NEXT MEETING DATE - April 28, 2011 11. ADJOURN March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: All right. Thank you very much. Good morning. I'd like to call the Code Enforcement Board, Collier County, to order for March 24, 2011. Notice: Respondents may be limited to 20 minutes for case presentation unless additional time is granted by the board. Persons wishing to speak on any agenda item will receive up to five minutes unless the time is adjusted by the chair. All parties participating in the public hearings are asked to observe Robert's Rules of Order and speak one at a time so the court reporter can record all statements being made. Any person who decides to appeal a decision of this board will need a record of the proceedings pertaining thereto and, therefore, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. Neither Collier County nor the Code Enforcement Board shall be responsible for providing this record. May I have a roll call, please. MS. WALDRON: Mr. Ken Kelly? CHAIRMAN KELLY: Here. MS. BAKER: Mr. Robert Kaufman? MR. KAUFMAN: Here. MS. BAKER: Mr. Gerald Lefebvre? MR. LEFEBVRE: Here. MS. BAKER: Mr. Tony Marino. MR. MORINO: Here. MS. BAKER: Mr. Larry Dean, James Lavinski, Lionel L'Esperance, and Ronald Doino all have excused absences for today. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. So we are -- we do have a quorum with the members that are here. Moving on to the approval of agenda. Would you like to go through the changes, please. MS. BAKER: Yes, sir. Under No.4, public hearings, motions, Page 2 March 24, 2011 Letter A, motions, motion for extension of time, we have three additions. No.2 will be Robert A. Flick, Case CESD201 00008711. No.3 will be Jeffrey C. and Tammy 1. Taylor, Case CESD200900 10167. No.4 will be Bruce A. Blocker, Case CESD20100005205. Under Letter B, stipulations, we have three stipulations. The first will be Case CESD20100005061, Juan Sanchez Olvera and Pamela Jean Sanchez. Second will be Case CESD20080000034, Mainscape Naples, LLC. Third will be Case CEV20100006752, Stan L. and Nancy Spence. Under Letter C, hearings, No.1, Case CEROW20110000485, Eden Institute Foundation, Inc., has been withdrawn. No.2, Case CEROW20090017262, Highland Properties of Lee & Collier, has been withdrawn. No.3, Case CELUPM20110000047, Pee-Wee's Dumpster, Inc., and Victor Thomas George, has been withdrawn. No.4, Case CEOCC20110001554, Pee-Wee's Dumpster, Inc., and Victor Thomas George, has been withdrawn. No.5, Case CENA20110001553, Pee-Wee's Dumpster's, Inc., and Victor Thomas George, has been withdrawn. And we have an addition under hearings. We did have a No. 10, Stan and Nancy Spence, CEV2010006752, which was moved from imposition of fines, which is also a stipulation, so that would have been No. 10 on the agenda. And then we have an addition of an emergency case, which will be No. 11. It's Melissa K. and Joseph L. Barrs (phonetic), Case CEPM20110003398. And under No.5, old business, Letter A, motion for imposition of fines/liens, No.9, Case CESD20090000978, Maria Ramirez, has been Page 3 March 24, 2011 withdrawn; No. 10, Case CEROW20090000973, Maria Ramirez, has been withdrawn; No. 11, Case CESD20090000972, Maria Ramirez, has been withdrawn; No. 12, Case CESD20090000975, Maria Ramirez, has been withdrawn. And under No.6, new business, we would like to add Letter A for elections. Due to the number of people that are here today, maybe we want to wait until next meeting to do that? CHAIRMAN KELLY: It's really going to be up to the board and you guys, whichever you'd like to do. What's the will of the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I think we could have it right now. No big deal. MS. BAKER: Okay. So we'll add Letter A, elections, under new business. CHAIRMAN KELLY: All right, great. In that case I'll accept a motion to accept the agenda. MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries. Moving on to the approval of the minutes from the February 24, 2011, hearing. Any changes? MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a motion to approve. MR. KAUFMAN: Second. Page 4 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Second. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries. Now on to public hearings, motions. Letter A, motions. Motion for an extension of time. We have three cases. The first one is Enrique and Maria Ruiz. Are the respondent here? Notice, for any respondents who want to speak, you'll be sworn in by the court reporter, and also if there's anyone here who needs a translator, the translator will be sworn in separately. And of course, attorneys don't need to be sworn in since they're representing. (The staff member was duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) (The interpreter was duly sworn to translate from English to Spanish and Spanish to English, and indicated in the affirmative.) (The speaker was duly sworn, through the interpreter, and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Usually in these cases where a motion is brought to us from the respondent, we like to hear a little bit about the situation that they're going through and the reason for the request for the extension. MS. RUIZ: I just need more time to move. CHAIRMAN KELLY: One second. Could I get you to pull the microphone closer. Page 5 March 24, 2011 MS. RUIZ: I am in the process of getting the permit, but I just don't understand what you want. I don't get what you're really asking. CHAIRMAN KELLY: We did receive a letter from her, and in that letter it stated she requested 90 days for more time in order to get the permit. MS. RUIZ: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Does she understand exactly what she needs to do in order to get the permit? MS. RUIZ: You mean to move it? I want that just to move. Because they're asking me to move it ten feet where I am. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Can --let me ask the investigator a question. Good morning. MR. WALKER: Good morning, sir. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: You want to state your name just for the record. MR. WALKER: Weldon Walker, code enforcement investigator. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning, Weldon. This is just a setback issue? MR. WALKER: Yes. To my knowledge it is. She's been working with the permitting people. Evidently there is some conflict in reference to where it is sitting in reference to the property line in the rear. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Does the county have any objection to the 90 days? MR. WALKER: None whatsoever, sir. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have any questions for either party from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I have a question. This case was heard in November, I believe. THE INTERPRETER: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: My question is, what was done -- since the Page 6 March 24, 2011 first thing was to get a permit, what was done in November, December, January, February? Nothing's been done as far as I can see on the paperwork. THE INTERPRETER: I want to ask for permit, but the person in charge of giving permits, I don't understand what she wants. I fill -- I fill the documents for the permit -- requiring the permit, but I really don't understand -- I don't know what she wants. MR. KAUFMAN: Is it a language problem? THE INTERPRETER: Yes, language. MR. KAUFMAN: There is nobody that she spoke to at the permit department who speaks Spanish? THE INTERPRETER: She speaks Spanish, but she does not explain herself well. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Weldon, is there anyone on maybe the code enforcement staff that can help navigate that permit process for the respondent? MR. WALKER: Yes. We can make that available to her. MR. KAUFMAN: My final question, has the $80.57 been paid? MR. WALKER: Yes, it has. MS. RUIZ: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. LEFEBVRE: Just as a recommendation, maybe when she comes down to the permitting department, if someone from code enforcement can be there with her, and maybe between the three people -- someone that's Spanish speaking, could maybe get this done, get this expedited so she can -- if we do grant 90 days, that she doesn't have to come back for another extension. MR. WALKER: Yeah. Code enforcement will be willing to do whatever we can for her. MR. LEFEBVRE: So please have her coordinate with code enforcement when she comes down so they can be there and there's no misunderstanding at this point. Page 7 March 24,2011 CHAIRMAN KELL Y: I would like to add that communication is key with code enforcement. Okay. MS. RUIZ: Okay. MR. LEFEBVRE: I make a motion to extend 90 days from today. MR. MARINO: I'll second. CHAIRMAN KELLY : We have a second. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All those in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELL Y: And the motion carries. Just, if you will, reiterate that we did extend; however, it's very important to start immediately on that process working with code enforcement. MR. WALKER: Thank you very much. MS. RUIZ: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Next case under motions, extension of time, is Robert Flick, CESD200100008711. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning, Mr. Flick. Just like in the prior case, since you're requesting the motion, we would just like you to add for the record the reason and circumstances behind the request. MR. FLICK: All right. CHAIRMAN KELLY: So feel free to speak as you'd like. MR. FLAGG: I just got my permit January 11 th from the Building Department. And that -- I guess that extends for six months, Page 8 March 24, 2011 so the time wasn't enough for me to do anything yet. So I need -- I'm doing all the work myself. I need more time to finish. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Flick, in your letter it says that you request 30 days. MR. FLICK: I can do it in 30 days, but I would like more time than that. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Well, how much time would you like, sir? MR. FLAGG: Two months would be good. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Is there any objection from county on the extension? MS. SCAVONE: No, the county has no objection. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Any questions from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: Has the $81.43 court costs been paid? MR. FLAGG: Yeah. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. MR. MARINO: I'll make the motion we give him the 60-days extension. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion. Do we have a second? MR. KAUFMAN: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Second by Mr. Kaufman. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Flick, you have 60 days. MR. FLICK: All right. Do I get something in writing, or how do Page 9 March 24,2011 I -- CHAIRMAN KELLY: You will. There will be an order very much like the first one that you had received. It will probably arrive in about two weeks; however, since you were here today, the time does start from today, and you're in person so that you aware of it, but you will receive something. MR. FLAGG: All right. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, sir. MS. SCAVONE: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Next case, motions, No.3, Taylor, Jeffrey and Tammy Taylor, CESD20090010167. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Taylor, could you move the microphone a little bit so the court reporter can hear you as well. Perfect. Thank you. MR. TAYLOR: You're welcome. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Just like in the previous cases, since you're bringing the motion, if you'd like to just briefly describe the situation. MR. TAYLOR: The engineer just got done with the blueprints yesterday, so I took them down to the county. I know there's a five-day review on them until I get them. So I need a little time to get it all together. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. I don't see a request in writing, so we're not sure -- unless I'm confused, and that happens. Is there a specific time frame that you're looking for? MR. TAYLOR: Ninety days, if that's possible, please. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any objection from county? MR. BALDWIN: No objections. Any questions from -- THE COURT REPORTER: Can I get your name, please. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Oh, sorry, yes. Page 10 March 24, 2011 MR. BALDWIN: Investigator Patrick Baldwin, Collier County Code Enforcement. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I have a question. For some reason I have this listed under imposition of fines. MS. BAKER: And there is a request for extension of time in your packet under imposition of fines. MR. KAUFMAN: I'm a little confused then. If we're at the point where you're doing an imposition of fines and you extend this, you're really rehearing the whole case. MS. BAKER: Well, he's coming to ask you for more time before we do the imposition of fines. We won't do the imposition of fines if you grant the extension. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. CHAIRMAN KELLY: It's a smart way of doing it. MR. MARINO: Have we established if the court costs have been paid? CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good question. Have they been paid? MR. BALDWIN: Yes, they have, sir. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great. Thank you, Patrick. Any other discussion, questions? MR. KAUFMAN: Do you think 90 days will be sufficient time for you to get this all done? MR. TAYLOR: Yes, sir. MR. LEFEBVRE: Is it permit by affidavit; is that what you're doing? MR. TAYLOR: Yes. And I've got all that here. And I've been paying -- everything that they give me, I've been going to the county and paying it. MR. KAUFMAN: This was a conversion of a garage -- MR. TAYLOR: Yes, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: -- to living space. Page 11 March 24, 2011 MR. TAYLOR: Yes, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: So you had a choice of either taking it down or getting the permits for the work that was done? MR. TAYLOR: Yes, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: And you've chosen to get the permit to-- MR. TAYLOR: Take care of the whole situation, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: By demo-ing it or by-- MR. TAYLOR: Oh, no, by fixing it back up, keeping it the way it is -- MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. MR. TAYLOR: -- please. MR. KAUFMAN: Does the county have any problem with extending the 90 days? MR. BALDWIN: No, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: Make a motion we extend 90 days. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and a second. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Just for clarification, that's 90 days from today, correct, Mr. Kaufman? MR. KAUFMAN: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Ninety days from today. All those in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Mr. Taylor, you have 90 days from today. If you run into any snags, please just let us know ahead of Page 12 March 24, 2011 time if you can. MR. T AYLOR: Don't worry. My wife's on top of that. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good deal. All right. The last case under extension of time would be Bruce Blocker. That's Case CESD20100005205. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: If I can, just real quick, for the board, it's slightly unique in this situation where we haven't actually heard this case yet. It was in our regular packet to be heard as a hearing; however, there's a request for extension of time before the case is heard. MR. LEFEBVRE: So should it not -- maybe be withdrawn? CHAIRMAN KELLY: The -- it was a possibility; however, there's, I guess, extenuating circumstances that we're going to hear about, so if you'd like to go ahead. It's just a little odd in our procedures, but, please, go ahead. MR. FLOOD: Peter T. Flood, appearing on behalf ofMr. Blocker. I'll be appearing throughout this. This is -- it involves a piece of property that -- out in Immokalee, and I've met with code enforcement. We had a preliminary meeting which we had a good meeting in regards to this. We're working towards hopefully a resolution. It has to do with some removal in some structures out there that mayor may not have been permitted, and they're from way back in the early's '70s and maybe even the late '60s. So I got involved in this, and we're doing some investigation into this to see what direction, so see if we can come up with an amicable resolution to move on to it. The reason for the 90-day extension, I talked to Mr. Kitchen (sic). Unfortunately next month I'll be gone most of the month, and I'd asked for 90 days. I've been working with Maria, and we've been working hand in hand trying to get this resolved. In one of the buildings, we've got some engineering and some Page 13 March 24, 2011 construction to see what exactly was done, the extent, to get into some of the permitting. So we are working on it. We're not trying to be -- but based on -- it's a long property that -- it's been in existence a long time, and a question on whether permits were pulled and what was there and not there, whatever. I'm sure you've been down this road before. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I'd like to hear what the county has to say. MS. RODRIQUEZ: We have no objection. MR. LEFEBVRE: I just have a comment. This case was initially open on the 28th of April last year. I just find it odd that we're 11 months into this and now they're looking for a 90-day extension. I think that's -- the title work and all that should have been done a long time ago, not right now. I'm a little bit apprehensive of extending it another 90 days. MS. RODRIQUEZ: It took me about four months to research all of the permitting books and stuff that we normally go through, before we even gave them the notice. Then, of course, towards the end of his 45 days or 60 days, he hired Mr. Flood, who then met with me, and we've been working on trying to see what we're going to do with the property . MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. So that's still six months. It just seems that it's being dragged out quite a bit. MR. KAUFMAN: What do you foresee happening in the next 90 days? MR. FLOOD: Well, we've got some title work coming, we're doing some investigation. Maria gave us some photos of the property. This has to do with a property that was built -- some of it was built in 1968 and '69, and we don't know exactly, you know, based on the aerials, what was there. We're conducting some investigation into -- that property was subsequently split, you know, at some time down the road, want to get Page 14 March 24, 2011 the title work on that, check the county records and see what was split on all that, and see if, you know -- there has to do with -- there's really basically three issues. One was an extension of a structure. There's a mobile home on the property, a mobile home. And there's a -- I don't think the laundry's a major issue, and I think there's a duplex in the back, whether it was existing or not back at the time that the -- back in '68, '69, when was it exactly put in, when was -- was there permits pulled and so forth. I mean, I'm not trying to put this off and tell you we're not trying to work on it. We -- I've just been retained here, and I'm working on it, trying to get it to a point where we can resolve it. So I'd just ask for 90 days. Unfortunately, in May my son's graduating, and I'm going to be gone for a time, two weeks. MR. KAUFMAN: That's not unfortunate; that's fortunate. MR. FLAGG: Save me a lot of money. MR. KAUFMAN: I have no problem with the 90 days, if other board members -- CHAIRMAN KELLY: Tony? MR. MARINO: I don't have problem. MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to extend 90 days. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion. Do we have a second? MR. MARINO: I'll second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) Page 15 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it's extended 90 days officially. MR. FLOOD: Thank you very much. MS. BAKER: For the record, Mr. Chair, we will schedule that for the June 23rd CEB hearing. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sounds good. MR. LEFEBVRE: Do you want to make sure that they're noticed now? MS. BAKER: We'll send them notice. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. That concludes all of our motions for an extension of time. Now we move on to public hearings, B, stipulations. The first case is Sanchez, CESD201 00005061. Are the respondents here? MR. W ALKER: Yes, sir. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Investigator, would you like to read the stipulation into the record, please. MR. WALKER: Yes, I will, sir. Therefore, it is agreed between the parties that the respondents shall: Pay operational costs in the amount of $80.86 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days of this hearing. Abate the violation by: Obtaining a Collier County building permit or demolition permit request, required inspection to be performed and passed through a Certificate of Completion within 120 days of this hearing or a fine of $200 a day will be imposed. The respondent must notify code enforcement within 24 hours of abatement of the violation and request the investigator perform a site inspection to confirm compliance. The respondent -- if the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may abate the violation and may use the assistance of Collier County sheriffs to enforce the provision of agreement, and all costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner.n Page 16 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELL Y: How much was the op costs again? MR. WALKER: $80.86. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Thank you. Okay. Good morning. MR. SANCHEZ: Good morning. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do you understand and agree to everything that was just read? MR. SANCHEZ: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Yes. Any questions from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I have a question. What's the zoning there? Does it -- is it compatible with having three mobile homes on the property? MR. WALKER: No, it isn't. It's zoned Residential Multifamily 6. MR. KAUFMAN: So the mobile homes are going to be removed, I assume? MR. WALKER: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: Are the mobile homes occupied at the present time? MR. WALKER: Yes, they are. MR. KAUFMAN: And do you have sufficient time to have the people removed from the mobile homes? I'm seeing "no" over here, "yes" here. MR. SANCHEZ: We tried working with them peoples. I already tell them what the situation is right now, and we have to remove the motor (sic) homes. But in this case, they don't -- there's nowhere to go right now. The peoples, they don't got nowhere to go. So I'm just asking, give me time, you know, for them people, they can -- looking for someplace to go, and we can start to do -- you know, like removing them. MR. KAUFMAN: Do we foresee this as being a problem going down the line if the people won't move out? Page 17 March 24, 2011 MR. WALKER: I don't, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. They can get the assistance of the -- according to the stipulation -- MR. WALKER: Is that correct? MR. KAUFMAN: -- the Collier County sheriff-- MR. WALKER: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: -- to help you. I don't want to put you in a box with this. Okay. The stipulation shows 80.86; those are the court costs. I have no problem. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Any other questions? Entertain a motion. MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept the stipulation as written. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a second? MR. MARINO: I'll second it. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. And it carries. A hundred and twenty days. If you run into any problems, please notify us before the time runs out. MR. SANCHEZ: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great. Thank you. MR. SANCHEZ: Thank you. MR. WALKER: Thank you very much. Page 18 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, sir. Moving to the next stipulated agreement. It's going to be Mainscapes Naples, LLC. And that's CESD20080000034. That's five zeros. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do you want to state your name and read it in, please. MR. BALDWIN: Investigator Patrick Baldwin, Collier County Code Enforcement. Therefore, it is agreed between the parties that the respondent shall: One, pay operational costs in the amount of $82.86 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days of the hearing. Two, abate all violations by: Obtain a Collier County building permit for improvements made within 30 days of this hearing or a fine of $200 a day will be imposed until the permit is issued. Upon receipt of permit, request inspections and obtain Certificate of Completion within 90 days of the day the permit was issued, or a fine of $200 a day will be imposed until the Certificate of Completion is obtained. Three, respondent must notify code enforcement within 24 hours of abatement of the violation and request that the investigator perform a site inspection to confirm compliance. Four, that if the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may abate all violations and may use the assistance of the Collier County Sheriffs Office to enforce the provisions of this agreement. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning. For the record, could you state your name and your relationship to the corporation. MR. CLIFFORD: My name's James Clifford, and I represent the construction company they've hired to handle their situation. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. And ma'am? MS. PARTINGTON: Kristin Partington, an employee of Mainscape. Page 19 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Are either one of you registered agents for the LLC? . MS. PARTINGTON: No. MR. CLIFFORD: No. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Have you been given authority to represent that corporation here today? MS. PARTINGTON: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Is it okay that I get both -- one or both, whoever's going to actually be accepting this agreement, to just state on the record that you've been given the authority to speak on the corporation's behalf. MS. PARTINGTON: Yes, myself, I've been given the authority. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great, thank you. We just went through our rules, so we're fresh on these and trying to do the right thing. Do you understand everything that was read and agreed to in the agreement? MS. PARTINGTON: Yes, we do. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Is there any questions from anyone on the board? MR. KAUFMAN: I have one question. This started in 2008. It's almost three years old. Is there some reason that we should know about to help on -- MR. CLIFFORD: Yes, sir, there is. After the SDP was actually approved and signed off, the violations for the structure, they were actually violations under a residential structure, the modifications. So after I met with Mr. Noonan at the county, it's brought to my attention we have to go in for a change of occupancy, which is ADA compliant, due to the new usage of the building. So that's what I'm going in for permit for, and that will rectify his violations on that structure. MR. BALDWIN: They could not apply for a permit back in Page 20 March 24, 2011 2008 because they were going through a Site Development Plan. And once the Site Development Plan was approved, they could apply for the permits for the modifications that they made to the structure and to the property. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any other questions? MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept the stipulation as written. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a second? MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: The motion carries. Thanks very much, and let us know if you run into any issues where you'll need additional time before you run out of time. MR. BALDWIN: Thank you. MR. CLIFFORD: Thank you. MR. LEFEBVRE: Thanks. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Last case under stipulations is going to be Stan and Nancy Spence, CEV20100006752. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning. MS. SPENCE: Good morning. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Are you Mrs. Spence? MS. SPENCE: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Do you understand -- I apologize. Page 21 March 24, 2011 Let's -- getting ahead of myself. Investigator, you want to state your name and read it in. MR. BALDWIN: Patrick Baldwin, Investigator, Collier County Code Enforcement. Therefore, it's agreed between the parties that the respondent shall: One, pay operational costs in the amount of $80.86 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days of this hearing. Two, abate all violations by: Moving recreational vehicles to the rear of the property, storing in a completely enclosed building or removing recreational vehicles from the mobile home zoned property and remove connected utilities, as vehicles are not to be used for the living, sleeping, or housekeeping purposes, within 10 days of this hearing or a fine of $50 a day will be imposed until the violation is abated. Three, respondent must notify Code Enforcement within 24 hours of abatement of the violation and request the investigator perform a site inspection to confirm compliance. Four, that if the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may abate the violation and may use the assistance of the Collier County Sheriffs Office to enforce the provisions of this agreement, and all costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Jean? MS. RAWSON : Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Since the respondent's here and agreed to the stipulated agreement, are there any issues with the short time frame? MS. RAWSON: That is a very short time frame. I think we probably need to ask her if she can accomplish it by then. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Ms. Spence? MS. SPENCE: I am pressured, because first of all, I just found out about this last week when I got this in the mail. Just recently Page 22 March 24, 2011 moved back into this residence. My husband is in a nursing home. He went a little coocoo. I guess he knew about it, and nothing was said to me. And I've done everything. I've had AAA out there, I've had my brother, all trying to start it. That's the only problem now. I've moved one travel trailer. I've sold it. And the motor home is what I'm hoping. I plan to move it to the other side of the yard, but I can't get it started. So maybe it would be nice to have a little more time than 10 days just to be sure, because I need help to get a new battery. I think I need a new battery. It's, you know -- and it's just a matter of starting it and moving it. I mean, I don't have a problem with abiding by the rules of the code enforcement at all. And I must say, Mr. Baldwin's been very, very kind and considerate and helpful. I just was not aware of the whole situation till I moved back -- I just got back into this residence in end of December. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. And there's nobody going to be living in the mobile home? MS. SPENCE: Oh, nobody ever lived in it. It's just my recreational vehicle. I use it once a year, ifl'm lucky, so -- haven't used it in over a year now because I've been out of the home with my teenage daughter, and I had to go to an apartment to avoid the situation with my estranged husband. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Investigator Baldwin, any objection to changing the stipulated agreement for more time? MR. BALDWIN: No objections, sir. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Just, Mrs. Spence, do you have a time frame that you'd like? It's your stipulated agreement. As long as the county agrees, you can -- MS. SPENCE: Just 30 days, I think, would be fair. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Acceptable for the county? MR. BALDWIN: That's acceptable. She has been trying really hard since becoming aware. Page 23 March 24, 2011 MS. SPENCE: I have all week. I've got a friend in the hospital that's been in ICU for almost two weeks now. I've been running back and forth doing that, and trying to take care of this effortlessly (sic), but -- MR. LEFEBVRE: I make a motion to extend it to 30 days from today. MS. SPENCE: Okay. Thank you. MR. KAUFMAN: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and second. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any so you do have 30 days. And let us know if you run into additional problems prior to the 30 days. MS. SPENCE: Okay. CHAIRMAN KELLY: And speaking on behalf of the board, we're really sorry about everything that you're going through. MS. SPENCE: Thank you. I appreciate that. MR. BALDWIN: Thank you. MS. SPENCE: Where do I pay the 86? CHAIRMAN KELLY: The investigator will help you with that, and unfortunately we have no control over it. That's something that's imposed by the county. MS. SPENCE: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. That clears all of our motions and stipulation. Page 24 March 24, 2011 Now we're moving on to C, hearing. Moves us all the way to Case No.7, B Q Concrete, LLC, CELU20100021891. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) MS. BAKER: This is in reference to violation of Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Section 1.04.01 (A) and Section 2.02.03. Description of violation: Accessory structure on the property without a principal structure on the same lot. Location/address where violation exists: 4790 Pine Ridge Road, Naples, Florida, 34119, Folio 37925940001. Name and address of owner/person in charge of violation location: B Q Concrete, LLC, 6017 Pine Ridge Road, No. 329, Naples, Florida, 34119. Date violation first observed: December 14,2010. Date owner/person in charge given Notice of Violation: January 7,2011. Date on/by which violation to be corrected: February 7, 2011. Date of reinspect ion: February 8, 2011. Results of reinspection: The violation remains. I'd like to now turn it over to Investigator Mucha. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Investigator Mucha, one second, real quick. Since we're dealing with a corporation, sir, can I have you state your name for the record and your relationship to the LLC. MR. QUARLES: Yes. I'm Buddy Quarles. I'm the president of the LLC. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, sir. MR. QUARLES: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: This is a little different than the ones you've seen prior. The county is going to go ahead and present the case, and then afterwards you'll have the chance to speak freely and also submit any testimony or evidence that you'd like. Page 25 March 24, 2011 MR. QUARLES: Thank you. MR. MUCHA: All right. Good morning. For the record, Joe Mucha, Property-Maintenance Specialist, Collier County Code Enforcement. This is in reference to Case No. CELU20 1 00021891 dealing with violation of the Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Sections 1.04.01(A) and 2.02.03, described as an accessory structure on the property without a principal structure on the same lot. Violation location is 4790 Pine Ridge Road, Naples, 34119. Folio number is 37925940001. Personal service was given on January 7, 2011. I have a couple numbers I'd like to submit into evidence. And I've shared these with Mr. Quarles this morning. MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and second. All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay, go ahead. MR. MUCHA: The first is just an aerial taken off the property appraiser's, just to give you an idea of the property. And there's the garage that's on there. And this next document is actually clarification from staff in regards to accessory structures, and it basically states that an accessory structure, by definition, requires a principal structure on the same lot to which it is an accessory use. And it goes on to -- which is kind of -- match what's going on here. Page 26 March 24,2011 Actually, if I could just -- okay. In all zoning districts, therefore, an accessory structure may be constructed on a lot adjacent to the lot on which the principal structure is located when the lots are under common ownership. And this is what happened at the time when this garage was built. This requires the submittal of a signed affidavit stating that the accessory structure will be removed if the lots are ever separated and/or sold individually. This affidavit must be recorded in the public records, and a copy of the affidavit must be submitted along with the application for the building permit for the accessory structure, and I do have that such affidavit. And this was filed back in 1996, and it basically states that I shall not sell Lot 1 without the simultaneous issuance of the building permit for the structure to be built on Lot 1. So fast-forward to October 2010, Mr. Quarles purchased the lot, and none of this information was made available to him. He was under the impression that he had, according to him, two years to build a primary structure on the lot. And that's basically where we're at. I mean, I've had a lot of talks with him, and he just needs time, and it's something that I couldn't grant him. And I figured we'd come to the Code Enforcement Board. You guys have the authority to grant him the time that he needs, and that's where it's at basically. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Are there any questions for county from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: No. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Mr. Quarles, feel free to speak plainly and let us know what you think. MR. QUARLES: Yeah. About the house, I mean, about the property about -- when he said it. I want to build a house on it. I'm having a little bit of issues. I'm getting divorced. Kind of held me Page 27 March 24, 2011 back a little bit. I'm going to build a house on it. I need about six months to do it. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Okay. MR. KAUFMAN: Have you gotten any of the preliminary, getting a contractor, building permit? MR. QUARLES: I'm a builder. I'm a GC myself. I'm going to do it myself. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. MR. QUARLES: I have some plans I'm looking for and different things, engineering. It takes -- you know, it takes a little bit of time to get all that. MR. KAUFMAN: Do you think six months is a realistic time frame? MR. QUARLES: It'd be real close. MR. MARINO: That's what I was going to ask. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Go ahead. MR. MARINO: I was going to ask the same question. Does he think the six months is going to be enough time? MR. QUARLES: I mean, I would like more time. MR. MORINO: Are you looking for six months till completion of the whole project, the building of the home? MR. QUARLES: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Well, the first thing we need to do is determine whether or not a violation exists. MR. KAUFMAN: I make a motion a violation does exist. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. Page 28 March 24, 2011 MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Go ahead, sir. MR. QUARLES: This affidavit, when I bought the property, I never seen this until today. He just gave this to me. Never, never seen it. And he's been real good, working with me real good, he has, Joe has, calling me back. But I just wanted to let you know, I didn't know anything about this. CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'm not a legal expert, but it sounds like you may have some recourse. MR. QUARLES: Yeah, sure. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sorry that you're stuck with this. Believe me, you're not alone. We've seen -- almost on a monthly basis we see people in your same position, and unfortunately in this county, all of those violations go with the property, whoever owns them at that time. MR. QUARLES: Right. So-- CHAIRMAN KELL Y: I think you've already sensed some compassion amongst the board. We'll try to carve out an agreement to where -- that will give you the time that you need to come into compliance without any additional headaches. MR. QUARLES: Great. I appreciate that. Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Joe, do you have a recommendation from the county? MR. MUCHA: Yes, sir. My recommendation is that the Code Enforcement Board orders the respondent to pay all operational costs in the amount of $79.72 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days and abate all violations by: Obtaining all required permits, inspections, and certificates of completion/occupancy to build a principal structure on a property or demolish the accessory structure on the property within blank days or a fine of blank for each day the Page 29 March 24, 2011 violation continues. The respondent must notify the code enforcement investigator when the violation has been abated in order to conduct a final inspection to confirm abatement. If the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may abate the violation and may use the assistance of the Collier County Sheriffs Office to enforce the provisions of this order, and all costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner. MR. KAUFMAN: I have a question or two or three. Number one, is that -- is it a garage that's on the back of the property? MR. QUARLES: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: And it is being used as a garage at this time? MR. QUARLES: Nobody's using it. MR. KAUFMAN: Nobody's using it. MR. QUARLES: No. MR. KAUFMAN: It says, no traffic going back and forth. MR. QUARLES: No. Once in a while I go on a Sunday with my child, you know -- I have a little boy -- and I ride the four-wheeler on the property. That's it. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. I don't know ifl should ask this, but how did this come about? Is this an anonymous complaint? MR. MUCHA: This was actually an anonymous complaint. And I think what happened was, that he was out at the property cleaning it up a little bit from -- because the previous owner, I guess, had left a lot of stuff, and he was over there cleaning. And I think he had some guys from his company there helping him, and they called in and said, well, this guy's working out of this garage and is not supposed to be doing this, and that's kind of how it came onto our radar. MR. KAUFMAN: I have no concern in extending the necessary time to apply for a building permit. And my only concern would be that probably a neighbor someplace is the one that was concerned Page 30 March 24, 2011 about what was going on there -- MR. QUARLES: Yes, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: -- since it was an unpermitted occasion. Six months in Collier County seems like an awful short term to get everything done. But as long as it's in the works, I don't know -- how long do you think that would take you to approve your plans and start the ball rolling? MR. QUARLES: I'm thinking about two months. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Gerald? MR. LEFEBVRE: I have a question. Does the structure, primary structure, have to be CO'ed for this structure to be allowed, or does it just -- is it necessary just to have a permit pulled for a primary structure? MR. QUARLES: Yes. Just a permit for the primary structure. I went to planning and talked to them about that. That building was CO'ed and everything. MR. LEFEBVRE: No, no, no. What I'm trying to ask is, that structure right now is not allowed. When does it become allowed; at the time that you apply for a permit for the primary structure, which would be your house, or upon CO ofthat structure? That's my question. MR. QUARLES: I don't know that. MR. MUCHA: Yes, sir. The house would have to be CO'ed for him to be able to -- for that garage to be legal. MR. LEFEBVRE: All right. The wording of this recommendation is -- the first -- No.1, obtain all required permits, inspections, certificates of completion/occupancy to build. To build. I mean, if you have a CO, it's not to build. It's -- the "build" part is probably not correct. It probably should read something that -- must obtain a certificate of occupancy or completion for primary structure on the property. Because it's not -- getting a permit or inspections won't make it legal this -- Page 3 1 March 24, 2011 MR. MUCHA: I understand. MR. LEFEBVRE: So I think rewording of that. I'm in the feeling that we should give him -- considering that, you know, he's going to build it himself, that 360 days would be appropriate, with -- with the -- knowing that you can't use that structure for -- it has to remain vacant. MR. QUARLES: Right. MR. LEFEBVRE: You know, you own a business. I'm not sure where you're running that business out of, and we don't want to see the business being running -- run out of this garage. But I would want to reword that where it would say, "must obtain certificate of completion/occupancy of a primary structure on the property or demolish the accessory structure on the property within 360 days, or a fine of $150 for each day the violation continues." CHAIRMAN KELLY: Jean, did you get that? MS. RAWSON: I think I did. MR. LEFEBVRE: Jean, does that make -- is it a little clearer that way? Do you see -- MR. KAUFMAN: Could I modify? Along with what Mr. Lefebvre's saying, I'd like to have two time frames in there. You said that you thought you could get the ball rolling within 60 days. So I'd like to add 90 days -- instead of 60 n 90 days to get the balling rolling, and then the 360 days to complete the effort. MR. QUARLES: Yes, sir. And that's -- just getting CO, 360 days to have the CO finaled? MR. LEFEBVRE: Right. And I think what Mr. Kaufman is trying to say is, you must receive the permit within 90 days. MR. KAUFMAN: Ninety days. MR. QUARLES: Okay. That's perfect. I'll take that. MR. LEFEBVRE: But you have to receive the permit, but everything has to be CO'ed within 360 days. So it wouldn't be 90 days and then another 360 days beyond that. Do you follow what I'm Page 32 March 24,2011 saying? MR. QUARLES: Yeah, perfect. Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: However, we've got to be careful with the double jeopardy thing. How would he want to word that as far as the time frames for fines and whatnot? MR. LEFEBVRE: I mean, I think -- CHAIRMAN KELLY: Let's say a year and a half goes by and nothing was done, does he get fined on both the permit and not having the structure CO'ed? MR. KAUFMAN: It's how you slice the baby. If it's $150 a day after one year, how much is it after 90 days? In other words, starting today you have 90 days. Everything is -- there are no fines. After 90 days, let's say you get the permit 95 days, what would the jeopardy be in those five days that you went over? And in all likelihood, as long as good faith is going on, I'm sure that you could come back to the board to have that taken care of, the extension of time there. I think going with the 150 that you had for 360 days would work, and maybe they could -- this could be brought back to us in 90 days to see what's going on. MR. LEFEBVRE: So what you're asking for is 90 days for the permit to be pulled or $150 fine? MR. KAUFMAN: Yes. MR. LEFEBVRE: And then 360 days from today to complete, or another $150. MR. QUARLES: Yes, sir. That's fair. MR. LEFEBVRE: Is that what you're -- Mr. Kaufman? MR. KAUFMAN: Yes. CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'd like to address both issues. One, Gerald, was yours. You were talking about making sure that a certificate of occupancy was definitely part of it. In other words, you can't just go pull a permit, not do anything, just keep extending the permit, and comply. But in the first line of county's recommendation, Page 33 March 24, 2011 it does say, "and certificates of completion/occupancy." So I think it's not just the permits to build. They also have to have the CO in order to comply with this order. And I think that -- I think it covers what your concern is. We can maybe ask Jean just to make sure, but -- MS. RAMSEY: When do you want the CO? Not 90 days, right? MR. LEFEBVRE: Within 360 days. MS. RAWSON: Three hundred sixty days. So it's 90 days to build -- to pull the permits to build, or 150. MR. LEFEBVRE: Right. MS. RAWSON: And then 360 days to get the CO, or 150. MR. LEFEBVRE: Right. MS. RAMSEY: Is there ever any time-- MR. LEFEBVRE: Or demolish. MS. RAWSON: I was going to ask you about that. MR. LEFEBVRE: Or demolish the building. MS. RAWSON: Does he demolish within 90 or 360? MR. LEFEBVRE: Within 360. MR. QUARLES: I'll build. MR. LEFEBVRE: I think I've complicated this. CHAIRMAN KELLY: I think my point is, I think the county's recommendation is -- actually gives everyone perfect clarity, and the reason why I also say is because the respondent is obviously very willing to work with us in any way. He's eager to get this done. I think by requiring the permit in 90 days when he knows that he could get a permit, build a home, and get it CO'ed in six months, I think that might be putting just a little bit too much pressure on the front end. I suggest, let's just give him 360 days to do everything and, you know, keep it simple. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay with me. MR. LEFEBVRE: I haven't made a motion, formal motion, I guess. Page 34 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. LEFEBVRE: But I guess we'll scrap everything we talked about and make -- 360 days to get a CO, and if you do not have a CO, you will have to demolish the accessory structure and you will be -- there will be a fine of $150 per day. MR. QUARLES: Okay. MR. LEFEBVRE: All right. MR. QUARLES: That's good. Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a second? That's a motion, I MR. LEFEBVRE: That's a motion. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Okay. Do we have a second? MR. KAUFMAN: I'll second. MR. MARINO: Sure. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any further discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All those in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. You've got almost a year to get it taken care of, whether you're going to demo or build a new structure. MR. QUARLES: I'll build definitely. I'll just let you know, Joe's been a very good help. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Terrific. MR. QUARLES: He's a great guy to work with. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you. I appreciate that. MR. QUARLES: Thank you. Page 35 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thanks for your help. Okay. Next? I believe we go all the way down to what is the emergency case, No. 11, is that correct, on the agenda? MS. WALDRON: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN KELLY: And we don't have any paperwork, so I'll leave it to you to read it in. MS. BAKER: This is in reference to Case CEPM20110003398, Melissa K. and Joseph L. Barrs, violation of Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, Chapter 22, Article VI, Section 26-231, Subsection 2. Description of violation: Occupied structure that had water disconnected by City of Naples Utilities due to nonpayment of bill. Location/address where violation exists: 3815 Estey Avenue, Naples, Florida, 34104. Folio 26580720004. Name and address of owner/person in charge of violation location: Melissa K. and Joseph L. Barrs, 3815 Estey Avenue, Naples, Florida, 34104. Date violation first observed: March 21, 2011. Date owner/person in charge given Notice of Violation: March 23,2011. Date on/by which violation to be corrected: Immediately. Date of reinspect ion: March 23,2011. Results of reinspection: The violation remains. I would like to now turn the case over to Investigator Mucha. MR. MUCHA: Good morning, again. For the record, Joe Mucha, Property-Maintenance Specialist, Collier County Code Enforcement. This is in reference to Case No. CEPM20110003398 dealing with violation Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, Chapter 22, Article VI, Section 22-231, Subsection 2, described as an occupied property with the water disconnected by City of Naples Utilities. Violation/location is 3815 Estey Avenue, Naples, 34104. Folio Page 36 March 24, 2011 No. is 26580720004. Service was given by posting of the property and the courthouse on March 23,2011. This case initiated back on March 16th. We had received a complaint from another department of the county that was at the property making a repair to the sewer cleanout that the water was shut off and that the structure was occupied. That date I made a site visit to the property and met with the occupant, Shannon. And she confirmed that the water is currently shut off. And she stated that they were going down to pay the bill that day. Before I left work for that day, I contacted City of Naples Utilities, and as of3:30 no one had been down to pay the bill. And I'd actually went on vacation, so my supervisor the following day contacted the occupant, and she stated that the water was turned back on. And he followed up with City of Naples Utilities, and they advised that they had no record of the bill being paid and that the meter should be locked. So when I came back on March 21 st, I had contacted City of Naples Utilities, and they had sent somebody out to disconnect the water, and that they were actually going to remove the meter. I guess the occupants of the home had been reconnecting the water themselves in some fashion. And I spoke to the occupant, and she stated that her boyfriend's parents own the house. And researched and found out that the house is in foreclosure, so I think they're basically kind of squatting there. The water bill is over $1,000 and has not been paid since May of 2010. So I made another site visit on March 22nd. I met with the residents again. They couldn't give me any contact information for the owners, saying they don't have a phone. One lives out of state and one lives in Golden Gate somewhere. They couldn't give me no information on that. Page 37 March 24, 2011 She said that she was going to go down and try to have the water put in her name. And I told her that, you know, you're still going to be responsible for this bill before you, you know, are able to switch it over to your name. And at that point I just told them I was going to be taking it to court, so -- and they have not made any efforts, and the water meter has actually been removed by the City of Naples. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. KAUFMAN: Do you have a suggestion? CHAIRMAN KELLY: Wait. Let's get a violation first. MR. KAUFMAN: Make a-- MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a motion that there's a violation. MR. KAUFMAN: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. KAUFMAN: Now do you have a suggestion on this? MR. MUCHA: Yes, sir. The Code Enforcement Board orders the respondent to pay all operational costs in the amount of $80.29 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days and to abate all violations by: Restoring the water to the property with an active and valid account with City of Naples Utilities or vacating the premises until such time that the water is restored to the property with an active and valid account with the City of Naples Utilities within blank days of this hearing or a fine of blank for each day the violation conditions. Page 38 March 24, 2011 Respondent must notify the code enforcement investigator when the violation has been abated in order to conduct a final inspection to confirm abatement. If the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may abate the violation and use the assistance of the Collier County Sheriffs Office to enforce the provisions of this order, and all costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Any questions from the board? MR. LEFEBVRE: Have you had any -- you haven't had any contact with the owners of this property, correct? MR. MUCHA: No, sir. I've only spoken to the -- a guy that identified himself as the son of the owner, and he's basically stated that he doesn't have a contact number for his father. So I don't know. I'm just taking his word for it, but -- MR. LEFEBVRE: You don't even know who these people are? MR. MUCHA: Technically not. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Jen, can you move that up a little bit so I can see the bottom part of it. Okay. There's nothing more than two. Okay, thanks. MR. LEFEBVRE: Now, what kind of assistance can the Sheriffs Department offer? MR. MUCHA: They might be able to help us get them removed. I mean, I've had situations before where there's been utilities shut off and people were kind of squatting. And sometimes -- I don't know if they can -- legally can, but sometimes they show up and, you know -- MR. LEFEBVRE: The people just disappear? MR. MUCHA: Sometimes they'll decide, you know, it's best not to get -- you know, get the county out here and the sheriffs. You know, they don't want to draw attention to themselves sometimes, so -- I don't know if they can legally have them removed, but I mean -- MR. LEFEBVRE: Because the only address you have right now for them is Estey? Page 39 March 24, 2011 MR. MUCHA: The same -- the same address, sir. MR. LEFEBVRE: Have you done any research to see -- to check that name to see if they own any other property in the county? MR. MUCHA: No, they don't own any other property in the county. The only thing I can find is that the property is in foreclosure, Bank of New York, and I've spoken to the foreclosure investigator. But basically he told me that if it's occupied, the bank's not going to be able to do anything about it. MR. LEFEBVRE: Would they release any information on addresses or anything to you? MR. MUCHA: I could check with them. MR. LEFEBVRE: I'm just saying, you know, if you can find out if these people even belong there. MR. MUCHA: Right. MR. LEFEBVRE: I mean, I know it's not our case really, but-- let me get back to this then, to the violation and recommendation. I mean, it's going to be hard to notice the owners because we don't have a good address. MR. MUCHA: Correct. MR. LEFEBVRE: So, I mean, the shorter time period, it doesn't really matter. Jean, I have a question for you. MS. RAWSON: Yes. MR. LEFEBVRE: Kind of a quandary here, giving extra time so he can maybe find a good address versus people living there. You know, I want to give ample notice to these people. With all the -- with the circumstances of it being in foreclosure and so forth, they probably know the situation. Is there anything, liability, for giving like 15 days and giving the investigator time to find a good address for proper notice? MS. RAWSON: Well, that's up to you, and you're giving the squatters 15 more days. Page 40 March 24, 2011 MR. MUCHA: Right. MS. RAMSEY: But they have no water, right? MR. MUCHA: Yes, ma'am. MS. RAWSON: Okay. MS. BAKER: And just as a reminder, we are only bound by what's on the tax collector's page. MR. LEFEBVRE: Right, right. MS. BAKER: That's what we're bound by state statute. CHAIRMAN KELLY: So in other words, you are able to get good service even though -- MS. BAKER: Right, right. MS. RAWSON: Sure. He's the owner of record. They are the owner of record of this property. MR. LEFEBVRE: All right. With that being said, I'm going to go with seven days of this hearing or a fine of -- what's the maximum we can -- MR. KAUFMAN: A thousand a day. MR. LEFEBVRE: A thousand? I would go with $500 a day. MR. KAUFMAN: And I'll second that. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELL Y: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All right. And it carries. Seven days, $500 per day. MR. MUCHA: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thanks, Investigator. Page 41 March 24, 2011 All right. Moving on to old business, A, motion for imposition of fine and liens. Number 1, Sara Barrera, CESD20080005775. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Supervisor, would you like to read it in? MR. SNOW: Yes, sir.

The Code Enforcement Board issued a finding of fact and conclusion of law and order. The respondent was found in violation of the referenced ordinance and ordered to correct the violation. See the attached order of the board, OR4434, Page 1368, for more information. An extension of time was granted on June 25, 2009. See the attached order of the board, OR4470, Page 2691, for more information. Additional -- an additional extension of time was granted from February 25, 2010.

The fines and costs to date are described as the following: Order Item No.3, I and 3, fines at the rate of $200 per day for the period of February 26, 2011, and March 3,2011,6 days, for a total of$I,200. Item No.7, operational costs of $86.71 have been paid. Total amount to date is $1,200. And for the record, this was Maria Rodriguez's case, and I'm very Page 42 March 24, 2011 familiar with it. This was the case where they had to go before the Board of County Commissioners to get an extension of time to grant them what they wanted to do. They ran up to the date to call -- the last day to call their inspections in. The gentleman who was supposed to come inspect was on vacation because it was exotic. So they got it done as soon as they could. I believe they worked very diligently. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Great. Thank you. Any comments from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to abate. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELL Y: All those in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?

He is employed fully now. Pulled his permits in January. Hired somebody to help him. She did her part, he did his part and, unfortunately, there was a huge miscommunication at the end. I got involved on Monday, called everybody. And it turns out that everything was finished, but they didn't communicate with each other. Got the CO the next day, and now we're here. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Any questions from the board? MR. KAUFMAN: County, you've been involved in this case. Is there any -- MR. PAUL: Correct. MR. KAUFMAN: -- anything else we should know? MR.

MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. Just-- Page 50 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: So is it the 11th or the 8th? MR. KAUFMAN: Our papers say the 8th. That's why he's asking the question, December 19th through February 8th. MS. BAKER: Oh. You have an updated copy in your packet. MR. LEFEBVRE: Oh, okay. MS. BAKER: I think that's what the misunderstanding is. It's February 11th, 55 days. MR. KAUFMAN: I'd like to make a motion to impose the fine. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?

KAUFMAN: I have one question. On No.6, that 742, is that to seal the top of the pool; is that why they -- the fines don't continue to accrue? MR. MUSSE: Yes, sir. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. I make a motion to impose. MR. LEFEBVRE: Second. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: And the motion carries. MR. MUSSE: Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, Investigator.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Investigator, would you like to state your name and read the order into the record, please. MR. ASARO: Sure. Tony Asaro, Collier County Code Enforcement. This is in reference to Case No. CESD20090010558, Board of County Commissioners versus Silvano Delgado and Jorge Chavez, respondents, violation of Collier County Code of Laws, Chapter 22, Article II, Florida Building Code, Section 22-26(b), 104.5.1.4.4.

May I have you state your names for the record, please. MR. DELGADO: Oh, yes. Page 53 March 24, 201 ] CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Are you interpreting for Silvano? MR. DELGADO: Yeah, I no listen too good. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Do you want to -- just in case, we'll swear him in anyways. (The interpreter was duly sworn to translate from English to Spanish and Spanish to English, and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: If you would like to make a statement and describe what's going on, we can -- THE INTERPRETER: Let me tell you something. Him speak English. The problem, him no hear too much. That why I need to be here for him, for him to speak English. MR. DELGADO: All right. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. If! can, let me explain the situation from our standpoint. It's kind of a rule that we don't stop the fines once they're presented to us if the violation still exists. So ifhe's going to offer testimony, we will -- we'll hear it, but we don't necessarily want to rehear the entire case. If you'd like to -- MR. DELGADO: Yeah. You know my problem. This property -- I lost all my property in two oh seven, okay. I'm going to pay here -- they lost the property in 2008 at the courthouse. I lost the property. After two years, having a problem for the code enforcement, the Bank of America come back the property. No, no, no. This is your problem. I don't want a problem for Collier County. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Hang on one second. You okay? MR. DELGADO: Yeah. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Sorry. MR. DELGADO: All right. They said -- the bank, I call all the time. No, no, no, no. I don't want a problem. You know a lawyer? You no talk to me. This is your problem. I come back to property. I don't have any money for pay. When you do have any money, you pay. No is my problem. I clean my hand. I tell them, I having a problem for Collier County. Page 54 March 24, 2011 But, you know, they would come buy the property, be for free, after checking the paper. No, you need pay $111,000. I don't have any money. I am in foreclosure. All my property, I lost everything. I lost my business. I lost all. No more talk for you. Only for lawyer or Collier County. No you. That's it. CHAIRMANKELLY: Okay. MR. DELGADO: And before going here, maybe 90 days, I call the bank. After -- no more questions for you. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. KAUFMAN: I remember this case. MR. DELGADO: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: That you partially built a house and you ran out of money or whatever, and the bank was foreclosing on the house. MR. DELGADO: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: They stopped and said they didn't want the house. They wanted to give it back to you; is that correct? MR. DELGADO: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: So they were giving you the house with, what I understand -- and, Jean, correct me, because I remember I asked you this question -- with no debt. They were just giving it back to you. MS. RAWSON: I don't think it was with no debt. CHAIRMAN KELLY: It was an assumption on our part. But what they did it they stopped foreclosure proceedings without actually completing the foreclosure so that the property remains in his name. MR. KAUFMAN: Because I remember asking the question, if they're giving you the house back and they're stopping their foreclosure, does that mean that the property is now yours and you have no mortgage on it? MR. DELGADO: Yeah, having any -- no, I no pay nothing. MR. KAUFMAN: So they still want you to pay the mortgage; is that what I'm understanding? Page 55 March 24, 201 ] THE INTERPRETER: Yes. The bank say him -- when him have any money, just call and start making payments. You know, it's not staying in foreclosure or the bank say, that one is not the problem for the bank. When -- you take time, you take all the time you need. When you have money, you just call me and start making payments for the house. But that one is not my problem. You need to resolve the problem with Collier County. It's all they say, the bank. MR. KAUFMAN: So it sounds like they were doing a loan modification. THE INTERPRETER: No, it's not giving nothing, any paper, no say nothing. Just say, you take the time, when you have the money, for him have any social security benefits, for him having 70 -- 67 years old, and him talk to -- about that one. It's not too much money, you know, for -- everything, for him lost the whole business. And the bank says, this is not my problem. This is your house. You take your house. I don't need it. I don't want it. MS. BAKER: I have some information that might be helpful to you. I have the notice of voluntary dismissal from the bank, if you want to see it. Usually the notice of dismissal just dismisses the foreclosure. It goes back to the same status that it was prior to them starting the foreclosure process. MR. KAUFMAN: And if we impose the fine, the fine is -- since the bank is not taking this over, the bank (sic) would go against the owner of record. MS. BAKER: The lien would go against the owner of record, yes. MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. So that the amount of money that you would owe on the property would be whatever mortgage you had plus whatever this lien is. THE INTERPRETER: Yes. MR. KAUFMAN: It doesn't sound like this is going to be paid off either way. Page 56 March 24, 2011 MR. LEFEBVRE: Does our motion say that we -- that the county can go in and abate this? That would be an option, correct? Okay. If it's in there, then-- MS. BAKER: Yeah, we can. MR. LEFEBVRE: -- maybe that's an option the county should take, and then place the lien against the property. And a lien that the county places against the property supersedes the mortgage, correct? So that would be the option. I make a motion to impose the fines. MR. KAUFMAN: I second it. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELL Y: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion carries. What we've done is we've imposed the fines. That moves this along in the process. There's really not much we can do until they're abated as far as reducing or stopping any fines. So we'll now leave it up to the county to decide what to do. MR. DELGADO: Okay. Other question. I am in foreclosure now. I'm bankrupt. Maybe finished two, three months. Okay? CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. That's fine. You continue with your proceedings as necessary, and the county will, I'm sure, take that into consideration. THE INTERPRETER: Thank you so much. MR. DELGADO: Thank you for your time. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you. Page 57 March 24, 2011 That concludes all of our imposition of fines. Now moving on to No.6, new business. Item 1, elections. It's a yearly event for us. We pick a chairman and a vice-chairman. MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a nomination. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. MR. LEFEBVRE: To nominate Ken Kelly as chair again. MR. MARINO: Second that. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Motion and a second. All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Thank you. MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a motion to nominate Mr. Kaufman as vice-chair. MR. MARINO: I'll second that. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded. Any discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELL Y: All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: And things will remain status quo. MR. LEFEBVRE: Yes, they will. Page 58 March 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you. Congratulations, Mr. Kaufman. MR. KAUFMAN: Congratulations, Mr. President (sic). CHAIRMAN KELLY: There was nothing on our consent agenda, so how about reports? MS. FLAGG: Good morning. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning. MS. FLAGG: As of March 20th the banks have expended $2,058,000 in Collier County to abate code violations, and they've abated 1,657 violations. It continues to average that the banks are spending about $18,000 per week in Collier County to abate code violations. As of the week of March 7th -- and we monitor performance statistics for the department every week. In the week ending March 7th, there were 239 new code cases open that -- just that week. There were 654 property inspections completed in that week. There were 138 cases closed with voluntary compliance. There were 142 payoff requests. A payoff request is when somebody is purchasing a property and/or paying off -- they make a request to the department. There were 122 lien search requests. And, again, that's that program that we worked in coordination with Naples Area Board of Realtors to encourage folks to get code property inspections and lien searches on the property. You had a case today where there was something that was not known by the buyer and, therefore, he bought the problem. Just in this week, this -- there were 11 lien searches completed that actually had code cases on it. So had they not done the lien search, they would have bought -- there would have been 11 properties that would have bought code issues on them. There were 81 garage sale/rec vehicle permits issued in the week. And the investigators this week are carrying 48 cases -- an average of 48 cases per investigator. Page 59 March 24, 2011 Just a reminder that on the code enforcement website, which is WWW.Colliergov.net/code will take you right to the front page of the website. We have our brochure on the website that's titled "Thinking of buying a home or foreclosed property," and if you click on that, folks can bring up that full brochure and explain why it's so important to do a lien search and a property inspection before they buy a home, because in the State of Florida, the statutes require that if you buy a home with code issues on it, you also buy the code issues. So we encourage people to do their research before they buy the home so that they know exactly what they're getting into. Thank you. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Thank you. I'd also like to comment that today we heard two respondents specifically mention how wonderful the investigators were to work with. And I've been on the board now for about five years -- Gerald longer than I have -- and I don't remember ever hearing that before today. So, congratulations. That really goes to show just what a terrific job you're doing in turning things around in the community as far as the Code Enforcement Department. MS. RAWSON: I would like to reiterate that, because I've been around either on the board or sitting in this chair for 15 years, and I don't believe anybody's ever said anything nice about the code enforcement. I loved it. Good for you, Diane. MS. FLAGG: Thank you. It's a great team. It really is. CHAIRMAN KELLY: That is incredible. And with your work with the community Neighborhood Task Force and, you know, getting involved in really helping to prevent blight, there should be far more compliments than what you're receiving, because you're really helping the community maintain its prestige. MS. FLAGG: Well, on behalf of the department, thank you very much. CHAIRMAN KELLY: You're welcome. Page 60 March 24,2011 Are there any other comments? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Our next meeting date is April 28, 2011. And with that, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. MR. MORINO: I'll make a motion we adjourn. MR. KAUFMAN: Second. CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Seconded. All in favor? MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye. MR. KAUFMAN: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye. MR. MARINO: Aye. CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. We'll see you next month. ***** There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by order of the Chair at 11 :38 a.m. CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD --------, --- ~ KE~~hairman These minutes approved by the Board on or as corrected , as presented Page 61
