[2. Case No: Violation Location (Address PID #) Investigating Officer CE-2024-135 1703 Miami Ct Isaac Saucedo]

>> GOOD MORNING, THIS IS CASE NUMBER BASH 135 1703 MIAMI COURT. THIS IS A CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE AND THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS DATED ON, CREATED ON DECEMBER 20, THE NOTICE TO APPEAR WAS CREATED ON APRIL 29TH OF 2025. AND I HAVE THE LAST INSPECTION OF MAY 19TH OF 2025. THE OPENING THE -- THE IS ANTHONY FRIENDS ELLA. WINDOWS SKYLIGHTS AND FRAMES. I HAVE PHOTOS HERE, THAT DEPICT THE VIOLATIONS.

>> SIR, DID YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS BEFORE? AND FOR THE RECORD, MR. SAUCEDO, YOU PROVIDED PHOTOGRAPHS DATED DECEMBER 4TH OF LASTER, MAY 19TH OF THIS YEAR . DID YOU TAKE

THESE PHOTOGRAPHS? >> I DID.

>> DO THEY TRULY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT THE VIOLATIONS AS YOU

OBSERVE THEM? >> IT DOES.

>> THE CITY WOULD MOVE INTO EVIDENCE COMPOSITE ONE.

>> THIS IS A VIOLATION FOR THE HOME BUT THIS HOME HAS BEEN BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RECENTLY, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> NO. >> ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY

VIOLATIONS WITH THE BUILDING? >> OR ACTUALLY, YES, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, YES, THERE IS ALSO A CASE I BELIEVE, IT'S FROM 2018 THAT CURRENTLY HAS FINES ON IT, THAT CASE IS MORE FOR THE OUTSIDE ITEMS, MY CASE IS THE ROTTEN WOOD THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE AND THROUGHOUT THE WINDOWS. AND ON TOP OF WHATEVER

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAS. >> HAS YOUR DEPARTMENT BEEN IN

TOUCH WITH THE FAMILY? >> I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE NEPHEW, WHO, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, HE JUST INITIATED, TRIED TO INITIATE THE PROBATE PROCESS TO TAKE OVER THE PROPERTY. IT'S ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PROBATE TAKES RELATIVELY A LONG TIME, SO I'M NOT SURE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I HAVE HERE, IF THAT WILL BE SUFFICIENT, BUT HE IS WORKING ON IT. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH HIM AND I'M NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD PROVIDE MORE TIME FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PERMITS TO FIX THE VIOLATION, OR IF THAT'S SOMETHING FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO MAKE THE

DETERMINATION. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER

QUESTIONS. >> SIR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO

RESPOND? >> PRETTY MUCH MY FAMILY HAS BEEN ORDERS SINCE BEFORE I'VE BEEN BORN, LIKE 1969, MY GRANDPA PASSED AWAY IN VIETNAM, AND HE LEFT MY GRANDMOTHER WITH SEVEN BOYS. THEY'VE BEEN LEFT ON THEIR OWN, NO HELP, NO ANYTHING.

ALL OF THESE PICTURES HERE AND MOST OF THE ROTTEN WOOD IS FROM 2012, MAYBE, AND A LOT LONGER. AND A LOT OF THE STUFF NEEDED TO BE DONE A LOT LONGER TIME AGO. I LIVE IN GEORGIA, ALL OF THE FAMILY IS PRETTY MUCH MENTALLY DISABLED OR OVER 65, WHEELCHAIRS CAN'T MOVE, BUT PRETTY MUCH, ME AND MY, THE LAST TWO UNCLES AND

[00:05:06]

FINES ON THEIR. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW THE, HOW LONG THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN ON THERE. I KNOW THERE'S A CASE

FROM 2018. >> MY FAMILY HAS HAD THIS BEFORE CORONA, AND SURVIVE, WHEELCHAIRS, HURRICANES, POTS AND PANS, THE BEST THEY COULD. I'VE HELPED OUT THE BEST I COULD WHENEVER I COULD, I AM A MECHANIC AND MY WIFE WORKS AT WALMART, THE AMOUNT OF FINE THAT'S ON THEIR WELL EXCEEDS 3 TO 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE PAYMENT AND MY UNCLE COULDN'T READ, HE COULDN'T TELL ME HE HAD A FINE OR ANYTHING TO HELP HIM WITH. LIKE I SAID, NOW I KIND OF GOT PERMISSION TO DO EVERYTHING AND TRYING TO GO ONE STEP AT A TIME AND DO IT. IF IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IF NOT, WE HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE TRYING TO BUY IT FROM US, IF WE CAN'T REHAB IT, WITHIN A YEAR AND TURN IT INTO A ASSISTED LIVING STYLE KIND OF JUMP OFF POINT FOR VETS, PEOPLE WHO CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, ANYBODY WHO HAS MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF, WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO CUT IT UP INTO A X NUMBER OF ROOMS, GO THROUGH THE CITY AND GET PERMITS. I'VE GOT A NONPROFIT STARTED WITH MY COUSIN, THAT WE ARE TRYING TO GO THROUGH AND GET ALL OF THAT, PAID FOR, AND STARTED AS A BUSINESS. OTHER THAN THAT, I DEFTLY WOULD LIKE A LITTLE MORE TIME TO TRY TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING. I'M SURE I'VE GOT ANOTHER COURT DATE COMING UP HERE SOON, IT'S BEEN RACKING UP SINCE I GUESS SINCE BEFORE CORONA. I'M NOT SURE, LIKE I SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND GET THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

>> DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING?

>> I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE BACK 90 DAYS AND ALL OF THAT, LIKE I SAY, BETWEEN MY SON GETTING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL NOW, WE HAVE TIME THIS SUMMER, AND RIGHT NOW, I HAD TO QUIT MY JOB IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF MY UNCLES AND MY AUNTS, AND WE REALLY ONLY HAVE THE MONEY, MY WIFE'S WALMART, AND MY FAMILY'S $1200 SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK THAT THEY MAKE, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S INDIGENT FORMS TO FILL OUT, OR ANY WAY TO HELP OUT WITH STUFF LIKE THAT BUT LIKE I SAY, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TIMELINE COULD BE BUT BY THE END OF THE SUMMER, OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS I COULD DEFINITELY GET QUITE A BIT DONE BUT I CAN'T GET A PERMIT TO EVEN START ON REPAIRING A WINDOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN MY NAME.

>> DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO AN EXTENSION OF TIME OF 3 TO 6 MONTHS? IS THERE ANYTHING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE A DANGER TO THE

NEIGHBORHOOD, OTHERS, I GUESS. >> AS YOU'VE SEEN ON THE PHOTOS, IT IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE WITH THE OUTSIDE STORAGE

-- >> CAN I INTERRUPT FOR A MOMENT?

>> SIR, COULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME?

>> FRIENDS ELLA. >> I KNOW YOU TESTIFIED LAST MONTH, HOW MUCH TIME DID THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE GIVE YOU? 90

DAYS TO GET A PERMIT -- >> I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE BUILDING PEOPLE AND THEY SAID AS SOON AS IT COMES UP TO THE 90 DAYS BECAUSE THEY KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE PROBATE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST BEING STARTED AND I'VE GOT MY NUMBER HERE TO GIVE YOU, BUT ONCE THAT ACTUALLY IS ALL GOING THROUGH, THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE

PROBATE TO EVEN START. >> I THINK THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY WOULD BE, JUST TO FOLLOW THAT, THE SAME WOULD APPLY TO THIS DEPARTMENT AS WELL, THAT YOU CAN BE IN TOUCH WITH THE CODE DEPARTMENT, YOU CAN'T GET PROBATE COMPLETED BY THAT TIME. I KNOW THAT WAS IN APRIL AND YOU WERE GIVEN 90 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT. WITH THE CODE DEPARTMENT HAVE AN ISSUE

WITH THIS ALSO BEING 90 DAYS? >> NO, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'LL

TAKE A WHILE. >> TODAY.

>> AND AFTER THAT 90 DAYS, LIKE I SAY, I HAVE THE WHOLE SUMMER

[00:10:01]

>> I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYTHING REQUIRED A PERMIT.

>> IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE AND MY CASE MORE THAN LIKELY HE IS GOING TO NEED PERMITS, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF ROTTEN WOOD THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WINDOW FRAMES AND THEN JUST TRIM, SO, I KNOW SOMETIMES DEPENDING ON THE SIZE YOU DON'T NEED A PERMIT BUT IN THIS CASE, IT'S THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE. SO MORE THAN LIKELY YOU WILL NEED A PERMIT FOR BOTH VIOLATIONS. LET'S JUST SAY YOU ARE ABLE TO PULL THOSE PERMITS WITHIN THE 90 DAY PERIOD, ONCE IT'S COMPLIED, GIVE US A CALL

AND WE WILL DO AN INSPECTION. >> AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU

HAVE 180 DAYS. >> AND LIKE I SAY, EVEN IF THE PROBATE DON'T EVEN COME IN, I CAN DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN, BECAUSE I'M IN GEORGIA AND IT TAKES FOUR HOURS TO DRIVE DOWN

HERE. >> LET'S KIND OF WAY TO SEE HOW THE PROBATE DEVELOPS. IF YOU WANTED TO BRING THE OTHER CASES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HAVING FINES RUNNING, WHICH IS, I MENTIONED 2018 EARLIER BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S FROM 2020, I WOULD RECOMMEND STARTING TO RECKON -- REMOVE THE OUTSIDE STORAGE IN

THAT WAY WE CAN GO AHEAD -- >> ALL OF THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN

COMPLETELY DONE. >> I DROVE BY ON MONDAY , SO

THIS -- >> UNLESS THERE'S BEEN VAGRANTS GOING IN AND PULLING STUFF OUT. I CAN'T STOP THE VAGRANTS.

>> OUTSIDE STORAGE, THIS IS FROM MAY 19, I MEAN, THIS ALL HAS TO

BE REMOVED. >> RIGHT, LIKE I SAY, EVERYTHING I'VE GOTTEN FOR THE MOST PART, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE OUTSIDE, WHEN YOU LOOK, IF YOU WERE TO TURN THE CAMERA AROUND, THAT'S THE BACKYARD, EVERYBODY'S BACKYARD LOOKS THE SAME AS THIS ONE. LIKE ALL THE WAY DOWN. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A PROBLEM BUT I DID START A REALLY GOOD CHUNK ON THE WHOLE ENTIRE FRONT AREA THERE, THAT TOOK QUITE A BIT TO EVEN DO AND LIKE I SAY, THE ENTIRE GARAGE AREA AND ALL OF THE ROTTEN WATER THAT WAS SITTING OUT AND ALL THE STAGNANT EVERYTHING THAT WOULD COLLECT MOSQUITOES AND BE A NUISANCE, I'VE ACTUALLY CALLED AND HAD THE CATS REMOVED , LIKE I SAY, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON THE GARAGE, IT GOT NICE AND CLEAN. --

>> I KNOW UNDERNEATH THE CARPORT --

>> THAT WAS COMPLETELY DONE. AND I ONLY HAVE DAYS TO COME DOWN, IT'S A THREE TO HAVE, FOR OUR DRIVE, SO USUALLY I'VE GOT LIKE THE WEEKEND WHEN I'M NOT TAKING CARE OF MY ELDERLY, SEE, THOSE ARE OLD PICTURES THERE, ALL OF THAT IS ALL GONE.

>> THAT'S FROM DECEMBER. >> THAT'S ALL GONE AND REDONE, THAT WHOLE SIDE THERE WAS PRETTY CLEANED UP.

>> ANYTHING THAT'S VISIBLE FROM THE STREET WOULD HAVE TO BE CLEANED UP. I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY, ESSENTIALLY, THE WHOLE PROPERTY

HAS OUTSIDE STORAGE. >> I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THAT

-- >> IT'S TRASH.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW THEY CUT OFF THE ELECTRICITY. I'LL BE GETTING THAT BACK ON TO GET TRASH OUT AND EVERYTHING BUT LIKE I SAY, DEFINITELY, I'M PUTTING A FOOT TOWARDS IT, LIKE I SAY FOR THE WHOLE NUISANCE PART, EVEN BOTHERING THE NEIGHBORS, AND BEING A NUISANCE, ALL OF THE MOSQUITO WATER AND EVERY STAGNANT AREA, I'VE MADE SURE ALL OF THAT WAS GONE AND TIPPED OVER, NO AREAS TO FEED CATS OR KEEP CATS AROUND OR WATER THEM. THE BIG NUISANCE AREAS WERE DEFINITELY MESSED

WITH. >> DEFINITELY THE OUTSIDE STORAGE, WE WILL DO THE 90 DAYS FROM TODAY, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE MORE OF AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF WHERE WE STAND WITH

THE PROBATE. >> HOW WOULD I TALK ABOUT GETTING THAT FINE LOWERED OR EVEN TALKED ABOUT.

>> THE PROPERTY HAS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE FIRST.

>> THANK YOU GUYS. THIS IS MY FIRST PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OWNERSHIP, ANYTHING, SO, I'M TRYING.

>> ALL RIGHT, SO, WE WILL EXTEND IT FOR 90 DAYS FOR NOW, AND SEE, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THEM, SO YOU WON'T BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE TOO MUCH LONGER. THANK YOU.

>> LET'S PUT THIS ON THE RECORD HERE, YOU ARE TO BE GIVEN 90 DAYS TO REPAIR ALL WINDOW FRAMES AND DOORS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, ALL ROTTEN WOOD LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE AND OBTAIN , YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN HELPING YOU, FAILURE TO COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDER WILL RESULT IN THE FIND OF $100 PER DAY BEING ASSESSED, PLEASE LET CODE KNOW THAT YOU NEED MORE TIME. 30 DAYS TO

APPEAL IF YOU NEED TO. >> YES MAN.

>> ALL DONE. >> THANK YOU ALL.

[00:30:12]

>> THE NEXT CASE IS OUR FIRST ONE IN, OTHERS. THAT LOT CLEARING 2025 83 FOR TUMBLIN KLING ROAD. PLEASE COME UP TO

THE PODIUM . >> GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS MANUEL FERNANDEZ JR. AND I'M COMPLETE WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT, TODAY BEFORE YOU I HAVE HIS NUMBER 25 DEATHS 83 AT TUMBLIN KLING ROAD THIS IS A LOT CLEARING, THE NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS AND DISREPAIR WERE SENT ON APRIL 22ND, 2025, THEY WERE SENT VIA REGULAR AND CERTIFIED MAILING AS WELL AS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED ON APRIL 22ND, MY LAST INSPECTION DATE WAS MAY 19, 2025. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS YIN'S PROPERTIES, THEY WERE CITED FOR SUBSECTIONS 11 A AND B. . I DO HAVE PHOTOS TO INTRODUCE AS EVIDENCE AS WELL AS A COPY THAT WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

>> MR. FERNANDEZ, YOU STATED YOU PROVIDED A NOTICE OF VIOLATION TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPHS DATED APRIL 22ND, MAY 12TH, MAY 19TH. WERE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY YOU?

>> THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND THE PHOTOS WILL BE ENTERED AS

CITY'S COMPOSITE 1 . >> WHAT HAS YOUR COMMUNICATION

BEEN WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER? >> I HAD COMMUNICATION WITH MS. ISABEL LAST WEEK TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK, SHE HAD CALLED ME AND INFORMED ME ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT SHE HAD RECEIVED ABOUT THE LETTERS SHE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LETTERS THAT SHE HAD RECEIVED. MY APOLOGIES. SHE HAD INFORMED ME SHE RECENTLY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY FROM I BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS JIM BARR INC., SHE STATED TO ME THAT THE PROPERTY WAS OVERGROWN, SHE HAS PLANS TO I BELIEVE, BUILD IN THE PROPERTY OR DEVELOP THE PROPERTY WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO. AND SHE WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING WE COULD DO TO MAKE IT MORE COST-EFFECTIVE FOR HER. I DID MENTION TO HER THAT SINCE THE PROPERTY IS LESS THAN THREE ACRES, SHE WOULD NEED TO CUT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. SHE CAME INTO THE OFFICE THIS PAST THURSDAY TO SPEAK WITH MYSELF AND MR. SAUCEDO ABOUT THE PROPERTIES AS WELL. WE BOTH INFORMED HER THAT OR HE HAD INFORMED HER THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE THE ORDINANCES, THE ORDINANCES WERE PUT IN PLACE BY THE CITY COMMISSION AND THE MAYOR AND FOR HER TO GATHER ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTATION TO PRESENT, SHE WOULD MAKE THE FINAL RULING ON WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE FOR

THE PROPERTY. >> ALL RIGHT. NOTHING FURTHER

FROM THE CITY. >> THANK YOU.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? >> MY NAME IS ISABEL CHAN, THE REPRESENT, REPRESENTATIVE OF YIN'S PROPERTIES INC. AND AM ALSO THE OWNER OF YIN'S PROPERTIES INC.. I GOT A LETTER,

[00:35:05]

AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER, HE OWNED 4.5 ACRES, HE ONLY GOT TO CUT THE FIRST 100 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. BUT SINCE THEY CHANGE THE OWNERSHIP, IT'S SPLIT INTO HALF, 2.2 ACRES NOW, FOR THE TWO PUZZLES. YOU HAVE TO CUT THE WHOLE 100,000 SQUARE FEET. I JUST DON'T SEE THE PHYSICAL CHANGE TO ME. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME AND ALSO MANNY MENTIONED TO ME, ALSO FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY, YOU KNOW, IT'S OVERGROWN BUSHES, THE CRIMINALS ARE MORE INCLINED TO HIDE IN THE TREES BUT MY ARGUMENT IS , FOR THREE ACRES, THEY ONLY NEED TO CUT THE FIRST 100 FEET BUT FOR THE 100,000 OR THE 2.2 ACRES, I HAVE TO CUT THE WHOLE PROPERTY. SO, I DON'T THINK THE CRIMINALS WOULD BE INCLINED TO HIDE IN A SMALLER LOT OVER A BIGGER LOT, AND ALSO, I'M WORKING WITH THE CITY TO DO SOME PROGRAM CALLED THE LOCAL ACT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO I'M TRYING TO BRING DOWN MY COST, I'M TRYING TO EXPLORE AN OPTION IF I CAN DO SOMETHING LESS, NOT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE PROPERTY, I WANT TO MAKE IT NICER, YOU KNOW, MAKE MY NEIGHBORS FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY PROPERTY, BUT I JUST WANT TO TRY TO REDUCE THE COST, PLUS, I'M WORKING WITH AN ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT TO WORK ON A PLAN AND SUBMIT IT TO THE CITY AND I HAVE SOME EMAILED WITH THE DIRECTOR, MR. FREEMAN, FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO I'M NOT JUST SITTING IDLE, I'M DOING SOMETHING HERE. SO I'M TRYING TO SEE, IF I CAN GET SOME, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LESS COSTLY FOR ME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> FOLLOW UP WITH THE DEPARTMENT, MR. FERNANDO AND MR. SAUCEDO, HAS THIS PROPERTY, UNDER THE PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP HAD VIOLATIONS ON IT BEFORE, FOR LOT

CLEARINGS? >> I BELIEVE WHEN IT WAS UNDER JIM BARR, IT WAS CITED A FEW TIMES.

>> QUITE A FEW TIMES. >> AND THE LOT CLEARING HERE OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE REMOVING TREES BUT EVEN AS MR. CHAN STATED, MOWING THE GRASS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S OVERGROWN HERE, AND ANY TREE BRANCHES THAT MIGHT BE LOW HANGING, UNDER SEVEN FEET, THEY WOULD JUST NEED TO BE TRIMMED UP. THE COST OF THAT BETWEEN MS. CHAN AND WHOEVER SHE HIRES, IS QUOTING $10,000 BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THE DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED, IT'S JUST THAT YOU NEED THIS MODE AND WHATEVER TREE BRANCHES ARE BELOW SEVEN FEET TO JUST BE TRIMMED UP, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> YES MA'AM. >> I BELIEVE, MUST CHAN ALSO HAS

A NEIGHBORING PROPERTY? >> IS IT ATTACHED TO THIS ONE OR

IS THERE A BREAK ? MARK >> THERE'S A BREAK BETWEEN THEM, SO, THEY ARE SIDE-BY-SIDE, THIS IS THE FIRST PROPERTY THAT SHE HAS, I BELIEVE THIS PROPERTY IS 2.1-ISH, ACRES, AND THE NEXT CASE IS FOR HER OTHER PROPERTY WHICH IS ABOUT .44, ALMOST HALF AN ACRE. I DON'T KNOW IF ISAAC --

>> A TOTAL OF 2.12. >> OKAY, SO BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES, EVEN IF THEY WERE ABLE TO BE COMBINED --

>> IT WOULD STILL BE UNDER THREE ACRES.

[00:40:02]

>> THE PROPERTIES ARE LARGE, IT'S MOSTLY LONG STRIPS. A .5,

-- >> I APOLOGIZE, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR YOU TO HAVE TO PULL ANYTHING UP, THE ONLY OPTION --

>> IF SHE COMBINED HER LOT, SHE IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO SO, THAT IS WELL WITHIN HER RIGHT , SHE WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE THREE ACRES, EVEN IF HER PROPERTY WAS LET'S SAY, JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THREE ACRES, SHE WOULD NEED TO DO 100 FEET BACK FROM THE ROAD AND FROM ALL DEVELOP PARTS, SO THAT WOULD BE FROM TUMBLIN KLING ROAD, ALL THE PROPERTIES BACK ON THE RIGHT, INCLUDING THE HOUSE DOWN HERE THAT IS BETWEEN HER PROPERTIES

>> NO ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UP -- >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING?

>> SURE. >> ACTUALLY, I STOPPED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I SEE, BECAUSE, I WAS TRYING TO BUY SOME LAND WEST OF WEATHERBY, AND ACTUALLY I SEE BASICALLY, LIKE THE HALF BLOCK, RAW LANDS, LIKE MINE AND THEY DON'T CUT ANYTHING AT ALL OR TRIM ANYTHING AT ALL. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS FALLS INTO FORT PIERCE JURISDICTION OR IF IT'S ANOTHER CITY. AND THERE IS A LAND NEIGHBORING TO MINE, THAT IS JUST THE SAME AS MINE.

>> IF YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS IN VIOLATION WHICH I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, YOU ARE WELCOME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. BUT WE ARE HERE FOR THE VIOLATION ON YOUR PROPERTY, BUT THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE CITY CODES AND THEY ARE STRICT AND THEY APPLY TO EVERYONE SO IF YOU MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT ANOTHER PROPERTY, THE TWO, WOULD BE IN THE SAME SITUATION. AND I KNOW THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION HERE WAS THE SEVEN DAYS TO TRIM AND TO REMOVE ANY TRASH OR DEBRIS OR LIFT ANY TREE'S SHRUBS OR BUSHES. DO YOU BELIEVE YOU WOULD

NEED MORE TIME TO DO THAT? >> FOR THE WHOLE PROPERTY? IT'S ALL RAW LAND, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY I HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW, FOR THE WHOLE PROPERTY. PHYSICALLY, IT DOESN'T CHANGE AT ALL. IT JUST CHANGE THE NAME FROM, TO YIN'S PROPERTIES INC.

, SO, CAN WE DO SOMETHING REALLY, LIKE, LES.

>> THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO FOLLOW THE CITY CODE WHICH IS THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO TRIM, CUT ALL GRASS AND WEEDS.

>> I CAN CUT THE GRASS, YEAH, I CAN CUT THE GRASS AND ALSO, TO ME, I SEE IN THE FRONT, THERE IS A CLEARING BEYOND THAT POINT, MAYBE LIKE 150 FEET, IT'S ALL RAW LAND. WITH BIG LARGE TREES.

IT'S ALL NATURAL GROWING. NOBODY HAS EVER TOUCHED THAT.

YEAH. >> MISS CHEN, THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WILL MAKE A RULING BUT THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION WILL BE TO FOLLOW THE CODE, I UNDERSTAND YOU DISAGREE BUT THAT IS JUST THE CITIES, WE MUST FOLLOW OUR OWN CODE AND EVERYBODY IS TREATED THE SAME WITH UNDER THREE-ACRE PROPERTIES. THERE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE WITH UNDEVELOPED LOTS WHO WERE ASKED TO TRIM ALL OF THE TREES AND BUSHES, BRING THEM UP SEVEN FEET, IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE CODE AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CITY CODE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO SELL THE PROPERTY AND MOVE OUT OF THE CITY, RIGHT, SO THE QUESTION I HAVE, IS, IS SEVEN DAYS TOO SHORT A TIME --

>> TOO SHORT. TOO SHORT. >> HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK

YOU NEED? >> I DON'T KNOW, I NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

>> OTHER INDIVIDUALS HERE, I KNOW THEY HAD ASKED FOR 30 DAYS, OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU NEED MORE TIME BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPEN TO YOUR CONTRACTOR, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET IN TOUCH WITH CODE AND ASK THEM FOR AN EXTENSION BUT OBVIOUSLY THE CITY ALWAYS WANTS COMPLIANCE, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SO, WOULD 30 DAYS

SUFFICE? >> CAN WE DO 60 DAYS?

[00:45:07]

>> MR. SAUCEDO -- >> IT IS A LARGE LAND, I HAVE TO SHOP AROUND, I CANNOT JUST JUMP AROUND AND DO SOMETHING IN PREVIOUS OWNERS NEVER DONE BEFORE. IT'S JUST STRANGE TO

ME. >> THAT'S NOT THE TESTIMONY THAT WE HEARD FROM THE DEPARTMENT, THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID HAVE VIOLATIONS AND HE WAS FORCED TO CUT DOWN THE PROPERTY AT DIFFERENT TIMES. AB NOT CONSISTENTLY BUT HE HAD BEEN VIOLATED BEFORE, TOO, JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE.

>> THEY HAD FOLLOWED THE LAW ABOUT THREE ACRES, UNDER THREE ACRES I HAD TO CUT 100,000 SQUARE FEET . SO THAT MAKES A

DIFFERENCE. >> ARE YOU REQUESTING 60 DAYS TO

DO THAT? >> IF YOU CAN GRANT 60 DAYS.

KNOW, THE CODE. >> WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A RELATIVELY BIG PROPERTY, I FEEL LIKE 60 DAYSWOULD PROBABLY BE PUSHING IT JUST A LITTLE BIT. THE REASON WHY, I MEAN IT'S ALREADY OVERGROWN. SO LET'S JUST SAY, YOU WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE AND THE PROPERTY WOULD BE EXTREMELY OVERGROWN AT THAT POINT, IF WE WAIT TO THE 60 DAYS, I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE GIVING MAYBE 30 DAYS HOWEVER, IF, WITHIN THAT 30 DAY PERIOD NOT MUCH HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, THEN WE WILL KIND OF MOVE FORWARD FOR THERE, LET'S TRY AND BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITHIN THAT 30 DAY PERIOD, THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL AND ESSENTIALLY, IF IT'S NOT DONE, IF SHE'S NOT ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR HER, AT THAT POINT WE WILL JUST KIND OF MOVE FORWARD.
