THE MONEY FROM THE FINE IS REQUESTED TO GO TO THE CITY'S TREE FUND.I HAVE PHOTO THAT HE HAS ARE DATE AND TIME STAMPED THAT I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE AS EVIDENCE.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS AND AN EMAIL AUTHORIZATION FOR THE SPEAKING ON MS. TERRELL'S BEHALF.
>> YES, MA'AM. >> SO WE WILL MOVE THOSE IN AS
CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1. >> ADMITTED AS SUCH.
>> AND THE CITY WILL CALL PAUL BERTRAM.
>> PAUL BERTRAM. >> HOW ARE YOU EMPLOYED, SIR? WHAT'S YOUR JOB?
WHAT IS YOUR JOB? >> URBAN FORESTER.
>> THANK YOU. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THE URBAN
>> OKAY. HOW ARE YOU INVOLVED IN THIS CASE?
>> I WAS CALLED WHEN THE TREE WAS REMOVED TO GO OUT AND LOOK
EIGHT. >> AND WHAT KIND OF TREE WAS IT?
>> LAUREL OAK TREE. >> AND WHAT IS USED TO DETERMINE
THE DBH OF THAT OAK TREE? >> SINCE THE TREE WAS ALREADY CUT DOWN WE MEASURED THE STUMP AND THEN SUBTRACTED A FEW INCHES OUT OF IT BECAUSE TYPICALLY THE TREE GETS NARROWER AS IT GROWS
UP A LITTLE BIT. >> AND WHAT IS THE DBH?
>> INDICTMENTER BREDTH HEIGHT. AND THE FLORIDA STATUTE, DOES IT GIVE YOU A LIMITATION ON THE DBH?
>> JUST THE AMOUNT OF FINE I BELIEVE IS THE MAXIMUM FOR
RESIDENTIAL IS $5,000. >> OKAY. AND IN THIS CASE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE REQUEST IS 16 DBH TIMES $250 IS $4,000.
>> YES. >> THE PREVIOUS TREE REMOVAL WERE YOU INVOLVED IN THAT CASE AS WELL?
>> I WAS. >> WHAT KIND OF TREE WAS CUT
DOWN AT THAT POINT IN TIME? >> IT WASN'T COMPLETELY CUT DOWN. IT'S A MIX BETWEEN A LAUREL AND A LIVE OAK BUT IT'S THE SAME TREE.
THE PARTICULAR KIND THAT WAS CUT DOWN ABOUT I BELIEVE 70, 80%.
MAYBE A LITTLE LESS OR LITTLE MORE.
AND THE PERSON AT THE PROPERTY CLAIMED THAT THE PERSON WAS SUPPOSED TO JUST TRIM IT AND THEY WENT OVERBOARD.
>> OKAY. AND IS IT THE SAME OWNERS THIS TIME AROUND?
FOR THAT PROPERTY? >> I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW. OKAY. THAT'S FINE.
>> FOR THIS CASE FOR THE TREE THAT WAS CUT DOWN WAS A PERMIT REQUIRED FOR THAT TREE UNDER OUR CODE?
>> YES. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU. THANK YOU.
>>LY CALL MS. PEGGY -- >> OKAY
>> IT'S MARGARET ARRAIS COMMONLY CALLED PEGGY.
WHAT IS YOUR JOB HERE? >> I'M THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
RESPONSE. >> AND TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE, THE OWNERS FROM THE FIRST VIOLATION AND THE OWNERS FROM THIS
VIOLATION IS IT THE SAME OWNER? >> I BELIEVE IT IS.
DOE HAVE THE FOLDER. DO YOU HAVE THE FOLDER WITH YOU?
[00:10:02]
THE PREVIOUS FOLDER? THAT'S LEFT UP STAIRS. OKAY. I BELIEVE IT IS, YES.>> OKAY. AND I CAN PULL UP A PROPERTY APPRAISER IF NECESSARY
TO CONFIRM THAT. >> I'M LOOKING AT OUR SHEET THAT SAYS OWNERS KEZIA TERRELL. IS THAT ACCURATE TO YOUR
KNOWLEDGE? >> THAT FOR THIS CURRENT ONE?
>> THIS ONE AND THE PRIOR ONE AS WELL.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> WELL, MY COUSIN ACTUALLY LIVES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
HER GRANDMOTHER LIVES HERE IN FORT PIERCE.
. AUNT EMMA HAD ONE OF HER FORMER STUDENTS HELP HER WITH THE YARDWORK AND HAS DONE THAT CONSISTENTLY OVER THE YEARS. SHE ASKED THE GUY TO CLEAN UP THE YARD AND DO THOSE THINGS AND WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE, HE HAD REMOVED THE TREE. WITHOUT HER PERMISSION TO DO SO.
THAT'S HOW WE'RE IN THIS SITUATION.
SO WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR HER IS TO SHARE WITH HER THAT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE -- WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY HIRE A YARD MAN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF THE YARD INSTEAD OF HER GETTING OUT THERE AND THEN SEEING SOMEBODY SAY COME HELP ME. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.
>> YEAH. WHAT'S THE -- ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? >> YES, MA'AM.
WE DID REVIEW THE FILE FROM THE LAST CASE AND THE TESTIMONY WAS PROVIDED IN THAT CASE VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY, THAT SOMEBODY HAD, YOU KNOW, WE ASKED FOR ONE THING, LEFT AND CAME BACK AND TOO MUCH WAS DONE AND THAT'S THE SAME, YOU KNOW, TESTIMONY BEING PROVIDED TODAY. WE HAVE NOW HAD TWO OAK TREES REMOVED FROM THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMITS SO WHILE I UNDERSTAND SOME CIRCUMSTANCES DURING THE FIRST EVENT WE TOOK THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND NO FINES WERE ISSUED IT WAS A $35 PERMIT AND A TREE REPLANTED BUT NOW WE'RE BACK AGAIN THE ONLY REASON THAT THERE IS NO ACTUAL REPEAT VIOLATOR IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO AN ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION.
ON THE LAST CASE BUT HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH A LARGE OAK TREE.
YOU KNOW, 16 ARCHLY AT THE DBH BEING CUT DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT A PERMIT. WHILE IT'S NOT AN OFFICIAL REPEAT VIOLATOR BECAUSE NO ORDER WAS ISSUED THE LAST TIME WE ARE
DEALING WITH A REPEAT VIOLATION. >> OKAY. DAVID, YOU'RE SPEAKING FOR MS. LOWMAN, RIGHT.
THE CITY IS ASKING FOR $4,000. IS THERE AN AGREEMENT YOU ALL COULD COME TO OVER THE AMOUNT REQUESTED IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND WE'LL TELL HER SHE JUST CAN'T STOP ANYBODY AND SAY HELP ME. AND THEN THEY CUT THE TREE DOWN.
AGAIN. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, BECAUSE WE ARE BACK HERE SECOND TIME THAT WAS THE PROCESS WE FOLLOWED THE FIRST TIME. AND THEN HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER WITH THE EXACT SAME VIOLATION WITH A LARGE OAK TREE BEING CUT DOWN WITHOUT A PERMIT AND WE HAVE PRECEDENCE THAT WE HAVE WITH OTHER CASES OF A SIMILAR NATURE.
SO UNFORTUNATELY STAFF IS STICKING TO THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION OF THE $4,000 BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT'S OUR SECOND TIME HERE FOR THE EXACT SAME VIOLATION.
>> IF I MAY, HOW OLD IS MS. TERRELL?
>> MS. TERRELL IS PROBABLY 40.
>> AND SO HER GRANDMOTHER BASICALLY TAKES CARE OVERSEEING
THE PROPERTY? >> MY AUNT TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING HERE IN FORT PIERCE 2 YES.
>> WHAT KIND OF WORK DOES MS. TERRELL DO?
DO YOU KNOW? >> SHE WORKS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN NORTH CAROLINA.
>> WHAT DOES SHE DO THERE? >> SHE'S IN CHARGE OF THE GIFTED PROGRAM. GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM.
[00:15:13]
>> I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS HEARING TODAY.
>> YES. >> SHE COULD HAVE ALSO APPEARED
BY PHONE. >> WELL, SHE ASKED IF WE WOULD CALL HER. SHE WOULD MAKE HERSELF AVAILABLE. TO BE PART OF THE HEARING.
I THINK SHE ADDED THAT TO HER EMAIL AS WELL.
>> CAN I SEE THE EMAIL, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE?
IT'S IN THE PACKET. >> YES, MA'AM.
>> SO THERE'S NOT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THERE'S NOT SPECIFICALLY A REQUEST FOR HER TO APPEAR BY PHONE.
WHAT IT SAYS IS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AS I AM ALSO AVAILABLE BY PHONE AT ANY TIME. SO SHE'S NOT REQUESTING THAT HER PRESENCE BE BY PHONE. THERE IS A PROCESS THAT WE HAVE RELATED TO A FORM THAT HAS TO BE FILLED OUT SO WE CAN VERIFY KIND OF WHO WE'RE CALLING AND I'M ASSUMING BASED ON THE WORDING OF HER EMAIL AND HER AUTHORIZING SOMEONE ELSE THAT WE DID NOT GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS WOULD BE MY ASSUMPTION.
CAT CAN TELL ME IF I'M WRONG. >> I DID NOT RECEIVE A REQUEST.
>> THAT'S A PRETTY HE HAVETY FINE BUT IT -- HEFTY FINE BUT IT WON'T BE THE NURSED TIME WE'VE IMPOSED A HEFTY FINE LIKE THIS BECAUSE SOMEBODY CUT DOWN A TREE.
AND THEN SOME PEOPLE REALIZE THEY MADE A MISTAKE WOULD RIGHT
AWAY TRY TO REPLACE THE TREE. >> MY QUESTION, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IS THIS SAYS ONE LIVE OAK TREE WELL OVER 16 DBH WHICH IS $250 I GUESS PER FOOT SO IT'S A $4,000 TREE.
IS THE OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THAT OR WILL THE CITY
REPLACE THE TREE? >> THE VIOLATION IS ON THE OWNER. THE OWNER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE FINE. >> OKAY. SO WHO PROVIDES THE
TREE I GUESS IS MY QUESTION? >> THAT IS NOT PART OF THE CITY'S REQUEST. IN THE PREVIOUS CASE WHAT HAPPENED IS THEY PAY -- SHE PAID THE $35 PERMIT 2350E AND PLANTED A TREE. THAT WAS A RESOLUTION REACHED WITH THE CITY FOR THE FIRST CASE.
THIS CASE THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT INCLUDING THE PLANTING OF A TREE. IT'S THE $4,000 IS THE
RECOMMENDATION. >> FOR THE FINE.
>> THE REQUEST WAS OF MR. BERTRAM CAN EXPLAIN TO US THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THAT TREE.
>> WE ARE A TREE CITY U.S.A. AND THE TREES BENEFIT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION COMING IN AND HOMEOWNERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES WE WERE WATCHING TREES DISAPPEAR AT AN ALARMING RATE SO WE DO PROTECT WHAT WE HAVE AND THE TREES THAT WE DO PROTECT AT A CERTAIN SIZE ARE MAJESTIC OAKS AND, YOU KNOW, OTHER NATIVE TREES THAT HELP KEEP THE COMMUNITY LOOKING NICE AND PROVIDE FRESH AIR.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF BENEFITS TO IT.
IT'S HELPED QUITE A BIT. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ME LATELY IN QUITE A BIT SO I MEAN THE ORDINANCE IS WORKING.
THAT'S WHY IT'S IN PLACE AND REQUIRED FOR TREE CITY U.S.A.
ALSO. TO GET THAT MEMBERSHIP AND QUALIFY THE CITY FOR BENEFITS AND GRANTS.
>> CAN I ASK YOU WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU OBSERVED OF THE TREE THAT INDICATED THAT IT WAS UNHEALTHY AND NEEDED TO BE
CUT DOWN THAT FAR? >> THAT'S THE ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO -- THAT'S WHY THE WORDING KIND OF SAYS A TREE WELL OVER, IT'S BEING VERY GENEROUS ACTUALLY IN THE DBH MEASUREMENTS IS THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL ONCE THE TREE IS GONE.
COULD IT QUALIFY FOR A PERMIT, IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T TELL UNLESS YOU CAN SEE THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE TREE WAS DEAD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT I COULD NOT TELL.
THE TREE WAS ALREADY CUT DOWN. >> DO WE HAVE THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE ORIGINAL CASE AND DO THEY HAVE ANY GLIMPSES OF THIS
[00:20:03]
TREE IN IT? >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE FILE DID NOT COME DOWN. THE FILE IS STILL UP STAIRS.
>> IT'S RIGHT ON MY DESK. >> AND CAN YOU PROJECT GOOD
>> IN FACT, I MIGHT EVEN BE ON PROPERTY APPRAISER BUT I WILL GO TO GOOGLE EARTH.
>> CAN YOU HELP ME HERE? I BELIEVE THIS IS THE TREE RIGHT
HERE. >> YES, MA'AM THAT'S THE TREE.
>> CAN YOU DROP YOURSELF DOWN OFF OF THIS TREE.
>> I BELIEVE I CAN. AND THE DATE ON THIS PHOTO FROM
GOOD DEALING EARTH IF YOU. >> THAT IS THE TREE.
>> SOMETIMES IT WILL POP UP. >> A NEW VERSION -- AND WE HAVE THE FILE COMING. -- FROM GOOGLE EARTH.
>> THAT IS THE TREE >> SOMETIMES IT WILL POP UP.
>> A NEW VERSION. AND WE HAVE THE FILE COMING.
>> THIS WAS WHAT WAS TAKEN LAST TIME.
>> SO I'VE MARKED THESE AS CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 2.
ARE THESE THE PHOTOS PULLED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL FILE FROM THE
ORIGINAL TREE VIOLATION CASE? >> I DID.
>> IF WE CAN SHOW THIS TO THE RESPONDENT.
>> I NEED TO BRING UP THESE PHOTOS.
>> IS THIS THE ORIGINAL TREE? IS THIS THE FIRST TREE.
>> FIRST VIOLATION TREE. >> THAT'S FROM THE FIRST VIOLATION TREE CASE BUT THE PHOTO YOU CAN SEE IS THIS TREE THAT WAS CUT DOWN. THERE'S ONE PHOTO OF THIS TREE AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER PHOTO SHOWING THE OTHER TREE THAT WAS CUT DOWN SHOWING THE TWO OAK TREES.
>> OKAY. THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
THANK YOU. >> THAT WAS JUST TO GIVE A FRAME OF REFERENCE OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE.
>> WE WILL MOVE THESE IN AS CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 2.
>> ADMITTED AS SUCH. >> I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO ACTUALLY SHOW THIS TO MR. BERTRAM TO SEE IF FROM HIS VIEW OF THAT IF HE CAN GIVE US ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE TREE AND IF YOU CANNOT THAT'S FINE.
THE FRONT SET CURRENT TREE. THE SECOND PAGE IS THE SECOND TREE, THE ORIGINAL TREE CUT DOWN.
CAN YOU GLEAN ANYTHING FROM THAT LITTLE PHOTOGRAPH AND IF YOU
[00:25:01]
CANNOT THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE. >> IT'S, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF THE TWO TREES AND THIS WAS THE ONE WHERE WE FINALLY STOPPED THE GENTLEMAN FROM --
>> I MEANT ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ORIGINAL TREE THAT WAS CUT.
THE TREE WE'RE DEALING WITH TODAY, THAT IS HOW IT LOOKED BACK IN 2021. CAN YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE TREE IN 2021 FROM THAT PHOTO OR NO?
>> ONCE IT'S CUT BACK THAT FAR, IT DOES MAKE THE TREE A LITTLE WEAK AND DOESN'T GROW BACK THE SAME STRUCTURE BUT.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING MY QUESTION.
MY QUESTION IS THAT TREE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, THAT IS WHAT WAS CUT DOWN IN 2023.
SO THE QUESTION IS WOULD IT HAVE CONSCIOUS CAN YOU TELL FROM HOW IT LOOKED IN 2021 IF IT WAS HEALTHY OR NOT IN 2021 TO WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CUT IT DOWN IN 2023 WITH A PROPER PERMIT. AND AND IF YOU CANNOT TELL.
>> IT'S STILL A LITTLE DIFFICULT.
>> ANYTHING FOR THE -- >> NO, MA'AM.
>> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY, DAVID?
>> SO THERE'S NO NEGOTIATION IN THE PRICE? $4,000 IS DEFERENT PRICE. -- DEFINITE PRICE OR A FINE.
>> THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR BUT I WILL LISTEN IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE I'M PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND THAT HAS NO PLACE HERE. BUT I HAD TEN TREES CUT DOWN ONCE AND I HAD TO GET A PERMIT FROM THE COUNTY.
AND THEY WERE SAYING OH YOU HAVE TO COME OUT.
THE TREES WERE LEANING BACKWARDS OVER SOMEBODY'S FENCE AND I SAID YOU KNOW IF THE TREES GO DOWN AND THE FENCE GOES DOWN I'VE DONE ALL I COULD. SO THEY GAVE ME A PERMIT.
BUT ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS ASK. >> THAT'S AUNT EMMA.
SHE'S 90 AND VERY INDEPENDENT. SHE'S VERY HARD OF HEARING.
SO WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO ENSURE HER SAFETY SO WE HAVE TALKED TO HER ABOUT BEING UP AT 4:00, 5:00 IN THE NEW YORK WORKING IN THE YARD AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT SHE'S ACCUSTOMED TO DOING. SO MY COUSIN AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. $4,000 IS AWFULLY STEEP.
SHE DID NOT AUTHORIZE ME TO TALK ON BEHALF OF HER PURSE.
WE DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A FINE.
I'M WILLING TO NEGOTIATE. >> WE TOOK ALL OF THIS INTO CONSIDERATION THE FIRST TIME AND I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THERE'S ALMOST AN EXPECTATION OF REDUCED FINE BECAUSE WE DID YOU TELL THE FIRST TIME. SO THAT IS WHERE I'M STAFF IS HAVING AN ISSUE, WE TOOK ALL OF THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE OCCUPANT'S AGE, EVEN THOUGH THE OWNER IS OF VERY ABLE AGE. WE TOOK ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND GRANTED A MAJOR REDUCTION THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE FOR THIS EXACT SAME EVENT.
AND TWO YEARS LATER IT'S A REPEAT.
AND IT'S THE SAME TESTIMONY BEING PROVIDED THAT THE PERSON WHO IS HANDLING IT, YOU KNOW, IS ELDERLY AND WITHOUT THE OWNER TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE RULES ON THE BOOKS AND WHILE WE WERE MORE THAN GENEROUS THE FIRST TIME, STAFF IS LESS WILLING TO DO SO ON THE FACT THAT WE ALMOST FEEL LIKE THERE WAS AN ANTICIPATION OF IT'S CHEAPER TO ASK FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION.
SO THAT'S WHY STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT WE FOLLOW THE RULES THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS AND ARE REQUESTING THE $4,000 PENALTY. WE'RE HAPPY ALONG WITH THAT.
AND SO, NO, BECAUSE WE ARE HERE AND WE GAVE CONSIDERATION THE
[00:30:04]
FIRST TIME AROUND, WE'RE LESS WILLING TO DO THAT THIS TIME.>> I UNDERSTAND. I THINK I REMEMBER THAT ONE LAST TIME. AND I DON'T WANT TO INTERJECT SOMETHING THAT IT'S TOO MUCH BUT MY MOM IS 92 AND SHE'S IN HER YARD EVERY DAY. AND WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, TELL HER YOU GOT TO GO SIT DOWN NOW BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE APPARENTLY, YOU KNOW, YOUR BULLET PROOF BUT WE'RE NOT. AND THEN SHE DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO CALL IN.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.
SHE'S A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN AND DIDN'T CALL IN.
I HEAR YOU BREATHING HARD DOWN HERE.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY SHE DID NOT REQUEST TO APPEAR BY PHONE BUT IF YOU WANT US TO CALL HER, WE CAN CALL THAT NUMBER THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THAT EMAIL. IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT DONE.
>> WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THAT?
>> I WOULD ASK THAT WE PUT THIS ON RECESS.
WE HAVE ANOTHER TELEPHONIC HEARING SO IF WE COULD RECESS THIS PARTICULAR ONE AND COME BACK TO IT AFTER THE OTHER HEARINGS. OTHER PEOPLE ARE PRESENT.
>> DO WE HAVE TIME FOR THAT? >> IF I STEPPED OUT AND CALLED HER AND SHARED WITH HER THIS $4,000.
>> YES. >> AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK AND
>> BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM HER WHY SHE DIDN'T TAKE PART IN THIS.
>> BECAUSE GRANDMA DID RESPONSIBLE.
WE'LL RECESS THIS CASE AND AFTER YOU'RE DONE COME BACK IN AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.
>> WE'RE GOING TO LET MR. BERTRAM GO UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME REASON YOU WANT HIM TO STAY. OKAY.
>> HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MR. BERTRAM.
[C. 23-1880CE 1727 Okeechobee Rd 1727 Okeechobee, LLC Charmaine Kirkland]
OUR NEXT CASE IS 23-1880, 1727 OKEECHOBEE ROAD.1727 OKEECHOBEE, LLC. >> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD AND YOURSELF. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, YOUR HONOR.
>> ALL RIGHT. WHEN YOU'RE READY.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, YOUR HONOR. CASE NUMBER 23-1880, 1727 OKEECHOBEE ROAD. CASE INITIATED JULY 6TH, 2023.
VIOLATOR 1727 OKEECHOBEE LLC. REGISTERED AGENT IS -- KUMAR.
VIOLATION REMOVAL OF SECTION 117-3 SUBSECTION B REMOVAL OF SIGNS. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLEASE REMOVE OR REPAIR TAZING SIGN. A PERMIT MAY BE REQUIRED.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONTACT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT VIA EMAIL PLANNING AT CITY OF FORT PIERCE.COM.
RECOMMENDATION THE CITY REQUEST AS AS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THE VIOLATORS BE GIVEN FIVE DAYS TO COMPLY OR FINE OF $100 PER DAY BE ASSESSED. IF NOT CORRECTED THE CITY IS TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO REMEDY THE VIOLATION.
I DO HAVE PHOTOS TO NOTE THE TIME AND DATE OF THE VIOLATION.
HAS MR. YATES SEEN THE PHOTOGRAPHS?
>> THAT'S FINE. I'VE SEEN THEM.
YOUR HONOR WE'RE ASKING TO CNTINUE THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK THE -- THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT CAUSING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE SIGN. IT'S ABOUT A $35,000 COST TO REPAIR THE SIGN R AND WE ASK THAT THIS BE CONTINUED SO THAT
[00:35:02]
WE CAN GET THE NOUN REPAIR THE SIGN.>> THE CITY IS NOT IN AGREEMENT TO A CONTINUANCE, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. THIS IS FROM JULY OF 2023.
>> HAS A LAWSUIT BEEN FILED? >> OH, YES, YES OR NO.
WE HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT AND THAT CASE NUMBER IS --
>> I TRUST YOU. I'VE KNOWN YOU A LONG TIME AT
THIS TIME TRUST YOU. >> YES, MA'AM.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF MOVING THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN. I JUST WANT TO MOVE THOSE IN AND
HAVE THEM ADMITTED. >> THEY'LL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH.
>> YOUR HONOR, MR. KUMAR WHO IS HERE AND IS THE OWNER OF 1727 OKEECHOBEE, LLC, WANTS TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS QUICKLY AS THE CITY DOES. PROBABLY MORE SO.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE LAWSUIT TO CAUSE THAT TO
HAPPEN. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
I THINK YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE SIGN I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS DAMAGED BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED. JUST BECAUSE A LAWSUIT WAS FILED. I THINK IF I CAN VERIFY WITH STAFF REMOVING IT WOULD ALSO COMPLY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AND REPLACED AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S PRETTY RUSTED TO BEGIN WITH SIGN WOULD COMPLY.
>> YES, MA'AM. >> WE WOULD ASK TO CONTINUE THIS SO THAT WE CAN GET THE SIGN PAID FOR TO BE REPAIRED.
I APOLOGIZE THAT THE COURT SYSTEM IS WHAT IT IS, BUT WE'RE
DEALING WITH THAT. >> HAVE YOU OR YOUR CLIENT AS SPOKEN TO ANYBODY ABOUT REPLACING OR REMOVING THE SIGN?
>> YOUR HONOR, THERE'S AN ESTIMATE -- AUDIO]
CAN YOU APPROACH THE MICROPHONE SO I CAN SWEAR YOU IN, PLEASE?
>> SURE. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
>> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THE TESTIMONY YOU GIVE WILL BE THE
>> SO IT'S AFFECTING THE BUSINESS MODEL ALL THE TENANTS ARE COMPLAINING THAT THERE'S NO SIGN.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A LOT QUICKER TO DO IT BUT THE INSURANCE WITH THE LAWSUIT IT'S A MULTICAR ACCIDENT SO AS MR. YATES HAS STATED, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT BUT IT'S
TAKING LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED. >> DO THEY GIVE YOU BALLPARK PRICE FOR THE SIGN TO BE REPLACED?
>> I'M SORRY? >> THAT'S TO REPAIR?
>> YES. >> DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE TO
YOU KNOW. I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO REMOVE IT AND FORGET IT, YOU KNOW. I WANT A REPLACEMENT OF THE SIGN BECAUSE IT'S AFFECTING THE BUSINESS AND THE TENANTS.
>> BUT THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD PUT UP A TEMPORARY SIGN INSIDE
THE BOX. >> THE STRUCTURE IS DAMAGED.
>> CAN I ASK IS THE -- IS THE REPAIRING OF THIS SIGN ARE YOU GOING TO BE REPAIRING WHAT'S ACTUALLY THERE OR ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A WHOLE NEW SIGN? ?
>> THEY HAVE TO PUT A WHOLE NEW SIGN IN BECAUSE IT'S BENT.
>> SO WHY CAN'T WE REMOVE WHAT'S THERE NOW SO THAT YOU HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE CITY AND THEN YOU DO THE LAWSUIT FOR THEM TO
[00:40:01]
RE -- MA'AM, COULD I ASK YOU TO STEP OUTSIDE BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME CONDUCTING THE PROCEEDINGS.AND THEN THROUGH THE LAWSUIT THEY PAY YOU WHAT IT COSTS TO
PUT YOU IN A NEW SIGN. >> I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE COST OF REMOVING THE SIGN IN THE
INTERIM. >> HOW MANY CARS WERE INVOLVED
>> WAS ANYBODY CITED? >> WE SUED THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS CHARGED WITH CAUSING THE ACCIDENT.
VIOLATING THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THE CAR.
>> AND HE DID -- HE OR SHE DID HAVE INSURANCE.
>> YES. >> THE COMPANY HAS FILED AN ANSWER.
>> THE CITY INVESTIGATED THE ACCIDENT AND ISSUED A TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT.
>> I'M LOOKING AT THE LAWSUIT, MR. YATES.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE -- SO FOR THE ESTIMATE, IT SAYS THEY WILL MANUFACTURE AND INSTALL ONE DOUBLE SIDED LED ILLUMINATED SIGN FOR TENANTS FLAT WHITE ACRYLIC PANELS WITH VINYL LETTERING. BOTTOM PORTION WILL HAVE OPTIC DISPLAY FULL COLOR ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER.
IS THAT WHAT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY OR IS THAT AN ENHANCEMENT ON WHAT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY?
>> THAT WOULD BE AN ENHANCEMENT ON WHAT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY.
AND WE CAN CERTAINLY NEGOTIATE WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO IN ANY BETTERMENT THAT WOULD -- COST.
>> YEAH BECAUSE I MEAN THIS IS -- I MEAN, HE SAYS HE'S LOSING BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THE SIGNS BUT HE'S GOT ENOUGH SIGNS OUT THERE.
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROPERTY BEING DAMAGED BUT YOU DO HAVE SIGNS OUT THERE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT THE BUSINESS
IS OPEN. >> WHEN CARS ARE DRIVING THEY LOOK AT --
>> YOU'VE GOT ONE RIGHT BY THE ROAD.
>> BUT AT NIGHTTIME YOU CAN'T SEE IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I MEAN ALL OF US SOMETIMES HAVE TO GIVE AND TAKE A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW.
AND THESE INSURANCE COMPANIES TAKE FOREVER TO SETTLE.
>> YES AND THAT'S WHY I MADE THE SUGGESTION OF WHY DON'T WE JUST REMOVE IT NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE THAT WILL COMPLY OUR ISSUE. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT AT LEAST THAT WILL ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE FROM
THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE. >> SO THEN IF I ELIMINATE IT THEN INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO COME IN AND CHECK IT THEN IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO INSPECT.
>> I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER YOU TO MR. YATES ON GIVING YOU ADVICE
ON THAT ONE. >> I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.
>> BUT IT WAS INVESTIGATED. IT'S ALREADY BEEN INVESTIGATED.
>> BY THE PHOTOS. >> THE POLICE SHOWED UP AFTER
>> AND HOW MANY CARS WERE INVOLVED, YOU SAID TWO?
>> TWO. >> SO THIS ISN'T LIKE YOU GOT A BARGE R BUNCH OF PEOPLE OUT THERE FIGHTING OVER THIS.
>> AND I DO KNOW THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE SLOW.
OKAY. >> WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE
CARRIERS FOR BOTH DRIVERS. >> YOU'RE SAYING IT'S NOT RUST.
[00:45:46]
>> THE CONDITION OF THE SIGN IS IN NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR
REMOVED. >> OKAY. THERE'S NO OTHER BAND AID FIX THAT COULD BE DONE AT THIS POINT.
IT EITHER NEEDS TO BE REMOVED OR REPLACED AND YES REMOVING IT WOULD COMPLY THE VIOLATION AND THE REPLACEMENT WITH A NICE MONUMENT SIGN WITH AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE COULD COME AT A LATER DATE BUT THIS IS IN MY OPINION A SAFETY HAZARD.
THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE IF IT FALLS.
>> LOOKING AT THAT. >> STAFF IS OF THE OPINION WHICH IS WHY WE HAD THE FIVE DAYS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION BECAUSE THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE CONDITION IT'S IN.
>> YOUR HONOR, I CAN'T SEE HOW THE SIGN WOULD BE ANYMORE OF A HAZARD NOW THAN IT WAS BEFORE IT WAS DAMAGED.
I MEAN, A SIGN IS A SIGN. AND IT HAS A SUBSTANTIAL POST.
>> THAT'S WHY WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S YOUR DECISION, JUST TEMPORARILY PUT A FIX OVER IT, SOME BOARDS OR SOMETHING BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THE CITY HAS TO
APPROVE IT NOW. >> THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS INDICATING BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A PIECE AT THE TOP THAT'S ABOUT TO FALL OFF.
>> AND THERE WOULD NOT BE A WAY TO DO A TEMPORARY FIX ON IT.
>> SO I MEAN, IT DIDN'T JUST GET THIS WAY.
IT WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
>> NO, MA'AM. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?
>> LOOK AT THE -- ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE PICTURE ON THE
>> TELL ME WHAT -- >> THAT HAPPENED WHEN THE ACCIDENT -- WHEN THE CAR STRUCK IT WHEN THE TRUCK STRUCK IT.
>> I'M LOOKING AT THE PHOTO WITH BRICKS AT THE BOTTOM TRYING TO BALANCE IT AND HOLD IT UP ON ONE OF THE PICTURES THE ONE DATED
DECEMBER 5, 2023, AT 9:46. >> I DON'T THINK THAT THOSE.
>> THE PIECES ARE THERE TO HELP SUSTAIN AND SUPPORT IT.
I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BUT THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SIGN.
>> DECEMBER 5, 2023. PHOTOGRAPH.
TWO 2 BY FOURS AND LYING NEXT TO THE SIGN AND THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL BOX THAT POWERS THE SIGN.
>> IT'S ALMOST I THINK PUT INSIDE THE FLOOR.
>> I'M NOT SAYING IT'S YOUR FAULT.
YOU DIDN'T CAUSE THE ACCIDENT BUT THE SIGN IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY.
AND IT'S ON OKEECHOBEE ROAD RIGHT? AND YOU GET SOME KID THERE ON A BICYCLE OR A MOTOR BIKE OR
WHATEVER. >> WE DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRICAL SO THERE'S NO ELECTRICAL.
IT DOESN'T LIGHT UP. IT DOESN'T LIGHT UP AND THERE'S NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AESTHETICALLY I AGREE IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO EXPEDITE IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BUT LIKE YOU SAID INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE --
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M FOCUSING ON. TRYING TO GET IT EXPEDITED.
>> YOUR HONOR, IF YOU WOULD CONTACT THE COURT AND HELP US MOVE THIS ALONG THAT WOULD BE A WONNED REFUL THING.
[00:50:10]
BUT I'LL CONTINUE THIS FOR A MONTH.I'LL DAINTY FOR A MONTH. >> I CAN'T GET INVOLVED IN YOUR
LITIGATION. >> I CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE THE
COMPANY WITH -- >> AND IT IS A SHAME THAT MR. KUMAR IS THE VICTIM HERE. I WISH THAT THE CITY WOULD GIVE US SOME OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE THE LAWSUIT.
>> I'M NOT TRYING TO RUSH THE LITIGATION BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PUSH THOSE INSURANCE COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY'LL TAKE YOUR PREMIUMS EVERY MONTH FOR YEARS AND THEN IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU NOTHING.
>> INSURANCE STILL HASN'T FIXED IT.
>> THAT'S CAMPAIGNSS. >> CAN WE HAVE 60 DAYS, YOUR HONOR?
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE'RE OBJECTING TO ANY CONTINUANCE PERIOD. WE BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED
IMMEDIATELY. >> I CAN'T SEE HOW IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WHAT I HAVE TO ASK THE CITY IN WHAT RESPECT IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD ANYMORE THAN IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.
>> CAN YOU ALL COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON HOW LONG THIS EXTENSION IS I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU?
>> NO, MA'AM. WE'RE ASKING FOR A ZERO EXTENSION.
>> AND WE'RE ASKING FOR 60 DAYS. >> WELL BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN
JULY AND THIS IS NOVEMBER. >> WE'VE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED
THE CARRIERS FOR THOSE VEHICLES. >> I'M SORRY.
WE HAVE CODE CASES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY THAT ARE DONE DUE TOE A VARIETY OF DAMAGE FROM WIND STORMS TO ACCIDENTS TO FIRES TO, YOU KNOW, VANDALISM BUT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE STILL ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT THE VIOLATIONS ARE CORRECTED REGARDLESS OF WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE.
SO WE CAN'T HOLD ALL OF OUR CODE CASES TO ALLOW FOR COURT CASES TO CONTINUE. WE HAVE VIOLATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE. WE HAVE -- WE START THIRD DEGREE CASE. WE STARTED THE CASE IN JULY.
ALLOWING IT TO GO UNTIL NOVEMBER BEFORE WE BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S A PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THERE'S DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECTING THE DAMAGE REGARDLESS OF WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE CORRECTION.
WE'RE MORE THAN WILLING TO ACCEPT THE REMOVAL OF THE SIGN WITH THE CAPPING OF THE ELECTRIC TO COMPLY WITH OUR ISSUE AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE POSITION OF THE RESPONDENT SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN WILLING TO REMOVE THE SIGN THAT'S OUR HALFWAY. THAT'S OUR GIVE.
AND WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN.
SO THAT IS WHY STAFF IS NOT WILLING TO GO FOR AN ADDITIONAL CONTINUATION. THERE IS DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
IT IS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT IT.
WE'VE ALLOWED FIVE MONTHS AT THIS POINT NOW TO GO.
AND SO WE'RE ASKING THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO MAKE A RULING.
>> AND YOUR HONOR I AM STILL WONDERING WHAT IS THE DANGER POSED BY THIS SIGN AND IF THE SIGN IS REMOVED, IS THERE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM PERMITTING ANOTHER SIGN? I REPRESENTED THE BUYERS OF THE NO WALK MOTEL THAT ON JUST SOUTH ON U.S. 1 FROM DELAWARE AND THE CITY, AFTER REQUIRING THE SIGN BE REMOVED, REFUSED TO GIVE IT A PERMIT.
>> HOW LONG AGO? >> TO RECONSTRUCT IT.
>> HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT? >> IT WAS PROBABLY AT LEAST SIX
[00:55:13]
OR EIGHT YEARS AGO. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
I'VE BEEN ON THIS JOB A LOCK TIME NOW -- A LONG TIME NOW AND I FIND THAT THE CITY DOES TRY ABE WORK WITH PEOPLE.
-- AND WORK WITH PEOPLE BUT YOU HAVE A HAZARD HERE.
THAT SIGN IS LEANING. >> I STILL CAN'T SEE HOW IT IS A HAZARD ANYMORE THAN IT WAS ORIGINALLY AND WHAT RESPECT IS IT SOMEHOW MORE DANGEROUS THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
>> IT'S NOT A STABLE SIGN. IT'S LEANING OVER.
YOU HAVE PIECES THAT ARE STARTING TO FALL OFF.
THAT TOP PIECE ON THE BOTTOM WHICH IS YOUR BOTTOM BASE OF YOUR RECTANGULAR SIGN IS FALLING OFF.
AND HAVE YOU THE SIGN LEANING. IT'S BEEN HIT BY A VEHICLE SO THE STABILIZATION OF IT WAS MESSED UP FOR LACK OF A BETTER
TERM THE SECOND THE CAR HIT IT. >> IF THE -- ARE THE PIECES
IT CAME DOWN. BUT IF YOU WANT I CAN REMOVE IT BUT COULD YOU GIVE US TIME MAYBE THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL RESPOND AND MAYBE WRITE A LETTER THAT THE CODE AUDIO] OR FIX IT I REMOVE IT. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR TIME.
YOU KNOW. >> I DON'T WANT THEM TO DISQUALIFY MY CASE BECAUSE OF THAT.
NOW THE CITY SAYS WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU PUT A SIGN
THERE. >> I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY --
>> TO BE CLEAR NOBODY SAID YOU CAN'T PUT A SIGN THERE.
AND IT'S METAL AND -- >> BUT I WOULD ASK THE CITY TO COME AND PUSH AGAINST THE SIGN. I'M CONFIDENT THAT IT IS STILL
VERY. >> NOBODY IN THE CITY IS GOING
TO GO PUSH OVER A SIGN. >> I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYBODY TO
DO THAT. >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU COULD. I DON'T THINK YOU COULD PULL IT
OVER WITH A TOW TRUCK. >> BUT HERE'S ANOTHER MIGHT BE MAYBE OKAY -- WE'RE IN A HURRICANE SEASON IT'S ABOUT OVER. THANK GOD.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS RAINS HERE.
>> I THINK IT ENDED DECEMBER 1ST.
>> BUT IF IT RAINS AND THAT SIGN TILTS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND YOU COULD HAVE KIDS THERE.
SO THAT IS MY CONCERN. AND YOU'VE GOT SOME SIGNS UP THERE THAT CLEARLY SHOWS WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS THERE.
I CAN CLEARLY SEE THEM. >> I'M SORRY, YOUR HONOR.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU. >> I DON'T SEE WHY -- I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU 30 DAYS. PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE INSURANCE COMPANY. AND THEN LET'S SEE WHERE WE ARE.
>> THANK YOU. >> COULD YOU GIVE US A WRITTEN RECORD THAT IN 30 DAYS THIS HAS TO BE DOWN OR REPLACED SO THEN WE CAN GET THE INSURANCE TO LISTEN WE'RE GOING TO -- LITIGATION BUT I'M WILLING TO GIVE YOU 30 DAYS.
YOU HAVE A VERY COMPETENT LAWYER HERE.
>> I CAN -- DOES THE CLERK MAKE NOTE OF --
>> YOU'LL GET AN ORDER SAYING THAT YOU'VE GOT 30 DAYS TO TRY AND GET THIS RESOLVED. INSURANCE COMPANIES MOST OF THE TIME NO OFFENSE BUT MOST OF THE TIME YOU KNOW THEY PUSH BACK.
>> THEY ALWAYS DO. >> LEAST WE CAN SAY LISTEN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THIS
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN. >> THAT WOULD BE A FINDING A
VIOLATION WOULD SAY THAT. >> I CAN'T DO THAT.
>> I WILL TAKE IT DOWN IN 30 DAYS AS LONG AS I LET THEM KNOW.
I'M TELLING YOU THERE WILL BE A WRITTEN ORDER ISSUED PROBABLY THIS WEEK. AND YOU'LL GET A COPY OF THAT.
>> HARD TO -- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAY SNOWING THAT'S ANOTHER FACTOR I'M LOOKING AND I'M OUT OF STATE.
>> I'M DEALING WITH ONE RIGHT NOW.
THEY CAME OUT AND SENT SOME OTHER GUY OUT AND STILL HAVEN'T COME BACK SO THIS WAS A MONTH AGO.
>> I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AGAIN.
I JUST WANT DIRECTION SO I CAN GET -- TAKE CARE OF THAT WITH
THE I THINKS COMPANY. >> I THINK WE'VE CLEARLY EXPLAINED WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU DO.
>> SO IF THE REQUEST IS SOMETHING IN WRITING SAYING YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF TIME TO REMOVE THIS SIGN THAT WOULD BE AN ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION. IN WHICH CASE IT WOULD SAY YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF TIME TO REMOVE THE SIGN OR REPAIR IT OR A FINE
[01:00:01]
OF X AMOUNT PER DAY WILL BE ASSESSED BUT WHAT YOU'RE ATTORNEY HAS ASKED TO CONTINUE THE CASE SO THAT VIOLATION IS NOT ENTERED SO THAT PAPERWORK WOULD NOT EXIST IF YOUR CASE IS CONTINUED TO ANOTHER HEARING DATE.>> I WILL RELATE THAT TO THE CARRIER.
>> YEAH. BECAUSE THEY'RE MOVING SLOW.
AT MY HOUSE. AND SHUT DOWN ONE OF THE BATHROOMS. SO ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> ARE WE CONTINUING THIS TO A DATE CERTAIN?
>> SO YOU GOT MORE THAN 30 DAYS. JANUARY 10TH.
>> THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. >> YOU'RE WELCOME.
AND I'M SORRY FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE BUT.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO GET AN ORDER WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
>> NO, MA'AM. >> I'M SORRY I'M TELLING YOU I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU UNTIL JANUARY 10TH THAT SHOULD GIVE
YOU ENOUGH TIME. >> I WILL RELATE THE CITY'S POSITION. TO THE CARRIER.
>> FAIN THE SIGN IS REMOVED BEFORE JANUARY 10TH THERE'S NO
NEED TO COME BACK. >> THERE'S NO CASE.

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE. FOUND THE OWNER IN VIOLATION AND ORDERED TEN DAYS TO COMPLY OR A FINE OF $100.
ON JUNE 22ND, 2023, AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS ISSUED.
JULY 5TH OF THIS YEAR A LETTER WAS SENT.
JULY 11TH OF 2023 REQUEST FOR A MASSEY HEARING RECEIVED.
NOVEMBER 28TH OF 2023 AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE ISSUED FINES STOPPED. BALANCE AS OF 122623 IT IS $15,900. I HAVE PHOTOS FROM THE CASE IF
6. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE COMPLIANCE IS VERY NEW. I ACTUALLY JUST GOT THE PAPERWORK BACK ON MY DESK TODAY SO FOURNTLY, I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO DO THE ADMINISTRATION COST THAT I WOULD NORMALLY DO BECAUSE IT JUST IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
BUT WE CAN GO OVER THE MASSEY CRITERIA QUICKLY.
THE GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION WAS MODERATE.
IT WAS A LANDSCAPING ISSUE. BUT IT WAS A LARGE ISSUE.
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE. YOU CAN SEE ON THIS PAPERWORK HERE IT WAS NOT MARKED IN COMPLIANCE.
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE PATHWAYS NOW IN THE HOUSE AND PROPERTY STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
WE DID MARK IT IN COMPLIANCE JUST RECENTLY.
>> OKAY. GOOD. ANY PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS COMMITTED BY THE VIOLATOR THERE WERE NONE.
>> I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THE PHOTOS THAT ARE RECENT. JUST IN THIS PHOTO HERE THE FACT -- YOU CAN SEE THE HOUSE. WHICH IN PRIOR PHOTOS I CAN BRING UP ONE PRIOR PHOTO TO SHOW SHOW THAT YOU COULD NOT DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING. THERE'S NO HOUSE TO BE FOUND HERE. SO BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE, YOU KNOW, STAFF DID MOVE TO COMPLY THIS CASE. IT'S JUST A FINE.
THIS IS A MASSEY HEARING. IT'S NOT LIENS.
JUST FINES CLOSE TO $16,000. I MENTIONED I'M NOT ABLE TO GIVE A FIRM ADMIN COST BECAUSE IT'S NEW BUT THE AMOUNT DUE IS IN
[01:25:05]
YOUR HANDS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO WITH.>> WELL SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR WHAT BECAUSE WE'RE KIND OF IN A HYBRID AT THIS POINT RIGHT BECAUSE WHAT WAS SENT OUT ORANYLLY TO HER WAS A NOTICE THAT -- A NOTICE THAT THE FINES BEGAN TO RUN. RIGHT.
FINES -- RIGHT. SO SO TYPICALLY WHERE WE WOULD BE AT THIS POINT WOULD BE A REDUCTION OR IF NOT PAID A WOULD BE ENTERED. I THINK MY REQUEST IS TO STOP THE FINES TODAY AND BRING THIS BACK IN JANUARY FOR ADMIN COSTS AND GIVE HER TIME TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU DO ADMIN COSTS.
>> NO. I NEED THE FILE AND SIT DOWN AND
GO THROUGH THE ADMIN COSTS. >> IS THAT OKAY. ARE YOU OKAY WITH DOING THAT? THAT WAY --
>> I'M OKAY WITH CONTINUING IT TO JANUARY BECAUSE WHEN THIS HEARING WHEN ALL OF THIS LAST WEEK WHEN WE WERE DOING THIS IT WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE. WE'VE NOW MOVED INTO COMPLIANCE AND I'VE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO DO THE PAPERWORK.
NOT NECESSARILY FAIR TO MS. HARVEY WITHOUT ME HAVING THAT INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, LETTING HER KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT SHE'S DONE AND WE'RE WILLING TO REDUCE IT AT THIS TIME JUST DON'T HAVE A NUMBER TO
PROVIDE AT THIS TIME. >> ARE YOU OKAY STOPPING THE FINES TODAY? WE'LL COME BACK IN JANUARY.
>> NO. THEY STOPPED BECAUSE WE STOPPED
I'M SORRY. >> BECAUSE THEY'RE IN
COMPLIANCE. >> SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
ADDRESSING WHAT ACCUMULATE. >> SO MS. HARVEY CAN YOU COME BACK IN JANUARY SO WE CAN DO THOSE NUMBERS TO SEE WHAT IT CAN
BE REDUCED TO? >> I'M READY JUST TO GO AND CUT
EVERYTHING DOWN IN MY YARD. >> YOU'RE DONE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT ANYTHING DOWN ANYMORE.
YOU'RE DONE. YOU COMPLIED ALL OF THAT.
SO YOU DID WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO.
NOW THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT THERE WERE FINES ON THE PROPERTY AND WHAT WE CAN CALCULATE IS WHAT OUR ACTUAL COST WAS TO ADMINISTER THE CASE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN BRING THAT DOWN TO TO
HELP YOU OUT. >> I DON'T HAVE --
I CAN'T. I HAVE BEEN WORKING AND I DON'T HAVE ANY FANCY ELECTRICAL STUFF THAT I CAN CUT A TREE DOWN OR CUT A BUSH DOWN. I'VE DONE IT ALL BY MY HANDS.
MY BACK IS KILLING ME. I CANNOT EVEN WALK.
I LOVE MY YARD. I HAVE GOTTEN RID OF
THREE-FOURTHS OF THINGS. >> MS. HARVEY.
>> I KNOW BUT I'VE HAD IT. I'VE HAD IT.
>> WE THANK YOU. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

REFER TO IT AS A SIDE BAR. >> YES.
>> AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL WORK. HOW IS IT PAID? LUMP SUM? WE CAN GIVE YOU TIME OR HER TIME TO PAY, WHOEVER IS PAYING IT. IT WILL BE ORDERED AGAINST THE OWNER. WHEREVER THE MONEY COMES FROM THAT'S WHERE IT COMES FROM LEGALLY I GUESS I SHOULD SAY.
COMPLETE JOKE. BUT WE CAN GIVE YOU THE TIME TO PAY SO IF YOU NEED HOW FAR ARE WE DOING.
12 MONTHS, A YEAR. SO WE CAN GIVE A YEAR TO PAY IT.
AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY IT IN A LUMP SUM.
YOU CAN MAKE PAYMENTS AS YOU WANT.
