>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS? IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING WE WILL SEE IT LATER. THESE ARE THE CITY PHOTOGRAPHS
[00:05:02]
THAT WE WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT FIRST. MISS KIRKLAND YOU PASSED UP A NOTICE OF VIOLATION THAT WENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPHS DATED FEBRUARY 6 AND MARCH 11. WERE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY YOU?>> YES . >> DO THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TRULY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT THE VIOLATION AS YOU OBSERVED IT?
>> YES. >> AT THIS TIME WE MOVE THAT THIS BE CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT NUMBER ONE IN. -- 1.
>> I WILL ACCEPT THIS AS CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1.
>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE VIOLATION IS, EXACTLY?
>> THE VIOLATION IS LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS SO, IN THE FRONT, PER THE CITY ORDINANCE THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION FOR THE LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE IS 4 FEET.
>> WHEN YOU OBSERVED THESE HEDGES IN FRONT OF THE HOME ARE
THEY LONGER THAN 4 FEET? >> YES .
>> APPROXIMATELY HOW TALL ARE THEY?
>> MAYBE ABOUT 6 FEET. >> IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER YOU
>> HAVE YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. MAGUIRE?
>> YES. HE VISITED OUR OFFICE ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND WE DID EXPLAIN, MYSELF AND OFFICER ISAAC SAUCEDO DID EXPLAIN THE
NATURE OF THE VIOLATION . >> MR. UGG WIRE?
>> I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY MY FENCES LIKE THAT. THERE WERE REPORTS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I CAN GO -- BUT 4 FEET DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. I KNOW THE LADY THAT MADE THE COMPLAINT. SHE RECEIVED THE REPORT. YOU CAN OPEN THIS WAY.
AND THE REPORT, YOU SAID IT IS FOR --.
>> THANK YOU FOR THIS TO OUR ATTENTION. IF YOU DO NOTICE VIOLATIONS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD I INVITE YOU TO REPORT THEM AND LET THE PROCESS PLAY OUT FOR THEM AND IN TERMS OF YOUR PARTICULAR PROPERTY, YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT THE REASON YOU HAD IT UP THAT HIGH WAS BECAUSE YOU HAD DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY.
AND MISS HOLLIMAN MAYBE YOU CAN EDUCATE ME HERE. IS THERE AN
EXCEPTION FOR THIS? >> I CAN READ TO YOU ABOUT THE CODE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THERE IS AN EXCEPTION MADE FOR SAFETY BUT AN EXCEPTION CAN BE MADE WITH WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION OF THE CITY ENGINEER. IT SAYS HERE UNDER 125-322, THE APPLICANT SNOW FENCE WALL OR HEDGE SHALL BE WITHIN TO ENCLOSE A DRAINAGE EASEMENT EXCEPT DUST FENCES, WALLS, AND HEDGES MAY BE PERMITTED WITHIN UTILITY EASEMENTS SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT OF THE CITY. THEY MENTION HERE ALL FENCES, WALLS, AND HEDGES MUSK COMPLY WITH SECTION 25-308. THERE ARE CONDITIONAL USES AND PERMITTING. THERE IS A MAXIMUM -- THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT. TO A HEIGHT GREATER THAN IS APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT SECTION. IT DEPENDS ON THE ZONING DISTRICT POTENTIALLY, IF THERE IS AN AGREEMENT BY THE CITY ENGINEER IF IT IS WITHIN A DRAINAGE EASEMENT. BUT, I AM NOT
[00:10:05]
AWARE OF ANYTHING REGARDING SAFETY AS BEING A WAIVER OF THEREQUIREMENT BY THE CITY. >> SO, MR. AGUIRRE , HAVE YOU HAD A CITY ENGINEER SIGN OFF ON SOME SORT OF VARIATION AWAY FROM
THE FOREFOOT REQUIREMENT? >> THE QUESTION IS, WHEN I WANT TO PUT A FENCE UP IN MY HOUSE, -- I UNDERSTAND SO, I SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT CALLS FOR PLANS.
>> SO, BASICALLY, YOU HAVE NOT HAD A CITY ENGINEER SIGN OFF ON THIS? WHAT I AM SEEING HERE IS A SITUATION WHERE OUR ORDINANCE SAYS IT HAS TO BE 4 FEET UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTRA DONE. UNLESS YOU HAVE THE CITY ENGINEER SIGN OFF ON IT OR THERE ARE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AND THOSE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN ARGUED BEFORE ME SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ORDINANCE. IF IT IS 4 FEET IT HAS TO BE 4 FEET. IS THAT
CLEAR? >> I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH -- THAT HAS BROKEN MY WINDOWS. IT IS SAFE FOR NOW, FOR MY FAMILY BUT AFTER YOU SIGN THE PAPER, THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE
INDISCERNABLE ]. >> MY POSITION HERE IS NOT TO GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE. I AM HERE TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE ISSUES THAT COME BEFORE ME SO, UNFORTUNATELY, MY DECISION HERE IS THAT THE ORDINANCE READS ONE WAY AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT.
ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT I WOULD SUGGEST YOU SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL TO GIVE YOU ADVICE ON THINGS THAT YOU CAN MANEUVER FROM
THERE. ANYTHING ELSE? >> THE QUESTION, CAN YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE?
>> I DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE LAW. I JUST HAVE TO INTERPRET WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US SO I CAN GIVE YOU TIME TO FIX IT, TO FIX THE ISSUE SO BRING IT DOWN TO 4 FEET BUT, I
CANNOT CHANGE THE LAW. >> HOW LONG?
>> I AM PREPARED TO GIVE YOU 10 DAYS. IS THAT ENOUGH TIME TO
LOWER IT? >> I WILL TRY TO FIND AN
ENGINEER. >> HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU
>> MISS KIRKLAND. >> IF I MAY, MR. AGUIRRE IS I GUESS MISUNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION BECAUSE HE BELIEVES BECAUSE THE VIOLATION SAYS FENCES, HE BELIEVES THAT I AM REFERRING TO A FENCE BUT I AM REFERRING TO THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT OF HIS FRONT HEDGES SO THE VIOLATION STATES THAT BUT IF YOU CONTINUE TO READ THAT I AM ADDRESSING THE HEDGES, THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION ON THE HEDGES. NOT THE FENCE. HE WENT TO THE PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO SEE ABOUT GETTING A FENCE AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM AND OFFICER SAUCEDO EXPLAINED IT IS NOT ABOUT THE FENCE. IT IS ABOUT THE HEDGES THAT ARE OVER
THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT . >> MR. AGUIRRE, DO WE UNDERSTAND
THIS IS ABOUT THE HEDGES? >> YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND BUT,
FOR EXAMPLE, -- . >> CAN I JUST JUMP IN? THE WAY SECTION DASHES, IN THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION THAT HE RECEIVED IT WAS PROBABLY CONDENSED AND MADE SMALLER BUT THE ACTUAL CODE READS FENCES, WALLS, AND HEDGES AND THAT INCLUDES OVERGROWN BUSHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WHAT DOES THE NOTICES SAY
SPECIFICALLY? >> IT SAYS FENCES AND HEIGHT
RESTRICTIONS. >> IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I
SHOULD BE CONSIDERING? >> TWO MONTHS IS A LITTLE
[00:15:07]
EXCESSIVE FOR TRIMMING DOWN THE TREES. STAFF WOULD BE -- WOULD RECOMMEND PROBABLY 30 DAYS. BUT TWO MONTHS WOULD BE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE CASE HAS BEEN OPEN SINCEJANUARY. >> MR. AGUIRRE, ARE YOU PREPARED TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITHIN 30 DAYS ?
>> COURTS THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS AND THE FOLLOWING BE ORDERED.
THE VIOLATOR BE GIVEN 10 DAYS TO: CUT AND TRIM ALL HEDGES IN THE FRONT YARD TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE OF 4 FEET. FAILURE TO COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDERED WILL RESULT IN A FINE OF $100 PER DAY BEING ASSESSED. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> 30 DAYS TO APPEAL. ANSWER, YOU WILL HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL THIS DECISION.
>> THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. AROUND MY HOUSE, YOU SEE, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THAT. WHY ONLY ME?
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN TO VOICE YOUR POSITION, MR. AGUIRRE. I INVITE YOU TO REPORT VIOLATIONS THAT YOU SEE AND I AM SURE THE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THOSE AND
INVESTIGATE. >> YOU GUYS DON'T SEE BECAUSE -- BUT I HAVE EVERYTHING HERE. OKAY. IF YOU SAY FOREFOOT.

I HAVE THE PASSED INSPECTION REPORT HERE AND I WAS TOLD THAT WE NEED TO REQUEST AN INSPECTION FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHICH I DID AND I AM IN A HOLDING PATTERN FOR THEM TO COME IN AND DO THEIR

MARKS. >> THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF THE

AGAIN, IT IS JUST JUST -- DISCOLORATION THAT NEEDS TO BE PRESSURE WASHED. AND ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE HOME THERE IS A SHUTTER THAT NEEDS TO BE OPENED.
[00:40:02]
>> WOULD THAT ENCOMPASS THE VIOLATIONS THAT YOU OBSERVED?
>> CORRECT . >> NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE
CITY. >> MR. TAYLOR, GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR ME THIS MORNING?

ELSE YOU WANT ME TO DO. >> ARE THE BUSHES AT ISSUE?
>> NO . >> THERE IS A COMPLETE SEPARATE CASE FOR THE DEAD TREE IN THE YARD BUT THAT IS A SEPARATE CASE
THAT IS NOT BEFORE YOU TODAY. >> ON THE EAST SIDE, I CUT ALL OF THE LIMBS THAT WERE HANGING IN MY YARD SO I CUT THAT BACK.
THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO .
>> ARE YOU AWARE THAT WE ARE HERE TODAY FOR THE ISSUE REGARDING DISCOLORED AREAS IN THE WOOD , REMOVING THE SHUTTERS ON THE WINDOWS. WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR ME THERE? PRESSURE WASHING THE HOME, THE DRIVEWAY, THE WALKWAY?
>> I CAN DO THAT BUT, I ALWAYS KEEP MY SHUTTERS UP TO THE
WINDOW. >> COULD YOU REITERATE FOR HIM OR HER SHARE OR ENLIGHTEN HIM WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAYS WITH
REGARD TO THE SHUTTERS? >> THIS IS AN IPMC. BASICALLY, ANY SORT OF EMERGENCY ESCAPE OPENINGS HAVE TO BE LEFT OPEN UNLESS THERE IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY. IT IS INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE ADOPTED BY THE CITY AS CITY CODE AS WELL SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE SHUTTERS OFF IF IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SITUATION LIKE A HURRICANE.
>> THE REASON WHY THE CITY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CITY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHUTTERS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR YOU SO THAT IS WHY THE CITY IS DIRECTING YOU TO TAKE THEM DOWN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE THE CITY IS COMING FROM?
>> YES. I DO. >> SO, BASED OFF OF THESE ISSUES REGARDING PRESSURE WASHING THE HOME, THE DRIVEWAY, THE WALKWAYS, PAINTING THE DISCOLORED AREAS IN THE WOOD AND REMOVING THE OPEN SHUTTERS, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE THAT DONE
IN 20 DAYS? >> I ALREADY PAINTED THE WOOD.
>> HE DID PAINT THE WOOD BECAUSE IT WAS CITED AS PAINTING THE BARE WOOD. IT IS MORE OF THE STUCCO WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE DISCOLORATION WHICH PRESSURE WASHING MAY CURE THAT AND IF IT DOES NOT I WOULD RECOMMEND PAINTING THOSE AREAS BUT HE HAS
TAKING CARE OF THE BARE WOOD. >> SO WHAT I SEE NEAR THE GUTTERS, THAT HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A WHOLE LOT HE CAN DO WITH THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE RAIN RUNOFF FROM THE ROOF DIRECTLY BUT THE WOOD BETWEEN THE WINDOWS HAS BEEN PAINTED AND THE BARE WOOD WAS PAINTED AND THAT APPEARED TO BE FRESH WHEN I WENT PAST THERE THIS PAST MONDAY SO IT IS THE PRESSURE WASHING, THE STUCCO, AND THE SHUTTERS IS WHAT IS LEFT.
>> MR. TAYLOR, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS LEFT THAT NEEDS TO BE
TAKEN CARE OF? >> I WOULD PRESSURE WASH IT SOMEBODY HAS STOLEN MY PRESSURE WASHER SO I DON'T HAVE THAT.
>> HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ENGAGE SOMEONE TO HELP YOU OUT THERE BUT I AM GOING TO ORDER THAT THESE VIOLATIONS BE CURED IN 20 DAYS AND IF YOU CAN'T GET IT DONE IN THAT TIME, BY ALL MEANS REACH OUT TO MISS DEBEVEC TO WORK OUT AN EXTENSION. IT IS THE FINDING OF THE COURT THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS AND THE FOLLOWING BE ORDERED. THE VIOLATORS BE GIVEN 20 DAYS TO: PRESSURE WASH THE HOME, DRIVEWAY, AND WALKWAYS. PAINT THE DISCOLORED AREAS AND BARE WOOD. REMOVE R OPEN ALL SHUTTERS. FAILURE TO COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDERED WILL RESULT IN A FINE OF $150 PER DAY BEING ASSESSED. MR. TAYLOR, YOU ARE

>> MISS DEBEVEC , YOU PASSED OUT PHOTOGRAPHS DATED DECEMBER 26, FEBRUARY 24TH, FEBRUARY 26, AND MARCH 10. DID YOU TAKE THOSE

>> MISS DEBEVEC, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE PHOTO DATED THE 10TH .
>> THE AERIAL SIGN NEEDS TO BE MISSING -- REPLACED .
>> THAT IS THE ONE VIOLATION? >> THAT IS CORRECT. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY WERE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FROM THE COMPANY OF 3-4 WEEKS AS THEY HAVE TO MANUFACTURE THE SIGN AND INSTALL IT SO THAT IS WHY I WAS REQUESTING TO EXTEND 10 DAYS TO 30 DAYS. NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE CITY .
>> GOOD MORNING MR. SHINGARY. I AM THESE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. HOW
>> GOOD. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE
CONVERSATION? >> ONLY THAT I WAS VIGILANT WITH REGARD TO THE SIGN AND SO, WHEN THE OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IT WAS
[00:50:05]
ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE SIGN AND I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND AFTER ABOUT 10 DAYS-TWO WEEKS OF TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS OR NOT THEY CAME TO ME AND SAID THE SIGN IS NOT COVERED SO THEN I WENT, I GOT THREE BIDS AND I FINALLY SELECTED ARTCRAFT SIGNS, WHO ORIGINALLY BUILT THE SIGN 20 YEARS AGO AND REPLACE AND -- REPLACING BOTH SIDES SO THAT THEY MATCH. IT IS JUST TAKING THAT LONG OF TIME. IT WAS NOT AN EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THOSE FACES SO, BUT WE PAID THE DEPOSIT AND THEY ARE IN ORDER. I BELIEVE THAT ARTCRAFT IS A GOOD SIGN COMPANY AND HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.LORI, WHO I THINK IS PART OF THE FAMILY, THE SALESPERSON, TOLD ME THAT -- AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS RESPONDED TO ME. EVERY TIME I HAVE EMAILED OR CALLED OR WHATEVER, I HAVE RECEIVED A RETURN CONTACT. SO, THEY ARE A GOOD COMPANY. I PAID MORE TO USE THEM BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE QUALITY THAT THEY WILL PRODUCE IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE LESSER BIDS THAT I RECEIVED. SO, THAT IS BASICALLY IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO SAY, ON MY BEHALF, THERE WERE TWO BANNERS THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT ASKED US TO REMOVE AND THE WOOD THAT HELD THOSE BANNERS AND WE DID THAT WITHIN A DAY OF THAT REQUEST SO, WE ARE NOT THE KIND OF CITY BUSINESS THAT IGNORES REQUESTS BY THE CITY OR ANYONE, AND MATTER. WE LIKE TO COMPLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. THAT IS REALLY ALL I HAVE
TO SAY . >> THANK YOU, MR. SHINGARY, FOR SAYING YOUR PIECE AND SHARING YOUR PART OF WHAT IS GOING ON AND FOR YOUR DILIGENCE IN MAKING SURE THAT THINGS ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF. FROM WHAT I AM HEARING, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WORKING WITH THE SIGN COMPANY, THEY ARE VERY RESPONSIVE AND THINGS ARE MOVING QUICKLY. WOULD YOU OBJECT IF I, WOULD YOU OBJECT TO THE CITY PROPOSAL OF 30 DAYS TO ALLOW YOU TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE?
>> YES. SO, WILL I GET THAT IN WRITING? I WOULD LIKE TO USE THAT AS LEVERAGE. WHEN I RECEIVE IT I WILL SEND IT ON TO ARTCRAFT AND SAY I GOT AN EXTENSION ON THIS SO YOU CAN'T GO BEYOND THE
30 DAYS. >> I WILL BE ISSUING AN ORDER.
AND, MISS CALDERON, CAN YOU GIVE ME A COPY OF THAT.
>> ABSOLUTELY . >> SO, MR. SHINGARY WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET A COPY OF THE ORDER.

>> CLOSED MOUTH DON'T GET FED. RIGHT?
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> MISS DEBEVEC .
>> IF THE 30 DAYS, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO FOR THE SIGN COMPANY AND WE CAN DO THAT TO COVER IT AS NEEDED.
>> MR. SHINGARY, DID YOU HEAR MISS DEBEVEC?
>> YES. >> IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> KNOW BUT I KNOW IF I NEED SOMEONE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OF MY WIFE AND I AND OUR REPUTATION THERE IS A COMMISSIONER, MICHAEL BRODRICK. I GUESS YOU HAVE HEARD OF HIM.
>> YES, SIR. BUT, NO NEED FOR THAT. I AM HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR
