[00:05:02]

OCCUR? >> COMPLAINT. >> WAS IT FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO

LIVES IN THAT PROPERTY OR IN THAT AREA? >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT

THEIR BACKYARD TO THIS PARCEL. >> WHAT WAS THE COMPLAINT ABOUT? >> IT WAS A REFERENCE TO TREES, SHRUBS, BUSHES, PLANTINGS AND THE TRAILER BEING IN THE RETENTION AREA THAT DOES NOT

BELONG. >> WOULD IT BE BEST FOR MS. BARNES EXPLAIN THE

MODIFICATION AND DRAINAGE? >> SHE WOULD PROBABLY BETTER BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT.

THE E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVED FROM HER WILL BE TO REMOVE ANY PLANTINGS THAT ARE NOT HEALTHY AQUATIC PLANTINGS THAT DO NOT BELONG THERE. SHE MAYBE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT

MUCH BETTER THAN MYSELF. >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO PRESENT AT THIS TIME?

>> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> IS THERE ANY TESTIMONY YOU WISH TO PROVIDE ON BEHALF AS THE

RESPONDENT? >> NO. >> THE TRAYER IS -- THE TRAILER

IS REMOVED? >> IF YOU'RE GOING TO TESTIFY YOU NEED TO COME UP AND IDENTIFY

YOURSELF WHAT YOUR RELATION IS TO THE CASE. >> I NAME IS KIMBERLY WELCH.

I LIVE AT 1271 BONE FISH COURT. MY HOUSE IS ONE THAT HAD THE TRAILER WHICH I DID ADDRESS THAT

IMMEDIATELY TO MY HUSBAND. HE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED IT. >> ARE YOU THE OWNER OF THE

PROPERTY? >> ONE OF THEM. >> SHE'S NOT THE OWNER OF THIS

PROPERTY. >> THE PROPERTY WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW IS OWNED BY BE BEACHCOMBER PROPERTY OWNERS. THAT'S THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

>> IF I MAY EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ON THAT. WHEN THIS SECTION WAS BUILT, THEY HAD ANTICIPATED DOING LIKE AN HOA. APPARENTLY THAT WAS NEVER DEVELOPED. THIS PARCEL WAS STILL UNDER BEACHCOMBER PROPERTY OWNERS WHICH COUPLE OF RESIDENTS I SPOKEN TO -- ALL CLAIM TO BE THE ONES MAINTAINING IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GETTING SUCH A RESPONSE FROM -- >> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS STANDING TO TESTIFY TODAY FOR THE RESPONDENTS THAT'S BEEN CITED?

MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT PERSON UP HERE TESTIFYING? >> THERE IS NO REGISTERED AGENT.

THE ONLY OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS BEACHCOMBER PROPERTY OWNERS WHICH IS NOT AN HOA I BELIEVE

THE COMMUNITY. >> WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? >> THESE LADIES NEED TO TESTIFY

ABOUT THAT. I DO NOT KNOW. >> YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE

ASSOCIATION. WHICH IS NO LONGER. >> WHOEVER IS GOING TO TESTIFY T STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THIS BEACHCOMBER PROPERT OWNER.

>> I'M OWNER OF BEACHCOMBER. WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE PROPERTY SINCE 2013, MOWING IT.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM. WE ARE THE OWNERS PER THESE DOCUMENTS.

DECLARATION -- DELINEATES WE'RE ALL COLLECTIVELY RESPONSIBLE. AS SUCH, IT'S A STORM MANAGEMENT TRACT. IT'S GOT NO PROPERTY VALUE. IT'S GOT ITS OWN PARCEL I.D.

>> ATE COMMON ELEMENT PART OF AN ASSOCIATION? >> MY RESEARCH INTO ALL THIS STUFF FROM 1993 INDICATES THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A DEVELOPER THAT ORIGINALLY HAD THE PERMITS TO DEVELOP THIS AREA AND HIS ADDRESS WAS A&D CORPORATION, JUPITER, FLORIDA ADDRESS.

>> WAS THERE AN ASSOCIATION BOARD? >> NO.

>> YOU PAY DUES? >> NO. >> HOW IS THIS PROPERTY MOWED?

HOW WAS IT AND MAINTAINED? >> PEOPLE DONATE. GIVE MONEY.

>> IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OR ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY YOU WISH TO GIVE?

[00:10:03]

>> YES. I HAVE A LETTER HERE FROM NICHOLAS MIMS, PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER CITY MANAGER, 2016. THERE WAS A COMPLAINT. IT WAS FOR MOWING.

THIS LETTER IT SAYS -- THIS IS THE ISSUE OF CONTINUE MAINTENANCE STORM WATER TRACT HAS BEEN EXAMINED. THIS IS CLEARLY ADDRESSED AND DECLARATION OF -- AS THE BEACHCOMBER ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. PROPERTY OWNERS, SUBDIVISION HOLD THE TITLE AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STORMWATER AND TRACK.

THIS DEPARTMENT WAS IN TO NOTICE TO THE PROPERTY OWNER WHEN IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SITE HAD BEEN PROPERLY MOWED AND TRIM. CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO OBSERVE THIS SITUATION.& THAT WAS IN 2016. WE TOOK CARE OF MOWING AND THEY TOOK THE VIOLATION DOWN.

THIS JANUARY, VIOLATION WAS A SURPRISE. I THINK IT GOT MAILED TO THE JUPITER, FLORIDA ADDRESS. I DIDN'T RESEARCH IT, THAT CORPORATION POSSIBLY HAS BEEN

GOSH >> PROBABLY THE ADDRESS OF RECORD FOR THAT PARCEL ON THE

TAX BILL. >> YEAH, THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER WHOSE PROBABLY -- COULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS. HE HAS THAT ADDRESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR --

>> I CAN'T GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE. SOUND LIKE YOU GUYS SHOULD TALK TO A LOCAL ATTORNEY TO AUTOMATIC ABOUT YOUR ASSOCIATION MATTERS AND HOW TO RESTRUCTURE THOSE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. THE VIOLATION AT ISSUE IS 103-2031 MODIFICATION OF DRAIN ALL FLOW. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EVIDENCE OR TESTIMONY YOU WANT TO PRESENT RELATED TO THAT VIOLATION THAT'S

BEEN CITED AS OF JANUARY 15, 2026? >> NO.

>> IS THERE ANYONE -- SOMEBODY CAN BETTER EXPLAIN THE VIOLATION?

>> WE HAVE A MEMBER OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. PLEASE COME FORWARD.

>> THAT WILL BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO HEAR. >> GOOD MORNING.

LISTENING INTO EVERYTHING THAT'S HERE. THE PARCEL IN THE NOTICE THAT IS FOR VIOLATION IS THE MAIN STORM WATER TRACT I'M NOT SURE IF THE PLAT CAN BE PULLED UP.

THIS AREA IS DEDICATED FOR THE STORMWATER MAINTENANCE FOR THE AREA.

SOLVE -- SOME OF THE PICTURES SHOWN HAS PLANTINGS ALONG THE RETENTION AREA BANKS THAT IS NOT ALLOWED. THIS IS STORMWATER THEY HAD TO GET PERMITTED THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT. THEY DO NOT ALLOW BANKS TO BE PLANTED WITH ANY TYPE OF VEGETATION OUTSIDE OF AQUATIC VEGETATION WHICH WILL HELP REMOVE PHOSPHOROUS AND OTHER THINGS FROM THE STORMWATER AREA. THAT IS WHY IT IS A MODIFICATION IT WAS PERMITTED TO DO IN ADDITION TO THE EQUIPMENT THAT IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RETENTION AREA.

AGAIN, IN THE PLATTE, IT IS DEDICATED TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OF BEACHCOMBER TO KEEP THE AREA, MOWED, TRIMMED AND CLEANED. AGAIN, BASED UPON HOW THIS AREA WAS PERMITTED, FOR CONSTRUCTION FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT ANY

PLANPLANTINGS ON THE SLOPES OR ANYTHING ELSE WITHIN THAT AREA. >> I SAW A TRAILER IN THE PHOTOS. IS THAT AT ALL PART OF THE VIOLATION?

>> YES. HEATHER CAN SPEAK FURTHER TO ALL THE OTHER ITEMS. YOU CAN'T PARK EQUIPMENT. OTHER THAN STORMWATER, NOTHING ELSE SHOULD BE IN THAT RETENSION AREA. IT IS A RETENTION AREA FOR STORMWATER FLOW.

>> SEPARATE VIOLATION AND SEPARATE CASE. I DON'T SEE THAT HERE AS A

VIOLATION. >> I'M APOLOGIZING. IT IS ALL PART OF THIS BUT THE

[00:15:01]

TRAILER WAS REMOVED QUICKLY. >> THAT'S NO LONGER A PROBLEM. >> THE PLOT WAS NOT UPLOADED AN

EXHIBIT. >> I HAVE OF COPY IF YOU LIKE TO SEE IT.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN TAKE HER COPY? >> WHAT WOULD WE NEED THE PLATTE

FOR? >> IT SHOWS THE AREA, WHICH IS THIS AREA AND IT ALSO SHOWS WHO

IT'S DEDICATED TO. >> IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE THAT.

>> MS. BARNES, WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

>> WHAT'S YOUR SPECIALTY IN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT? >> STORMWATER ENGINEERING.

>> DO YOU REVIEW PLATS FOR STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS FOR GIVEN AREA?

>> I REVIEWED THE STORMWATER DESIGN FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS. LOOKING BACK HISTORICALLY ON THIS, YOU WOULD PULL UP THE PLAT TO SEE WHAT WAS -- IT'S A SUBDIVISION AREA.

WOULD LOOK FOR WHAT AREA IS DESIGNATED AS A STORMWATER AREA. YOU LOOK TO SEE WHO THE DEDICATION IS TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT AREA. THAT MAINTENANCE WAS DEDICATED

TO THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION AND NOT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. >> NORMALLY, I ASK YOU QUESTIONS AND GO THROUGH ALL THIS. WERE YOU ASKED TO PULL UP THE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS

PARTICULAR PARCEL? >> I WAS ASKED TO LOOK FOR POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS BASED UPON THAT. MY FIRST THING I DID WAS PULL UP THE PLAT FOR THIS AREA WHICH IT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT THERE. YOU'LL SEE I THINK IT'S THIS AREA HERE.

ISAAC IF YOU CAN ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT. >> THERE IS A SPACEBAR DOWN

THERE THAT YOU CAN MOVE LEFT TO RIGHT. >> IF YOU CAN MOVE UP.

LITTLE BIT TO THE LEFT. IT'S TO THE LEFT RIGHT AND DOWN. PARCEL A IS LISTED ON THE PLAT

AS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT TRACK. >> DO YOU NEED ME TO ZOOM OUT? >> YEAH, IF YOU ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT. RIGHT THERE IS THE PARCEL IN QUESTION WHERE THE EQUIPMENT WAS LOADED AND YOU'LL SEE THAT -- SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT WAS SENT TO ME YOU'LL SEE VEGETATION PLANTINGS ALONG THE SLOPE BEHIND ONE OF THE HOMES MAYBE ON PARCEL, 6, 7 OR 8. I'M NOT SURE WHICH PARCEL THAT WAS THAT EXTERNAL PLANTINGS SUCH AS -- I'M NOT SURE AS TO THE VEGETATION TYPE. IT WOULD BE LIKE A HOUSEHOLD PLANT AND NOT AQUATIC PLANT. GOING DOWN THE SLOPE, THE RETENTION AREA SLOPE.

TO THE LEFT FURTHER ON THE PLAT, YOU'LL SEE THE STORMWATER TRACT DEDICATION.

BECAUSE THAT IS SECTION 103 IS A BUILDING SECTION AND THAT WOULD PERTAIN TO THE STORMWATER FLOW

AND DESIGN OF SUBDIVISIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ASK? THANK YOU. ANY OTHER STATEMENTS YOU WISH TO MAKE OR ANYONE THAT'S WITH YOU

THAT'S A PROPERTY OWNER OF THIS ASSOCIATION? >> NO.

WHAT I LIKE TO HAVE IS A MARKUP OF THIS DRAWING OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

WHAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE TRACT. >> I DON'T KNOW THEY CAN DO THAT ON A PLAT.

[00:20:05]

THAT'S NOT GOING TO SHOW ANY VEGETATION. WHICH IS WHAT THE VIOLATIONS CURRENTLY ABOUT. REGARDING THE MODIFICATION OF THE DRAINAGE FLOW.

>> ANYTHING THAT'S ON THE BANKS OR IN THAT RETENTION AREA OR THE BANKS OF THE RETENTION AREA

WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED. >> YOU NEED TO CONNECT WITH OUR STAFF MEMBER HERE AFTER THE HEARING TO GET SOME CLARITY ON WHAT IT IS THAT THE ASSOCIATION NEEDS TO DO TO BE IN COMPLIANCE SO THIS VIOLATION WILL BE RESOLVED. OKAY.

THERE'S NO OTHER TESTIMONY OR EVIDENCE. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND FIND THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS AND ORDER THAT THE VIOLATER BE GIVEN TEN DAYS TO REMOVE VEGETATION AND OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY PERMITS. A FAILURE TO COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDERED WILL RESULT IN FINE OF $250 PER DAY. THANK YOU FOR APPEARING TODAY.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONNECT WITH STAFF ON BEHALF OF YOUR ASSOCIATION TO CLARIFY AND RESOLVE THE VIOLATION. ANY CASES HEARD TODAY, YOU'LL HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL ORDERED

ENTERED. PLACE BE MINDFUL THAT AS WELL. >> THE STAFF, GIVE US GUIDANCE ON WOULD BE THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT? CITY ENGINEERING?

THE RESOLUTION OF THE VIOLATION. >> I'M GOING LET THE STAFF RESPOND.

I'M NOT SURE WHO THE CORRECT PERSON IS YOU NEED TO WORK WITH. >> WE SPOKE BEFORE THE HEARING.

I ASKED HER TO SEND ME AN E-MAIL WITH INFORMATION. IF SHE CAN INCLUDE HER PHONE NUMBER WITH THAT. I CAN GIVE HER A CALL AND SET SOMETHING UP WITH HER.

>> OKAY. IT SOUNDS YOU E-MAILED WITH STAFF.

YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND PROVIDE HER WITH A PHONE NUMBER AND SHE'LL SET UP A CALL AND

[3. Case Number: CE-2025-741 Investigating Officer: Heather Debevec Violation Location: 214 Southern Ave]

CONNECT WITH YOU. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> OUR NEXT CASE.

THIRD CASE. CASE NUMBER: CE-2025-741 214 SOUTHERN AVE

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> THIS IS CASE NUMBER: CE-2025-741 214 SOUTHERN AVE THERE'S CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE INITIATED AN NOVEMBER 6, 2025. THE OWNER SAID THE PROPERTY ARE OSCAR ALEJANDRO BLANCA AND YOANIA ESTRELLA OLIVER. IT'S GOING TO BE REFER TO 2419, NUANCE.

THE CITY REQUESTED THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS THE VIOLATION EXIST THE FOLLOWING BE ORDERED.

THE VIOLATER BE GIVEN TEN DAYS TO REFRAIN FROM PARKING IN THE FRONT YARD.

FAILURE WILL RESULT IN FINE OF $100 PER DAY. I DO HAVE PH PHOTOS TO SUBMIT.

THERE'S BEEN A PERMIT IN PROGRESS BUT NOT YET ISSUED. >> PHOTOGRAPH STATED NOVEMBER 3, LAST YEAR. I NOTICE VIOLATION OF PROPERTY OWNER AND PHOTOGRAPHS DATED DECEMBER 1 LAST YEAR AND FEBRUARY 2ND OF THIS YEAR AND MARCH 20TH AND MARCH 30TH.

ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICT THE VIOLATION AS YOU OBSERVED IT? >> YES MA'AM.

>> CITY MOVES INTO EVIDENCE CITY COMPOSITE ONE. >> WE'LL ACCEPT INTO EVIDENCE

[00:25:02]

CITY'S COMPOSITE ONE. >> OFFICER DEBEVEC, HAVE YOU HAD CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER?

>> NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER. THERE'S A GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRYING TO ASSIST SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I VIOLATED. I VIOLATED ALMOST EVERY THOUSAND IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY ARE ONES THAT WERE APPLYING FOR PERMIT I GUESS TO EITHER EXTEND OR BUILD ANOTHER DRIVEWAY. THAT PERMIT IS IN PROCESS BUT I

HAVEN'T SEEN CHANGES WITH IT. IT IS NOT YET ISSUED. >> NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> AS FAR AS THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN VIOLATION, 214 SOUTHERN AVENUE, WHO ARE YOU TO THAT PROPERTY? ARE YOU GUYS THE OWNERS? OKAY YOU ARE THE OWNERS?

DO YOU HAVE HAVE TESTIMONY YOU WISH TO RESPOND TODAY? >> I BELIEVE THE PERMIT WAS JUST ISSUED YESTERDAY. THAT WAS THE LAST THING I SAW. I HAVE IT PRINTED.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO START THE PROJECT. >> THE PROPERTY -- THE PROJECT THAT YOU'RE GETTING READY TO START, COULD YOU OUTLINE TO WHAT THAT IS?

>> INITIALLY, WE WERE GOING TO DO ANOTHER DRIVEWAY TO THE RIGHT OF THIS DRIVEWAY THAT WE HAVE.

ONE OF THE GUYS FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, HE CAME OUT TO HELP US OUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SPACING THAT WAS REQUIRED BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS.

THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT HE RECOMMENDED WAS TO EXTEND THE ONE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE TO MAKE IT THE MAX WITH POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD DO. SO WE CAN FIT ALL THE CARS NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND THEN BEHIND EACH OTHER. THEN, THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TO RESUBMIT FOR THAT. HE HELPED US FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY WE COULD DO TO BE IN COMPLIANCE AND THEN THAT'S WHEN WE RESUBMITTED. IT WAS APPROVED TWO DAYS AGO AND THEN YESTERDAY, THEY ISSUED THE PERMIT, WE HAVE TO REQUEST FOR THE FIRST INSPECTION.

I BELIEVE. >> OKAY, ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITHIN -- IN THE MEANTIME, WHILE THAT'S BEING DONE, IT APPEARS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE VIOLATION. YOU CAN'T PARK IN THE FRONT

YARD. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? >> YES

>> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO SUBMIT TO. >> NO PRETTY MUCH TIME WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THE DRIVEWAY. SPECIFIC TIME FRAME THAT WE

HAVE. >> Y HONOR, ONCE THE PERMIT IS ISSUED, THEY HAVE THE LENGTH

OF THE PERMIT. >> OKAY. THAT CLARIFIES THE WORK YOU HAVE ONGOING. BUT THE VIOLATION ITSELF IS JUST TO NOT PARK IN THE FRONT YARD.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT, FROM THE PHOTO I'M LOOKING AT, IT APPEARS YOU COULD JUST PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY WHILE THIS WORK IS BEING DONE, YOU'D CLEAR UP YOUR VIOLATION.

THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WHILE THE PROPERTY ALTERATIONS ARE OCCURRING WITH YOUR NEW PERMIT THAT'S BEING ISSUED IN THAT PROCESS. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO TESTIFY TO OR NO OTHER QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE. I WILL MAKE MY RECOMMENDATION.

>> I'M SORRY, YOU WILL TESTIFY, I HAVE TO SWEAR YOU IN. >> WE CAN'T MAKE ANOTHER DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE PROPER CLEARANCE BETWEEN BOTH OUR YARD AND THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD, ONCE WE'RE DOING WORK TO THE ACTUAL DRIVEWAY, EXTENDING IT ONCE WORK IS BEING DONE, WHAT

DO WE DO WITH THE VEHICLES? >> ONCE THE PERMIT GETS APPROVED, THEY HAVE 180 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE JOB. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO ON A DAILY BASIS OUT THERE TO SEE IF -- THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. THERE'S WORK IN PROGRESS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY PROBABLY STILL GOING TO BE IN VIOLATION. THEY HAVE 180 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE JOB.

THERE'S WORK BEING DONE WITH THE PROPERTY. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS CAN WORK OUT WITH HEATHER. AT THE END OF THE DAY, ONCE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVES THOSE INSPECTIONS AND YOU'RE PARKING ON CONCRETE, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU HAVE MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT RIGHT NOW. >> SHOULD WE MODIFY THE RECOMMENDATION? THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO LANE UP WITH WHAT THEY NEED IF THEY

GOTTEN A PERMIT ISSUED AND THEY WILL BE DOING THIS WORK? >> THEY PROBABLY HAVE TO PARK ON THE GRASS WHILE WORKING IS BEING DONE. WE HAVE TO GET AN INSPECTION.

[00:30:02]

>> THE YOUNG WOMAN STATED THAT THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AND SHE HAS A COPY OF IT.

MAY I SEE THAT COPY? >> COULD YOU PROVIDE US WITH THE COPY OF THE PERMIT AND LET OUR STAFF MEMBER REVIEW THAT AND ENTER INTO EVIDENCE AS AN EXHIBIT.

>> YOU CAN KEEP THIS ONE IF YOU WANT. I CAN DO ANOTHER ONE.

>> THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED YESTERDAY. THEY WILL STILL HAVE THE LENGTH OF THE PERMIT IRREGARDLESS WHATEVER -- IF WE GIVE THEM THE 10 DAYS.

THEY STILL HAVE THE LENGTH OF THAT PERMIT. IF BY THE END OF THE PERMIT, WHICH IS AT 180 DAYS, IF THINGS ARE NOT COMPLETED AND THE PERMIT IS NOT RENEWED AND THEY ARE STILL PARKING IN THE YARD AT THAT POINT, THAT WOULD BE WHEN THIS WOULD COME INTO EFFECT.

>> OKAY. I DON'T THINK IT MAKE SENSE TO TELL THEM TO TEN DAYS AND

FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL BE ASSESSED A FINE. >> THAT WAS BECAUSE -- THAT WAS PRIOR TO HEATHER FINDING OUT THE PERMIT HAS BEEN APPROVED AND GIVEN.

NOW THAT THEY'VE SERVICED THEIR PERMIT, IT KIND OF CHANGES EVERYTHING.

>> CORRECT. I LIKE TO RECOMMEND AND ACKNOWLEDGE WE'LL ACCEPT THIS EXHIBIT INTO EVIDENCE, YOUR PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS ISSUED 3/31/26.

GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO CONSTRUCT OR REPLACE YOUR DRIVEWAY AT 214 SOUTHERN AVENUE.

I LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE TIME THAT 180 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOUR PERMIT WAS ISSUED THAT ISSUE DATE IS 3/31/26 TO COMPLETE THE WORK THAT THE PERMIT AUTHORIZES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITHIN THAT 180 DAYS, IF UP TO BEGIN PARKING IN THE YARD AT THAT EXPIRATION OF THE PERMIT AND THE WORK ISN'T COMPLETED, AT THAT POINT IN TIME, I WOULD ORDER THAT WOULD RESULT IN FINE OF $100 PER DAY.

YOU WANT TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF WHILE YOU GOT THE PERMIT ISSUED IN THAT 180 DAYS.

IF FOR SOME REASON YOU FORESEE THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO EITHER EXTEND OR REISSUE PERMIT. I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS FOR THAT. YOU NEED TO MANAGE THAT. THANK YOU.

[4. Case Number: CE-2025-668 Investigating Officer: Heather Debevec Violation Location: 131 N 2nd St]

>> OUR NEXT CASE WILL BE OUR FOURTH CASE IN VIOLATION CASES. CASE NUMBER: CE-2025-668 131 N 2ND ST

>> YOUR HONOR, THIS IS CASE NUMBER: CE-2025-668 131 N 2ND ST IT WAS CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE ISSUED ON OCTOBER 14, 2025. THE OWNER IS RICHARD A. KOCH INVESTMENTS LLC. THE VIOLATER BE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO CLEAN THE AWNING.

FAILURE WILL RESULT IN FINE OF $250 PER DAY. I DO HAVE PHOTOS WHICH TO SUBMIT. I KNOW THAT THE OWNER TO MY LEFT, MS. COKE HAS PRESSURIZED THE AWNINGS A COUPLE OF TIME. THERE'S MARK AND STAINS ON THE AWNINGS WHICH IS WHY I'M STILL

MOVING FORWARD WITH THE CASE. >> YOU PROVIDED PHOTOGRAPHS FROM OCTOBER 14TH LAST YEAR.

THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION PHOTOGRAPHS DATED NOVEMBER 20 LAST YEAR, JANUARY 23RD THIS

[00:35:04]

>> YES MA'AM. >> CITY MOVES INTO EVIDENCE CITY COMPOSITE ONE.

>> WE'LL ACCEPT INTO EVIDENCE CITY COMPOSITE ONE. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO

PRESENT AT THIS TIME? >> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> MA'AM, PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF BY NAME AND ADDRESS AND WHO YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THE PROPERTY THAT THE VIOLATION AT

ISSUE? >> I'M CHRISTINE COKE. I'M ONE OF THE PARTNERS OF RICHARD A. COKE INVESTMENTS LLC. ALONG WITH MY SISTERS. I'M THE MANAGING PARTNER AND THE

ADDRESS THAT I USE IS 131 NORTH SECOND STREET, SUITE 206. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY TESTIMONY ON

EVIDENCE YOU WISH TO SUBMIT? >> IN AN EFFORT TO ASSURE YOU OF MY FAMILY'S COMMITMENT, I WANT TO TAKE THE MINUTE TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON MY HISTORY. MY DAD FOUNDED THE FIRST DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. HE PAID HIS OWN WAY TO A CONFERENCE TO LEARN ABOUT CRAS AND THEN HE FOUNDED A CRA HERE IN FORT PIERCE. I HAVE SERVED ON THE CITY CIVIL SERVICE APPEALS BOARD ANDÚCOMMI. MY DAD PURCHASED THE BUILDING IN 1980.

THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A FEATHER IN THE CITY'S CAP BUT MADE IT ALL RESTORATION TEN TIMES HARDER. WE BEGAN BY REPLACING THE TILE ON THE ROOF THAT WERE FALLING DOWN. WE REPLACED THEM WITH NEW MATERIAL.

I HAD TO GO IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION TO USE DIFFERENT MATERIAL FROM WHAT WAS THERE.

THE COLUMN ON THE BUILDINGS FACADE WAS PLAIN CONCRETE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT.

WE HAD THEM MADE OF CONCRETE SO THEY LAST FOREVER RATHER THAN FOAM, WHICH WAS HALF THE PRICE.

WE HAD TO A PAINTER HAND PAINT THE SCROLLS. FINALLY, WE HAD CUSTOM BRACKETS AND AWNINGS MADE TO MATCH WHAT WAS ON THE BUILDING 100 YEARS AGO.

SINCE WE INSTALLED THEM, WE HAD THEM TAKEN DOWN AND PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED SEVERAL TIMES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MEN WHO DID THAT DIED AND IS NO ONE ELSE IN THE TRICOUNTY AREA THAT DOES IT. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE HAVE SPRAYED THE AWNING WITH MILDEW REMOVER. TRIED BLEACH. THE AWNINGS ARE AT LEAST 1000% BETTER. CONTINUE TO IMPROVE EVERYDAY BECAUSE THE SPRAY WE USE WORKS WITH SUN EXPOSURE. I LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THERE WAS MORE MILDEW AND STAINS ON THE CITY'S WALL THAN OUR AWNINGS. FINALLY, REVIEWING THE CODE CITED TO VIOLATERS. REFERENCE MAINTAINING GOOD CONDITION, FIXING WOOD, KEEPING DOORS AND WINDOWS WATER TIGHT, METAL SURFACES RUST FREE AND OXIDATION REMOVED.

WE'RE FULLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OF THOSE. THIS IS 100-YEAR-OLD BUILDING AND WE HAVE SPENT OVER $100,000 TO IMPROVE ITS HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE.

IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE PLANNING ON REPLACING THE WALLS THAT ONCE SAT ON THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE BUILDING. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD REQUEST THAT THE VIOLATION BE REMOVED.

IF IT IS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND REMOVE THE FEW STAINS REMAINING.

IF NOT, I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE AWNINGS DOWN WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE BOTH THE ESTHETICS OF THE BUILDING THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THE BUILD'S HISTORIC ACCURACY.

THANK YOU. >> THE VIOLATION AT ISSUE IS IPMC304.2 PROTECTIVE TREATMENT.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT. WHAT YOU BEING ASKED TO DO, IS TO THE CLEAN THE AWNINGS.

TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE. I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT IN YOUR OUTLINE. WHY CAN'T THE AWNINGS BE CLEANED?

>> WE'VE CLEANED THEM. IN THE CODE THAT THEY CITED IT SAID THEY SHOULD BE IN GOOD CONDITION. DIDN'T SAY THEY HAVE TO BE IN PERFECT CONDITION.

I WOULD PUT YOU THEY ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE PICTURE THAT'S ON THE SCREEN

NOW IS NOT INDICATIVE OF HOW IT LOOKS THIS MORNING. >> DO YOU HAVE MORE RECENT

[00:40:03]

PHOTOS TO SHOW US AS EVIDENCE TODAY? >> I DON'T.

I WALKED THE BUILDING THIS MORNING. >> IT APPEARS THAT THE PHOTO WERE TAKEN MARCH 30TH. BETWEEN MARCH 30TH AND TODAY'S DATE, APRIL 1ST, HAS THERE

BEEN ANY ADDITIONAL PRESSURE WASHING? >> MOLD AND MILDEW KILLING.

>> WAS THAT DONE YESTERDAY? >> I THINK IT WAS DONE LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.

>> DID YOU ALERT THE DEPARTMENT TO GO BACK OUT TO REINSPECT? >> IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR IT

TO WORK. IT'S NOT AN INSTANT THING. >> OKAY.

>> YOU GUYS WANT TO LEAVE THE CODE VIOLATION UP. THAT'S FINE.

I WILL CUT THE AWNINGS DOWN THIS AFTERNOON >> NO ONE IS TELLING YOU HAVE TO CUT THEM DOWN. THEY NEED TO BE CLEANED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE.

AT THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE BEFORE ME MORE RECENT THAN MARCH 30, 2026.

THE PHOTOS HERE AT 7:48 A.M. I WILL FIND THAT THE VIOLATION AT ISSUE DOES EXIST.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO CLEAN THE AWNINGS. YOU'RE NOT FINED WITHIN THAT 30 DAY PERIOD UNLESS YOU DON'T COME IN COMPLIANCE. IF THEY ARE COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDERED IT THERE RESULT IN $250 PER DAY. IT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT TO THAT YOU DO STAY IN TOUCH WITH STAFF THAT YOU HAVE THE AWNINGS PRESSURE WASHED AND CLEANED AND CONTACT THE STAFF SO THEY CAN DO A REINSPECTION SO THE FINES DON'T COME IN ISSUE.

YOU'LL HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL ANY ORDERS. >> MY QUESTION IS, IN THE CODE THAT CITED, NO PLACE DOES IT SAY CLEAN IT STAYS REMOVE OXIDATION, KEEP THE WOOD IN GOOD SHAPE, KEEP RUST FROM THE BUILDING. KEEP THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, WATER TIGHT.

ALL OF WHICH WE HAVE DONE. I WOULD SAY THAT THE AWNINGS ARE NOT IN PERFECT SHAPE, THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THEY ARE NOT TORN. THEY ARE NOT RIPPED.

>> I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONNECT WITH STAFF AFTER THE HEARING TODAY TO GET SPECIFICATIONS WHICH THEY REQUIRE TO COME IN COMPLIANT WITH THE CODE AND VIOLATION.

YOU WILL BE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO CLEAN THE AWNINGS. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS BUSINESS OWNER AND WORK WITH STAFF EVEN WHAT -- STAFF ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

>> IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. THERE'S NO ONE IN THE TRICOUNTY AREA -- I LOOKED TO HAVE THEM MAKE NEW ONES. WE SPENT $23,000 ON HAVING

CUSTOM MADE BRACKETS FOR THOSE AWNINGS. >> WE APPRECIATE THAT.

>> NOBODY ELSE WILL MAKE NEW ONES FOR ME. >> PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH STAFF IN THE 30-DAYTIME PERIOD SO YOU CAN MAKE EFFORTS TO COME IN COMPLIANCE AND RESOLVE THE

OPEN VIOLATION. >> THANK YOU. >> OUR NEXT CASE, NUANCE CASES

AS THE PROPERTY OWNER SO THIS DOESN'T CONTINUE AND YOU'RE NOT BACK HERE AGAIN, YOU GOT TO RUN

YOUR RESTAURANT AND DO SOME OTHER THINGS. >> WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT I

CAN DO? >> I CAN'T GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A LOCAL ATTORNEY THAT GIVE YOU ADVICE ABOUT THAT.
