V. MOTIONS
A. Motions
1. CASE NO: CELU20200000904
MOTION TO TRANSFER CASE FROM THE OFFICE OF
THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD
OWNER: FOGGS INVESTMENTS LLC
OFFICER: John Fuentes
VIOLATIONS: Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Section
1.04.01(A) and Section 2.02.03. The processing/recycling of gravel,
stone/concrete and earthly material without a conditional use.
FOLIO NO: 00190600006
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 10270 Immokalee RD, Naples, FL 34120
Colleen MacAlister, Attorney represented Foggs Investments and filed the Motion requesting
transfer of the case to the Code Enforcement Board (CEB). She noted:
On May 11, 2020, a violation was issued to the Respondent which contained a list of
items to be addressed and if compliance was not met a Citation or hearing could be
scheduled on the matter.
She received notice the case was scheduled for a Special Magistrate (SM) hearing and
requested a Continuance and transfer to the CEB.
The Continuance was granted by Staff even though the Motion was directed to the
Special Magistrate and she (Attorney MacAlister) never heard a response to her motion
to transfer the case.
Subsequently she filed a new motion to transfer the case.
The transfer is requested because the CEB operates more independently than SM and the
Respondent prefers to be heard by the CEB given it is a broad based panel with an
independent attorney.
The County Attorney informed her there is no procedure for Staff to transfer the case to
the CEB, so she has directed the request to the SM.
Jeff Klatzkow, County Attorney noted:
The Special Magistrate process was created to deal with legal type issues and the case
deals with a zoning infraction and whether the use is allowed under Collier County
Codes.
The Special Magistrate is a judicial body with land use experience.
The County has not chosen a side in the case, rather has determined the use is not
permitted at this point in time.
If it is the decision of the Special Magistrate to transfer the case to the CEB, he will not
object.
Attorney MacAlister noted the Respondents rights should guide the decision and expressed
concern on the Respondent’s due process if the case is heard by the SM.
Special Magistrate Garretson noted:
She is an independent contractor, not an employee of the County and disagrees one party
should be able to determine the forum for which a case is heard.
The County pays the CEB’s attorney and the SM and County Staff participates in both
forums.
August 7, 2020

Both forums provide for due process and any decision rendered by the SM may be
appealed if either party so desires.
Special Magistrate Garretson DENIED the Motion to Transfer the Case from the Office of the
Special Magistrate to the Code Enforcement Board.
2. CASE NO: CELU20200000904
MOTION TO DISMISS NOTICE OF VIOLATION OR LIMIT HEARING
OWNER: FOGGS INVESTMENTS LLC
OFFICER: John Fuentes
VIOLATIONS: Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Sections
1.04.01(A) and 2.02.03. The processing/recycling of gravel, stone/concrete
and earthly material without a conditional use.
FOLIO NO: 00190600006
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 10270 Immokalee RD, Naples, FL 34120
Colleen MacAlister, Attorney represented the Respondent and filed the Motion requesting
Dismissal of the Notice of Violation or Limit Hearing. She noted she was unsure if the Special
Magistrate had the authority to dismiss the Notice of Violation however if the case moves
forward, the testimony by those involved should be limited to the Notice of Violation and
supported by evidence.
Jeff Klatzkow, County Attorney noted the case revolves around the Respondent initiating a
rock crushing operation which generated the complaints and has no problem limiting the case to
the Notice of Violation.
Special Magistrate Garretson noted the case will be limited to the issues cited in the Notice of
Violation.
3. CASE NO: CELU20200000904
MOTION TO REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENAS

OFFICER: John Fuentes

1.04.01(A) and 2.02.03. The processing/recycling of gravel, stone/concrete
and earthly material without a conditional use.
FOLIO NO: 00190600006
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 10270 Immokalee RD, Naples, FL 34120
Colleen MacAlister, Attorney represented the Respondent and filed the Motion requesting the
Issuance of Subpoenas. She noted she hasn’t heard a response to her request to issue the
subpoenas (9) to the individuals and expressed concern on hearing any testimony from the
neighbors present for today’s hearings as she has not had time to prepare. She doesn’t know who
they are and moving forward would adversely affect Mr. Fogg’s rights.
Discussion occurred on whether the case should move forward today as scheduled under Item
V.A.1 with Mr. Klatzkow noting some of those neighbors impacted by the operation are present
today and should be allowed to speak. The County is prepared to move forward with the case.
Special Magistrate Garretson noted one option is to allow the neighbors to speak and then it
could be continued to a later date following the testimony.
August 7, 2020
5
Ms. MacAlister objected to starting the case. The neighbors present, as well as County Staff
could return at a later date. The neighbors present should have been aware other motions were to
be heard today which may delay start of the case
Mr. Klatzkow noted it is not an uncommon practice in the legal field for cases to be initiated
and continued to another time.
Special Magistrate Garretson GRANTED the Motion for Issuance of Subpoenas.
She noted the cases for Item VI (Stipulations) will be heard and the parties may meet to
determine how to move forward with the case scheduled for today under item VII.A.1
Hearings.
Ms. MacAlister objected to moving forward as she was not provided a witness list.
Special Magistrate Garretson noted in this forum, there is no requirement for disclosure of
witnesses.

Colleen MacAlister, Attorney represented the Respondent and noted the parties met during a
break and it is her understanding the County will read the Violation Notice, the witnesses will be
heard and the case continued to the next hearing date.
Special Magistrate Garretson noted this would not preclude other witnesses from appearing at a
later date during the case.
Mr. Ossorio reported his intention is for the Officer to present the case and take public comment
from the neighbors.
Ms. MacAlister objected noting it was her understanding there would only be public comment, not
the County presenting its case during today’s proceedings.
Mr. Ossorio noted the County needs to initiate the case in order for public comments to be heard
on the matter.
Special Magistrate Garretson allowed the hearing to proceed noting she would limit the
proceedings as she sees fit.
Officer Fuentes represented the County and noted the case involves the processing/recycling of
gravel and other materials without a permit. He requested video and photographic evidence be
entered into the case.
Ms. MacAlister objected to the Evidence as it is being entered by the County as she has not
authenticated the material.
Mr. Fuentes reported he took the video and photos to be provided in the case which depict the
violation.
Ms. MacAlister questioned Mr. Fuentes on his interpretation for the definition of recycling and
processing.
Special Magistrate Garretson informed Ms. MacAlister she will be allowed to fully present her
case and contest any of the County’s presentation (Evidence, definitions, etc.). Staff will be
present for the next hearing, as well as the Evidence introduced in today’s proceedings.

Roseann Stevens, Lamorada Homeowners Association Board Member reported she is a
Member of the Board of Directors and they have engaged an attorney in the matter who
submitted a letter to the County outlining their concerns and seeking enforcement of the

August 7, 2020

She represents the homeowners as the sole owner/member on the developer controlled
Board of Directors (she was elected by the owners to serve).
The Association’s President is Gregory Roughgarden of Lennar Homes.
She represents all homeowners of Lamorada and seeking enforcement of the zoning code.
She purchased her property (lot 82) in September of 2016. The Master Association is
responsible for landscaping.
James Pianowski, Lamorada Resident reported he anticipates to be subpoenaed and will wait
to provide comment at that time.
Bill Stradling, Lamorada resident noted he has a background in Florida land use issues and
objects to the operation as it is not in compliance with County zoning requirements.
During questioning by Ms. MacAlister, he noted he purchased his property in July of 2019 and
has filed no complaints on the property to the rear of his lot.
Jim Gram, Lamorada resident testified the operation generates loud noises, shaking of the
ground and his home’s windows, dust fallout, vibrations, etc. He investigated the area prior to
purchasing his property on March 30, 2019 and it was quiet without the present activity ongoing
on the Fogg property. He expressed concern over the quality of life, negative impacts on
property values, fallout of dust on cars and homes, compromised air quality and a general
nuisance. The use on the Fogg property has changed since he’s resided on site from a nursery to
include a rock processing plant.
Ms. MacAlister requested a series of photos be entered into evidence at no objection from the
County.
Evidence Entered: Composite Exhibit B: photos with date to be provided at a later time.
During questioning by Ms. MacAlister he noted:
He visited his property numerous times during construction and it was quiet and didn’t
see the present activity on the Fogg property.
He inquired about the uses on the Fogg’s property prior to purchasing and discovered it
was a nursery.
He did file a written complain with Code Enforcement on the activity.
The Case was Continued until September 4, 2020.
Mr. Stradling expressed concern there was a Cease and Desist Order filed for the operation with
non-compliance and the matter continues to be delayed.
Ms. MacAlister noted the order did not meet legal requirements.
The Special Magistrate noted she has no authority for the Cease and Desist Order and the
case is proceeding.

There was no appeal filed and the case has been placed on the docket seeking the Imposition of

Ms. Nunez testified:
In March of 2020, her two dogs were found running at large and impounded with costs
amounting to approximately $400.00
She is appealing the charges as she has resolved the issue by fencing in her yard and the
animals no longer have the ability to run at large.
She requested the fines be waived given the action she has taken to address the situation.
Domestic Animal Services Officer Perry reported this was a second offense, with a warning issued
the first time, however, is satisfied if the fence secures the dogs and prevents the incidents from re-
occurring.
Special Magistrate Garretson, after hearing the testimony WAIVED the costs of the fines.
