DURING THE MEETING, I GAVE MISS FIERROS A LETTER EXPLAINING THE VIOLATIONS AND THE FINE AMOUNT MARKED AS VILLAGE EXHIBIT 12. OKAY. BASED ON MY INVESTIGATIONS, THE THE FILES CURRENTLY LACK DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE PROPERTY'S VIOLATION STATUS. AT THE TIME THE LIEN WAS IMPOSED, I TERMINATED THE FINES ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2025 AS A PROPERTY HAS HAD REACHED FULL COMPLIANCE. THE NOTICE OF HEARING FOR NOVEMBER 18TH, 2025, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING WAS HAND-DELIVERED TO MISS FIERROS ON OCTOBER 27TH, 2025 AT 11:30 A.M. MARKED AS VILLAGE EXHIBIT 17.

[00:10:01]
LIEN WAS PLACED, I AM REQUESTING A REDUCTION OF THE ACCUMULATED FINES OF FIVE 521,700 THAT INCLUDES $300 AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FROM THE PREVIOUS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S.I REQUEST ALL VILLAGE EXHIBITS SIX THROUGH 19 BE RECEIVED INTO EVIDENCE. THE VILLAGE INCURRED AN ADDITIONAL 150 IN REASONABLE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AT THE CONCLUSION OF TODAY'S HEARING, MY DIRECTOR AND I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT. BASICALLY TRYING TO GET ADMIN COSTS. OKAY. SHE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AND. OKAY, LET ME ASK YOU, WHEN YOU SAY THAT IT IT WAS NOT CLEAR, CLEARLY DOCUMENTED THAT THE VIOLATIONS EXIST OR CONTINUE TO EXIST. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? I SAW THE EVIDENCE THAT I LOOKED AT. SO WHEN I WENT BACK AND SAW THE TAPE. IT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE EVIDENCE, BASICALLY.
OKAY. THE EVIDENCE PICTURES ARE FROM DECEMBER WHEN THE LIEN WAS IMPOSED WAS IN APRIL. SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN BETWEEN DECEMBER AND APRIL. CORRECT. AND DO WE KNOW.
SO BASICALLY ON YOU QUESTIONED. THE PREVIOUS OFFICER IF IF THAT WAS THE PICTURES TAKEN ON APRIL.
HE SAID NO, HE HAD TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE PHONE. AND BASICALLY STATED THAT IT WAS FROM DECEMBER. AND THEN BASICALLY IT WAS JUST STILL TAKEN INTO EVIDENCE AS FROM WHAT HE SAW. AND THEN I GUESS THE LIEN WAS IMPOSED. OKAY. YEAH. THE LIEN WAS IMPOSED AT 36,750. YES. BUT IT ALSO CONTINUED TO RUN BASED ON THE ORDER. IT WASN'T CAPPED. IT WASN'T OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS AS OF IS IT AS OF TODAY OR AS OF WHEN YOU STOPPED THE. FINE. YEAH. IT'S WHICH WAS STOPPED NOVEMBER 4TH, 2025. NOVEMBER 4TH. YEAH.
SO WHEN SHE CAME IN TO SPEAK WITH ME AND DENA, WE BASICALLY TOLD HER THE ISSUES. SHE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE PROPERTY AND STARTED. OKAY. AND THEN WHEN DID YOU REINSPECT? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE OUT THERE. OCTOBER 20TH. I RE-INSPECTED ON OCTOBER. FOURTH.
NOVEMBER 4TH. HOLD ON. THAT'S WHEN YOU STOPPED THE FINE. SO YOU MUST HAVE. SO ON OCTOBER 2ND. YEAH. AND OCTOBER 20TH, WHICH ARE EXHIBITS 13 THROUGH 16, 16. SO, SO 13 THROUGH 16 SHOW NO VIOLATION. CORRECT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO ACTUALLY YOU COULD STOP AT THE 20TH.
YEAH. THE 20TH BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE IF YOU WERE DOING AN AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DATE, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN AROUND TO IT ON THE FOURTH. SO THE 20TH. BUT YEAH, I WOULD SAY YOUR AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE IS GOING TO SHOW COMPLIANCE ON OCTOBER 20TH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO TELL ME? LET ME JUST SHOW WHAT THE FINES WOULD BE. YEAH. THAT'S TRUE. YOU DIDN'T REALLY GIVE ME A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT. BUT YOU SAID THAT THE FINE WAS 521,700. AND BASICALLY, THE VILLAGE IS LOOKING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. YEAH. SO IT WOULD BE THE $300 FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE PLUS THE 150. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. THAT'S IT. OKAY. SO THAT'S THAT'S REALLY THAT'S GREAT. I MEAN FOR THESE FOLKS. ALRIGHT. COME ON UP AND WE'LL. OKAY. IF YOU'LL RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND,
[00:15:03]
DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD. SOLAMENTE LA VERDAD. OKAY, GOOD. THANK YOU.AND YOUR FULL NAME? IS MARIA ROSARIO. INTO THE. OKAY. AND MISS JAROS. WE HEARD TESTIMONY FROM THE OFFICER AND HE PRESENTED SOME ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT EVIDENCE. AND SO I'M ASKING IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTION TO ANY OF THE PAPER THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO ME. SO. EL TESTIMONIO. DE PARTE DEL OFICIAL, SENOR NARANJO SOBRE EL CASO TOMAR TODAS LAS EVIDENCIAS. PARA HACER UNA DECISION FINAL. USTED ESTA DE ACUERDO CON ESTO ENTENDIA TODO LO EXPLICADO. SI, SI. OKAY, SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, I'LL ACCEPT INTO EVIDENCE THE VILLAGE'S EXHIBIT SIX THROUGH 19. AND JUST LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, I SEE COMPLIANCE.
RECENTLY, BUT WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND OUT ABOUT THE VIOLATIONS? SOY DE LA NUEVA FOTOGRAFIAS DE LA PROPIEDAD. COMO CUMPLIDO CON TODOS LOS LOS LAS VIOLACIONES ESTABAN PUESTOS.
CUANDO USTED SE ENTERA SOBRE LAS MULTAS O SOBRE EL CASO CONTRA LA PROPIEDAD. ESTE. ES UN ESTOY VIVIENDO. Y ENTONCES ESTE LA INFORMACION. ENTONCES AHI SE HACE UN PROBLEMA EN LA CASA OKAY. SO SHE WAS NOTIFIED BY OFFICER NARANJO THE MOMENT THAT AT HER ACTUAL RESIDENCE SHE HAD A PERMIT FOR A NEW ROOF INSTALLATION. SO HER CONTACT INFORMATION REMAINED WITH THE VILLAGE. SO SHE WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THIS IS A RENTAL PROPERTY THAT SHE DOESN'T PHYSICALLY LIVE AT. SO ONCE THAT INFORMATION WAS UTILIZED FROM HER PERMIT APPLICATION OF PHONE NUMBER, DIRECT PHONE NUMBER, SHE WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND THE INFORMATION WAS SHARED. OKAY. AND DO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND LIVE TOGETHER? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JUNTOS, BUT HE NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THE VIOLATION TO YOU AS VIOLATIONS. EN ESTE FUE UN ESTE UNA PERSONA Q YO FUE LA CASA Y EN SU EL PASO POR EL CAMINO, POR LA CALLE Y ME VEO. ENTONCES EL MÉDICO Q Q Q COMO SE LLAMA Q PLACA Y ENTONCES PERO YO PORQUE ENTONCES EL ME DIJO SOLO. NO NO ERA NECESARIO PARA LA CERCA SOLO GUITAR. ESE CARRO Q NO TIENE PLACA. SO HER HUSBAND WASN'T NOTIFIED NEITHER HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION. FROM WHAT SHE CAN RECALL THERE WAS JUST ONE INCIDENT WHERE SHE WAS ASKED TO REMOVE ONE VEHICLE, AND THE ONLY WAY THAT SHE WAS NOTIFIED WAS BECAUSE SHE HAPPENED TO BE AT THAT PROPERTY TRYING TO FIX OR REPAIR THE FENCE IN FRONT, AND SHE DOESN'T RECALL WHO SHE SPOKE WITH, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO REPAIR THE FENCE JUST TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE. AND THAT WAS WHAT SHE DID. OKAY. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THAT WAS? YES. I DON'T RECALL THE YEAR, BUT IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. AND YOU HAVE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR YOUR HUSBAND EVEN THOUGH HE OWNS THE PROPERTY. USTED TIENE EL AUTORIZACION PARA HABLAR SOBRE LA PROPIEDAD. AUNQUE ES EL BUENO DE LA PROPIEDAD. SI YO TENGO LA. YO REPRESENTADO. YES, I DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REPRESENT HIM. MY HUSBAND CURRENTLY HAS CANCER AND HE'S UNABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON, BUT I HAVE AUTHORIZATION TO BE HERE ON HIS BEHALF. RIGHT. OKAY. AND
[00:20:05]
I THINK LET ME HEAR FROM THE DIRECTOR IF I IF I CAN MISS. AUMENTO Y LUEGO DESPUÉS DE ESO SU ORDEN. OKAY. AND YOU CAN JUST CLOSE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO PROBABLY TRANSLATE SOME OF THIS OKAY. OKAY. AND MR. FREEMAN, IF YOU RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TESTIMONY ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. SO HELP YOU GOD? I DO, AND YOUR FULL NAME AND YOUR. MY NAME IS DINA FREEMAN. I'M THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR, INCLUDING CODE COMPLIANCE. OKAY. AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE? YES. OKAY. AND AND BASED ON YOUR FAMILIARITY, ARE YOU SATISFIED THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO BASICALLY RELINQUISH ANY OF THE FINE COMPONENT IN THIS CASE? YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I THINK WE MAKE SURE THAT MR. FERRER KNOWS WHAT MR. FREEMAN SAID IS THIS. DEPARTAMENTO PARA ASEGURARSE DE ACUERDO CON TODA LA EVIDENCIA PRESENTADO HOY ESTA DE ACUERDO CON TODO USTED HA HECHO A LA PROPIEDAD PARA ASEGURAR LAS VIOLACIONES FUERON RESOLVIDOS. SO A PARTE DE ESO FUE EL UNICO. DIRECTOR CONFIRMATION. OKAY, SO THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY BECAUSE I AM GOING TO FORGIVE THE FINE, BUT I'M GOING TO CHARGE YOU FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, WHICH WERE $300 BACK IN 2020 AND AND THEN $150 FOR THIS HEARING. SO IT'S A TOTAL OF $450. OKAY. BUT BUT NOT 521,700. SO. ORDENAR FINALMENTE ES EN LOS TRATAMIENTOS DOLORES DEL PRIMER CASO. INICIADO APARTE DE ESO OTROS CINCUENTA ADMINISTRATIVO COSTO DE ESTE CASO ACTUAL SON TOTAL CUATROCIENTOS DOLARES.QUINIENTOS 21 QUINIENTOS 20 DOLARES Q FUERON MULTIDOSE COMPLETAMENTE EN LA PROPIEDAD.
SO MALTA COMPLETO DE LA. OKAY. VERY GOOD. AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING FURTHER THAT WE NEED TO HEAR IN THIS CASE. RIGHT. ANYBODY KNOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HI. YOU'RE EXCUSED AND I WILL THE ORDER I'LL WRITE AN ORDER AND GET IT TO YOU. OKAY. GOOD. THANK YOU. NOW, ONCE THE FINES ARE, THE ADMIN COSTS ARE PAID. THAT'S WHEN THE LIEN WOULD. YES. AND JUST FOR CLARITY, THERE IS A LIEN ON YOUR PROPERTY FOR $521,700. THE THE LENA'S FOR $521,700. IT WILL BE RELEASED AND RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MARTIN COUNTY. AFTER YOU PAY THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. SO YOU HAVE TO PAY THOSE FIRST. AND THEN AND THEN THE VILLAGE CAN RELEASE THE. THE LIENS. OKAY. UNA VOLTA DE UN TOTAL DE QUINIENTOS $21 MILLION CON QUINIENTOS 21 MIL CIENTOS. FUERON IMPUESTOS EMBAJADOR A LA PROPIEDAD ACTUALMENTE. PERO EL VENGA Y CUMPLIR CON LA VAN A HACER CUATROCIENTOS CINCUENTA DOLLARS IN TOTAL, CUANDO USTED ES LA CANTIDAD DE DINERO. ENTONCES LO VAMOS A HACER UNA PARTE DE LA MUNICIPALIDAD ES DE GUITAR. ESOS IMPUESTOS FUERON EMBAJADORES LIMPIO. OKAY. SO ES LO QUÉ SE PUEDE HACER. PERO USTED TIENE CUMPLIR CON ESE COSTO PRIMERO. OKAY. AS SOON AS SHE'S NOTIFIED ABOUT WHEN SHE CAN MAKE PAYMENTS SHE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE PAYMENT. OKAY. GREAT. OKAY. GRACIAS. OKAY.
GOOD LUCK. LATER. OKAY. BACK TO THE TOP OF THE BATTING ORDER. NEXT CASE IS 25 112 FOR THE PROPERTY AT 14 828 SOUTHWEST 1/73 AVENUE IN. THE OWNERS ARE LEONARDO AND GEORGINA LOPEZ.
[00:25:13]
YES. SO REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE. YEAH. CONTINUANCE TILL MARCH 17TH. ON THIS CASE, THERE'S A THERE'S A LAWSUIT PENDING THAT I GUESS HE HAS TO KEEP THE INOPERABLE CRASH VEHICLES UNTIL THE LAWSUIT IS FINISHED. I KNOW HE HAS A NEXT HEARING DATE, I THINK MARCH 4TH. HE TOLD ME AND SHOWED US DOCUMENTATION. SO I JUST PUT IT TO COME BACK MARCH 17TH TO DO THE FOLLOW UP. OKAY.AND HE'S STORING THE THE CRASHED VEHICLE. YES. THERE'S TWO CRASH VEHICLES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN A IN AN ACCIDENT. OKAY. YEAH. SO HE PROVIDED BASICALLY LETTERS FROM HIS LAWYER OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW, MOST FOLKS DO THAT AT THE JUNKYARD AND. YEAH. OKAY. I MEAN. MAYBE THE VILLAGE MAY HAVE. A VIEW OF THAT, AND I'M I'M WILLING TO CONTINUE IT OUT. IT'S JUST THAT'S NOT TYPICAL. YOU. DEENA FREEMAN. SO WE HAVE MET WITH THE THE FATHER AND SON ON THE PROPERTY, AND WE REQUESTED THE LEGAL CONFIRMATION OF EVIDENCE TO DEMONSTRATE WHY THE CARS ARE STORED ON THE PROPERTY. THE EVIDENCE ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT NOT MOVING THE VEHICLES SO REMAINING WHERE THEY'RE AT. SO WE CAN KIND OF GET INTO A LEGAL KIND OF SITUATION. HE WAS VERY UPSET. HE'S BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT INFORMATION IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON THIS CASE. AND SO WE WERE TRYING TO THERE IS SOME INFORMATION I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE PROVIDED IT AS EVIDENCE, BUT THERE'S INFORMATION AND THEN BACKGROUND TO THE STORY THAT I COULD EXPAND ON. BUT THERE WAS A VERY HEIGHTENED LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION WITH STAFF FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF HOW IT'S BEEN DEALT WITH. AND SO WE WERE TRYING TO DIFFUSE. HE HAS COVERED UP THE VEHICLES. HE WAS TOLD IF HE DID THAT IN THE PAST, THAT THAT WOULD BE OKAY. WE'VE GONE OUT THERE AS CODE COMPLIANCE AND SAID THIS IS NOT OKAY, AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE BACK STORY, BUT ALSO SOME OF THE INFORMATION LEGALLY. SO WE'VE HAD TO MAKE A KIND OF JUDGMENT BASED ON NOT BEING THE PREVIOUS CASE OFFICERS, BECAUSE THERE WAS MULTIPLES. AND ALSO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED. AND HE WAS HE WAS HE WAS FEELING VERY PICKED ON BECAUSE HE COMPLIED WITH WHAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AS A, AS A INTERIM WHILE THIS CASE IS RESOLVED. SO WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING WHERE IT'S KIND OF HEARSAY, BUT ALSO RESPECTING THAT THERE IS AN END DATE FAIRLY SOON COMPARED TO WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IT'S BEEN STORED. SO YES, YOU HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION. YES I HAVE, I COULD PRINT IT OUT HERE IF YOU LIKE OR. YEAH, I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT IT IS THAT SAYS, OH, YOU GOT TO STORE IT ON YOUR PROPERTY AND CAN'T MOVE IT. AND. I'M. I MEAN, THAT'S SO UNUSUAL THAT. BECAUSE USUALLY THEY GO RIGHT TO THE. JUNKYARD AND IT'S NOT UNUSUAL THAT THEY'RE HELD, YOU KNOW, FOR EVIDENCE IN THE LAWSUIT. IT'S JUST CURIOUS THAT THEY. YEAH. BUT I THINK THERE'S.
YEAH. SO HE THE THEY ALSO SAY THEY WANT IT OFF THE PROPERTY, BUT I GUESS THEY'RE SAYING THEY CAN'T FROM THE LAWYER SUPPOSEDLY. BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW, THE LEGAL THING WE KIND OF DON'T. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I USED TO DO THIS KIND OF LAW. AND SO I, I'M TRYING TO PICTURE A LAWYER SAYING IT'S NOT JUST THE LEGAL ELEMENT, IT'S THE ADVICE THAT WAS PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE AT SOME POINT THEY WERE BEING BY THE VILLAGE STAFF WERE SAYING, COVER UP INOPERABLE VEHICLES AND WE'LL BE OKAY. AND AND THIS IS NOT JUST ONE GENTLEMAN SAYING THAT WE'VE HAD THAT MULTIPLE PLACES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WORK WITH PEOPLE RATHER THAN IGNORE ADVICE THAT THEY'VE BEEN GIVEN. IF I CAN'T SEE IT, IT'S OKAY. YOU DRIVE AROUND, YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT AND I, I YEAH, I WAS QUITE SHOCKED BY IT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SAYING WE'RE THE SAME DEPARTMENT, JUST DIFFERENT STAFF. SO WE'VE GOT TO TRY AND STILL GET PEOPLE INTO COMPLIANCE, BUT ALSO RESPECT THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE WRONG ADVICE OKAY. AT
[00:30:06]
SOME POINT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO DAMAGE CONTROL. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT TAKES MUCH MORE EXPLANATION THAN I CAN'T SEE IT RULE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT WHAT THE LAWYER IS SAYING THOUGH. I MEAN THERE MAY THERE I CAN ENVISION THERE COULD BE SOME REASON NOT TO MOVE IT, BUT BUT DID THE ACCIDENT OCCUR THERE? I DON'T REALLY KNOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.JUST GIVE ME A SECOND HERE TO THANK YOU. ALL. GIVE ME A COPY. IF YOU HAVE A FEW MORE. YEAH.
THIS IS TO REFRAIN FROM DESTRUCTION OF THE EVIDENCE AND PRESERVE SUCH EVIDENCE. THAT'S.
AT THIS TIME, OUR CLIENT'S REQUEST, THE APPROPRIATE PARTIES PRODUCE AND PERMIT OUR CLIENTS. AND SOMEONE ACTING IN OUR CLIENT'S BEHALF TO INSPECT AND PHOTOGRAPH YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE BEFORE ANY REPAIRS ARE MADE TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE. THAT'S TYPICAL. WE ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU PROVIDE THE LOCATION OF YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE, AND PERMIT THIS OFFICE TO INSPECT AND PHOTOGRAPH THE VEHICLE BEFORE ANY DAMAGE IS REPAIRED OR THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS SALVAGE. THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL. OKAY.
OKAY, I AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER. LETTER FROM. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE. AND THIS WAS OCTOBER OF 23. AND THIS IS AUGUST 25TH OKAY. ALL RIGHT I YOU PROBABLY COULD REQUIRE THEM TO. TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE EVIDENTIARY VALUE FOR A LAWSUIT. IN MARCH THAN IT HAS TODAY. AND ARE YOU ASKING FOR THE MARCH DATE OR ARE THEY? WE ARE BASICALLY BECAUSE JUST TO GIVE THEM TIME TO SEE IF THE CARS WILL BE REMOVED AFTER.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO CONTINUE IT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT HERE. YEAH. AND AND YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T REQUIRE THEM TO BE HERE AND THAT'S FINE. BUT BUT I DON'T I DON'T SEE IT. I MEAN NOT BASED ON WHAT I'M LOOKING. IF, IF THERE WAS AN ORDER FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT THAT SAID DON'T TOUCH THOSE VEHICLES, WE WANT TO EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE INSPECTED ON SITE AND THAT SORT OF THING. BUT MY GUESS IS THAT AFTER THE CRASH, WHICH PROBABLY DIDN'T OCCUR AT THIS LOCATION, I DON'T KNOW, SOMEBODY DRAGGED THEM THERE BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER TO DO THAT THAN LEAVE THEM IN THE JUNKYARD. SO WHICH IS NOT A VALID REASON FOR THE VILLAGE TO HAVE TO INCUR TWO JUNK VEHICLES THAT THEY WERE GIVING INCORRECT ADVICE ON HOW
[00:35:04]
THEY COULD BE DESTROYED AND NOT GOING AFTER THAT. YES. AND I'M I'M WILLING TO CONTINUE THAT UNTIL IT CAN BE SORTED OUT. BUT I DON'T. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT MARCH REALLY. THAT'S A LONG TIME. IT'S FOUR MONTHS. LET'S. WHAT DATE WOULD YOU. THAT CASE PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE OVER IN FOUR MONTHS. IF WE GO, LET'S GO TO JANUARY, JANUARY AND I'M GOING TO RESET IT FOR THE JANUARY 19TH HEARING. 20TH JANUARY 20TH. SORRY. YEP. JANUARY 20TH HEARING. AND YOU YOU MIGHT TELL THEM THAT. THAT I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE IDEA OF LEAVING JUNK VEHICLES AS EVIDENCE FOR A LAWSUIT ON THEIR PROPERTY, WHEN IN FACT IT COULD BE STORED AT A JUNKYARD.OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I'M GOING TO CONTINUE IT TO. JANUARY 20TH, 2026. THAT'LL GET THEM THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. AND THEY CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. BUT YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM. YEAH I WILL THAT THAT SAYS. THE MAGISTRATE'S NOT FEELING GREAT ABOUT IT OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT CASE IS. 25 SAYS T 25. WHAT IS THAT? I'M PUTTING T ON ON THESE NEW CASES BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE USING TYLER NOW. SO. OKAY. YEAH WE HAVE OTHER CASES THAT ARE 25 OR YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SO JUST SO YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE IT IS. YEAH. SO IT'S JUST UNTIL 2026. THEN I'LL TAKE THE T OFF. OKAY. SO THIS IS A TYLER CASE 2025 0002 OKAY. AND IT'S FOR THE PROPERTY AT 14 855 SOUTHWEST SEMINOLE DRIVE. AND. OWNERS ARE I CAN'T TELL BY LOOKING AT THAT. WHO'S WHO. FRANCISCO CURRENTS AND FRANCESCA MENDEZ MENDOZA. YES.
MENDEZ AND MENDOZA. YEP. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR A 60 DAY CONTINUANCE. AND THIS IS A TRASH AND STORAGE. YEAH. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH THEM ON THE SUBMITTAL OF THE PERMITS AND DOING A HOME BASED BUSINESS. OKAY. AND SO THEY ALSO REQUIRE PERMITS AND SEE. YEAH, THEY DID A DRIVEWAY. WITHOUT PERMITS. OKAY. SO AFTER THE FACT. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S FINE. SAME 60 DAYS. I'LL CONTINUE IT. ALL RIGHT. AND THE NEXT ONE IS 25 0005 FOR THE PROPERTY AT 14989 SOUTHWEST 1/73 DRIVE. AND YOU'RE ASKING A 30 DAY CONTINUANCE. THIS IS OUTDOOR STORAGE AND TRASH AND ABANDONED VEHICLE. YES. SO WE MET WITH THEM AND THEY'VE STARTED REMOVING THE TRAILERS. THE TRASH. BUT THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ON SCREENING SCREENING THE PROPERTY AND DOING A HOME BASED BUSINESS. OKAY. SO 30 DAYS SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH.
ALL RIGHT, I, I DON'T HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY WITH THAT EITHER. ARE THEY ARE THEY MOVING ALONG TO GET RID OF THE OUTDOOR STORAGE AND TRASH? YEAH, THEY WERE GETTING RID OF IT WHEN WE MET WITH THEM. OKAY. THE TRASH AND EVERYTHING WAS BASICALLY REMOVED. OKAY. GOOD. ALL RIGHT.
SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO DECEMBER 16TH. NEXT CASE IS T 25 0006. IT'S FOR THE PROPERTY OF 14574 SOUTHWEST LAKE DRIVE. AND THAT'S IN INDIAN WOOD. SO WE KNOW THAT INDIAN WOOD OWNS THE LAND AND THEY OWN THE DWELLING. YOU'RE ASKING FOR A 30 DAY CONTINUANCE ON THAT CASE AND THAT'S A PERMIT CASE. YEAH. THEY ALREADY SUBMITTED THE PERMITS. WE'RE JUST WAITING ON
[00:40:01]
APPROVAL. OKAY. AND WHAT IS IT FOR PLUMBING THAT THEY WERE DOING A BUNCH OF PLUMBING WITHOUT PERMIT FOR NEW HOMES COMING IN. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO AGAIN, I'LL FIND IT. IT'S REASONABLE TO REQUIRE THEM TO GET THE AFTER THE FACT PERMIT WITHIN 30 DAYS OR COME TO A HEARING. THE NEXT ONE IS 25 099 FOR THE PROPERTY AT 15249 SOUTHWEST FOX STREET. AND THIS IS. THE OWNER IS LEGACY MORTGAGE ASSET TRUSTS 2017 PDL TWO US BANK. AS THE NATIONAL US BANK TRUST IS THE NATIONAL I'M SORRY US BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION IS THE TRUSTEE.OKAY. AND THIS IS SO THIS WAS A SO IT WOULD BE 60 DAY CONTINUANCE. THIS ONE THE PROPERTY ACTUALLY JUST SOLD. THE NEW OWNER CAME IN. HE HAS BEEN GETTING RID OF ALL THE TRASH OUTDOOR STORAGE, ABANDONED VEHICLES. HE'S ACTUALLY DONE A LOT OF WORK. IT BY 60 DAYS. HE SHOULD BE IN FULL COMPLIANCE. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO BASED ON THE FACT THAT THAT IT'S A NEW OWNER AND AND PROBABLY THE OWNER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS.
RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND EXTEND THAT OUT 60 DAYS UNTIL JANUARY 20TH. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT COMPLIANCE CASES. LET'S SAY YOU GOT 123456 COMPLIANCE CASES. YEAH I LOOKED AT THE DOCKET AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THAT WAS GOOD. ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING ELSE. NO. THAT COME BEFORE US OKAY I'M GOING TO SIT HERE. I'VE GOT THE THE BLANK ORDERS. SO I'M, I WE WE CAN END THE HEARING. I'M GOING TO CALL FOR US TO ADJOURN NOW. AND THEN I'LL. I'LL DO THE ORDERS. OKAY. FOR THE CONTINUANCE. THANK YOU,
