C
A
Any
aggrieved
party
may
appeal
a
final
administrative
order
of
this
board
to
the
circuit
court.
Such
appeals
shall
be
filed
within
30
days
of
the
execution
of
the
order
to
be
appealed.
Florida
Statute
to
86.0
1:05
requires
any
party
appealing
a
decision
of
this
board
to
have
a
record
of
the
proceedings
to
support
such
an
appeal.
The
procedure
of
the
board
is
as
follows.
First,
the
city
presents
its
witnesses
and
exhibits,
after
which
the
alleged
violator
is
able
to
ask
the
city's
witnesses
any
specific
questions
regarding
their
testimony.
A
The
alleged
violator
is
allowed
to
make
a
presentation
and
present
his
or
her
witnesses
and
exhibits.
Then
the
city
can
question
the
alleged
violators
witnesses
after
both
rounds
of
testimony
both
on
the
part
of
the
city
and
on
the
part
of
the
alleged
violator.
Each
party
is
asked
to
give
a
closing
argument
first
by
the
city
and
then
by
the
alleged
violator
after
those
three
steps
are
taken.
This
board
will
close
the
public
hearing
portion
of
the
case
to
discuss
it
and
take
appropriate
action.
A
A
Okay,
before
we
go
any
further,
the
board
has
a
bit
of
business
that
we
need
to
take
care
of,
and
that
is
I've
received.
The
resignation
of
the
chairman
and
today,
as
vice
chairman
I'd,
like
to
call
for
a
the
nominations
and
a
vote
to
fill
that
vacant
Chairman's
position.
Can
we
have
any
nomination.
F
A
A
E
A
G
A
H
You
mr.
chairman
I'm
officer,
Steve
gas
and
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
Police
Department
I've,
been
the
code
inspector
at
the
city
for
two
years.
I've
been
a
police
officer
for
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs.
Now
for
20
years.
The
case
in
question:
17-8:
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero

is
106
T's,
Lime
Street
the
register
or
the
listed
owners
are
Paul
and
Tina.
H
Back-Alley
the
case
I
bring
before
you.
The
initial
inspection
of
the
property
was
January
3rd
of
this
year.
My
initial
observations
with
there's
trash
on
property
on
the
in
the
front
in
the
rear,
the
structures
in
very
poor
condition,
debilitated
the
art
needs
to
be
mowed,
trimmed
in
edge.
The
trees
need
to
be
trimmed.
Currently,
the
house
is
vacant,
I've
submitted
pictures
to
the
board,
Exhibit
number
one
or
the
photographs.
There's
two
sets
of
photographs.
H
At
about
that
time,
we
sent
the
initial
courtesy
letter
all
of
the
notices,
including
courtesy
letters,
Notice
of
Violation
and
notice
of
hearing
or
exhibit
number
two
that's
been
submitted
to
the
board,
and
all
of
my
miscellaneous
administrative
documentation
is
at
exhibit
number
three.
That's
been
submitted
to
the
board
moving
forward,
I
conducted
a
rien
spec
ssin
January
18th
of
this
year,
and
there
was
no
change
at
that
point
in
time.
H
I
sent
a
Notice
of
Violation
should
be
noted
for
the
record
that
all
my
documentation
as
far
as
ownership
was
achieved
via
the
Pinellas
County
Tax
Collector,
the
Pinellas
County
property
appraisers
website
and
those
notices
were
sent
to
those
listed
people.
And/Or
addresses
on
January
19th,
the
Nov,
the
Notice
of
Violation,
was
sent
for
your
first
class
certified
mail
on
January
26.
H
The
green
card
addressed
to
the
owner
record
was
signed,
delivered
on
January
23rd
January
31st
had
contact
via
email
who
originally
requested
an
extension
to
take
care
of
some
of
the
issues
with
the
property.
I
gave
them
until
February
27th
at
5:00
p.m.
to
clean
up
the
property
on
February
28th.
They
conducted
a
rien,
spec
ssin.
Large
amount
of
the
trash
have
been
cleaned
up,
but
the
structures
are
still
in
poor
condition.
H
The
particular
structures
I'm
talking
about,
if
you
saw
the
pictures,
was
there's
two
sheds
in
the
backyard
and
they
and
I
have
a
tilt.
They
look
like
a
safety
hazard.
There's
some
minor
issues
with
the
actual
house
itself.
Some
of
the
sightings
got
issues.
Some
of
the
windows
are
broken,
but
it
appears
and
I'm
not
a
building
inspector
or
structural
engineer
that
the
building
itself,
the
main
part
of
the
building,
seems
to
be
intact.
H
It
just
needs
a
little
cleanup
even
up
until
yesterday,
when
I
conducted
the
last
inspection,
but
the
two
sheds
in
the
back
or
an
issue.
As
I
stated,
you
cleaned
up
a
lot
of
the
property.
Unfortunately,
there's
still
some
debris,
you
can
see
in
the
pictures
they
kind
of
shoved
it
underneath
the
house
it
looks
like
there
are
some
couches
and
some
other
debris
underneath
the
house
there's
a
couch
over
on
the
east
side
of
the
property.
I
would
say
it's
about
85%
done
to
be
in
compliance
the
owner
or
the
representative.
H
When
I
talked
to
him,
he
had
some
issues
with
removing
the
shed
of
the
building
because
of
the
parcel
any
age
of
it
and
being
able
to
rebuild
a
structure.
I,
don't
understand
all
that
aspect
of
it,
but
we
discussed
especially
those
two
sheds
in
the
back
being
a
safety
issue
in
clearing
those
out
before
I
put
it
in
a
compliance.
Moving
forward
again,
I
sent
a
notice
of
hearing
on
February
28th,
that's
included
in
the
notices
that
came
through.
We
returned
back
on
March
3rd
to
certified
green
cards,
signed
March,
2nd
by
L
Kia.
H
The
notice
of
hearing
first
class
mailing
was
returned
unopened.
That
was
just
the
regular
first
class,
not
certified.
I
posted
the
property
on
March
30th,
that's
exhibit
number
4
that
went
around
and
then
on
April
12.
They
conducted
a
tree
inspection.
Basically,
what
I
discussed
the
two
small
buildings
are
still
out
back,
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
trash
once
the
trees
are
taken
care
of,
and
those
were
the
last
couple
of
pictures
that
went
through
showing,
like
I,
said,
a
significant
change,
but
still
a
couple
of
minor
issues.
H
H
He
was
the
one
who
explained
to
me
that
couldn't
move
it
I
said
I,
don't
understand
the
partial
issues
with
that,
but
so
at
this
point
in
time
the
case
before
the
board
is
a
violation
of
city
code
822,
which
is
the
accumulation
of
trash
city
code,
8,
40,
the
duty
to
maintain
private
property
and
the
850
nuisance.
Prohibitions,
which
covers
debris,
lot.
Clearing
and
those
kind
of
things,
and
that
at
this
point,
is
all
I.
H
H
If
he
was
to
provide
me
some
legal
paperwork
or
something
like
that
which
I
could
obviously
present
to
the
board,
but
about
the
two
sheds
not
being
able
to
be
removed,
I
suppose
they
could
be
shored
up
to
the
point
where
they're
safe,
but
that
doesn't
negate
the
issue.
There's
debris
still
on
the
property,
which
needs
to
be
cleaned
up.
H
H
C
E
A
D
B
A
E
E
B
A
G
C
G
H
C
My
suggestion
is,
is
that
it
just
be
reno
'test
and
brought
back,
and
hopefully
it's
brought
into
compliance
fire.
Then,
sir,
you
know
we
don't
have
the
right
party
here
cited,
and
so
it's
it's
more
important
for
us
to
get
the
right
person.
If
the
bank
owns
it
now
the
bank
will
probably
be
cited
at
this
point.
So.
H
G
A
You
thank
you,
sir.
All
right
then
case
number
two
that
was
just
referred
to
is
going
to
be
considered
as
being
we've
drawn
this
on
to
the
next
case.
Age
number:
seventeen
eight
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
seven
seven,
oh
five,
South
distance
Street
D
is
sto
n.
Is
there
anyone
here
for
that
piece,
proper.
H
H
The
initial
inspection
on
this
property
was
February
10th.
There
was
numerous
violation.
The
house
suffered
some
significant
fire
damage
approximately
ten
years
ago
and
it's
not
been
and
it's
not
been
repaired.
Since
that
point
a
lot
has
trash
all
over.
It
appears
to
be
used
as
a
dumping
ground.
The
fence
is
in
poor
condition
and
dilapidated
and
there's
also
a
number
of
pepper.
Brazilian
pepper
trees
on
the
property
exhibit
number
one,
that's
being
passed
around
to
the
photos
that
were
taken
initially
back
in
February
and
I
didn't
take.
H
Basically,
it
hasn't
been
touched
since
I
took
those
original
photos.
All
of
my
notices,
including
my
Notice
of
Violation,
a
notice
of
hearing
certified
return
receipts.
Our
exhibit
number
two
being
passed
around
exhibit
number
three
consists
of
the
administrative
documentation,
property,
appraisers,
screenshots,
documenting
the
owner
of
the
property
for
the
record.
H
The
owner
was
derived
via
the
Pinellas
County
taxpayers
website
for
all
notices.
In
this
case,
February
13th,
the
Notice
of
Violation,
was
mailed
to
his
class
return.
Receipt
requested,
February
27th
we
received
the
certified
letter
signed
by
may
include
a
kiss
who
is
the
owner
it's
much
easier
to
pronounce
Manny
than
his
original
name:
February
I'm,
sorry
March
13th
of
this
year
received
a
phone
call
from
Manny's
mom
Heraclitus,
basically
going
through
an
eating
time
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
unfortunately
Harriette
property
owner
on
March,
16th
officer
micro
conducted
the
re-inspection.
H
For
me,
because
I
was
out
on
medical,
there
was
basically
no
change
to
the
property.
A
notice
of
hearing
was
mailed,
first
class
return
receipt
requested
at
that
time
and
we
received
a
return
receipt
March
29th
for
the
NIH
for
the
notice
of
hearing
officer,
okie
posted
the
property
on
March
30th
of
this
year.
That's
exhibit
number
four
and
then
I
conducted
the
re-inspection
on
April,
11th
and
I
actually
met
with
Manny
and
his
sister
at
the
property
and
met
with
the
contractor.
H
His
intent
was
basically
to
ask
the
board
to
give
him
60
additional
days.
His
plan
is
wanted
to
he's
going
to
he.
He
says
he's
already
got
the
structural
engineering
side
cleared
where
they
could
rebuild
the
property,
but
the
cleanup
he
wants
to
do
right
away
and
that's
one
of
my
biggest
concerns,
which
includes
basically
clearing
everything
off
the
property.
All
the
trash
there's
a
structure
around
back.
H
It's
like
a
lean-to
shed,
that's
falling
over
there's,
broken
glass,
there's
and
in
the
pepper
trees,
and
he
agreed
to
get
those
taken
care
of
right
away
if,
for
some
reason
they
found
that
they
were
unable
to
get
the
clearance
from
the
structural
engineer,
he'll
pull
a
demo
permit
and
demolish
the
property.
Otherwise,
he's
going
to
be
getting
the
renovation
permits
within
that
sixty
days,
I
told
him
I'm,
okay,
with
the
at
least
pulling
the
permit
beginning
the
work
within
sixty
days
and
then
at
that
point
the
case
would
basically
be
satisfied.
H
H
They
clean
up
they
they're
in
the
process
of
trying
to
get
a
roll
off
a
couple
of
roll
offs
up.
There
there's
another
case
that
you're
gonna
get
but
they're
the
owner
of
and
they're
trying
to
take
care
of
both
those
at
the
same
time,
so
I
mean
realistically
a
few
weeks,
the
60
days.
The
discussion
we
had
about
that
was
also
to
include
getting
permits
and
getting
the
structural
redesign
part
of
that
done
as
well.
The
cleanup
bill,
I
would
imagine,
would
be
done.
Probably.
B
H
H
H
H
C
G
E
I
I
just
want
to
make
before
the
motion
for
a
fine
possible
fine
on
this
property.
I
just
have
a
question:
oh
the
the
owner
requested
60
days
after
looking
at
those
those
pictures
that
that
that
property
has
been
in
disarray
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
to
give
him
an
extended
60
days
or
something
he
probably
should
have
done
a
year
ago.
Isn't
essentially,
we
don't
need
to
do
well.
I
would
suggest
to
the
board
maybe
30
days.
A
H
I
was
oh
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
I
know
you
guys
said
we're
doing
this
a
little
different
I.
The
discussion
I
had
with
them
was
60
days
because
of
the
permitting
process
and
getting
the
permits.
I
made
it
very
clear
to
them
that
if,
within
60
days,
the
I
was
gonna
request
a
fine
of
$100
a
day
to
take
care
of
it
and
based
on
I,
have
this
property
I
have
a
sinkhole
house
next
door
that
I'm
gonna
be
bringing
soon
trying
to
get
those
both
taken
care
of
in
an
expeditious
process.
H
The
other
thing
you
guys
may
have
remembered
when
Harry
clay
taxes
was
up
here
last
year.
This
property
was
given
to
her
husband
and
they
have
sense,
as
they've
been
going
through
the
estate
progressively
they're,
finding
more
and
more
properties
that
he
owns,
but
they
originally
didn't
know
about
man.
He
only
found
out
about
owning
this
property,
probably
about
three
or
four
months
ago,
and
he
also
got
a
right
after
he
found
out.
I
drop
a
Notice
of
Violation
on
him,
so
understanding
your
point.
He
hasn't
known
about
the
property
being
theirs
for
eight
years.
H
It
wasn't
originally
his.
It
was
only
sold
or
kind
of
given
to
quit
claim
deed
to
build
Cletus
prob
about
three
years
ago,
and
then
he
died
about
two
years
ago
and
then,
like
I,
said,
the
family
is
discovering
the
other
property
that's
gonna,
be
before
you
is
the
same
situation.
They
more
or
less
just
found
out
about
this
property
recently.
So
I
don't
know.
If
that
changes
your.
G
H
E
E
A
A
H
We
make
a
motion
is
when
I
I
would
like
after
the
penalty
or
the
guilt
phase
is
taken
care
of
I.
Just
it's.
Okay,
with
the
chairman
I'd,
like
an
opportunity
to
suggest
circumstances
that
may
like
we
discussed
outside,
make
the
board
preview
those
circumstance
you
want
to
do
that
now.
Well,
I
kind
of
did
and
I
would
ask
for
sixty
days
and
a
hundred
dollars
a
day
for
putting
to
compliance
based
on
circumstances.
I
already.
I
I
E
D
E
A
H
You,
mr.
chairman,
a
17000
0
125,
7-eleven
cell
Safford,
the
owner,
is
the
estate
of
mr.
Bill
Lewis
I
was
conducting,
expect
an
inspection
on
February
28
of
an
adjoining
property
next
door
and
observe
the
violations
on
this
property,
which
basically
consisted
of
some
overgrown
grass,
exhibit
number
1
or
photographs
taken
on
February
28th
and
then
the
last
photograph
is
one
I
took
yesterday
when
I
did
the
final
inspection
and
if
you
look
at
the
photographs
as
they
go
around
you'll
see
a
large
tree.
H
The
their
property
is
that
very
overgrown,
grassy
area
kind
of
surrounding
that
large
tree.
Very
they
have
a
large
parcel.
But
the
only
in
question
is
about
a
25
by
25
foot
area
kind
of
behind
the
grill
that
you'll
see
in
the
picture.
The
last
picture
you
can,
you
can
see
the
overgrown
grass
just
a
little
bit
better
and
look
behind
the
grill
when
it
comes
around,
so
the
violations
that
I
cited

H
She
was
asking
for
an

due
to
some
medical
issues
and
things
like
that,
and
we
kind
of
discussed
that
on
March
16th,
the
notice
of
hearing
was
male
first

receipt
and
on
March
29.
The
certified
Notice

Hearing
return

was
received
should
be
noted
for
the
record
that
all
the
property
owners
were
determined
by
the
Pinellas
County
property
appraiser
and
Pinellas
County
tax
collectors
websites
and
all
the
notices
were
mailed
for
those
people
via
that
address
on
March
30th,
the
property
was
posted
and
that's
exhibit
number
four.
H
With
the
affidavit
of
posting
March
11
I
met
with
the
property
owner
Manokotak
as
his
sister.
They
had
again.
They
had
the
contractor
with
them
so
they're
trying
to
coordinate
everything.
They
thought
they
were
going
to
have
this
done
by
today.
Admittedly,
their
notice
was
have
it
done
by
last
night.
I
didn't
go
by
and
look
at
it
today,
so
it
very
well
may
be
done.
H
Just
needs
to
be
mowed
and
trimmed
up
they're
working
on
some
other,
a
whole
host
of
issues
with
that
property
that
hopefully
will
be
taken
care
of
up
to
demolishing
everything
there
or
possibly
rebuilding
the
whole
property.
So
right
now
the
only
case
I
have
before
the
board,
though,
is
the
overgrown
area.
That's.
A
H
Dealt
with
them
numerous
times
this
boards
dealt
with
them.
They've
always
come
into
compliance
with
their
with
their
things.
So
I
have
no
doubt
that
you
know
Manny's
gonna
come
into
compliance
and
probably
a
fairly
short
period
of
time.
Like
I
said
he
was
hoping
to
have
it
all
mowed
and
taking
care
of
yesterday,
but
I
think
it
was
his
contractor
with
attempting
to
arrange
the
landscaping
company,
the
Roloffs
and
those
kind
of
things
and
trying
to
do
both
properties
at
the
same
time,
they're
very
anxious
to
get
them
both
cleaned
up.
G
D
H
If
I
could,
speaking
with
him,
I
was
gonna
ask
the
board
if
they
would
be
willing
to
go
to
May,
24th
or
$100
day.
Fine
I
asked
for
May
24th
only
because
he's
gonna
take
care
of
it
I'm
out
of
town
for
a
couple
of
weeks.
So
if
you
just
went
30
days
on
him,
I
would
actually
be
out
of
town
and
I'd
have
to
push
until
May
24th
to
do
the
inspection,
so
May,
24th
and
$100
a
day
and
I
also
informed
him.

this

October

for
violations
of
the

H
There
were
some
other
ones,
but
the
the
case
I'm
bringing
for
the
board
today
is
852,
which
is
an
overgrown
lot.
My
initial
inspection
was
conducted
on
March
7th
of
this
year.
A

was
overgrown.

Tina
develops,
I
posted
the
property,
came
into
clients
on
March
20th,
so
it
is
currently
in
compliance
and
then
obviously
it
was
still
posted
on
March
30th
and
it
was
when
I
did.
The

it's
a
violation
of
city
code,
the
the
definition
838
under
nuisances,
an
8
40.
My
initial
inspection
in
this
case
started
on
March
8th
of
this
year.
That
was
when
we
were
responded
out.
There's
the
police
department,
the
house
being
shot
30
times
in
a
drive-by
shooting
related
to
the
residents
of
the
house
because
of
some
of
their
drug
activities
and
some
other
activities
that
were
well
published
on
social
media.
This
has
also
occurred
at
this
house.
H
All
of
my
notices
and
return
receipts
are
exhibit
number
one
that
went
around
and
the
administrative
documents
that
some
of
those
administrative
documents
include
police,
briars
and
things
like
that
that
are
related
to
that
address.
The
certified
was
signed
on
March
21st
of
this
year
and
on
March
30th,
the
property
was
posted
in
a
photograph
was
taken,
that's
exhibit
number
three
March
31st
received
a
phone
call.
Behalf
of
the
owner
is
Julie
hull
from
include
Idol.
H
She
handled
the
closing
of
the
property
for
the
for
the
owners
and
they
very
much
wanted
to
cooperate
with
law
enforcement.
At
that
time
we
were
informed
that
they
were
in
the
process
of
doing
the
eviction
and
we
simply
asked
for
documentation
to
show
that
the
eviction
had
been
filed
and
whatnot
probably
wouldn't
had
this
issue.
H
Unfortunately,
that
hasn't
occurred
and
when
I
checked
the
property.
Yesterday,
one
of
the
vehicles
that
house
still
is
working
holes
in
it
is
still
parked
out
front.
The
house
still
has
holes
in
it
from
the
shooting,
and
the
tenants
that
are
the
Nexus
of
the
problem
are
still
at.
This
point
in
time
is
like
the
board
to
find
the.
A
H
I
H
And
you
know,
without
going
into
too
much
it's
not
what
you
know
it's
what
you
can
prove
the
house
becomes
the
Nexus
and
a
lot
of
our
serious
crimes
that
are
occurring
in
that
general
area,
as
I
stated
to
prior
shootings
were
related
to
the
residents
of
that
apartment.
They
be
convicted
or
charged
with
the
crime,
yet
know,
there's
a
nuisance
problem.
If
we
bait
the
nuisance,
I'm,
hoping
that
at
least
those
issues
aren't
occurring
at
that
residence-
and
this
is
a
duplex-
that's
got
two
other
do
as
with
within
close
proximity.
H
One
of
those
rounds
that
went
through
the
house
actually
hit
a
house,
a
block
south
of
that
which
happens
to
be
Lime.
Street
is
this
was
on
Boyer
Street,
which
is
two
blocks
east
of
Ellis
Avenue
so
and,
like
I,
said
in
the
video,
you
can
clearly
see
and
step
up
step
out
with
a
submachine
gun
and
fire
30
rounds
into
the
house,
all
in
retaliation.
F
H
A
It
be
fair
to
say
officer
that
the
city
would
be
would
be
looking
for
a
support
on
the
on
the
violation
so
that,
during
a
penalty
phase,
they
could
put
out
a
penalty
that
would
be
would
prompt
the
current
owners
to
take
the
action
that
the
city
would
hope
they
would
take
as
far
as
evicting
that
the
present
residents,
that
is
correct.
Okay,
so
you
really
you
just
need
you
need
that
the
city
is
looking
for
a
validation
of
the
of
that
charge
so
that
the
penalty
phase
could
be
such
that
would
prompt
an
eviction.

A
K
I
didn't
realize
I've
never
done
this
before
I
have
emailed
pictures
to
myself
of
about
five
trees
that
still
need
to
be
cut
down
because
they
literally
go
right
over
my
roof,
which
is
why
we've
done
this
to
begin
with,
so
through
a
friend
of
a
friend
from
Tampa
I
hired
this
contractor
to
mow
some
trees.
He
said
to
me
because
they're
endangering
your
home
they're
not
required
for
a
permit
and
he
he
went
around
in
slap
trees.
That
said,
if
you
wanted
these
removed,
they
would
require
a
permit.
K
He
charged
me
$700
to
do
this.
Okay,
I
said:
okay,
no
problem,
let's
do
it.
He
came
and
obviously
he's
cutting
these
trees
down
now
and
again.
I
do
have
pictures
of
the
house
is
a
little
over
a
year
old
they
when
they
cut
these
trees.
Now
initially,
they
left
stumps
and
I
have
pictures
that
are
currently
stumps
on
my
property
right
now
that
we
didn't
top.
So
when
he's
when
he's
trimming
these
three
trees,
it
was
three
trees
cut,
one
of
which
was
a
cherry
laurel.
K
So
there's
only
two
live
oaks
that
were
actually
cut
down,
but
when
he
was
doing
this-
and
he
obviously
cut
a
bunch
of
limbs
that
were
around
the
house,
but
when
he
was
doing
this,
he
kicked
till
one.
He
said:
hey,
you
see
these
stumps
someone's
gonna
trip
over
these.
Would
you
like
me
to
remove
them,
so
he
went
and
lowered
about
I.
Think
it's
actually
more
than
six
I'll
be
honest
with
you
and
but
there's
still
four
that
didn't.
K
He
never
did
and
again
you
can
go
to
my
property
and
still
see
them
sitting
there,
these
stumps.
So
you
know,
and
when
the
young
lady
came
with
her
in
park,
a
league,
she
said:
okay,
what
we
could
do
is
or
the
gentleman
said
we
could
find
you
and
put
a
stop
work
order
on
you,
but
we're
not
going
to
do
that.
All
you
have
to
do
is
get
an
after-the-fact
permit.
No
problem,
obviously
never
done
this
before
I
have
no
idea
what
that
cost.
K
I
asked
the
professional
he
said
in
Tampa,
obviously
we're
not
in
Tampa,
but
he
said
in
Tampa
it's
a
couple
hundred
bucks
I
said:
okay,
no
big
deal,
that's
fine.
They
said
we're
gonna.
Take
some
pictures.
We're
gonna
make
some
notes
we'll
be
out
of
your
hair.
You
guys
can
continue
doing
what
you're
doing
had
I
known
that
she
was
going
to
go.
Take
a
picture
of
every
stump.
I
would
have
simply
went
with
her
or
told
her.
What
we
did
I
didn't
realize
it
was
per
tree.
K
I
thought
it
was
a
permit
for
the
whole
job
again,
I've!
Never
done
this.
We
we
have
no
clue
as
regular
homeowners.
You
know
how
this
works.
I'm,
relying
on
someone
telling
a
professional
telling
me
we
don't
need
a
permit.
I
didn't
do
this
myself,
I
hired
someone,
you
know
five
thousand
dollars,
I
mean
do
in
two
and
a
half
weeks.
I
mean
my
wife's
we're
having
a
baby
in
a
month
and
a
half
who
can
afford
to
do
that.
I
mean.
J
G
J
J
There
was
a
sign
and
it
was
wrong,
so
I
took
it
off.
She
comes
in
my
house
knocking
at
7:15.
Let's
call
it
in
the
morning
saying
why
don't
you
have
your
sign
up?
It's
not
right
and
then,
when
I
try
to
ask
her
a
question
she's
like
I'm,
not
gonna.
Do
this,
you
take
it
up
with
the
board.
I'm,
not
gonna.
Do
this
and
then
she
said
if
you
were
going.
If
this
was
we're
regular
homeowners,
we
don't
know
if
you
said
if
you
thought
that
we,
this
is
your
job.
J
If
you
thought
we
were
doing
something
wrong
and
it
stopped
us
say
no,
you
have
to
stop
right
now,
not
we'll
be
out
of
we're.
Gonna.
Take
a
couple.
Pictures
we'll
be
out
of
your
hair.
If
you
have
questions,
take
my
husband
with
you
and
and
explain
what
he
did
to
you,
but
then
she
says
well:
I
assumed
those
were
her
exact
words
I
assumed
that
that's
what
you
cut
and
I
said:
I'm,
not
gonna
pay
over
$5,000,
because
you
assumed
I
mean
I.
J
J
Then
we
are
gonna
need
a
permit,
but
these
are
hanging
over
your
your
roof
and
we
couldn't
afford
to
do
all
of
them
because
there's
a
lot
of
them
that
are,
and
we
were
gonna,
do
it
in
pieces
because
we,
you
know,
we
had
a
lot
of
expenses
moving,
so
we
weren't
gonna.
Do
it
all
at
once.
So
if
if
I
would
have
known,
this
was
gonna
happen,
I
would
have
never
even.
K
A
K
I
didn't
know
it
was
like
a
trial.
I
mean
you
know,
I
didn't
know
how
this
was
gonna,
be
to
be
honest:
I
figured
I
emailed
them
to
myself
figuring
I
can
email
them
to
someone
to
see
them.
I
don't
know.
I
apologized
after
I
saw
the
first
cases
with
pictures.
I
immediately
thought
I
should
have
printed
them
out,
but
I
can
show
you
on
my
phone
right
now.
If
you
like.
K
I
know
sometimes
you
guys
I've
heard,
allow
people
to
replant
trees.
We
currently
have
I
counted
this
morning.
29
live
oaks
on
our
property
right
now,
it's
a
normal.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
property.
We
have
more
trees
on
our
property
than
anyone
around
us
and
again,
I
will
plant
the
two
back
for
four
back
I
mean
you
know.
We
just
can't
afford
anything
like
this.
K
L
K
A
L
K
If
I
can
elaborate
on
that,
it's
an
orange
sign
about
this
big
on
my
front
lawn,
accusing
us
of
something
that
is
inaccurate.
We
did
not
cut
down
six
trees
if
it
said
three
trees,
fine
and
when
we
asked
is
this
required
to
have
this
sign?
Are
we
gonna
get
fine
for
this
one?
They
were
there
that
morning
and
they
said
no,
it's
up
to
the
board,
so
I'm
sure
you
can
understand
why
we
didn't
want
their
new
neighbors
in
the
area.
We
it's
it's
kind.
J
J
I,
have
it
in
my
name:
I
have
it
in
my
phone,
but
he
told
me
he
suggested
that
I
call
the
police
department
the
next
day
if
I
couldn't
come
in
and
I
have
to
work
so
I
couldn't
so
I
called
the
next
day
and
I
spoke
to
officer,
rope
and
I.
He
said
he
was
gonna
find
out
because
he
didn't
know
because
I
was
told
to
put
a
police
report
on
this,
because
it's
unfair
and
I
did
that.
But
he
never
called
me
back.
I
called
three
times:
I
mean
I
called
the
city.
J
K
A
A
A
A
L
A
A
L
L
A
L
B
B
C
Me
jump
in
give
you
a
little
bit
of
direction
here.
It's
not
up
for
you
to
determine
the
amount
of
the
fine
relative
to
the
permitting
here
to
make
one
determination
today
in
one's
dream,
is
only
you're
not
to
count
the
number
of
trees.
It
could
be
one.
It
could
be
five
hundred.
Okay,
you
make
determination
whether
the
violation
exists.
Did
they
cut
down
trees
without
a
permit?
That
would
be
a
violation
section.
C
The
$5,000
is
another
day
that
they're
gonna
get
not
only
the
$5,000
fine
they're,
also
going
to
get
in
whatever
daily
fine
that
you
attach
to
it.
So
they
have
the
right
to
appeal
the
decision
of
this
code
enforcement
board
to
on
the
certain
court,
and
they
also
have
the
right
to
appeal
the
permitting
process
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
C
M
C
There's
no
exception
for
trees
over
the
roof.
There
are
verses,
just
testified.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
they're
over
the
roof
is
not.
They
still
need
to
get
a
permit.
That
may
be
a
justification
to
get
the
permit,
but
they
haven't
gotten
the
permit.
So
the
obverse
is
saying
that
that's
required
under
the
law.
As
for
photographs,
this
is
the
opportunity
for
both
sides
to
present
their
case.
The
city
has
presented
their
case.
The
alleged
violators
have
presented
their
case.
B
L
L
I
And
whether
younger
trees,
we
really
don't
know
whether
or
not
a
good
wind
would
blow
them
down
or
not
a
more
mature
tree.
I
can
see
your
point
of
view,
but
since
these
were
young
trees
by
your
own
testimony,
there's
more
likelihood
that
that
could
have
fallen
on
the
house.
So
based
on
that,
would
you
have
given
them.
L
L
I
G
A
C
It's
a
quasi
judicial
hearing,
it's
not
a
court
of
equity
you're,
not
to
wear
away
the
fairness.
You
need
to
make
sure
that
due
process
is
given.
You
need
to
make
sure
that
the
essential
requirements
of
the
law
have
been
observed,
but
it
is
not.
You
don't
weigh
the
each
ordinance
as
to
whether
or
not
you
agree
with
it.
It's
it's
whether
or
not
there
has
been
a
violation
of
it
so
but
I
think
I
understand
the
questions
that
were
being
asked,
but
I.
C
L
C
C
A
A
K
Would
just
like
to
say
we
obviously
just
spent
all
of
our
money
purchasing
this
home
I
have
29
trees
currently
on
my
property
that
are
10
inches
in
bigger
diameter,
so
big
trees,
I,
don't
have
extra
money
I'm
sure
no
one
does
I
would
not
pay
someone
to
remove
trees
that
did
not
need
to
be
removed,
which
is
why
they're
still
29
on
my
property
I.
Why
would
I
spend
my
money
for
no
reason?
I
mean
I
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say:
I
mean
that's.
What
happened.
K
J
K
J
If,
if
you
knew
you
know,
my
thing
is
as
well
is:
if
you
know
that
I'm
doing
something
wrong,
I,
don't
know
it
and
you
say:
I
could
put
a
stop
order
and
find
you,
but
just
make
sure
you
know,
once
we
leave
here,
you
get
an
after-the-fact
permit
and
we're
like
okay,
we
will
but
then,
a
day
to
later
we
get
the
letter.
You
didn't
even
give
me
a
chance
to
get
an
after-the-fact
permit,
because
you
said
that
this
is
the
after-the-fact
permit
times.
Four,
it's
ridiculous.
J
If
I'm
the
homeowner
I,
don't
know
these
things,
yes
and
I.
Understand
that
there's
a
due
diligence!
That's
why
I
hired
somebody,
but
for
me
to
pay
$5,000
for
four
trees,
I'll
plant,
some
again
on
top
of
my
29
that
I
have
or
you
know
if
you
thought
that
I
was
doing
something
wrong.
You
should
have
said,
stop
stop
right
now!
You
know
and
then
get
the
permit
and
I'll
pay
the
money.
But
don't
tell
me
that
this
is
right
here.
This
is
the
final
amount
$5,000.
This
is
the
permits.
J
K
To
touch
on
that
a
little
further
or
not
and
I
know
you
guys
are
busy,
but
we
could
have
kept
that
day.
She
said,
keep
going
what
you're
doing
we
could
have
cut
down
another
ten.
We
didn't
know
that
we
I'm
charged
per
tree.
You
understand
what
I'm
saying
thank
God.
We
didn't,
but
it
could
have
been
so
much
worse
because
we
just
weren't
given
that
information.
It
was
such
a
awesome
like
chatting
about
other
things
with
these
guys.
It
wasn't
I
did
not
when
I.
K
G
A
A
Well,
I
would
just
point
out
to
the
board
members
to
consider
that
we
that
we've
heard
testimony
there's
a
big
difference
between
six
trees
and
three
trees,
so
we'll
have
to
decide
each
of
us
which
witness
we
feel
gave
testimony,
and
it
was
closer
to
the
truth.
That,
to
me
is
an
issue.
The
fact
that
that.
M
M
D
A
C
Just
so
you
understand
what
has
happened.
The
code
enforcement
board
has
found
a
violation.
You
have
until
April
27
2017
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance.
The
way
that
you
bring
into
compliance
is
obtaining
the
permit.
If
you
fail
to
do
it
by
April
27th,
the
$25
fine
will
be
assessed
for
every
day
that
you
don't
have
the
permit.
C
If
you
have
questions
about
what
happened
at
the
code
enforcement
board
meeting
today,
you
can
speak
to
the
arbors
of
the
code
enforcement
officer
officer,
caste
and
after
the
meeting
in
my
suggestion
is,
is
that
you
probably
will
want
to
go
down
and
talk
to
them
immediately
about
counting
the
number
of
trees
and
maybe
there's
something
that
can
be
reassessed
on
that
aspect.
If
you
don't
feel
like
you
want
to
go
that
way,
you
have
the
option,
as
I
had
mentioned
before,
to
appeal
this
decision
before
the
circuit
court.

So
my
clients
not
contesting
that
there
are
dead
trees
on
the
property.
This
is
something
that
the
arborist
and
I
have
discussed.
She's
sent
me
pictures
there
defend
definitively
our
issues
on
the
property
with
respect
to
the
trees.
The
main
crux
of
the
issue
here
with
respect
to
getting
the
property
in
compliance
is
the
property
owner.
Cynthia
netic
does
suffer
from
advanced
stage
dementia.
N
She
is
underage
court-ordered,
plenary,
guardianship
of
the
person
and
property
in
Pinellas
County
Florida
letters
of
guardianship
were
issued
to
her
daughter
as
the
Guardian
on
November
4th
of
2016
and
I
am
the
attorney
with
respect
to
the
guardianship
in
the
guardianship.
There
is
a
court
restricted
depository,
which
all
monies
that
belong
to
Cynthia
Anita
are
deposited
into.
N
In
order
for
my
client
to
be
able
to
act
for
her
mother
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance,
we
have
to
have
court
approval
so
as
soon
as
receiving
the
information
from
my
client
on
or
about
February
9th
I
did
contact
the
arborist
as
she
stated,
requesting
an
informal
extension
in
order
to
get
the
property
into
compliance
in.
In
the
interim,
her
and
I
discussed
the
matter.
N
She
basically
did
not
believe
that
she
had
the
authority
at
that
time
due
to
the
hazardous
nature
of
the
trees
being
a
persistent
issue
with
damage
to
person
and
property.
My
client,
as
well
as
the
surrounding
property
owners
I,
have
filed
a
petition
that
was
filed
and
I
did
I
do
apologize,
I
did
not
bring
copies,
but
I
did
email.
N
The
documents
which
I
filed
with
the
court,
which
include
the
letters
of
guardianship
as
well
as
the
order
appointing
guardian,
but
there
was
and
I
hope
it's
before
the
board
today,
but
March
third
of
2017
I
did
file
a
petition
for
authority
to
act
with
respect
for
authorization
in
order
to
remove
the
trees.
I
did
have
to
provide
the
court
with
two
quotes
for
the
removal
of
the
trees.
At
this
present
time,
I
had
been
following
up
with
judge
Allen's
judicial
assistant.
N
Unfortunately,
the
way
that
probate
and
guardianship
works
in
Pinellas
County
is
that
you
have
two
layers
of
approval
that
you
must
go
through
before
you
can
get
that
authority.
First,
the
general
magistrate
and
then
to
the
actual
judge.
At
this
point,
it
has
been
over
one
month
since
I
have
filed
that
petition.
We
are
so
diligently
checking
on
that
to
see
when
the
court
enters
it.
N
I
have
absolutely
no
no
belief
that
the
court
will
not
authorize
this
action
again
due
to
the
issues
that
are
present
and
the
violation
we
did
discuss
a
deadline
of
May
31st
in
order
to
come
into
compliance.
I
do
not
think
that
would
be
an
issue.
I
am
very
hopeful
that
the
court
will
enter
the
order,
allowing
my
client
the
authority
to
access
the
funds
prior
to
that
time,
but
in
an
abundance
of
caution,
I
have
requested
until
May
31st
to
get
that
into
compliance.
B
A
E
C
Some
residence,
so
the
property
owner
has
been
found
in
violation
been
given
in
130
3.02,
given
until
May
31st
to
come
into
compliance.
Should
the
property
owner
failed
to
come
into
compliance
within
a
period
of
time,
it's
a
$50
a
day.
Fine,
your
client
also
has
the
opportunity
to
if
it
doesn't
meet
it
within
the
5:31
time
to
come
back
and
petition
the
board
or
reduction
the
fine.
You
have
30
days,
I'm,
sorry
60
days
in
which
to
do
that
from
the
date
that
it's
brought
into
compliance.
H
H
H
H
And
it's
still,
the
building
itself
is
still
in
very,
very
poor
condition.
They've
done
some
cleanup
on
the
property,
but
because
8:40
and
8:50
to
deal
with
clearing
a
lot
and
debris
and
the
structure,
those
two
ordinances,
840
and
852
are
still
in
place.
They
still
do
have
some
trees
on
the
property
that
need
to
be
removed
under
130
302.
So
in
fact
there
are
non-compliance
for
all
of
those
ordinances.
Okay,
so
we
need.
