TAKE CARE OF THE ROOF. >> RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TIME TO DO WITH THE BIGGER THINGS THAT WE ARE NOT -- THAT IT MAY TAKE MORE THAN 30 DAYS. TO DO EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE LIST.

THAT ADDRESS FROM? >> I ACQUIRED THAT ADDRESS FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER WEBSITE.
>> THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PARTY WHO WAS NOTICED AS WELL. AND THAT WOULD BE BRENDAN LAMANNA, AND DIAMOND PL. THAT'S 76 SOUTH LAURA STREET SUITE 2110 JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. DO YOU
KNOW WHO THEY ARE? >> THEY WERE THE REGISTERED AGENT FOR HNN 669 PRIMA VISTA LLC.

AND YOU'VE ALSO INCLUDED AT THE END OF THIS PACKAGE, WOULD THIS BE -- I'M SORRY, SIR. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? MR. SHARIF, IT LOOKS LIKE HIS LETTER TO THE CITY -- IS THAT CORRECT?

>> YES, MA'AM. I BELIEVE THAT INVOICES WHAT HE PAYS HIS
CONTRACTORS. >> ALL RIGHT. THIS ENTIRE PACKET WOULD BE CITIES COMPOSITE ONE THAT WE ARE NOW ENTERING INTO
EVIDENCE. >> THE PACKAGE WILL BE ENTERED AS CITIES COMPOSITE EXHIBIT ONE.
>> IF I MAY ASK, IS IT MR. CHRIS SOON?
>> YES. >> MAY I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTONS? IN ASSISTED CITY ATTORNEY ON THE WORK THAT WAS
DONE ON THE PROPERTY? >> OKAY.
>> ARE YOU ASSOCIATED WITH MOW FOR LESS? ARE YOU THE OWNER?
>> THE OWNER. >> I APOLOGIZE. WHAT WAS THAT?
>> OWNER. >> OKAY. AND THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON THIS PROPERTY AT 1402 SOUTH 25TH STREET. WAS IT YOUR BUSINESS THAT CUTS BACK THE TREES, AND ANY OTHER REQUESTS TO BRING THE PROPERTY TO COMPLIANCE?
>> YES. >> DO YOU KNOW WHO DID THAT WORK? WAS THAT YOU WERE SOMEONE ELSE WITH YOUR BUSINESS?
>> MY EMPLOYEES. >> OKAY. AND THERE WERE SOME BEFORE, AND AFTER PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN. SO, WHEN YOU HAD GOTTEN OUT THERE, THIS WORK HAD NOT BEEN DONE, CORRECT?
>> CORRECT. A >> AND YOU PROVIDED AN INVOICE I THINK IT WAS FOR $820 FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DID. IS THAT
>> IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?
>> NO. >> I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO HOLD ON HERE FOR A MOMENT WHILE MR. SHARIF TESTIFIES.
>> OKAY. >> AND NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE CITY.
>> THIS IS A LOT. WHICH IS LESS THAN HALF AN ACRE. AND I HAVE BEEN THIS LOT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. AND I PASSED BY THE 25TH STREET, BECAUSE I WORK AT LONGWOOD. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN -- TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY SIGNS, BECAUSE I DO LOOK AT MY PROPERTIES ON 25TH STREET WHICH HAVE A COUPLE OF LOCKS, OTHER LOTS ON THE SAME STREET. ACROSS FROM THIS LOT. I ALSO HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION TO BEGIN WITH IN 2024 THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS LOT. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN PAYING THIS SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS NO, AND HE IS THE ONE THAT MOWS ALL MY LOCKS. AND I'M PAYING HIM ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THERE ARE NO TREES IN THE FRONT OF THE LOT.
THERE ARE ONLY TREES ON THE FENCE LINE OF THE PROPERTY, AND THE NEXT-DOOR. WHICH THE GENTLEMAN THAT DOESN'T MAINTAIN HIS LOTS AT ALL. SO, I DO GET IT CLEANED ONCE IN A WHILE, BECAUSE HE THROWS TRASH ON MY LOT. AND HAS SOME DOGS THERE. SO, THE COMPANY GOES THERE TOMORROW. HE DOESN'T RESTRICT HIM. GOING MORE TOWARDS THE FENCE LINE. SO, HE DOES WHAT HE HAS TO DO. THE ONLY TREES ARE THE FENCE LINE. WHICH I WAS TOLD NOT TO TOUCH THEM, BECAUSE YOU NEED A PART FOR IT. SO, I HAVE BEEN KEEPING THIS LOT THE WAY IT HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. IF I HAD GOTTEN THE NOTIFICATION IN 2024, JUST BECAUSE I WORK THERE, AND I HAVE AN OFFICE THERE. I WOULD HAVE MAINTAINED IT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I DIDN'T GET ANY NOTICES. UNTIL A NOTICE CAME TO ME THAT I OWE $4000. THAT'S THE TIME IMMEDIATELY I CALLED THE OFFICER. HE SAID EVERYTHING IS FINE. SO, THAT'S WHERE I STAND.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I'M PAYING $50 OR $80.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A MONTH. SO, THAT'S WHAT HAS BEEN DONE FOREVER FOR THE LAST MANY, MANY YEARS. SO, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
[00:25:01]
THE TREES WERE CUT. THERE ARE NO TREES IN FRONT OF THE LOT. THEY ARE ONLY ON THE FENCE LINE. WHICH WE KEEP THEM THE WAY IT IS, BECAUSE THE GUY NEXT DOOR WANTED THAT TO BE PRIVACY.>> CAN I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS MR. SHARIF? SO, WHAT IS YOUR RELATION? DO YOU ON THIS PROPERTY?
>> YES. >> SO, THIS A HNN, PRIMA VISTA
>> OKAY. SO, YOU DON'T HAVE A REGISTERED AGENT FOR YOUR
PROPERTY? >> I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE.
>> THE ADDRESS HERE IS 7892 SADDLEBROOK DRIVE.
>> THAT'S MY RESIDENCE ADDRESS. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE, THE DOCUMENTATION WAS SENT TO YOU ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FROM OUR CODE DIVISION HERE. AND IT WAS RETURNED TO SENDER, VACANT. UNABLE TO FORWARD.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA, BECAUSE I GET NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT OTHER PROPERTIES. I TAKE CARE OF THEM ALL THE TIME, AND THIS IS SURPRISING TO ME THAT I USUALLY -- I GO TO THE POST OFFICE, AND PICK UP ANY REGISTERED MAIL, AND HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A LONG TIME. I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHY I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS THAT IT CAME. I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT AT ALL. I WOULD'VE TAKEN CARE OF
IT MADE ME -- >> THERE IS ALSO A POSTING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN HERE.
>> I SAW THE POSTING IN THE PICTURES, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT WHITE, AND RED SIGN. I DO SEE THOSE SIGNS ONCE IN A WHILE ON MY OTHER LOTS. IF I DON'T GET THE MAIL, I WILL ACT ON IT IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE I KNOW I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE MAIL. BUT, MAY BE A NOTIFICATION OR WHATEVER IT IS. BUT, I NEVER IGNORE MY LOTS. WHATEVER THEY ARE, BECAUSE I HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THIS LANDSCAPE COMPANY. AND I PAY HIM EVERY MONTH TO MOW ALL MY PROPERTIES. SO, THIS IS A PROPERTY WHICH IS ACROSS -- PRACTICE. SO, IT'S NOT LIKE IN THE BOONDOCKS SOMEWHERE. IT'S OBVIOUS. IT'S ON 25TH STREET. I PASSED BY ALL THE TIME. SO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AT ALL. I ACTED ON IT AS SOON AS I GOT MY NOTIFICATION. I WAS SHOCKED.
>> SO, THE WORK THAT WAS DONE BY THE VENDOR, ON THE PHONE WAS NOT JUST MOWING THE LAWN. IF IT WAS JUST AS SIMPLE AS THAT, IT WOULD BE ONE THING. THERE WERE ACTUALLY TREES THAT WERE OVERGROWN THAT WERE TOUCHING THE GROUNDS THAT WERE CUT
DRAMATICALLY BACK. >> I WENT THERE, AND I SAW THE STUMPS ARE WHERE THEY ARE. ONLY THE BRANCHES, WHICH ARE OVERHANGING LIKE THIS. THERE WERE CUT LIKE, IN A LINE. YOU KNOW, NEAR THE FENCE. SO, THERE ARE NO TREES IN FRONT OF THE LOT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE LOT, I MADE SURE IT WOULD WAS -- OKAY, THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CUT THE TREES. SO, I HAVE MAINTAINED THOSE TREES THE WAY THEY ARE.
THE BRANCHES HAVE GROWN. I'M NOT SURE. THEY MUST HAVE TRIMMED THE BRANCHES IN THAT LINE. BUT, THE STUMPS ARE THE SAME. NOT ALL TREES WERE TAKEN OUT AT ALL. SO, THE TREES STILL EXIST, AND THE BRANCHES MAY HAVE GROWN, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN $60, $100. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT ALSO SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, I WOULD'VE DONE THAT. THE TREES WHICH ARE ON THE FENCE LINE, I TOLD HIM NOT TO TOUCH THEM, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE TREES THAT YOU HAVE TO -- AND THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR WANTED THOSE AS PRIVACY, BECAUSE THE PROPERTY LINE IS SO CLOSE. THAT HIS HOUSE SITS ON THE PROPERTY FENCE LINE. SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS THE SURVEY WAS DONE PROPERTY -- PROPERLY OR NOT. I DO LEAVE A FIVE FEET BUFFER, SO I DON'TGO TOWARDS HIS FENCE.
AND THE FENCE IS NOT A GOOD FENCE. IT IS BROKEN IN CERTAIN AREAS. SO, I WAS NOT AWARE. IF I HAD KNOWN, I WOULD'VE TAKEN THE SURVEY OR GET IT SURVEYED AGAIN. IT WOULD'VE BEEN CHEAPER TO GET IT SURVEYED, AND THEN PUT A FENCE LINE OR NEW FENCE BY MY OWN. WHICH WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN PAYING FOR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A VIOLATION.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD? I WOULD LIKE TO RECALL MR. FERNANDEZ, AND BRIEFLY. IF YOU ARE DONE.
>> YEAH, I'M DONE. >> MR. FERNANDEZ, THE VIOLATION FOR CUTTING BACK THE TREES. I THINK THERE'S MAY BE MISUNDERSTANDING. YOU DON'T NEED A PERMIT TO LIFT THE TREE
BRANCHES UP, CORRECT? >> NO, MA'AM. YOU DON'T NEED A
[00:30:04]
PERMIT TO LIFT THE TREE BRANCHES. UNLESS IT IS AN OAK TREE. SINCE THAT IS A PROTECTED TREE IN OUR CITY. THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TREE THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME KIND OF PERMIT. BUT, AS FAR AS I KNOW, AS LONG AS YOU'RE ONLY LIFTING IT TO THE SEVEN FOOT STANDARD THAT WE INCLUDE IN OUR NOTICE OF VIOLATION. WE INFORMED THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE THAT IS OKAY. ANY OTHER KIND OF SIGNIFICANT TRIMMING TO THE OAK TREES, THAT'S WHEN YOU WOULD NEED THE PERMITS.>> AND THIS WOULD GO FOR ANY TREES -- THESE PERTAIN TO ANY TREES ON THE PROPERTY. NOT JUST TREES THAT ARE NEAR THE ROAD.
>> YES, MA'AM. THAT IS CORRECT. >> AND MR. CASSON? CAN YOU STILL
>> I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THE TESTIMONY HEARD TODAY.
THAT YOU'VE HEARD. THAT OUR GENTLEMEN HERE HAS A STATED THAT HE COULD'VE ASKED HIS VENDORS A TO TRIM THIS BACK FOR MAYBE $100. I KNOW THE QUOTE HERE, WHAT WAS PAID WAS $850. CAN YOU EXPLAIN -- 820, I APOLOGIZE. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHERE THE NUMBER
COMES FROM? >> YEAH. WE TRIMMED ALL THE TREES THAT ARE ALONG THE BACK FENCE LINE. AND TO REMOE THE DEBRIS. SO, I DON'T KNOW WHO CAN DO THAT FOR $100. BUT, IT WAS QUITE A NUMBER OF TREES. THE PRICE WE QUOTED TO THE CITY WAS ACTUALLY A DISCOUNTED PRICE. IF WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR A REGULAR HOMEOWNER, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOMEWHERE TWO 1500, TO $1700 RANGE. BECAUSE OF DUMP FEES, AND OTHER THINGS, AND THE COST OF
LABOR. >> SURE. DO YOU TYPICALLY HAVE
MULTIPLE PEOPLE OUT THERE? >> YEAH. WHEN WE DID THIS JOB, WE HAD ABOUT FOUR, FIVE GUYS OUT THERE.
>> OKAY. AND DID IT TAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO A LANDFILL TO
CLEAR OUT THE DEBRIS? >> NO. IT TOOK US ONE TRIP. WE HAD ENOUGH EQUIPMENT, AND GUYS THEY ARE TO DO IT. SO, IT
DIDN'T TAKE MORE THAN A DAY. >> AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOUR BUSINESS -- DOES YOUR BUSINESS OFTEN DO WORK FOR THE CITY OF
>> DO YOU DO WORK FOR OTHER PRIVATE CITIZENS?
>> YES. >> AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR TREE CLEARING? OR, JUST ANY SORT OF OTHER LANDSCAPING FOR HOMES?
>> WE HAVE MULTIPLE VENDORS, AND MULTIPLE AGENCIES WE LOOK
FORWARD TO. >> AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN
>> AND WHAT YOU'VE TESTIFIED TO, YOU BELIEVE THIS PRICE TO BE A NORMAL PRICE FOR THE SORT OF WORK THAT WAS DONE?
>> YES. IT'S ACTUALLY A DISCOUNTED RATE.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, AND NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE CITY. THANK YOU MR. CASSON.
>> THANK YOU. DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?
>> JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE CITY IS OBVIOUSLY LOOKING FOR THOSE NUISANCE ABATEMENT CHARGES OF $820, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE
FEE. >> I WAS PROVIDED THE CITY DOESN'T OBJECT. I WOULD SAY THE $920 WOULD BE DUE TO COVER THE
COSTS THAT THE CITY INCURRED. >> WHATEVER IS YOUR DECISION, BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE. I'VE DEALT WITH A LOT OF LANDSCAPERS. BUT, I DO NOT BELIEVE -- IF I HAVE TO PAY, I WILL. IF I SHOWED. BUT, THERE WERE NO TREES AT ALL, AND THERE WERE ONLY FOUR TREES IN THE BACK. AND THERE WERE ONLY BRANCHES TO BE CUT. WHICH I GUARANTEED I COULD HAVE DONE IT FOR LESS THAN $200. I UNDERSTAND WHERE HE'S COMING FROM. BUT, I THINK HAVING ENOUGH EXPERIENCE. I'VE BEEN HERE 25 YEARS IN THIS COUNTY. WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY, I HAVE ACTUALLY A BIGGER LOT WITH A LOT OF DEBRIS. THERE'S NO DEBRIS THERE. IT'S JUST LANDSCAPING, BECAUSE UNDER THE TREES, YOU WILL HAVE SOME DEBRIS. BECAUSE ALL THE BRANCHES WERE HANGING.
>> OKAY. 920 IS WHAT IT IS. I GUESS THE ONLY CONSIDERATION, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO PAY IT?
>> I CAN PAY AT ANY TIME, NO PROBLEM.
[00:35:08]
>> SAY 30 DAYS? >> I COULD PAY TOMORROW.
>> WHILE, IN THE ORDER IT'LL SAY YOU HAVE 30 DAYS. SO, AS LONG AS YOU PAY IT IN THAT TIME.
>> THAT'S FINE. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> IF THE FINE IS NOT PAID IN 30 DAYS, IT GOES BACK TO THE
ORIGINAL -- >> IT COMES TO ME IN THE MAIL?
>> YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PAY TOMORROW. IF I CAN GET YOU TODAY, I WILL CALL YOU. YEAH. I BELIEVE I HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER, AND I CAN SEND YOU A LINK TO PAY ONLINE. SO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT COMING IN. ALL RIGHT?
>> THANK YOU. AND YOU CAN APPEAL IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THAT.
>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
>> THANK YOU, ANDREW. >> OKAY, BYE-BYE.
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY. BYE-BYE. >> YOU TOO. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE
