PAUL ON FRIDAY AND THEN CONTACTED THE OTHER RESIDENTS SO THEY DIDN'T DRIVE TO FORT LAUDERDALE TO COME OVER HERE FOR A HEARING AND WASTE THEIR TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM LOCAL AND I AM ABLE TO COME AND REPRESENT ALL OF US, THERE ARE MANY OF US THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS PROPERTY. SO, BECAUSE THEY CLOSED IT AGAINST YOUR ORDER I'M NOT QUITE CERTAIN WHY YOU CAN'T REOPEN IT BUT I CAN'T WESTERN YOUR AUTHORITY.
>> I ONLY GET WHAT COMES BEFORE ME. I DON'T AGAIN CHOOSE CASES. THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT I HAVE BEEN A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN ANOTHER PLACE AND THESE GUYS DO A
REALLY GOOD JOB. >> MOSTLY I AGREE.
>> I'M NOT PICKING AND CHOOSING CASES. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK WITH THEM AND SEE IF YOU CAN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT HERE TALK WITH THEM ONE MORE TIME. BUT MR. SHAUN
COSS. >> MR. SHAUN COSS IS NOT WILLING TO DISCUSS IT ANY FURTHER NOR IS LOGAN. HOWEVER, POSSIBLY THEIR BOSS, PAUL THOMAS WILL BE WILLING TO DISCUSS THIS. HE IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO COME AND SPEAK AT PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY. I AM FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTION. HE HAD STATED TO ME THAT IT WAS UP TO YOU TO REOPEN. I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF MISUNDERSTANDING ON QUASIJUDICIAL AND WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE. HE SAID HE WASN'T REALLY SURE AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEING COMPLETELY HONEST AND I DO LIKE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND I AGREE WITH YOU FOR THE MOST PART THEY ARE ON POINT. I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS NOT THE FINEST HOUR.
>> YEAH. >> AND I AGREE THAT THE
[01:05:06]
BUILDING IS STILL DANGEROUS AND NOT IN COMPLIANT. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO TO THE CLERK AND APPEAL?>> I CANNOT GIVE YOU ADVICE FROM HERE. COUNSELOR?
>> I CANNOT GIVE HER LEGAL ADVICE YOUR HONOR DID SHE IS ALSO NOT A PARTY SO I DON'T KNOW IF AN APPEAL EXISTS FOR
HER. >> I AM A PARTY. I AM AN OWNER. I AM IN MEMBERSHIP OF THE BOARDWALK ASSOCIATION SO I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE THAT I'M NOT A PARTY. IF I WAS NOT A
PARTY I WOULD NOT BE HERE. >> MR. SHAUN COSS CAN YOU HELP
ME OUT HERE? >> I CAN SHOW MR. SHAUN COSS A COPY OF THE PHOTOS AND I THINK HE HAS A COPY OF THE EMAIL.
>> RESPECTFULLY CAN I HAVE A MOMENT WITH COUNSEL?
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, THIS IS OUTSIDE OF WHAT MY RESPONSIBILITY IS HERE. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU ALL COULD SCHEDULE A MEETING OR
SOMETHING? >> YES MA'AM, WE WON'T BE COMMENTING ON HER COMMENTS ANY FURTHER.
>> SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOMETHING WORKED OUT. I WATCH THE NEWS ALL THE TIME AND THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE CONDOMINIUM AT COLLAPSED DOWN IN DADE COUNTY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS. I WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS TO GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT IT AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO. I WOULD NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN HERE.
>> NO, ESPECIALLY WITH ME COMING TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND BRINGING IT TO YOU AND FORT PIERCE'S ATTENTION AND IF GOD FORBID A PIECE OF THAT CANTILEVER BALCONY COMES DOWN ON A FAMILY, A CHILD, A OWNER OR IF THE RAILINGS BREAK FREE AGAIN YOU SAW THE PICTURE OF THE GENTLEMAN'S FACE IT'S NOT PHOTOSHOP. IT IS REAL AND I DON'T KNOW HOW HE SURVIVED IT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. HE MUST HAVE AN INCREDIBLY HARDHEAD BECAUSE HE FELT A STEPS DOWN STRAIGHT ONTO HIS FACE. SO THANKFULLY HE DIDN'T HAVE A BROKEN FACE OR HE IS OKAY TODAY. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN TO A CHILD, AN ELDERLY PERSON ANYBODY FROM THAT MATTER. I AM TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND I FEEL LIKE COUNSEL, MR. SHAUN COSS, MR. LOGAN WINN ARE BASICALLY STANDING IN FRONT OF ME SAYING WERE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH IT. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH IT WHO CAN I GO TO? IF I CAN'T GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? DO I NEED TO FILE A LEGAL MOTION INTO THE COURT? I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. I AM COMING HERE AND ASKING FOR HELP FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT
AND THE MAGISTRATES OFFICE. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I WILL SAY TWO THINGS NUMBER 1 WE ARE HEARING ON SIDE OF THE STORY.
THERE'S ALSO OTHER INFORMATION THAT THE CITY HAS RELATING TO THIS CASE. AND IF SHE, SHE'S INDICATED SHE HAS AN ATTORNEY SHE CAN GET HER ATTORNEY INVOLVED AND I WOULD SUGGEST SHE DO THAT SO THEY CAN HELP HER NAVIGATE ANY LEGAL MEANS
AVAILABLE TO HER. >> IT IS ON THE RECORD SO AGAIN IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, THE LIABILITY NOW LIES WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU YOUR
HONOR, HAVE A GREAT DAY. >> YES, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERNS APPEAR TO BE GENUINE. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO DISCOURAGE YOU, I AM JUST LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN DO HERE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH OUT AGAIN THROUGH THE CITY AND FIND OUT HOW MUCH THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY HAVE LIMITATIONS, TOO, ON WHAT THEY CAN DO. AND WHATEVER YOU LEARN FROM THAT YOU GO FORWARD AND DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO TO PROTECT THE LIVES AND THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE
COMPLEX. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.
>> I THINK WE ARE FINISHED AT THAT POINT.
>> ARE WE ADJOURNED? >>.[CHUCKLE]
>> THERE IS NOBODY ELSE HERE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.
>> WE DID PROPERLY NOTIFY, RIGHT? OKAY. WE ARE ADJOURNED.
