observe Robert's Rules of Order and speak one at a time so the court
reporter can record all statements being made.

need a record of the proceedings pertaining thereto and therefore may
need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made,

Case No.1 is going to be Kenneth J. Blocker
CESD20100006112.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning.
MR. FREEMAN: Good morning.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Typically, since you would be the one
requesting the extension of time, if you can just tell us in plain
language what's going on, what's the reason behind the request, and
what we can do to help.
MR. FREEMAN: Okay. We finally got the plans submitted and
the SIP submitted to the county, and --
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sorry. I forgot to ask you to state your
name for the record.
MR. FREEMAN: Okay. My name is Ernest Freeman, Freeman
and Freeman Construction. I'm representing Mr. Blocker. I have an
authorization document to represent Mr. Blocker. Who do I need to
give it to?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Excellent. If you -- Jen will take it, and
we'll just add it to the permanent record. Is that a copy?
MR. FREEMAN: Yes.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay, good, because it will become part
of the record.
MR. FREEMAN: Okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'm sorry. Please continue.
MR. FREEMAN: Not a problem.
Like I was saying, we've got all the documents and everything
into the county, and we just need an extension of time. We're going to
request 120, if that will be okay, just so the county -- I got enough
time between getting the permit approved and the SIP as well.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Excellent. Is there any objection from
the county?
MR. SNOW: We have no objection of any time that would
Page 5
May 26, 2011
extend to this respondent.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions from the Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: On the letter, it says that the county won't
accept the drawings -- well; actually it says "want except the
drawings." That's probably a typo.
MR. FREEMAN: Yeah. My typing isn't that good sometimes.
MR. KAUFMAN: You type with your thumbs? Is that still the
case or -- ?
MR. FREEMAN: No. Everything has been submitted. We have
the SIP. And some issues just came up with the SIP. The engineer
had coordinated some things with the fire department and different
things to get this SIP approved that I had no knowledge of because I --
you know, of course, I don't do SIPs. And it was one of those things
that -- she had to gather all the information.
And I'm pretty sure you guys are aware that our fire department
is having some problems in Immokalee as well. So there's some
things about getting that together, but we've gotten it all submitted.
And Mike Levy over there with the county has already submitted
-- I have a copy of that documentation if you'd like.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Does anyone want to enter that or see it?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: No need.
MR. FREEMAN: Okay.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a motion to extend 120 days.
MR. KAUFMAN: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and a second.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
Page 6

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
MR. MARINO: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries unanimously.
Very good. Thanks for coming.
MR. FREEMAN: Thank you.
MR. SNOW: We thank the board.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you.
Okay; moving on to the next case. Motion for extension of time.
Number 2, Richard Mercer, Jeffrey and Amy Mercer. I hope I said
your last name right.
MR. MERCER: Mercer.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mercer. I apologize.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All right. Again, since you're the one
that's requesting the extension, if you can tell us what we can do to
help or what's going on.
MR. MERCER: My name is Richard Mercer. We're requesting
30 days extension for a building permit by affidavit and CO by
affidavi t.
We were previously granted another extension for time to do the
construction, which the construction is finished. All the
improvements are done. They've been certified by our engineer, the
inspections have been certified, and the CO affidavit is all prepared.
We have all those documents prepared. Two weeks ago we
attempted to submit them to the Building Department for final
approval of the CO. It was rejected because there was a fairly large
amount of fees that they were requiring to be paid which didn't seem
right.
Page 7
May 26, 2011
So it took us a while to get to the bottom of why they were
requesting inspection fees, and finally yesterday we got word that that
was an error, that we did not have to pay those inspection fees.
So it's -- the plans are ready to go back in for the final CO.
We've got the affidavits all prepared. It takes five days, I'm told, for
them to go through that permit process.
I'm just asking for 30 days in case there's a hiccup in that process.
But we're ready to go. Construction's been finished.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Investigator, any issues with that?
MR. MUCHA: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great. Any questions from the Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to extend the date on this for 30 days.
MR. MARINO: I'll second it.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and second.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Very good. And Wanda, she is
awesome.
MR. MERCER: Yes, she is. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you.
All right. The last -- oh, I'm sorry. Motion for continuance.
Number 1, Big Cypress Ventures, Incorporated, CESD20090014178.
Page 8
May 26,2011
Good morning.
MS. GOLETTI: Good morning.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning. Can I have you state
your name and --
MS. GOLETTI: Sure.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: -- relation to Big Cypress.
MS. GOLETTI: No problem. My name is Yolanda Goletti
(phonetic). I am the representative for John McGee, president of Big
Cypress National -- or Big Cypress Ventures, Inc.
I'm here to represent them and request an extension for a very
lengthy problem that we have there.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Just for the record, if you
wouldn't mind stating just quite simply that you're here on his behalf
and that he has given you permission to speak for him.
MS. GOLETTI: Correct. He has. I have submitted a certified--
or excuse me -- an authorized letter, notarized, stating that I'm able to
speak on his behalf.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay, great. And did you want to talk a
little bit about the process and how much time you think you'll need?
MS. GOLETTI: Originally -- okay. This is a very funny case
because of the location of the property. It's located in the Big
Cypress, so we have a -- Collier County and the Feds and the National
Preserve all involved in it.
So originally we had requested two months or 60 days, but the
amount has -- if it's okay with everybody, I would like to extend that
to 120 days to give us some time to process all the paperwork that's
required for the Building Department.
It's a very old structure. It's been there over 30 years, so it's taken
a little bit longer than what we expected.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Any objections from the county?
MR. SEABASTY: No, sir.
Page 9
May 26,2011
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions from the Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: Yeah. I see this goes back to September 3rd
of'09.
MS. GOLETTI: Yes, that's correct.
MR. KAUFMAN: About 20 months ago. What's been done
since then to now?
MS. GOLETTI: There's been numerous meetings between
ourselves and the Big Cypress National Preserve, and unfortunately
what their requirements are for the properties out there and the Collier
County requirements for the code don't coincide.
So it's taken a long time to get together with all the different
departments in the sense of structural, zoning, the Big Cypress, to
come to an agreement of what everybody would want. And it --
literally it has taken this long.
We just had a meeting, a final meeting, which depicted what we
need to do to keep everybody happy, which was back in March of
2011. That's why we're -- we're actually in the final stages. We
obtained the services of an engineer to go ahead and prepare what the
county wants, and the Big Cypress National Preserve agreed and said
that they were fine with that. So that's where we're at now. But it's
taken that long to get everyone together and agree on something,
unfortunately.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Is this a house? What is this?
MS. GOLETTI: It's a modular home, and it's on almost three
acres in the middle of the woods out there. And the problem that
started was the Big Cypress doesn't allow an increase of occupancy.
And, unfortunately, there was only one gentleman that lived out there
for over 30 years.
So when we purchased the property, they had their codes and
then Collier County had, obviously your guy's codes, more of a
single- family residence, and that's where the discrepancy kind of
happened, so --
Page 10
May 26,2011
MR. LEFEBVRE: And you feel comfortable with -- that 120
days will be enough?
MS. GOLETTI: Yes, yes.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Anything further?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Would somebody like to make a motion?
MR. KAUFMAN: I'll make a motion that we extend it 120 days.
MS. GOLETTI: Thank you.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion and second.
Any further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries unanimously.
MS. GOLETTI: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you for coming.
MR. SEABASTY: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, sir.
Now moving on to the stipulations. First one is Fotre,
CESD20100021900.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MS. RAWSON: Is that not 908?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I apologize, it is.
Page 11
May 26,2011
MS. BAKER: Yes, ma'am.
MS. RAWSON: Just to keep the record straight.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you. I can't read my own
handwriting.
MS. BOTTS: Good morning, gentlemen. For the record, Azure
Botts, Collier County Code Enforcement Investigator. This is in
reference to Case No. CESD201 00021908. Mr. Tucker, the
representative for Mr. Fotre, is here and has agreed and signed a
stipulation, and agrees to pay the operational costs in the amount of
$82 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days of this
hearing, abate all violations by: Respondent must obtain all required
Collier County building permits or demolition permit, the required
inspections, and Certificate of Completion within 120 days of this
hearing or a $200-per-day fine will be imposed for each day the
violation remains.
Respondent must notify code enforcement within 24 hours of
abatement of the violation and request the investigator perform a site
inspection to confirm compliance.
If the respondent fails to abate the violation, the county may
abate the violation and may use the assistance of the Collier County
Sheriff s Office to ensure the provisions of this agreement, and all
costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Thank you. Good morning, sir.
MR. TUCKER: Good morning. Bill Tucker, for the record. I
represent Mr. William Fotre Trust, and I have a Letter of
Authorization, which I'll give them over there.
And, in essence, we agree to all the stipulations. In this one
particular one, with the 908 last three, there is an issue of some
concrete steps. I just want to make it public record that we've agreed
with the stipulation agreement that the concrete steps associated in this
violation are not part of this investigation, and I think they agree to
that.
Page 12
May 26, 2011
MS. BOTTS: That is correct. The concrete stair was determined
by the building official, Gary Harrison, that it was not going to be an
.
Issue.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MR. TUCKER: So we accept the stipulations as we signed.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: No, I'm glad that you brought that point
up.
Jean, is there anything special, since the original charging
documents mention the stairs, however, it's not mentioned in the stip?
MS. RAWSON: Well, it's not in the charging document, and it's
also not in the stipulation. So, you know, I don't know. You -- he's
voluntarily saying he's going to do it, but I don't know whether we
need to put it in the order.
MS. BOTTS: That would be incorrect. He's not doing anything
with the stairs. The stairs are existing, and the -- Gary Harrison's not
requiring them to be permitted or feels that it is an issue to question
the permit issue with it.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Would our public comment, now, here as
part of the record be enough, or does signing the stipulated agreement,
which references the charging document, hold him liable to those
stairs?
MS. RAWSON: The stipulation just says "all required Collier
County building permits."
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. So it -- the permit passes?
MS. RAWSON: So it's pretty all inclusive.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay, very good.
MR. TUCKER: And we do have a Certificate of Occupancy for
the house. The house was built, like, in 1977, I think.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great. In that case, is there any
questions from the Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept the stipulation as written.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
Page 13
May 26,2011
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. And this one carries
unanimously.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And we have one more case, and we
have to go through the rigmarole and read it in.
MS. BOTTS: This is in reference to Case No.
CEPM20 1 00020593. Mr. Tucker agrees to the stipulation to pay
operational costs in the amount of$82.86 incurred in the prosecution
of this case within 30 days of this hearing, abate all violations by:
Obtaining all required Collier County building permits, inspections,
and Certificate of Completion/Occupancy for required repairs to the
structure and remove insect infestation and provide documentation of
removal from a licensed pest control company within 120 days or a
fine of$250 for each day the violation continues.
Respondent must notify code enforcement within 24 hours of
abatement of the violation and request the investigator perform a site
inspection to confirm compliance.
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 ensure the provisions of this agreement, and all
Page 14
May 26,2011
costs of abatement shall be assessed to the property owner.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. And, obviously, you agree with
this.
MR. TUCKER: Yeah. Bill Tucker representing the Fotre Trust.
We agree to those stipulations.
And just for the previous note, while I looked up here, it is --
there are concrete stairs at the rear of the garage, which was on the
previous one. That is in the original violation, just so you know.
That's it -- we agree to the stipulations on this particular one.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Any comments from the board?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Questions?
MR. KAUFMAN: Is there any particular reason, other than to
coincide with the previous case, that it's 120 days?
MS. BOTTS: It's -- we decided on 120 days -- there's a lot that
needs to be done on this house for permitting issues as well as
property maintenance issues, and just to make sure there was enough
time to obtain all the permits that may be required, we did 120 days.
MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. Motion to accept the stipulation as
written.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion. Do we have a second?
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
Page 15
May 26,2011
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries unanimously.
Thanks for your time today.
MR. TUCKER: Thank you very much.
MS. BOTTS: Thank you, gentlemen.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you.
Okay. The last stipulation we have today is Granadose,
CESD20 1 000 1 0084. This is an interpreter.
Whereupon,
MARITZA ORENGO, the interpreter herein, was sworn to truly
and correctly translate English into Spanish and Spanish into English.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Good morning, sir.
MR. ASARO: Good morning. Tony Asaro with Collier County
Code Enforcement Department.
The respondent has volunteered to enter into a stipulation
agreement; therefore, it is agreed between the parties that the
respondent shall pay operational costs in the amount of $82.56
incurred -- oh, 86, I'm sorry, 86 -- incurred in the prosecution of this
case within 30 days of this hearing, abate all violations by applying
for and obtaining a Collier County Building Permit or a Collier
County Demolition Permit, request all required inspections and obtain
a Certificate of Completion or Occupancy within 90 days of this
hearing or a fine of$150 a day -- per day will be imposed for each day
the violation remains.
Garage converted to living space must be unoccupied within 90
days of this hearing until the building permit or demolition permit has
been received -- a Certificate of -- has received a Certificate of
Occupancy or Completion, or a fine of $250 per day will be imposed
until the violation is abated. Respondent must notify -- must notify
Page 16
May 26,2011
code enforcement within 24 hours of abatement of the violation and
request the investigator to perform a site inspection to confirm
compliance.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And does the respondent understand and
agree to everything that was just read and she signed earlier?
THE INTERPRETER: She does.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have any questions from the
Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: I have one question, three parts. Is there
electrical in the garage right now?
MR. ASARO: Yes, sir, there is electrical.
MR. KAUFMAN: Okay. And water?
MR. ASARO: I don't believe there's water in there. Is there
water?
MS. GRANADOSE: Yes.
MR. ASARO: Yes, there is. Okay.
MR. KAUFMAN: Do you feel there are any safety and health
issues? Because the electrical and water, obviously, have not been
inspected.
MR. ASARO: I think that would have to be determined by a
building official.
MR. KAUFMAN: Because the 90 days, just to un-occupy the --
ordinarily what the Board has been doing, is turn the circuit breaker
off and move out of that area immediately, and then get all your
permits, et cetera, within the 90 days.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Is the -- is that area, the garage, is it
being rented out?
MS. GRANADOSE: No.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: It's not an eviction issue.
MR. KAUFMAN: Is it being used as a bedroom right now?
MS. GRANADOSE: No.
MR. KAUFMAN: Is it being used right now?
Page 1 7
May 26,2011
MS. GRANADOSE: It's unoccupied. It's not being used at this
moment.
MR. KAUFMAN: So it wouldn't be a problem to vacate that
area while the permits are being pulled and --
MS. GRANADOSE: It's not a problem.
THE INTERPRETER: She's asking me if she can request more
time, more than 90 days.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Could you pull the mike down a little bit
so that the court reporter can hear you. Okay. Go ahead.
THE INTERPRETER: She's requesting more time at this
moment, more than 90 days.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: She's certainly allowed to. It's okay.
Could you explain why?
THE INTERPRETER: What's the maximum, she's asking me.
MR. KAUFMAN: I think then we'll probably have to go back
out to the hallway to redo the stips since it would change the
stipulation from 90 days to some other thing. And I don't think that
we're allowed to modify the stips, if I'm not--
CHAIRMAN KELLY: If she's asking for more time, it's almost
an admission that she's not accepting the time frame that's here.
What's the will of the Board? Are we willing to grant any more than
90 days? I mean, is that going to be a waste of time?
MR. LEFEBVRE: I guess one question I have is, is it going to
be you -- does she plan on converting it back to a garage, or does she
plan on getting it permitted for the use that it's currently being used
as?
THE INTERPRETER: She wants to use it for an office. It's not
going to be converted to a garage.
CHAIRMAN KELL Y: Yeah. More time would probably be
good.
MS. BAKER: Mr. Chair, maybe they can go back out and
discuss this and we can bring it back after we hear a case or two.
Page 18
May 26, 2011
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. All right. We'll go ahead and let
you go. We'll move on in our schedule. Consider yourselves still
.
sworn In.
All right. Moving on. That temporarily concludes our motions
and stipulation.
N ow we're moving on to Letter C, hearings. The first case is J &C
Francois Family Limited Partnership, CESD20 11 0003690.
And I'm doing Jen's job. Sorry.
MR. KAUFMAN: Don't forget to make some muffins at the next
meeting.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MS. BAKER: This is in reference to violation of ordinance
Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Section
10.02.13(F).
Description of violation: Annual monitoring report has not been
turned in.

MR. LETOURNEAU: For the record, Jeff Letourneau, Collier
County Code Enforcement. The investigator of record, Mr. Gomez,
was unable to present the case today.
Page 19
May 26,2011
This is in reference to Case No. CESD20110003690 dealing with
the violation of failing to submit the required annual monitoring
report.
The violation location is 5349 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples,
Florida, 34116. Folio No. 36319960009.
Service was given on March 31, 2011.
I would now like to present case evidence in two letters that were
sent to the property owner.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Motion to accept.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: We have a motion.
MR. KAUFMAN: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: We have a second.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
MR. LETOURNEAU: Okay. The first letter was sent on
November 30th to the property owner detailing exactly what they
needed to come into compliance with, the various forms -- letter forms
and everything else, and a follow-up letter was sent on February 16,
2011, pretty much saying the same thing.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Certified or first class or both?
MR. LETOURNEAU: First class.
Page 20
May 26,2011
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Thank you.
MR. LETOURNEAU: Okay. At that point, the planning
department -- Ms. Beard had not received a response from the
property owner, and the case was -- the issue was turned over to
Investigator Gomez, who verified that they had not. And on March
29, 2011, he did post the property and the courthouse and send,
certified and first class, the Notice of Violation. And to this point we
haven't had any response from that property owner.
MR. KAUFMAN: I have a question. It's sort of a general
question.
At our last hearing we had a case that was similar to this that had
come up. Is this something that is relatively new that these are going
out to people or --
MR. LETOURNEAU: I don't believe it's new, but I just think
that we kind of had a little backlog, I believe, and we're just starting to
catch up and bring these forward to the board at this time, the ones
that aren't coming into compliance.
MR. KAUFMAN: Mr. Levinsky, the last time, said that there
was more to this than just, you know, Xeroxing last month's or last
year's program and sending it back in.
MR. LA VINSKI: Right, yeah. This is a several page document,
and someone has to spend a lot of time to get that information
developed. But it's -- and, yeah, it goes back -- I have personal
experience with one going back to 2005, so it's been around.
MR. LETOURNEAU: I will agree it takes some time. But as
you've seen, we did send the initial letter out on November 30th. I
don't believe it takes that long.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Is this regarding developments that are not
completed? Is that what it is? Or is it any --
MR. LETOURNEAU: I'm going to refer these questions to Ms.
Beard because I'm not really, you know, the expert on this.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay.
Page 21
May 26,2011
(The speaker was duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MS. BEARD: I'm Laurie Beard with PUD monitoring. The--
once the PUD has been -- it's been zoned a PUD, they have to
complete the monitoring reports annually until they go through what's
called the closeout step report, and those -- the closeouts basically are
-- all of the commitments in the PUD are verified to be completed by
the different departments in the county, and then the BCC approves
them to say everything is completed and you no longer have to do the
monitoring reports.
I took this position over a year ago January, and I'm using the
same form letters that were used previously, and -- including the one
that says you will be sent to code enforcement. I'm finding, though,
that a lot of those were never truly sent to code enforcement. I think
that's probably why you're kind of seeing these for the first time.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any other questions?
MR. KAUFMAN: I'd like to make a motion that we find them in
violation.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: We have a motion. Do we have a
second?
MR. LA VINSKI: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
Page 22
May 26, 2011
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And the motion carries. Thank you.
Okay. Do you have a recommendation?
MR. LETOURNEAU: I do. The county recommends that the
Code Enforcement Board orders the respondent to pay all operational
costs in the amount of $81.15 incurred in the prosecution of this case
within 30 days and abate all violations by submitting the following
documents: Two completed copies of the annual monitoring report,
one of three traffic count options, and one executed affidavit within X
amount of days of this hearing or a fine of X amount of dollars per day
will be imposed until the violation has been abated.
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 use the assistance of
the Collier County Sheriffs Office to enforce the provisions of this
order, and all costs of the abatement shall be assessed to the property
owner.
MR. KAUFMAN: One question. Have you had any contact
with the respondent whatsoever?
MR. LETOURNEAU: None whatsoever.
MR. KAUFMAN: Are they people who live locally, the trust or
whatever it is?
MR. LEFEBVRE: Napa.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: You had good service on a certified
letter, and it was signed, and it is a local address.
MR. LETOURNEAU: Right. Napa Ridge Way, I believe, is
right off of Pine Ridge, I believe, or Vanderbilt, I believe.
MR. KAUFMAN: They'll get a hint.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Lavinski, would you like to give us
an idea of how long we should give on something like this?
MR. LA VINSKI: Well, if this is their first shot at it, it's going to
Page 23
May 26, 2011
take a little bit of time to pull that together, because you have to go
right back to impact fees, is one of the first questions on the PUD
monitoring form. So it's -- they're not going to do it in two weeks.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Let me ask a question. When was this PUD
approved?
MR. LETOURNEAU: I'm not really sure. Ms. Beard?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I think there's a copy of it. 2004.
MR. LEFEBVRE: So this wouldn't be the first time that they had
to submit this?
MS. BEARD: No. This property is build out. They have
completed the project, and the last report we received was in 2009.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay.
MS. BEARD: So it has been done previously.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. .
MR. KAUFMAN: Ifmemory serves me, I think we did 60 days
at the last meeting. Originally it was 30 days, and based on what Mr.
Levinsky said, we extended that to 60 days. And since this is not the
first time they're submitting the forms, I think 60 days will be -- if I
would interject, do you think that would be sufficient time?
MR. LA VINSKI: Yeah. That should be more than enough if
they've done one as late as '09. It shouldn't be that much of a
catch-up.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Mr. Lavinski, would you like to take a crack
at it?
MR. LA VINSKI: Yeah. I'd like to make a motion then that--
what was the amount of the costs?
MR. LETOURNEAU: We left that up to you.
MR. KAUFMAN: Eighty-one--
MR. LETOURNEAU: Oh, I'm sorry, $81.15 was the operational
costs.
MR. LA VINSKI: Eighty-one fifteen, okay. I'll make a motion
then that the operational costs of 81.15 be applied and that thea
Page 24
May 26, 2011
affidavit, within 60 days of this hearing or a fine of $100 a day would
be imposed until the violation has been abated.
MR. KAUFMAN: I second that.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All those in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And the motion carries. Very good.
Okay. Next case -- cases, looks like we have three of them all
with the same respondent, Julio Iglesias. And if it's okay, if they're
related --
MS. BAKER: They're actually -- the same investigator is
working on that stipulation.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MS. BAKER: So if we could jump to No. 12.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sure. Just keep it in the same agenda but
move to 12.
Okay. This is going to be Krista -- oh, gosh -- Irizarry and John
Irizarry. I'm sorry, sir. I know I messed that up.
MR. IRIZARRY: Irizarry.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Irizarry, thank you.
MS. BAKER: This is in reference to violation of ordinance
Collier County Land Development Code 04-41, as amended, Section
2.01.00(A).

The first six are dated 9/22/2010, and then the last three are dated
5/24/2011 and 5/25/2011.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Irizarry, if you have any problems
with these, let us know. You can object to them.
MR. IRIZARRY: Okay.
MR. KAUFMAN: Have you seen them?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Yeah. Have you seen these?
MR. IRIZARRY: Yes.
Page 26
May 26,2011
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MS. BAKER: Did you accept them?
MR. LEFEBVRE: Motion to accept.
MR. KAUFMAN: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Motion.
MR. BALDWIN: This vehicle -- actually, the violation has been
abated here. It was a black Mustang that was unlicensed at the time.
MR. IRIZARRY: My brother had just bought it.
MR. BALDWIN: These vehicles, as you can see, unlicensed and
possibly inoperable.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Was it just the vehicles, or was it the
boat in the picture as well?
MR. BALD WIN: I was -- I cited them for the vehicles on the
property .
MR. IRIZARRY: The boat was licensed.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Can we go back to that last picture,
please, Jen. What do we see in this picture; just a different perspective
of the same?
MR. BALDWIN: Yes. Just different unlicensed vehicles and
trailers on the property.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sir, are you having work done at the
Page 27
May 26,2011
house? Is that a permitting--
MR. IRIZARRY: No. All I did -- you know, all this stuffhas
been at my house for, like, six years, ever since I moved there. It's in
a fenced in area.
I closed my business down in '09, and everything -- just left
everything back there. Actually got ajob working for Suncoast
Custom Pools, which I, you know, work out of my house, so I took
everything out for four days, had it re-graded, straightened up. I put
all those vehicles back in my fenced in area and, you know, that was
it.
Those vehicles have been there, my bug, my -- you know, I have
to have my bug. I drove that to high school, and I got those two bugs
to fix up for my daughter. And, you know, I can't afford to put a tag
on a car that's -- you know, there's nothing in it. It's a shell. And the
other car I just got for parts for that car.
I've gotten rid of the Bronco, the Volkswagen van. You know, I
got my two bugs back there. I got my trailers that I just use for
storage that have been -- you know, they're not able to -- you know,
they're just -- they're junk. I can't -- you know, they're not drivable. I
just use them for storage. I can't afford to take -- you know, I bought
this property. I've got three acres, you know, to keep my stuff there. I
can't afford to put tags on -- buy tags for trailers that I'm not ever
going to use; I'm just using them for storage. I can't afford to go pay
for a storage unit to put my stuff. You know, I -- you know, basically,
I got rid of the ones that I wasn't using.
I still got my two bugs which I'm going to plan on fixing for my
daughter, and the trailers I use for storage. It's fenced in. You barely
can see it from the road. I mean, there's cars all -- you know, you go
down Golden Gate Boulevard, there's all kinds of junk cars sitting in
the front of the yard, but nobody's called in on those. And if you don't
call in, nothing's done.
I mean, I understand why I got called in, because all my stuff --
Page 28
May 26,2011
all my junk cars were out in the -- you know, right in the front yard,
but four days later they were all moved back in.
And if you're driving by, all you can see is the top of my trailers.
And I got pictures to show you, if you need to see it.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: We'll go ahead and let the investigator
finish with his part, and then we'll take a look at this.
MR. IRIZARRY: Okay.
MR. BALDWIN: On 9/22 I responded to a complaint about
unlicensed vehicles and trailers on the Estates-zoned property. I
observed several unlicensed vehicles and trailers. I left a note, and the
respondent, Mr. Irizarry, called me back and left me a detailed
message.
I then went out the next day, and I met with his wife, Krista, and
she signed the Notice of Violation and she stated that we had many
vehicles on the property that were unlicensed, trailers and vehicles,
and she stated that we'd need some time. So I gave her the 30 days.
And I went back on 11/9/2010, and I also met with Krista again,
and she also said, we still need some more time, and she would have
her husband call me back, and he didn't respond to me since then.
So on 3/24 I again met with the wife, and she said we still needed
some more time, so that's why we're here today, and it's May.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Any more photographs?
MR. BALDWIN: Yes.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Is there any leniency in the code, in the
Estates-zone code, if the area's fenced in and not viewable?
MR. BALDWIN: I have the code, if you would like me to read
it. Parking and storage of vehicles without current license plates.
Vehicles or trailers of any type that are not immediately operable or
used to -- for the purpose in which they are manufactured, without
mechanical or electrical repairs or the replacement of parts or do not
meet the Florida safety code or do not have current valid license plates
or do not meet the definition of recreational vehicles as defined within
Page 29
May 26,2011
this code shall not be parked or stored on any residentially zoned or
designated property, including the "E" Estates district, other than in a
completely enclosed building.
F or the purpose of this section, a license plate shall not be
considered valid unless it is both affixed to a vehicle or trailer in the
fashion authorized by Florida law and is registered to the vehicle or
trailer upon which it is displayed.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: So if you have it inside of a building it's
acceptable without being operable and without having a valid plate,
but once it's outside of a completely enclosed building, it is, in that
case, in violation?
MR. BALDWIN: Correct, sir.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. All right.
Anything else from the county?
MR. BALDWIN: No.
MR. KAUFMAN: Finish the pictures.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Oh, yeah. Jen, is there any more of those
pictures?
MR. BALDWIN: That picture was taken 5/24/2011, and the next
two were taken on 5/25/2011, yesterday.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Is this from a distance? Is that why--
MR. BALDWIN: No. This is from the front of the property.
The main, principal structure is on the left, and he has a garage on the
right that is looking straight to the back of the property.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: What are we looking at besides the chairs
and the foreground?
MR. BALDWIN: Looking at the two Volkswagens -- you can
see the Volkswagen beetle over there, over to your right, and you can
see the top of the Volkswagen beetle almost directly in the center of
the picture. Both of those vehicles were also photographed on my
original site visit on 9/22/2010.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: This is a fenced in enclosed area?
Page 30
May 26,2011
MR. BALDWIN: It's almost fenced in and enclosed, yes.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any chance of using that garage to store
these in?
MR. IRIZARRY: Well, my garage only fits one car, you know,
and -- you know, basically I'm using that for storage. You know, I got
my weight bench in there and, you know, just -- I use it as, like, a play
room.
You know, it's like I got rid of -- I got rid of the van -- I got rid of
the van, the Bronco, my Volkswagen van. Got rid of those. All I have
left is my trailers that I use for storage, my two bugs, and I do have a
couple of trucks that a guy asked me to -- can I store them there
because he was in an industrial park area that, you know, he didn't
have tags on his truck because his business is down, so he has, like,
five or six trucks sitting there.
They made him move them out of a business area where you're
supposed to be able to, you know, have your trucks and stuff, and he's
slow, so he's setting these vehicles off to the side because he doesn't
use them anymore because the business is down, and then they're
telling you, you know, you've got to get tags and insurance on
vehicles that you're not even using anymore because you can't afford
it.
So, you know, I let him, you know, keep his trucks out there. He
said he'd give me some money to store them out there. And I'm -- I
told him he had to get a -- you know, take them.
But, you know, two bugs and a couple of trailers in an enclosed
area that you can barely even see from the road; I mean, what do you
live out in the Estates for? So you can have -- you know, do what you
want on your own property.
MR. MARINO: I have a question. Where are these pic- -- where
is this picture taken from? Is that his property that you're standing on
to take the picture of the trailers?
Page 31
May 26, 2011
MR. BALDWIN: Yes, that's his front driveway.
MR. MARINO: What is that; a fire pit out there or something?
MR. IRIZARRY: Yes.
MR. KAUFMAN: How did this violation come to light? Was it
an anonymous call or --
MR. BALDWIN: Yes, sir, I believe so, anonymous call. The
original call came in for unlicensed vehicles and trailers on the
property and that the property was being used for a used car lot.
MR. IRIZARRY: That's just because I moved those trailers out
so I can clean up my back area, and I put them back four days later.
And if you see the front of my property, my property's beautiful. You
know, I got rid of the boat. I don't have the boat, the other three
vehicles. It's -- my property's clean. And I got pictures that I went and
took this morning from the road. And all you can see is what you see
there, just the top of the trailers.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: The great thing about living in the
Estates is you can have commercial vehicles on your property . You
can have multiple even --
MR. IRIZARRY: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: -- out there.
MR. IRIZARRY: I mean, that's why I moved out there.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I live there, too.
MR. IRIZARRY: I have that bug I've been carrying around since
1990. I've had it at every house, when I was in the city in my front
driveway, just how it is, and never got messed with.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: The problem here is that if they are a
vehicle which is intended to be driven and they're outside, they have
to have a plate on them that's valid. So--
MR. IRIZARRY: Even if there's no engine? It's stripped? I
mean --
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Unfortunately, yes. Yeah, that's what the
code calls for, even in the Estates. There's leniency in the Estates --
Page 32
May 26, 2011
MR. IRIZARRY : Well, I can't -- I can't afford to put tags on
them. You know, I'd have to get insurance and put tags on them, on a
vehicle that, you know, maybe I'll have fixed up in six or seven
months.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Check on that insurance thing. I think if
you render them inoperable you don't have to carry insurance. You
just have to file an affidavit. I'm not sure.
MR. IRIZARRY : Yeah. I've still got to pay a hundred and
something dollars for a new tag.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Maybe, maybe. Let's see if there's an
NOV.
MR. LEFEBVRE: He has some pictures he wants to present.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Oh, yes. What would you like--
MR. IRIZARRY: It's just on my phone.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: That's going to be difficult to admit.
Here's the reason why. Once we admit them into evidence and you
show us, they actually have to have a physical copy so they become
part --
MR. IRIZARRY : Well, I could get copies and I could, you
know, print them out if I have to, whatever.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: In this case -- well, we'll see what the
Board says. But there's already been testimony stating to the fact that
you do have some vehicles that are not licensed. How many and how
clean it looks now and all that is almost irrelevant.
MR. IRIZARRY: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: But if there's one, then the violation still
exists, unfortunately.
So let's see if the Board -- any more questions?
MR. KAUFMAN: I make a motion that we find the respondent
in violation.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
Page 33
May 26, 2011
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries.
That basically means that you have at least one vehicle that fits
the description of the violation. So now what we'll do is ask the
county, see if they have a recommendation and work something out
time- frame wise.
MR. BALDWIN: That the Code Enforcement Board orders the
respondent to pay all operational costs in the amount of $80 incurred
in the prosecution of this case within 30 days and abate all violations
by:
One, obtaining and affixing a valid license plate for each
vehicle/trailer, repair defects so the vehicles/trailers are immediately
operable, or store vehicles/trailers within the confines of a completely
enclosed permitted structure within blank days of this hearing or a fine
of blank dollars per day will be imposed until the violation is abated.
Two, 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
Page 34
May 26, 2011
abatement shall be assessed to the property owner.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Could you do me a favor and explain--
we didn't see it on the screen -- but you had said the vehicles must be
immediately operable. What exactly does that mean?
MR. BALDWIN: That means that they have to have an engine
in them, they have to be taken off the property in case there's an
immediate emergency, they need to have tires on them. They can't be
sitting on blocks. Just in case there was an emergency and we could
take the vehicles off right away.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Can you, maybe afterwards, get with him
on exactly what the code's going to require?
MR. BALDWIN: Yes.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Sir, if you wanted to keep those for your
daughter and try to put them together, there might be some limitation
in the language. So try to see exactly what--
MR. IRIZARRY: And that's -- the bugs are -- you know, I still
got all those trailers that I'm, you know --
MR. BALDWIN: For some projects like this, some of the
owners in the Estates put the project vehicles, the unlicensed --
inoperable vehicles on licensed flatbed trailers, if you have an option
of doing that. They keep them on the licensed flatbed trailer while
they work on them or take them off and work on them and then store
them on the licensed flatbed trailer.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: That might be an option with you with
all the trailers.
MR. IRIZARRY: Then again I got to buy a $2,000 trailer to put
something on that I can't -- you can't -- you know, can't afford to buy
tags for.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Maybe the bugs will fit inside one of the
enclosed trailers, possible?
MR. IRIZARRY: No.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: No? Does anybody want to take a stab
Page 35
May 26, 2011
at it?
MR. KAUFMAN: Just a comment. It's no different than having
a building on the property that's not in -- that hasn't been permitted.
That's no dif- -- and storing things in that building or having it in a
trailer.
If you lived adjacent to a piece of property that was being used
this way, whether it's in the Estates or anyplace else, that's a problem,
and it's a problem for the person who has the stuff; if they don't have
enough vegetation to screen it from your neighbor, you're going to get
complaints like this, and they have every right to complain, and it is in
violation.
I took a look at some of the guidelines that we have for fining
and whatnot -- and I know money is tight -- and it says, "Vehicles
without a tag should comply within three days or $50 fine." And I
don't know if that's a per-vehicle-type deal nor do I suggest that as a
solution to this.
Is there anything that -- time frame that you could possibly come
up with that you can see about working some sort of agreement out so
that you're not fined?
MR. IRIZARRY: I just don't know. I mean, I -- you know,
you're telling me I have to get rid of all my -- you know, get tags on
my trailers that are never going to be on the road and my bugs that,
you know, I -- they'll probably be on the road maybe within six
months to a year after I restore them. But, you know, it's to the point
where, do I own the property or does the county own the property, you
know?
I moved out there just so I can do what I want on my property. I
don't feel like -- you know, it's not an eyesore. The bugs were -- all
the stuff was outside, and it's been in there for six years, and my
neighbors don't call. It was because all the vehicles were out in my
front yard and now they're not because I was just cleaning up. And
nobody's calling in, nobody's complaining. I only have one neighbor
Page 36
May 26,2011
and another neighbor. Nobody's calling, complaining. It was just that
one incident, and that stuffs been there for six years.
And if I -- you know, if -- I feel like if I get this, then everybody
else out there that, you know, has all -- you know, there's thousands of
people out there in the Estates that are exactly in the same situation
that I'm in. And there should be something, you know -- you know,
certain, you know -- what do you? You know, it should --
MR. KAUFMAN: Exceptions.
MR. IRIZARRY: -- exceptions that, you know, should be in
place if, you know, it's in a fenced in area. I mean, who can afford a
building to put -- you know, to put all their stuff in?
I mean, you move out there so you can do what you want on your
property. And, yeah, you know, I understand that it's an eyesore when
all that stuffwas out there, you know, in the beginning, but now it's
not. There's all kinds of stuff. And if nobody calls in, nobody says
anything.
If you're going to enforce this like you're enforcing it to me, you
need to stop by everybody's house that has all their junk cars out in the
front and violate them. It can't be just, you know, because somebody
calls in.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Would you like to maybe suggest a time
frame that we can consider, might help out?
MR. IRIZARRY: Well, I mean, where do we go from here? Do
I go to court? I mean, I'm going to fight it because this is my property,
and I'm not doing anything wrong.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: You certainly have your right to do that.
I'm sure that the investigator will help you with the next step in the
process.
MR. IRIZARRY: Yeah. That's what I --I'm not -- it's
ridiculous.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'm not sure of the exact procedure, but
there definitely is a procedure for you.
Page 37
May 26, 2011
In that case, Mr. Kaufman, did you have something?
MR. KAUFMAN: Well, I'd like to make a motion then. This is
obviously not going to end right here, but despite what the guidelines
are, I'd like to extend that to 90 days to give you an opportunity to do
whatever you're going to do with $1 OO-a-day fine after 90 days.
Again, if you have any problem meeting that time frame, you can
always come back and ask for an extension.
And the operational costs, I believe, are $80?
MR. BALDWIN: Yes, sir.
MR. KAUFMAN: Thirty days on the operational costs for
payment.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Do we have a second?
MR. MARINO: I'll second it.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded.
Any discussion?
MR. LEFEBVRE: Yes. I think we should extend the time
somewhat. I don't know if this is going to be resolved in 90 days, six
months, what the case may be, but he has licensed -- gotten the
Mustang licensed, and I think you stated --
MR. IRIZARRY: Got rid of four vehicles.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay -- and four of the vehicles. I'm not sure
if six months would take care of the problem or if it still will be there
in six months, but --
MR. KAUFMAN: I have no problem modifying the motion to
six months.
MR. MARINO: I have a question. Can I do that?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Yes, sir.
MR. MARINO: Have you looked at the actual cost on the
trailers and the license tags? Because I have --
MR. IRIZARRY: Well, the tags are probably about 130 bucks,
you know, for the vehicles, and the trailer tags are probably, you know
-- like, one I don't even have a title for. It's somebody that owed me
Page 38
May 26, 2011
money, and it was just, you know, where I used to rent from, so it's
just for storage. I couldn't -- you know, I don't know who the original
.
owner IS.
MR. MARINO: So you can't even tag it.
MR. IRIZARRY: I couldn't even get the tag for that trailer. The
other one I bought from Baker's Towing, and I just -- you know, I --
and I never got it registered because I wasn't ever planning on using it
on the road. I just bought it for storage. It's -- it was rear ended, so it's
going to cost, like, $2,500 to fix it to even put it on the road.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Mr. Marino, would you like to amend
your second to match --
MR. MARINO: I'll amend the second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MR. LEFEBVRE: I'm not sure if six months is going to correct
the problem or we're going to be back here in six months. So it seems
like 90 days or six months, we're still going to be back in the position
we're at.
But we're just giving you a little more time so you can work out
the situation, because according to the Land Development Code, it is
not allowed, what you're doing. So I think --
MR. KAUFMAN: And you obviously have the right to appeal
the Board's decision. The only thing I counsel you on is come back--
if it's in the same condition as it is today, come back prior to the
six-month expiration day so that you're not fined, and then make a
case --
MR. IRIZARRY: So basically what you're saying, you know, if
I took everything off the property, had it checked out and brought it
back, you know, nobody's calling it in, then, you know, it's not going
to come back on me. That's basically what it is. And once he signs
off on it -- I'll take all my vehicles off --
MR. LEFEBVRE: Here's the problem.
MR. IRIZARRY: -- and then if nobody calls in, then he's not
Page 39
May 26, 2011
going to come on my property again, or is he still going to be --
MR. LEFEBVRE: Let me cut you off at the pass. If there is
another report of a violation, and now it's a repeat violation, and the
fines can go up exponentially, so I would not recommend that.
MR. IRIZARRY: So it's really not my property then.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Is there any further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: We do have a motion and a second.
And, Jean, that was six months and $100 a day.
Seeing none, all those in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any it carries. Sorry, sir.
MR. BALDWIN: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MS. BAKER: We're ready to go back to the stipulation
agreement.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Let's go back to the stipulation.
And that was Maria Granadose.
Jean, I mean, are they okay, still sworn in?
MS. RAWSON: I think you told them that they would remain
sworn in. So all you have to do on the record is remind them that
they're still under oath.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Let this be a reminder that you're still
under oath. Okay.
Page 40
May 26,2011
MR. ASARO: Tony Asaro, Collier County Code Enforcement.
Respondents agree to enter into a stipulation agreement;
therefore, it is agreed between the parties that the respondent shall pay
the operational costs in the amount of $80.86 incurred in the
prosecution of this case within 30 days of this hearing, abate all
violations by applying for and obtaining a Collier County Building
Permit or a Collier County Demolition Permit, request all required
inspections and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy within 120 days of
this hearing, or a fine of $150 per day will be imposed for each day
the violation remains.
The garage converted to a living space must be unoccupied and
utilities turned off within 24 hours of this hearing until the building
permit or demolition permit has been received -- or has received a
Certificate of Occupancy, or a fine of $250 per day will be imposed
until the violation is abated.
Respondent must notify the Code Enforcement Department
within 24 hours of the abatement of the violation and request the
investigator to perform a site inspection to confirm compliance.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: So does that timeframe work much better
for you now?
MS. GRANADOSE: Yes, thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions or concerns from the
Board?
MR. KAUFMAN: I make a motion we approve the stipulation as
written.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
Page 41
May 26, 2011
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries unanimously.
Could you also let the respondent know that if there's any
problems, if she runs into issues, please come back and see us before
the time expires and request what we call an extension.
If she doesn't, the fines will go against the property and may
eventually end up losing her home.
Okay. Sometimes keeping the home the way she wants it isn't as
easy as she thinks. There's some permitting requirements and some
additional construction that may need to take place that might take
longer than the 120.
THE INTERPRETER: Yeah, she understands.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great. Thank you very much.
Okay. The next case -- are you doing okay? Do you want a
break?
THE COURT REPORTER: I'm okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Yeah, okay.
Well, the next case we actually have three cases together with
Julio Iglesias. And what we'd like to do is -- I think they're related, so
we'll talk about each one of them together and then we'll vote
separately on each case.
MS. BAKER: Mr. Chair, I'll go ahead and read in the violations
for each of the cases.
For the first case, Case CESD20100018711, is violation of
Florida Building Code, 2007 Edition, Chapter 1 Permits, Section
105.1, Section 111.1, Collier County Land Development Code 04-41,
Page 42
May 26,2011
as amended, Section 10.02.06(B)(1)(a), and Section
1 0.02.06(B)(1)( e )(i), several unpermitted structures on the property,
swimming pool with deck that is covered by a screen enclosure, no
permits; chickie hut with attached shed with a bathroom unpermitted;
three unpermitted small sheds, two on the south side of the property,
one on the east side of the property; tree-house with electricity
unpermitted; all structures on the property besides the principle
structure do not have permits.
For the second case, Case CESD20100018717, violation of

Violations are located at 985 Honeybee Drive, Naples, Florida.
I would like to present case evidence in the following exhibits:
13 photos taken on September 21, 2010, by Investigator Patrick
Baldwin.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a --
MR. KAUFMAN: Motion to accept.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All those in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: It carries unanimously.
MR. ASARO: On September 21,2010, Investigator Patrick
Baldwin observed a swimming pool, screen enclosure, wood decking,
chickie hut, sheds, tree-house with electrical additions to the first
floor, such as rooms, walls, doors, and electrical modifications. Also
he observed litter and debris consisting of buckets, construction
material, oil containers, et cetera.
After several site visits to the property and correspondence --
correspondence in attempt to make contact with the property owner,
the violation remains with no contact from the owner.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Is this property unoccupied?
MR. ASARO: Yes, sir, it is.
MR. KAUFMAN: Foreclosure team going to have a look at this?
MR. ASARO: It is a foreclosure property, and they do have a
Page 44
May 26, 2011
copy of the case.
MR. KAUFMAN: Okay.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Is this inside the stilt home or in the
elevated --
MR. ASARO: I wasn't on the property. Investigator Patrick
Baldwin was on the property. I can have him come up here --
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Is this a grow house?
MR. ASARO: -- and testify. I think -- it was a former grow
house.
(The speaker was duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MR. BALDWIN: These pictures -- there was almost, like, a
guesthouse built behind the chickie -- behind the principal structure,
behind the chickie hut that was also built. And these were rooms in
there that the tenders to the marijuana grow house were using.
MR. KAUFMAN: Did this come to code enforcement from the
Sheriff?
MR. BALDWIN: Yes, we went out there with the code
enforcement and the S W AT Team. Those last two pictures were the
first floor -- and this picture's the first floor of the stilt home where
there were walls added and where they had their operation.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: That's where their friend Bud lived.
Sorry .
MR. LEFEBVRE: I make a motion a violation exists.
MR. KAUFMAN: Second.

MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(N 0 response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion carries.
Do you have a recommendation? And what we'll do is we're
going to make a -- I'm sorry . We're going to vote on each one
individually.
MR. ASARO: Okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: However, if the recommendation's the
same, you could probably read the recommendation. I mean, if they're
different timeframes and whatnot, then read them separately.
MR. ASARO: Yeah. I'll read each recommendation.
MR. KAUFMAN: The owner of record for this property is?
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Still the individual?
MR. ASARO: Julio Iglesias.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Not the bank?
MR. ASARO: Pardon me?
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Not the bank? It's not -- the process
hasn't been --
MS. BAKER: No.
MR. ASARO: As far as I know, it's in lis pendens.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And not the singer.
MR. ASARO: And not the singer. He's on tour.
MR. KAUFMAN: Now when we voted, did we vote -- we just
voted the 711 case. We didn't vote on the other two.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Right now we're taking the first one
only.
MR. KAUFMAN: Okay.
MR. ASARO: Case No. CESD20100018711, the county
recommends that the respondent apply for and obtain Collier County
building permits or demolition permits, request all related inspections
Page 46
May 26, 2011
through the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Completion
within 120 days of this hearing, or a fine of $200 per day will be
imposed for each day -- I'm sorry -- no timeframes.
Let me read that over again -- applying for and obtaining Collier
County building permits or demolition permit, request all related
inspections through the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or
Completion within blank days of this hearing, or a fine of blank
dollars per day will be imposed for each day the violation remains.
Respondent must notify the Code Enforcement Board within 24
hours of abatement of the violation and request the investigator to
perform an on-site inspection to confirm compliance.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: What are the costs? And are you going
to let the Sheriffs Department help you out if you have to abate the
fines for them?
MR. ASARO: The costs for operational costs is $81.72.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I don't know if you've read in the last
line.
MR. ASARO: Yeah, I'm going to read that.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'm sorry.
MR. ASARO: 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. Any ideas, timeframes?
MR. KAUFMAN: I'll make a motion that, as far as the time, 120
days to abate, $500 a day -- is that what we typically have imposed on
grow houses with these typical violations -- and the operational costs
of 81.72 to be paid within 30 days.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have any discussion? That's--
500's the max?
Page 47
May 26,2011
MR. KAUFMAN: No, we could go more, but--
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. We're good then.
Seeing no other discussion, all in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries unanimously.
Now we'll move on to --
MS. BAKER: If you'd just repeat the days and the dollars for us,
please.
MR. KAUFMAN: One hundred and twenty days, $500 a day.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And then now if we can get a motion
that a violation exists for CESD20100018717.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Is the motion -- is the evidence the same and
the pictures are all the same?
MR. ASARO: Yes, they are.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. Make a motion that a violation exists.
MR. KAUFMAN: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.

MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Motion carries. And a
recommendation, please.
MR. ASARO: Oh, I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: That's all right. This is case two.
MR. ASARO: Okay. This is -- okay. Recommendation,
applying for and obtaining Collier County building permits or
demolition permit, request all related inspections through the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy or Completion within blank days of this
hearing, or a fine of blank dollars per day will be imposed for each
day the violation remains.
The respondent must notify the Collier County 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 -- in order to -- excuse me -- 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: And what was the amount of the
operational costs?
MR. ASARO: Operational costs is $81.72.
MR. KAUFMAN: I'll try the same thing again. One hundred and
twenty days, $500 a day, operational costs paid within 30 days of
81.72.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a second?
MR. MARINO: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded by Mr. Marino.
Any discussion?
Page 49

CHAIRMAN KELLY: All those in favor?

MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: It carries unanimously.
And the third case? We'll go ahead and see if we can't get a
motion for violation, that is case -- on Case No. CENA20100018724.
MR. MARINO: I'll make a motion a violation exists.
MR. LA VINSKI: Second.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries.
Recommendation, please.
MR. ASARO: Okay. Recommendation is that the Code
Page 50
May 26, 2011
Enforcement Board orders the respondent to pay all operational costs
in the amount of$80.51 incurred in the prosecution of this case within
30 days and abate all violations by removing all litter to a site intended
for final disposal or proper inside storage of desired items within blank
days of this hearing, or a fine of blank dollars a day will be imposed
for each day the violation remains.
The respondent must notify the Code Enforcement Board - 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 Collier County Sheriffs
Office to enforce the provisions of this order, and all costs of
abatement shall be assessed to property owner.
MS. BAKER: Just a correction. The operational costs are
$80.57.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
MR. KAUFMAN: I'll give it a shot. On this one, since it's litter,
and if I lived next door, I would probably be looking for a much
shorter timeframe, 30 days, $200 a day, and 80.57 paid within 30
days.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Do we have a second?
MR. MARINO: Second it.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Is there any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Aye.
MR. KAUFMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Aye.
MR. LA VINSKI: Aye.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: And it carries.
MR. ASARO: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Jean, did you get the times and amounts
for all three of those?
MS. RAWSON: I did. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: All right. That's the end of Julio
Iglesias's cases.
The last one under hearings today is going to be

I would like to present case evidence in the following: Three

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?

CHAIRMAN KELLY: It carries unanimously.
Did you say it was personal service?
MS. BOTTS: My apologies; certified mail.
The case was initiated by a lien search. Investigator Reggie
Smith on the 7th of December had made a site visit, and he had
Page 53
May 26,2011
observed to the residence, additions made to both sides of the home.
As you see in the photos, you can differentiate between the concrete
that's not painted to the center of the house which is.
The property owner, prior property owner -- now Fifth Third
Bank Mortgage is the owner. But the prior owner, Mr. Valmer, had
pulled a 2007 permit for these additions. The additions include
electrical, plumbing, bedrooms, things of that nature, what's going
inside them.
The permit was never completed. Several inspections had been
performed but not all of them, so the permit was not CO'ed; therefore,
it was canceled on the 6th of October.
It was brought to his attention, I'm not sure how, but he pulled
another permit in 2009. N ever any of the inspections completed, so
now the 2009 permit has expired.
The deed that you had seen or you had mentioned was recorded
on the -- November 24,2010, showing that Fifth Third Bank has taken
ownership. I was there yesterday. I -- it appears that the residence is
still being lived in. There's items throughout the yard as well as, if you
look into the additions that have no windows or doors on them, there's
items that appear to be still remaining inside. I was not able to contact
or speak with anyone there.
Several site visits have been made. CD plus -- excuse me. Our
software program that we check for permits has been checked, and no
permits -- new permits have been issued at this time so the violation
.
remaIns.
MR. KAUFMAN: I'd like to make a motion that a violation
exists.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any discussion?

CHAIRMAN KELLY: All in favor?
MR. MARINO: Aye.

MR. L'ESPERANCE: Aye.
MR. DOINO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Motion carries.
Do you have a recommendation?
MR. KAUFMAN: Before we go there, a couple of quick
questions.
MS. BOTTS : Yes, sir.
MR. KAUFMAN: This -- it looks like somebody put an addition
on, got the permits, never finished it. After the permits ran out, they
went back to get new permits --
MS. BOTTS: Correct.
MR. KAUFMAN: -- which, during that period of time, the --
they probably ran out of money or whatever, and the bank foreclosed
on it.
MS. BOTTS: Correct.
MR. KAUFMAN: Did the foreclosure team have their input into
this one?
MS. FLAGG: The foreclosure team does work these cases, but
the banks typically do not address the properties, even though they
may have title, if there's someone living in it.
MR. KAUFMAN: Do we know if the old or the existing owner
is living in it, or is it somebody else?
MS. BOTTS: I had prior history on this property for a recre- --
or excuse me, for a commercial vehicle, and at that time -- it was
shortly prior to this case being opened, and at that time it was the old
owner. As of right now, I cannot confirm if it was or if it's someone
Page 55
May 26,2011
else.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Ready for the recommendation?
MR. KAUFMAN: Yes.
MS. BOTTS: Okay. The county recommends--
recommendation is to pay the operational costs in the amount of
$84.01 incurred in the prosecution of this case within 30 days and
abate all violations by: The respondent must obtain all required
building permits or a demolition permit, the related inspections, and
Certificate of Completion/Occupancy within X amount of days of this
hearing or an X amount per-day fine will be imposed for each day the
violation remains.
The respondent must notify 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.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Any questions from the board?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN KELLY: How about a motion to accept or --
MR. KAUFMAN: I have one question. The papers that were
left for us when we came in, that's on this piece of property, or am I --
MS. BAKER: I believe so, sir.
MR. KAUFMAN: So on this one--
CHAIRMAN KELLY: That's a different case.
MR. KAUFMAN: This is a different case.
Well, I'll take a stab at the recommendation in making a motion.
Eighty-four oh one paid within 30 days, 120 days to resolve the
situation, or a $200-a-day fine.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Second.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Seconded.

Thank you.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Moving on to Case No.
CEPM20110003398, Melissa K. and Joseph L. Barrs. And for the
Board, there's an amended -- what do we call this -- the
imposition-of- fines page on your desk.
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MR. MUCHA: Good morning. For the record, Joe Mucha,
property maintenance specialist, Collier County Code Enforcement.
This is the imposition of fines and lien hearing for Case No.
CEPM20110003398 for violation of Collier County Code of Laws and
Ordinance, Chapter 22, Article VI, Section 22-232 -- I'm sorry --
Section 22-231 (2). It was a typo.
Location is 3815 Estey Avenue, Naples, Florida. Folio number is
26580720004. Description of the violation is an occupied structure
that had water disconnected by City of Naples Utilities due to
nonpayment of bill.
Past orders: On March 23, 2011, the Code Enforcement Board
issued a finding of fact, conclusion of law and order. The respondent
was found in violation of the referenced ordinances and ordered to
correct the violation. See the attached order of the board, OR4670,
Page 159, for more information.
The respondent has complied with the CEB order as of April 13,
2011.
The fines and costs to date are described as the following: Order
Item No.1 and 2, fines at a rate of$500 per day for the period
between April 1, 2011, through April 13, 2011, 13 days, for the total

Order Item No.5, operational costs $80.29 have been paid.
Total amount to date is $6,500.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Investigator Mucha, is the affidavit --
affidavit of compliance accurate? Number 2, it says the respondent did
May 26, 2011
not contact the investigator.
MR. MUCHA: At the time the -- here's what the situation was.
I met Mr. Barrs after -- after that date. What had happened was his
son was staying in the residence, and I had went back and confirmed
that his son had moved out, and then afterward is when I got in touch
with Mr. Barrs, and he kind of explained what the situation was. And
I'll kind of let him elaborate more on that.
MR. BARRS: Yes. Nobody let me know about the fines or
anything like that that was presented against me. And when I got a
hold of Joe, I went and solved all the problems and closed the place up
and everything, and everything's good to go now, so--
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Great.
MR. BARRS: -- I didn't know anything about this. The only
reason I found out about it, I seen a certified letter, and I went to the
Post Office and got it. And I was already dealing with Joe, and Joe
told me, well, there were additional fines coming up on you, and I
didn't know nothing about it. That's why I'm here today, to see if we
can waive these.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: So you own the property?
MR. BARRS: Right.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: You were getting mail service to that
property --
MR. BARRS: Right.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: -- not another address where you're
staying now?
MR. BARRS: No, no. And they -- what they was doing, they
would grab it and wouldn't let me know about it because they knew I'd
been upset. I didn't know they were not paying the water or nothing.
And I was thinking everything was okay, and they weren't telling me.
I guess they told him they didn't know how to get a hold of me, which
that was a lie.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay.
Page 60
May 26,2011
MR. BARRS: You know, now when I get a hold of him, I solved
the problem.
MR. LEFEBVRE: This is the case where there was a younger
couple --
MR. BARRS: Right.
MR. LEFEBVRE: -- living in the house?
MR. MUCHA: Correct, sir.
MR. LEFEBVRE: And one was -- and it was his son and
girlfriend, I would assume.
MR. BARRS: Right.
MR. MUCHA: Yes, sir.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Son's girlfriend, I guess. Okay.
The only -- let me ask a question. I guess it's a procedural
question. The only time that you will send a certified letter, is it --
when you actually impose a fine? Or when is the first time you send a
certified letter to a respondent?
MR. MUCHA: We send a certified letter with the Notice of
Violation, for the Notice of Hearing, and for this hearing as well.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. So he's saying that he's not received
any certified letters of Notice of Violation, notice of the hearing, but
he did for the fines.
MR. MUCHA: Well, what I think happened was, because this
was a health and safety issue, it was something that I think I
immediately posted and we brought to a hearing right away, within
days, so probably by the time he got around to receiving that mail--
MR. BARRS: I didn't know nothing about it.
MR. MUCHA: -- he didn't know what was going on. And his
son that was staying there was dishonest with me and said he had no
way to get a hold of his father, and I just had to take his word for it at
the time.
And then after his son moved out, he subsequently, like, trashed
the place and threw a bunch of furniture and things like that in the
Page 61
May 26, 2011
yard, and that's when he got in touch with me and we kind of resolved
this whole issue. And he went back in, he secured the property, he
cleaned the mess, and he's been keeping it clean since then.
MR. LEFEBVRE: I make a motion to abate the fine.

Location: 15495 Tamiami Trail North, Unit 111, Naples,

Description: Interior door that was installed that required

combine Units 110 and 111 without first obtaining proper Collier
County permits.
Past order: On January 27,2011, the Code Enforcement Board
issued findings of fact, conclusion of law and order. The respondent
was found in violation of referenced ordinances and ordered to correct
the violation. See the attached order of the board, OR4651, Page 605,
for more information.
The respondent has complied with the CEB orders as of April 18,
2011.

Total amount to date, $2,100.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. It was -- it went over by 21 days.
I mean, it was just --
MR. DELGADO: Well, I'd like to remind the Board, at least in
regards to this, it was -- we had the work completed before our initial
hearing. The permit dates, which are on record with the county, we
submitted in February. It was extended almost 30 days. We didn't get
a release of the permit until the end of March, March 29th.
Our work was actually already done. We were inspected and
finished with the project within days of the release of the permit.
We just -- in that same period of time, that tenant subsequently
abandoned the space. We got into a much more complicated issue
with securing the space, putting it back to occupiable, and the landlord
has been working with the fire department, Collier County code --
building departments, trying to get all of the other items that have
come up since that time -- this was all on at the same time we were
waiting for this permit to release. So I'm just asking for a little bit of
MR. LEFEBVRE: Make a motion to abate.

CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Thank you.
Hi. Good morning.
MS. PASKANIK: Hi. My name's Tisha Paskanik.l'm here on
behalf of my mother, Julie Askey. I live at the residence. The
property is technically mine. They bought it for me 13 years ago.
In the last two years my mother has had to take over the
payments due to the fact I have been out of work. I did construction
here, and construction is not going on anymore.
So -- but, basically, I haven't been able to get permits for the new
mobile home that was put on there, basically due to financial hardship.
I mean, I just had a baby, unexpected, last thing, and I just -- I don't
have the extra funds right now to come up with the money for the
permitting.
So, I mean, the mobile home was given to me. It was moved -- I
moved out an old mobile home that was unlivable and put that there in
its place and did -- you know, got it so that we could stay there.
Page 67
May 26,2011
As of right now, I'm not living in it. My children moved out.
They were living in the other mobile home, so I don't -- there's at this
present -- at this present time there's nobody living in it. But we do
want to try to get it so that my mom can live in there. I mean, we're
trying to all, like, kind of pile our resources together just to get
through, you know, the economy right now, so--
MR. L'ESPERANCE: What will be the cost of the permits that
might be required? Do you have any idea?
MS. P ASKANIK: It's roughly about $600, unless it's more than
that. I don't know. But I believe it will be about $600, so --
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Do you foresee the possibility of being
able to obtain the $600 for the permits?
MS. P ASKANIK: Eventually, I'm hoping so, yes. Just -- things
just are really difficult right now as far as, like, you know, there's no
work. I mean, I did swimming pool construction, which is extremely
limited. I mean, I know regular construction is picking up, but
everybody's not throwing a pool in the backyard anymore, and right
now just -- I just had the baby, and it's just -- times are extremely
difficult, so --
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Could there be some community
resources that might be available to assist this person? Anybody have
any ideas?
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Health and Human Services may have
something available for you.
MS. PASKANIK: Okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: I'm sorry. It's now Health, Veteran, and
Human Services. I forgot. But there are some avenues.
MS. P ASKANIK: I wasn't aware of anything, so --
MR. LEFEBVRE: I'd like to make a motion that we extend this
or withdraw it, if we can, for 60 days, and if she can explore the
avenues possible --
MR. L'ESPERANCE: Second that motion if necessary.
Page 68
May 26, 2011
MR. LEFEBVRE: -- with the agreement it remain vacant for this
period.
MS. PASKANIK: Right.
MR. LEFEBVRE: If that's possible.
MS. BAKER: The county will withdraw and bring it back at a
later date.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. Basically what it means is we're
not going to impose the fines today. Instead, the county has agreed to
withdraw this case.
MS. PASKANIK: Okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: What that means is they're going to give
you some time to investigate other options.
MS. PASKANIK: Okay.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: But keep in mind that although they
withdrew imposing the fines, they are technically still accruing.
MS. P ASKANIK: Right.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Okay. So we have this chunk of money
that may eventually become due. So keep that in mind. You know,
diligence to keep it going would be great.
MS. PASKANIK: Okay, thank you.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Jen?
MS. BAKER: Yes, sir. No earlier than 60 days.
MR. LEFEBVRE: Okay. Is there someone within code
enforcement that possibly can put her in touch with an agency that can
MS. BAKER: Yes.

MS. PEREZ: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Thank you, Cristina.
There's no new business, I see. The consent agenda, there was
nothing to forward to the attorney's office.
Any reports?
MS. FLAGG: Of course. As of April 2011 -- and we started
tracking this January of 2008 -- there have been 22,272 lis pendens or
foreclosures filed in Collier County.
Through May 22nd, the banks have expended $2,119,200 to
abate 1,915 code violations.
In addition -- as you know, every week we monitor performance
statistics for the department. And the week ending May 15, there were
188 new code cases opened in that one week. There were 630
property inspections completed that week. There were 99 cases closed
with voluntary compliance. There were 121 lien searches. Remember
that's the program that we started with Naples Area Board of Realtors,
and of those 121 lien searches, 6 of them revealed that there were
open code cases, so that obviously saved the buyers some real issues.
And the average number of code cases that the investigators are
investigating at this point is 47 cases per investigator.
The department members participated in a foreclosure workshop
this past week with the Foreclosure Task Force of Collier County.
Collier TV just finished filming a segment that will be on the
government channel for the Blight Prevention Program.
And in closing, we have a new supervisor, Ralph Bosit
(phonetic), was that dapper young man that was sitting in the back.
He is -- has been promoted from investigator to investigative
supervIsor.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Congratulations to him.
Page 74
May 26, 2011
That's staggering numbers when you think about the foreclosures
and everything your team's able to handle in a week. That's
incredible.
Any other comments?
MR. KAUFMAN: I think you forgot to mention that you were
before the County Board of Commissioners to accept their
congratulations this week.
MS. FLAGG: There was -- on Tuesday the Board of County
Commissioners gave the department a proclamation for Code
Enforcement Week. Yes, thank you.
MR. MARINO: I also want to thank Diane for taking care of
something with another part of the business in the county with the
limousines and taxis. She jumped right on it, and people are out there
doing their job.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: Excellent. Thank you.
The next meeting date is going to be June 23, 2011. I think we're
back here in the chambers, correct?
MS. BAKER: I believe so, yes.
CHAIRMAN KELLY: If there's nothing else, I'll entertain a
