THEY ARE THE OWNERS. >> GOOD MORNING. ARE YOU BLISS JOHNSON AND

THANK YOU FOR COMING. MR. WINN, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR ME?

>> I'M LOGAN WINN, I'M BUILDING INSPECTOR FOR CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

I HAVE CASE NUMBER BV2025-00188 304 N 15TH ST THE CASE WAS EFFICIENTED AUGUST 5, 2025. THE OWNER BLISS JOHNSON, VICTORIA GREEN. THE VIOLATIONS FBC101.12020 PERMIT REQUIRED.

OBTAIN PERMIT FOR THE NEW SUPPORT COLUMN AND INSTALLED WITHOUT A PERMIT.

THE RECOMMENDATION, THE CITY REQUEST THAT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FIND VIOLATERS EXIST.

COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER CONDITIONS AND CURE ALL THE VIOLATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE ORDER NOT REQUIRING A PERMIT OR FINE OF $250 PER DAY BE ASSESSED. AS NOW, THERE'S NO PERMIT FOR THIS WORK. I DO HAVE A SET OF PATRIOTS -- PICTURES AS WELL.

>> MAY I SEE THAT? MR. WINN, YOU PROVIDED A PHOTOGRAPH DATED FEBRUARY 4 OF

LAST YEAR. DID YOU TAKE THIS PHOTOGRAPH? >> YES MA'AM.

>> IS THE PHOTOGRAPH DEPICTS VIOLATION AS YOU OBSERVED IT? >> YES MA'AM.

>> THE CITY MOVES IN EVIDENCE CITY'S EXHIBIT ONE. >> I ACCEPT THIS EVIDENCE AS

CITY'S EXHIBIT ONE. >> YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER?

>> NO MA'AM. >> NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE CITY.

>> THANK YOU. MR. JOHNSON MS. BLISS, I'M SORRY.

>> I'M BLISS AND THAT'S VICTOR. >> ALL RIGHT. MS. JOHNSON, WHAT'S GOING ON

HERE? >> THANK YOU, YOUR MAGISTRATE. WE RECEIVED THE VIOLATION IN AUGUST, MONTH AND A HALF AFTER WE PURCHASED THE HOME. AS YOU CAN SEE THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THAT THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN FEBRUARY. WHICH IS FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO US PURCHASING THE HOME. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING VIOLATION WISE.

WHEN WE MADE THIS PURCHASE IN JUNE, AND CLOSED JUNE 23RD, THERE WERE NO TITLE ISSUES.

THERE WERE NO VIOLATIONS PRESENT. THE HOME WAS PURCHASED AND

[00:15:01]

I ALSO RECEIVED THE SAME PHOTO THAT SUBMITTED INTO EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN FOUR MONTHS BEFORE WE KNEW THE HOUSE WAS UP FOR SALE. I'M NOT SURE IF THERE WAS A PREVIOUS VIOLATION FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHEN THE PICTURE WAS FIRST TAKEN OR WHY IT TOOK SIX MONTHS FOR THE VIOLATION TO BE ISSUED OR INITIATED. AFTER THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN.

HOWEVER, I DO KNOW HAD THERE BEEN A VIOLATION ON FILE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.

THE TITLE COMPANY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THE VIOLATION AT THE TIME. WE DID GET IN CONTACT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO HAS ADMITTED TO MAKING THOSE SPECIFIC CHANGES THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THIS VIOLATION.

HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD FROM THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET A PERMIT FOR SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT GETTING DONE TO THE HOME. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THE TITLE COMPANY HAS BASICALLY TOLD US WE HAVE TOTE

>> -- WE HAVE TO GET THE PREVIOUS OWNER INVOLVED. MY HANDS IS TIED.

>> AFTER YOU BOUGHT THE HOUSE AND CLOSED ON IT, YOU CLOSED ON THE HOME AND AUGUST CAME BACK AND HIT US. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT STEP TO TAKE.

WE CALLED THE TITLE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD HANDLE. WE BACKED AWAY FROM CU A COUPLEF WEEK. WE GOT SOMETHING FROM THE CITY YOU'RE IN VIOLATION.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE PAY THIS. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY IT AND WE CALLED OUR BANK.

WE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY TO FIGHT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID, SINCE WE THE NEW HOMEOWNERS, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY. EVERYTHING WAS LEADER, WE

WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE HOME. NO ISSUES. >> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME UP TO SPEED THERE. LET ME ASK YOU THIS. HAVE YOU DISCUSSED WITH THE

BUILDING DEPARTMENT YOUR OPTIONS? >> WHEN I FIRST CAME AND GOT THE INITIAL PHOTO OF WHEN THE INSPECTOR GOT HIS EVIDENCE OF THE VIOLATION, THEY DID GIVE ME A PACKET OF INFORMATION OF WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE A BUILDER, WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE A HOMEOWNER.

THEY DID GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION. I GAVE THAT INFORMATION TO A TITLE COMPANY. THEY ASKED ME FOR IT. I DIDN'T GO OVER THAT INFORMATION WITH MY HUSBAND. WHEN I LEFT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TITLE COMPANY FROM THERE. I GAVE THEM EVERYTHING THAT I HAD EXCEPT THAT PHOTO.

I HAD THEM GIVE ME A COPY OF THAT PHOTO SO I CAN HAVE EVIDENCE OF WHEN THIS ACTUALLY

ALL STARTED. >> I HAD TALKED TO HIM OVER PHONE THROUGH TEXT.

HE ADMITTED ON THE TEXT THAT HE DONE THIS PROJECT TO THE HOUSE PRIOR BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT.

HE SAID HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. >> THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO MY ATTENTION. JUST FOR MY BACKGROUND, IS THIS

WHERE YOU GUYS ARE LIVING NOW? >> THAT'S OUR HOME. >> UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO BRING TO MY ATTENTION?

IS THERE ANY RESPONSE FROM THE CITY? >> YES, SIR.

SO, THE CITY DID HAVE A PREVIOUS VIOLATION CASE AGAINST THE PRIOR OWNER THAT CASE NUMBER WAS BV2025-00024. THE CASE WAS INITIATED ON FEBRUARY 3, 2025.

WE DO HAVE IN THE NOTES HERE THAT THAT CASE WAS SLATED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN JULY OF 2025. IT WAS PULLED PRIOR TO THAT HEARING BECAUSE THE INSPECTOR WAS ABSENT OR GOING TO BE ABSENT FROM THE AUGUST HEARING. IT WAS RIGHT AROUND THAT TIME AUGUST 5TH 2025 THAT WE BECAME CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AND THE NEW CASE WAS INITIATED.

>> THERE IS FLORIDA STATE STATUE GUIDELINES AS IT RELATES TO THIS SITUATION AND PRIOR OWNER RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY THE NEW OWNER OF THE VIOLATION THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THAT IN WRITE. THAT FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THAT CREATES A REBUTTAL PRESUMPTION OF FRAUD. IF YOU LIKE TO SEE THAT I CAN PULL THAT UP ON THE SCREEN FOR YOU.

[00:20:32]

STARTS IN PARAGRAPH 5 HERE WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED. >> THANK YOU.

ANYTHING FURTHER FROM THERE? >> STAFF ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE HARDSHIP THAT THEY ARE WALKING INTO. UNFORTUNATELY, BY STATUE, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VIOLATION NOW. ALTHOUGH, THEY DO HAVE RIGHTS TO GO AFTER THE PREVIOUS OWNER IF THEY WISH TO DO SO. TO CURE THIS VIOLATION, THEY WOULD NEED TO OBTAIN A PERMIT

FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. >> YOU HEARD MS. JOHNSON'S TESTIMONY ABOUT BEING TOLD SHE NEEDS TO GET THE PRIOR OWNER TO ACTUALLY APPLY FOR THAT PERMIT.

SUSPECT THAT ACCURATE? >> NO SIR. IF THIS IS THEIR HOME STAND AND YOU CLAIM YOUR HOMESTAND EXEMPTION, YOU CAN OBTAIN THE PERMIT AS AN OWNER BUILDER.

REGARDLESS IF YOU DO THAT OR YOU HIRE A CONTRACTOR, THERE WILL BE PLANS PREPARED BY AN ARCHITECTURE ENGINEER THAT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE RAILING AND THOSE COLUMNS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE BUILDING CODE. YOU DON'T NEED TO INVOLVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER IN DOING THAT. YOU WILL NEED TO INVOLVE AN ARCHITECT OR ENGINEER TO GET

THOSE PLANS DRAWN UP. >> BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE, MRS DONE, DOES IT CREATE AN IMMINENT

SAFETY HAZARD? >> IT'S NOT PARENT FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS, HOWEVER, WITHOUT SEEING THE ATTACHMENT TO THE ROOF STRUCTURE, WE'RE UNABLE TO VERIFY THAT THE WORK PERFORMED

WAS CODE COMPLIANT. >> MR. GREEN, MS. JOHNSON. ANY RESPONSE FROM THAT?

>> HE JUST SAID IT WAS -- WHEN HE FIRST -- WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT -- HE ADDED THAT.

I'M CONFUSED AFTER WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE AND CLOSED ON IT. EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE.

DON'T HAVE A WHOLE A LOT OF MONEY. HOME COST $200,000.

LAWYERS TOLD US IT'S FINE. WE BACK UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SPEND EXTRA MONEY WE DON'T HAVE.

THAT'S IT. >> MS. JOHNSON, ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> WE CALLED EVERYBODY. >> DOES THE CITY HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF AN ENGINEER? I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK OTHER THAN I'M GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE AND NOW WHERE DO I GO?

>> DEFINITELY, I INVITE YOU TO REACH OUT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, MAYBE THEY HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. BY ALL MEANS, I INVITE YOU TO REACH OUT TO THEM TO DISCUSS FURTHER. I DO RECOGNIZE YOU GUYS HAVE INHERITED A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE HERE. I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE FACT THAT HAD YOU KNOWN PROBABLY WOULDN'T BOTHERED WITH THIS PROPERTY AT ALL.

THE FACT REMAINS THAT NOW THAT YOU OWNER, YOU HAVE INHERITED THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DO YOU HAVE -- YOU MIGHT HAVE A CIVIL CLAIM AGAINST THE PRIOR OWNER.

MAYBE THE TITLE COMPANY, I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T GIVE YOU ADVICE.

THE ISSUE REMAINS THIS IS SOMETHING ON YOUR PLATE TO HANDLE.

THE CITY HAS RECOMMENDED 60 DAYS TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH OBTAINING THAT PERMIT.

GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I'M PREPAREDDED TO GIVE YOU 180 DAYS TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.

ANY QUESTIONS THERE? THIS COURT DOES FIND THAT A VIOLATION EXIST.

[00:25:07]

MS. JOHNSON, MR. GREEN, YOU DO HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL IF YOU CHOOSE.

I THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE. I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU INHERITED THIS SURPRISE. I WISH YOU THE BEST MOVING FORWARD.

>> CAN I SEE THE STATUTE? >> MS. BECK, DO YOU MIND GIVING THAT TO THEM?

>> HE BROUGHT IT UP. >> PERFECT. >> FLORIDA STATUTE 162.06.

IT'S PARAGRAPH 5 WHERE IT STARTS. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> NEXT CASE PLEASE. >> OKAY THE NEXT CASE IS

TO ALLOW FOR APPROVAL OF PERMITS. I BELIEVE FROM SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT. SO THEY CAN CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS WITH THE CITY. PRIOR MAKING RECOMMENDATION I

LIKE TO HEAR AN UPDATE FROM THE OWNERS. >> GOOD MORNING.

TELL ME, WHAT'S GOING ON? >> WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. I HAD TO MAKE A FEW NOTES WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT DONE.

WE HAVE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT HAS CONFIRMED THE LIMITS OF THE EXISTING ON SITE WETLANDS. THEY PROVIDED US WITH AN RAI, A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL

[01:00:06]

CULPEPPER INTER PIN PREPARED THE DOCUMENT FOR NORTH ST. LUCIE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT TO SUBMIT FOR REVIEW FOR THE APPROVAL FOR THE DISCHARGE TO CONTINUE TO THE CANAL.

THEY ARE ALSO WORKING FOR THE CITY TO PREPARE THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.

WE ARE ALSO WAITING TO COORDINATE A MEETING WITH THE MITIGATION BANK FOR THE WETLANDS. WE HAVE MET ON SITE THEN ALSO VIA TEAMS MEETING WITH THEIR ENGINEERS AND AIR ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER. WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO BRING TO MY ATTENTION? >> NO.

>> IN COSS. >> STAFF IS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL UPDATE.

I WOULD LIKE TO INQUIRE HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL TIME THEY FEEL WILL BE REQUIRED TO GET THROUGH THE

PROCESS? THAT'S KIND OF -- >> SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THEM TO ANSWER OUR RESPONSES WITH DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE APPLIED FOR. FOR THEIR REVIEWS AND WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT GOES THROUGH MULTIPLE PEOPLE THERE FOR THEIR REVIEWS UNTIL WE AND OUR ENGINEERS GET RESPONSES BACK.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE WAITING ON THE MEETING WITH THE MITIGATION BANK.

WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ALL OF THIS IS -- I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'LL TAKE.

YOU GUYS MAY BE MORE FAMILIAR WITH IT THAN WE ARE. THIS IS OUR FIRST GO AROUND SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THEY DON'T GIVE US A TIMELINE.

I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG TO ASK FOR. THE SOONER THE BETTER WILL BE

GREAT. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF MAY ASK, DO YOU KNOW WHEN THAT

APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED? >> WELL, THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT RESPONDED WITH THEIR DIRECTION TO US ON JANUARY 23RD. OUR ENGINEERS GOT RIGHT TOGETHER FINISHING EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING WAS SUBMITTED I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST THIS MONTH.

AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. IT WAS A LOT TO PUT TOGETHER. IT'S PAGES AND PAGINGS OF MAPS AND DOCUMENTS AND ENGINEERING DESIGNS. IT'S FOR THE WHOLE COMPLETE STORM WATER STRAIN -- DRAINAGE. IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE WETLANDS. IT'S FOR RETENTION POND.

FOR STORMWATER DRAINAGE. APPROVALS THROUGH THE NORTH PORT DISTRICT FOR THE CULVERT.

I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST THIS GOING OF MARCH WHEN IT WAS SUBMITTED TO SOUTH FLORIDA WATER.

THEY RECEIVE THE SUBMISSION AND REVIEWING IT FOR PROPOSED DISCHARGE.

VOICE OF TRUTH TABERNACLE INC. >> GOOD MORNING, SIR. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

>> CLEVELAND INGRAM. >> WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE PROPERTY?

>> MY SISTER. >> YOUR SISTER IS THE OWNER? >> CHURCH OWNS IT.

SHE'S THE AGENT OVER IT. >> UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU.

MR. COSS, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR ME? >> THIS IS CASE BV2025-00025 804 N 19TH ST VOICE OF TRUTH TABERNACLE INC.

CASE WAS INITIATED JANUARY 29, 2025. HE'S HERE FOR A MASSIE HEARING.

VIOLATIONS ARE THE SAME PROVIDED ON THE SUMMARY SHEET. THERE WAS A ORDER TO DETERMINED VIOLATION ON JUNE 12, 2025. THERE WAS AN EXTENSION AT THE TIME GRANTED AUGUST 29, 2025.

THE AFFIDAVIT WAS RECORDED JANUARY 5, 2026. FEBRUARY 3, 2026, STAFF RECEIVED A MASSIE LETTER CONTESTING THE FINE. THE LETTER WAS SIGNED BY PASTOR INGRAM. THE LETTER DIDN'T SUBSTANTIALLY INDICATE WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE. THEY HAVE SPECIFIED THAT THEY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THEY HAD SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP DUE TO PUBLIC ECONOMIC EVENTS. THEY BEND TON PROCEEDING IN GOOD FAITH. THEY'RE REQUESTING REDUCTION OF THE WAIVER OF THE FINES.

WE CANNOT REDUCE THE FINES AT THIS TIME. WE MAY ENTERTAIN A STAYING IN THE FINES IF IT'S WARRANTED. PRIOR TO MAKING A RECOMMENDATION, I LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE TO ADDRESS THE VIOLATIONS.

>> MR. INGRAM, TELL ME, WHAT PLANS ARE THERE TO BRING US INTO COMPLIANCE HERE?

>> THIS FELL IN MY LAP SUNDAY. MY SISTER SAID SHE IT'S TOO MUCH FOR HER.

THE PLAN WAS TO -- THE RECOMMENDATION THEY NEED, THEY CAN PULL THE PERMIT.

THEY SAID IT TAKE GENERAL CONTRACTORS OUT THERE AND IT FOLLOWS THROUGH.

THEY GOT ROOFING COMPANIES. THEY GOT PEOPLE. THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO PULL THE PERMIT. THEY CAN'T GET A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

EVERY TIME A CONTRACTOR COME OUT, IT FALLS THROUGH. >> IN WHAT SENSE?

>> THEY DON'T SHOW BACK UP. THEY COME OUT TO THE PROJECT. THEY DON'T SHOW BACK UP.

THEY JUST WANT THE CITY TO ALLOW THEM TO PULL THE PERMIT. IF THEY CAN PUT THE PERMIT, THEY

CAN GET THE BALL ROLLING. >> YOU MEAN YOU WOULD LIKE THE CITY ALLOW VOICE OF TRUTH TO PULL THE PERMIT WITHOUT THESE THIRD PARTIES? YOU JUST NEED ADDITIONAL TIME?

>> THEY CAN'T FIND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR. THEY PULL A PERMIT, THEY CAN SUB IT OUT TO THE CONTRACTORS. THE ROOFER, THE AIR-CONDITION. ALL THE STUFF THAT NEED TO BE WORKED. THEY CAN SUB THE WORK OUT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD.

THAT'S WHAT THE HOLD UP IS. THEY CAN'T FIND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

>> MR. COSS, IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? >> THE CITY CANNOT ISSUE A PERMIT TO THE CHURCH OR TO ANY PARTY ON BEHALF OF THE CHURCH. THEY DON'T QUALIFY AS AN OWNER

[01:10:01]

THEY NEED TO PROCEED WITH A CONTRACTOR. SECONDLY, JUST FOR HOUSEKEEPING, I WOULD LIKE TO GET ON RECORD THAT WE DID NOT RECEIVE A REPRESENTATIVE AGENT AUTHORIZING THIS GENTLEMAN TO SPEAK ON BEHALF. WE DO HAVE THE MASSIE LETTER SIGNED BY MR. TERRY INGRAM, PASTOR. REGISTERED AGENT FOR VOICE OF TRUTH TABERNACLE PROVIDED AS GALE INGRAHAM. THE GENTLEMEN CAN PROVIDE HIS RELATION TO VOICE OF TRUTH TABERNACLE AND CONFIRMED HE'S AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK ON THEIR

BEHALF. >> YES, I'M AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK. THAT'S MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

>> THE PASTOR IS YOUR BROTHER? >> BROTHER. IT'S INGRAM.

>> THE SPELLING IS WRONG. ANYTHING FURTHER? >> STAFF RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO STAY THE ACCRUAL OF THE FINE FOR 60 DAYS TO ALLOW FOR THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO BE

COMPLETE. >> MR. INGRAM. YOU HEARD THE RECOMMENDATION TO PROVIDE 60 DAYS. BASICALLY, THE FINES, I WON'T BE ACCRUE FOR THE NEXT 60 DO YOUS TO ALLOW THE CHURCH TO FIND THE NECESSARY PEOPLE TO GET THIS RECTIFIED.

DO YOU FIND THAT TO BE A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO GET THIS DONE?

>> YES, WE GOT TO FIND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR. THAT'S CORRECT?

>> YES, SIR. >> YES. THAT'S RIGHT.

>> FANTASTIC. I'M GOING TO ISSUE AN ORDER. GRANTING THAT STAY FOR 60 DAYS.

I HOPE THAT YOU WORK QUICKLY TO FIND THAT GENERAL CONTRACTOR. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN AND

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR WORKING QUICKLY ON THIS. >> NEXT CASE PLEASE.

[2. BV2025-00031 1904 San Marcos Ave Balbuena, Edgar Allan Shaun Coss ]

>> THE NEXT CASE IS 5A2. BV2025-00031 1904 SAN MARCOS AVE EDGAR BALBUENA IS THE OWNER. THE PERSON REPRESENTING HIM, KRISTIN, WAS NOT HERE FOR

SWEARING IN. >> RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME.

>> MS. COUGHAMOUR. BULLDOGS COSS, W -- MR. COSS WHT DO YOU HAVE?

>> THIS IS CASE BV2025-00031 1904 SAN MARCOS AVE PROPERTY OWNED BY EDGAR ALAN BALBUENA. FLORIDA BUILDING CODE SECTION 105.1 PERMIT REQUIRED. BECAME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE JULY 5, 2025.

90 DAY EXTENSION AND TIME GRANTED ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2025. STAFF DID RECEIVE A MASSIE REQUEST FOR THIS CASE. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A MASSIE HEARING THAT WAS HELD IN THE OWNER FAILED TO APPEAR. SINCE THAT TIME, WHEN THE ORDER WAS SENT OUT, WE RECEIVED THIS REQUEST FOR A HEARING TO GET BACK ON THE DOCKET FOR TO CONTEST THE FINES THAT ARE CURRENTLY. PRIOR TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION I LIKE TO HEAR UPDATE WHERE THEY

ARE AT BRINGING THIS ISSUE IN COMPLIANCE. >> WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO

THE PROPERTY? >> I AM JUST HELPING MY CLIENT OBTAIN WHAT HE NEEDS TO OBTAIN.

I DON'T HAVE ANY RELATION TO THE PROPERTY. >> YOUR CLIENT IN WHAT SENSE ARE

[01:15:07]

YOU REPRESENTING AN ATTORNEY? >> I JUST HELP WITH PERMITTING. IT'S NOT PAID, I'M JUST HELPING.

I KNOW THE FAMILY. >> UNDERSTOOD. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

>> THEY DEALT WITH SOME HARDSHIP WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY GOT THIS VIOLATION.

BY THE TIME I STEPPED INTO THE VIOLATION, WE HAD TO HANDLE IT A LEVEL THAT IS REQUIRED BY COUNTY AND TO FOLLOW THE STATUTES WHICH REQUIRED US GETTING SUBMITTED PLANS AND FINDING AN ARCHITECT DESIGNER. WE ENDED UP FINDING ONE. THAT ONE DIDN'T WORK OUT.

WE HAD TO GET A NEW DESIGNER AND THAT DESIGNER IS GREAT BUT TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME TO GET US WHAT WE NEED BACK. I DID APPLY FOR THE PERMIT PRIOR TO THE LAST HEARING THAT I DID MISS ON ACCIDENT. I HAD A WRONG DATE ON MY SCHEDULE.

I MESSED THAT UP COMPLETELY. I'LL TAKE THE BLAME FOR THAT. I DID SUBMIT THE PERMIT PRIOR TO THAT AND THEN I ALSO SUBMITTED TODAY THE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, THE REVISIONS THAT WERE REQUIRED FROM THE COUNTY. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. I'M REALLY JUST WAITING NOW FOR THEM TO GO OVER THEIR REVISIONS, MAKE SURE IT LOOKS OKAY. WE SHOULD BE A PERMIT ISSUED.

MY CLIENT IS REALLY FACING A LOT OF HARDSHIPS AND CAN'T BE LEFT WITH FINES.

I KNOW I WASN'T HERE THE LATS TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF FINES HAVE OCCURRED. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT. INFORMATION I GOT I DON'T THINK THEY WERE INOCCURRING. -- OCCURRING.

>> MR. COSS. >> FINES HAVE BEEN ACCRUING IN THIS CASE.

>> YOU KNOW HOW I CAN GET THOSE WAIVED? >> WE CANNOT WAIVE OR REDUCE THE FINES TODAY. THAT CANNOT BE CONSIDERED UNTIL THE CASE HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. ONCE THE CASE HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE YOU CAN REQUEST A REDUCTION OR WAIVER OF THE FINES. WE CAN ENTERTAIN THAT.

WHAT WE CAN DO TODAY IS STAY THE ACCRUAL OF FINES FROM CONTINUING FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.

I DO SEE THAT THE REVISIONS FOR THE PERMIT WERE LAST REJECTED MARCH 2ND.

IF REVISIONS ARE BEING SUBMITTED TO ADDRESS THOSE COMMENTS, THEY SHOULD BE REVIEWED.

TYPICALLY WITHIN A TWO-WEEK PERIOD. ASSUMING THAT THOSE COMMENTS WOULD ADDRESS THE REJECTION. THE PERMIT POTENTIALLY COULD BE ISSUED BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO STAY THE ACCRUAL OF THE FINES FOR 60 DAYS TO ALLOW FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT. ONCE THE PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED, YOU WOULD HAVE 180 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND HAVE YOUR APPROVED INSPECTION. ONCE THE PERMIT IS CLOSED, THAT WILL COMPLY THE CASE AND THE ONE ONCE THE CASE IS COMPLIED YOU CAN REQUEST REDUCTION IN THE

FINES THAT HAVE ACCRUED. >> IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET A COPY HOW MUCH THE FINES HAVE

ACRID AND WHAT -- ACCRUED AND WHAT THE TOTAL IS? >> ANYTHING FURTHER? I WILL ACCEPT THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. STAY THE ACCRUAL OF FINE FOR 60 DAYS. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING THAT MR. COSS STATED TO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THIS. >> THANK YOU.
