Welcome to Pinellas County Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearings. The special magistrate is charged with conducting hearings to determine whether an alleged violation of the county code has occurred. In order to meet that obligation, all parties or their representatives will be allowed an opportunity to be heard on matters relevant to the alleged violation or violations. All witnesses offering testimony or presenting true evidence will be required to swear or affirm that the testimony they provide is the truth. The order of presentation begin with the county presenting their evidence of the alleged violation of violations, and then the respondent shall present his or her case. Both parties shall have an opportunity to cross-examine all witnesses. The special magistrate may question any witness. The clerk will announce the names of the cases from the agenda. When you hear your case called, please respond by coming to the podium with your representative and or any witnesses to be sworn in. When addressing the special magistrate, please speak clearly into the microphone. Any person who decides to appeal the decision of the code enforcement special magistrate with respect to any matter considered at this hearing will need a record of the proceedings, and for such purposes may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is based. Such record is not provided by Pinellas County. Item number seven, department code enforcement, matter, minimum housing code violation, trash and debris code violation, zoning code violation, case number CCM-26-00010, officer B. Hughes, owner Stover Joan L., notice address Stover Joan L., 10206, 117th Drive, Largo, Florida, 33773, and B. Hughes, Special Magistrate Officer, and B. Hughes, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756, B. Hughes at Pinellas.gov, violation address, 10206, 117th Drive North, Largo, Florida, 33773. Hi, morning. Are you Joan Stover? Yes, sir. And Officer Hughes, if you could state your name for the record. Oh, Officer Hughes. I presume just, you're not going to testify, are you? Great. Okay, you can stand there, that's okay. Ms. Stover, Officer DeVoff, if you could raise your right hand. Do you swear, affirm, that any testimony you give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? Yes, I do. I understand, is it stipulation? Yes, sir. Officer, it's my understanding that from the stipulation I'm looking at that there was five different violations and that these have been resolved by compliance within, by May 9th, 2026, by 5 p.m. If not to be a fine of $100, that fine will be abated if you get compliance by May 9th, and that'll be the same for, that's minimum housing, the same for the trash and debris, the zoning accessory dwelling, the outdoor storage, and the fence. The only difference is the accessory structures is a finding of fact request. For the record, yes, you're correct. My apologies. Violation regarding the zoning accessory dwelling has been admitted that it was in violation, but it's in compliance now. So it's just the four other violations. Yes, sir. Okay. Anything else, officer? No. They have been working toward compliance. It's improving, and so that's why we're giving them time to go ahead and come into compliance, and the accessory dwelling violation is already in compliance. Okay. Ms. Dover, do you understand what you've agreed to? Okay. If you have any problems or anything, you have the officer's contact information? You could call or your grandson could call? He said he needs to. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Then I'm accepting the stipulation, and I'll enter an order. You're all set. Put these here as we do them. Perfect. Nicole, I'll put them in order right here. Okay. What's next? Item number nine. Nine. Stay, I got it right in order. How about that? You're all set. You'll get it off. I'll read these. Bye. Just give me one second here. Good, I'm ready. Item number nine, department code enforcement matter, right-of-way code violation, case number CCM-26-00016, officer D. Duvall, owner, McAuliffe Joseph, McAuliffe Stephanie. Notice address, McAuliffe Joseph, McAuliffe Stephanie, 2315 Campbell Road, Colorado, Florida, 33765-1504, and D. Duvall, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Colorado, Florida, 33756, D. Duvall at Pinellas.gov. Violation address, 2315 Campbell Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33765. Joseph, am I saying this right, McAuliffe? McAuliffe. McAuliffe, okay. And Stephanie? McAuliffe? Yes. Okay. Officer, if you could put your name on the record. Officer Duvall. Both three of you could raise your right hands. Do you swear, affirm, that any testimony we give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Officer, why don't you explain what the agreement is, and we'll see if it's okay. We had a right-of-way situation. Their property is located on the corner of Campbell Road and Old Coachman Road. They had constructed a back entrance driveway that led into the back area of their home. The property is now almost in compliance. They have removed the driveway. They did request from the county a special, I don't want to call it a variance, but they did ask if they could have the driveway, and the right-of-way and stormwater people denied that. Got it. And so he has removed it. And there is just some final detail work that needs to be done with some possible additional grading and putting some sod down. He is going to work with Sean Tipton, who is the manager for right-of-way issues. I do have some photos if you'd like to see them, magistrate. I'm not sure if you want to see them. Not at this point. So he has contact information for Mr. Tipton. He is going to contact him and find out any particulars that need to be done. And we are going to call this then complete at that time. But he still has a little more work to do. So what you've agreed to is a 45 days? Okay, that would make it April 23rd, 2026, and there's a fine of $100 a day. However, that fine is abated as long as there's compliance within that period of time. Correct. Is that your understanding, Mr. Collins? That is. Okay. If you have any problems before then, you really want to contact her, you can come back and seek additional time if you had to or something like that. I don't think so. Okay. Then I'll sign the order in accordance with those terms. And they're not getting it today, are they? No, we'll send them through the mail. Just put it out in the mail to you. Okay. Okay? Thank you. Good luck. Can you guys have my contact number? We do. Thank you so much. So we have any problems? Anything pops up just right now. We'll see you soon. All right. Take care. Thank you. Bye. Have a great day. Can you pay me? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Perfect. And then we'll just put it in the system and it'll be processed. You're welcome. Have a great day. Yeah, whenever you want to. Okay. What number is it? Number six. Thank you. Item number six, department, code enforcement, matter. Are you going to read all of these or? Is it six? Yeah, you said six. Okay, go ahead. I'm trying to make it easier for you. Yeah, make it easier for me. What do you need to do? Read it off and read the first named respondent. We have a stipulation, so. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't want you to have to read 20 of them. Okay. Thank you. Item number six, department, code enforcement, matter. No noise ordinance, code violation. Case number CCM-26-00008. Officer B.

Yeah. Okay. And you have authority to act on their behalf today? So let me just go through the list. There's a lot of, there was a lot of witnesses, William Frayne, Deborah Frayne. These are Jordan Ganey, Blake Hebel. These were all witnesses that you would have brought. Okay. And I see that's the same, the same. And there's, so there's, there's no one else, I think. I think we're fine. Okay. You have full authority to sign on their behalf. Officer Hughes, just briefly explain what's going on here and what the agreement was. Yes, sir. Hold on one second. Officer, raise your right hand. If you raise your right hand. Do you, both of you swear or affirm that any evidence you give today would be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. I do. Go ahead, Officer. Explain me. Yes, sir. So this is a short-term rental and some of the folks that had rented it on January 16th basically turned it into a house party. The deputies were called and they were, what the deputies did, up to 75 people. Um, at one point, um, there was a lot of yelling and screaming and shouting. Um, however, um, we con, I contacted, um, Mr. Hartanto, um, the following, um, Monday or Tuesday. Um, and, um, we have not had any issues since. We're requesting just a one-time Loudon Rock is fine of, um, $500 and we're just hoping that it'll continue to stay in compliance. And the cost, right? And cost, yes, sir. This was under Code 50, uh, Code Section 58, there's 444. You had two affidavits by neighbors complaining, those kind of things? Yes, I actually had, I think, four or five affidavits and the deputy's testimony. Um, Mr. Hartanto, did you understand all of that? You know what you're agreeing to? You're agreeing to a fine for $500. And, um, if, um, you have any questions at all for the officer? Okay. All right. Then I'm going to, um, consider the matter, settle and enter an order, uh, according to those terms, and I guess you'll get that order in the mail. Is that correct? Yes. What, what address would you like to use, sir? 11603, Suite Dangerine Lane. Right, we, we have that. Okay. All right. You got that? All right. You got that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Violation address, 1742 Owen Drive, Clearwater, Florida, 33759. Good morning. Could you both please state your name for the record? An officer, if you could put your name on the record. Officer DeVall. If the three of you could raise your right hand, do you swear, affirm, that any testimony we'll give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Okay. I'm going to let the officer tell me. I think you've got two agreements and a finding of fact on the third violation. That is correct. We have a finding of fact on the inoperable vehicle that has been complied. It is displaying. It's for an RV. It is displaying a current tag. We have a couple of zoning violations. 13890 for the use of a, we've got a work shed that has been converted to an accessory dwelling unit without a zoning clearance. They do know, we've discussed at length with what they need to do to bring that into compliance. And then 1383220 is also the RV being used as an accessory dwelling, which is not permitted. And they are well aware of what they need to do to bring everything into compliance. We've discussed everything. So what we have here is a finding of fact on the inoperable vehicle, just to show on the record that it is correct. It was in violation, but it's been corrected now. And then there'll be compliance on the two zoning matters for by in 15 days, which is April 23rd, 2025. 45 days. I'm sorry. 45 days. Oh, I'm sorry. It's March. April. 45 days. Yes. I said 25. My apologies. 45 days. Yep. Otherwise, there's a $100 a day fine. That fine becomes abated if complies within that time. Correct. Is that your understanding of the agreement? Yes. Both of you. Okay.

Item number three, department code enforcement matter, commercial minimum housing code violation. Case number, CCM-26-00014, officer D. Duvall, owner, Athos Corp. Notice address, Athos Corp. 2465 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33759-1368, and Phillips David R. Esquire, registered agent for Athos Corp. 1-9-3-2-1, U.S. Highway 19 North, Suite 301, Clearwater, Florida, 337-6-4, and Farron Totos, Nicole A., CEO, chairman, and president of Athos Corp., 2465 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33759-1368, and Farron Totos, Barbara A., director of Athos Corp., 2465 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33759-1368, and Brian Charlene, director of Athos Corp., 2465 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33759-1368, and D. Duvall, special magistrate officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, Clearwater, Florida, 33759-1368, D. Duvall, at Pinellas.gov, violation address, 28870, U.S. Highway 19 North, Clearwater, Florida, 33761. Your name, sir? Eric Cartmel. Eric, your last name? Cartmel. Could you spell that, sir? C-A-R-T-M-E-L. In relation to Athos? Maintenance manager. And magistrate, we have a notarized affidavit from the owners of the business. Oh, did I see that? Yes. I'll get you out of here, sir. Not a problem. But while she's looking for that, we can do this, and we'll hold up until she has it. Officer, your name for the record, please. Officer Duvall. If you could both please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm that any testimony you'll give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Okay, Mr. Cartmel, you state your maintenance person over for Athos? Yes. Did you get their authority to come here today? Yes. Apparently there's an affidavit we have on file. Yes, we do. As you're looking for that, officer, why don't you tell me what the situation is? All right. This particular property up on U.S. 19 is a commercial structure, multi-story building that is vacant. And we had some commercial minimum housing, 22-231, some issues with a couple issues with the structure itself, some little bit of repair that needs to be done on some exterior walls and the ceiling area of their overhang where they have their parking. And then a lot of grounds maintenance needs to be done. They did do a little bit of cleanup. I do acknowledge the fact that they took out a lot of tires. They had some dumping that they were unfortunately victims of, which they did get rid of the tires. But we do have some homeless activity in the little wooded areas around their parking lots. So I did review with them. I showed them photos of my most recent visit and explained everything that needed to still be taken care of out of the property. And they acknowledged that it certainly would be. The cleanup was the easy part. The structural issues, some of the maintenance on the exterior walls will need a little bit more time. So we agreed on a 60-day time frame. Okay. Mr. Cartmel, you understand that you have 60 days to complete the repairs? Okay. If not, there will be a fine of $250 a day. That fine will be abated. It goes away as long as there's compliance. If for any reason you're having problems or something, do you have the contact information for the officer? Yes, sir. Good. Officer, have you seen the affidavit from Athos? I have not. For the statement. If you could take a look at that. I'm going to put that into evidence for the respondent. I'm going to put this into evidence. Do you have any objection to that? It's for your benefit. Okay. We're going to have this marked R1 and put it into evidence. Any questions, sir? No, sir. Thanks for coming. And I'll enter an order. You'll get it in the mail. And what address do you want the order to go to? You can put it there, right there. 2-4-6-5-North McMullen. Bring me on the joint. This is, the order goes to 2-4-6-5-North McMullen. We don't have the north on there. Okay? Perfect. Thank you. You're welcome. This goes with this. It's not here. You are terrible. You told me that. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. This is R1. Yes. Okay, bye. Do we do this lawyer case? Yes. Where we're going? The next one. Did you not see the team is seeing it? No, I did not. 11. Wait, hold on. 11? 11. 11. Oh, that's it. It's the next one. I haven't done the other ones yet. Oh. You ready, Mitch? I'm ready, yeah. Okay. I don't have anything on my screen, but that's okay. I'm sorry? I don't. Did my screen just go dead or should I? Oh, there it is. Oh, it is. Okay. Okay. Just in case they had any. I don't think there's going to be a document. Go ahead. You can call. Item number 11, Department Code Enforcement. Matter, respondents' objection to affidavit of noncompliance. Case number CCM-25-00085. Officer D. DeVall, owner, Redmark Real Estate, Inc. Notice address, Redmark Real Estate, Inc. 1275, Cediva Circle North, Clearwater, Florida, 33755-1144. And Mark A. Redinger, registered agent for Redmark Real Estate, Inc. 1275, Cediva Circle North, Clearwater, Florida, 33755-1144. And Mark A. Redinger, president for Redmark Real Estate, Inc. 1275, Cediva Circle North, Clearwater, Florida, 33755-1144. And D. DeVall, special magistrate officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756. D. DeVall at Pinellas.gov. Violation address, 15448 Avalon Avenue, Clearwater, Florida, 33760. And is this Mark Redinger? No, Mr. Redinger is in the back here. He has some significant physical limitations. Okay, no problem, I just put, but he's present, okay. Okay, and this gentleman to your left? This is Mike, he's, Mike, I don't know your last name, I'm sorry. He's more or less his caretaker. Oh, okay. So you're going to testify? Probably not, right? No, sir. Okay. And your name, sir? Ben D. Byrne. Ben? Yes, sir. And spell the last name, please. D-E-B-E-R-G. And you represent Redmark Real Estate? Yes, sir. Well, what's your understanding, then, of what the agreement is? We are not here to contest it. We are hoping that you would allow an additional 45 days. They are making some progress towards compliance. We're asking for additional time. Okay, so the county has filed an affidavit of noncompliance. Okay, now are you admitting you're not in compliance, or you need more time to get in compliance? You need more time to get in compliance. Okay, let me just ask the officer what her position is. Since it's just the argument, officer, I'm going to score you in any way. Okay, if you just raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm that any testimony we give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Okay, what's your position, officer? The county doesn't have a problem with granting more time. We just need to figure out if it's going to be from the time of what the time frame will be. I mean, if we want 45 days, from what date? They have been doing some work out there, but I do have concerns. The minimum housing violation is going to be the hardest violation to comply unless they hire some people to actually do the work. Well, not to interrupt your officer, but there was an affidavit of noncompliance. Was that the initial filing in this case, or was there something previously? No, this was the initial case. The case was brought before, I believe it was you, in December, and was given a 30-day compliance time frame because they were not present for the hearing. Okay, that's what I'm looking for. So that was January. What date did I give it? January 7th was their compliance due date. Just give me a second to review this. That time you sold a $100 a day fine, right? Correct. And how much time are you looking for, Mr. DeBorg? I am asking you to consider 45 days from today. Okay, and so that would be from initially, that 45 days from today would be, let's see, January. That would be February 13th or so? No. What 45 days from today is? April 23rd. Okay. And, officer? Just in terms of, are you willing to give 45 days from January 7th, I guess, is what you're... 45 days is not unreasonable as they continue to try to clean up the property. I have no... The county has no problem with 45 days from today. Okay. So... Well... They have made strides, so they are trying. I'm just thinking out loud here. I don't know if either one of you are saying that I'm going to grant their objection to the affidavit of noncompliance, okay? But you're agreeing that you're not in compliance. I am agreeing, correct. So I'm not going to enter, you know, grant their objection in any way. So you're both willing to agree to... Are you following this? Because we need an order to that effect, right? Yes. Yes. Okay. So we're going to... Just like we're going to extend the compliance date over to April 23rd, okay, from the original order. So we don't have to worry about 45 days from... No, we're going to... We're just extending from January 7th all the way to April 3rd. Well... 23rd. 23rd. I'm sorry. Yes. Thank you. Sorry. Yeah, I don't want to have to calculate that. Okay, perfect. Because it was a default then. We were doing a little calculation. Yeah, so we'll do that. Okay. And... The county does also seek court costs, which have not yet... Yeah, the court costs were awarded in the original order. Right, and they have not been paid as of yet. Yeah. Okay, those court costs, Mr. DeBerg, were $464.95. I believe there should be court costs for the objection. Let me just get into the case file a second here. Yes, the original was $464.95, and then for this hearing, it's... It's $142.24, a total balance of $607.19. Any problems with that? No objections to email. Okay, do you know how to pay? Yeah, if you have any questions how to pay it or where to pay it or when to pay, the clerk will tell you on the way out. And I'll have it in the order as well. Okay, I'm going to have an order that we're going to extend the compliance date to... as set forth in this order to April 23rd, 2026, by 5 p.m. The fine amount will stay the same, and we're going to add an additional $142.24 in cost. Okay, you're understanding both sides? Very there, yes. Officer? Good. Yes, very good. Okay, we're going to mail the order where, Mr. DeBerg? Up to the same address that it's been going to Mr. Redinger. That would be Cediva or Cediva Circle? Is he getting the mail there? No, but is that a good address, 1275 Cediva Circle? Well, send it wherever you want. Give him the address you want it to go, please. Okay. Wood, Pine? Bine, Bine. Bine. Wood, M-I-N-E. Okay, Street. And, Mr. DeBerg, I do have your address here as well, so I'm going to put it on the order so you can have a copy. You're welcome. I appreciate it. Okay. All right, very good. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. Keep up the good work. It's a great day. You're welcome. The next one is number 10. You make sure in that order it starts off with the objection is denied. Yes. Okay, so the objection is denied, and then you're giving an extension of time. Right. Additional costs, additional costs. Okay, good. I'm going to give you this stuff back, okay? Thank you. Let me give you the one for the extension of time as well. I'm sorry. I apologize. I have that. That's okay. I thought I recognized the names of the cases. It was a default. We're trying to put everyone with the original last. Say magistrate. No, I realize you're trying to do that. This is the next one. It's the, if you're asking for an extension of time. All right. This is the additional cost. All right, it's in the back here, right? Number 10. Yes. And then I have all the orders here. I think it's the second? Yeah, second extension. This is part of it. Yeah, that's the cost for today's hearings. And then these, this is the NOH for today, and then I have the orders there. Yeah, two orders. Your original one? Just give me a second. I don't have a phone. Would you like us to stop it? What's that? Have the recording? No, just take a look at it. Oh, yeah, sure. Yes, ma'am. It is. It really is. But the thing we brought to prayer is I need to put that. I know. No, I guess. It's perfect. It's perfect. I'm going like this. Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. Let me get the other order as well. Why are you looking at me like that? I'm making you nervous. I see what order is going on. I see that's what you're doing. Okay. All right. You can call. Ready? Item number 10, department code enforcement matter. Respondent second extension of time request. Case number CCM-25-00056, Officer D. Duvall, Owner, Galage Dritton. Notice address, Galage Dritton, 10516, Giuliano Drive, Riverview, Florida, 33569-8712, and D. Duvall, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756, D. Duvall at Pinellas.gov. Violation address, 1774, Albemarle Road, Clearwater, Florida, 33764. Gentlemen, your name, sir? D. Duvall. Your name? Rivaldo Gilage. Can you spell your first name? R-E-V-A-L-D-O. Is he a witness for you? I'm just his son. It's my son, and he's been dealing more with the house. With the contractor. Okay. So he'd be a technical witness in case. Officer, if you could just place your name in the record, please. Officer Duvall. The three of you could raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm that any testimony you give today be the truth, nothing but the truth? Yes, I do. Okay. Mr. Galage, this is your second request for an extension of time to come into compliance, correct? Yes. Tell me what the problem is. Well, so we were trying to get it approved as an ADU at first, and we went personally to the building department. An ADU? Yeah. We were trying to get the accessory dwelling unit. Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. Okay. And then, so we went to the building department, and there's just too many hurdles, so now we're changing our plan to do an addition instead. So we believe that we need more time to get that compliant. Okay. And I'll give you an opportunity to say more. I just want to hear from the officer. So there was an accessory dwelling unit that was built in the back of this property without any permits and no zoning clearance. So that is what brought us here. They then applied for the zoning clearance, and that is where he says they have met many hurdles and determined that it's not something that's going to be approved by the county. So they're working with a contractor and, I guess, again, with the county building department, and they are going to try to build and connect the primary structure. It's not accessory anymore. To make it not accessory, exactly. So they're trying to, but they have to go, from the very beginning, they're going to have to do drawings, architectural drawings and submissions, and it'll be a process for them to get that approved. Have you seen any of the work they've done? Have they filed anything yet, permits to do any of this? There's been nothing done. This is the first that they've told me that that's how they plan to bring the property into compliance. We did the right-of-way permit. Yes. I don't know if that was separate. We did. No, that was, yeah, that was separate. They did have a right-of-way issue, which they have brought into compliance. That violation has been taken care of, 154-231. And I did comply that out at the beginning of February. Right, finding a fact or whatever. Is that how we did it, or it was complied? It is complied, yes. Is there any questions you want to ask the officer, kind of, on what she said? Any questions? Well, let me ask you this. When did you find out you couldn't do an accessory dwelling yet? It was February. We went to talk to the billing department, and we talked back and forth with the contractor, trying to figure out, you know, ways that we could be compliant. We had to take down the square footage, 250 square foot. So we were planning on doing that, but he said the easiest route would just be to connect the homes. And so on March 3rd, we actually had someone come out, and they're going to be sending us the existing floor plans for this place. So, and then we've got to send in proposed floor plans for the chain structure. And do you have any of those documents with you today? Why didn't you bring them today? Well, we just, yeah, no, but we haven't even gotten the existing floor plans. You've got nothing. You haven't done any paperwork. You haven't done anything with the contractor or anything, any, you know, projected costs, any paperwork to show that you're proceeding ahead? Well, we were proceeding with a different plan at first, so now we're kind of starting over with this new idea. All right. Officer, what's your position on this? County's position is they have requested six months. We feel that 90 days right now to get them to hold their feet to the fire, basically, to get them to get everything initiated, get some drawings and some plans and so on. And then we'll readdress after the 90 days. If they need more, we'll see where they're at. And just for the orders and stuff, 90 days from when? From today. From today. When was the last order due? In other words, is he here before? Let me just check the last order. So it was supposed to be in compliance by February 6th, right? And then they did do the written request for extension of time. For today. I'm wondering about the gap between February 6th and now if I just – so, in other words, I can give a date out there, but the fine's going to be the same even between February 6th and today. Does that make sense? Today's March 9th, right? Well, we requested for the extension. Oh, you filed the request before then? They did. They did put in for – in a timely manner. Thank you. That's what I was trying to figure out. I haven't seen it, you know, the request. I have not filed noncompliance. They did request prior to compliance due date. So you're willing to take it out to what date would that be? 45 – or 90 days from today. 90 days? June 7th, 2026. So you're willing to do June 7th. Tell me anything more you want to tell me. I mean, we're going to try to – we'll keep her updated periodically with all progress that we're making, so. Okay. All right. Well, I'm going to – instead of the public portion, the hearing closed in this application. And as far as – I'm going to call – I'm going to enter an order granting the extension to June 7th, 2025, all of the terms of the order. Any additional costs to the officer? Do you know? I am not aware of the additional costs, I believe, Caroline would know. There's an additional cost of $266.71 that I'm going to impose for the additional county expenses. Okay. Because you've already paid your other costs. So this was to get you here today, the additional cost. Okay? Court cost. And where do you want that order to go, Mr. Gillespie? 10516 Giuliano Drive. Okay. That's your address we have. Okay. You'll get that in the mail? Yes. You'll get it in the mail. All right. Okay. Good luck, gentlemen. Very good. Just stay in touch, gentlemen. All right. Very good. Thank you very much. Good day. You're all set. Bye. And that'll be my decision as opposed to the agreement. That's my decision. Yes. Yes. Don't wait as an agreement, plus the cost. Correct. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. We have 1248. Who do we appreciate? Okay. Well, that's everybody. Bye. It was easy. Nice seeing you. Thank you. Yes, we did. What was it? That's the way I would say on. Do you need this paper on the extension post? Oh, that's good. That's, uh, let's see what else I got here. Yes. Was there two short-term rental violations? Was there short-term? Right. I'm sorry? Is number one? Yes. They are not here. Okay. So we have items one, two, four, and eight. And those are not here. One, two, and eight. Shove it all around. Okay. Well, that's all good. I want these back on them, these orders. You need them? I don't, I don't need them. Okay. I don't need them to do the orders. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, I made notes there. Okay. I guess you needed them. What if you want to do it? Yeah. Okay. Item number one, department code enforcement. Matter. Short-term rental code violation. Case number CCM-26-00011, Officer D. Duvall, Owner, Quan Christopher L., Quan Anna P., Notice Address, Quan Christopher L., Quan Anna P., 8, Betty's Lane, Britt, New Jersey, 08723-8015, and D. Duvall, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Colorado, Florida, 33756, D. Duvall at Pinellas.gov, Violation Address, 115 Windward Place, Osmar, Florida, 34677. Let the record reflect that there's no one in the gallery anymore. Is anybody here for the property on Windward Place? There was no response. Officer, if you could identify yourself for the record. Officer Duvall. If you could make your right hand. Do you swear if I'm that a testimony to give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. I was going to ask you if you ever been to Brick, New Jersey. I've been there. I'm smart. We're up kind of. Go ahead. Well, Magistrate, the property where the alleged violation exists is 115 Windward Place in Oldsmar, Florida, which is in unincorporated Pinellas County. The owners, Christopher and Anna Kuhn, are not present for today's hearing. The violations have been in occurrence since on or before October 29th of 2025. I'd like to enter into evidence the notice of hearing, affidavit of violations, violation, and composite exhibit A. Have you reviewed composite exhibit A? I haven't seen it yet, but you can put it all in together if you want. And just give me a second to look at it. I looked up the code section already. So would you like me to go through them page by page? You can put it in as a package if it's easy. Okay. Exhibit A consists of the NOVs, ownership confirmation through Pinellas County Tax Collector, property appraiser, and the deed. And we do have some inspection photos. This is a short-term rental property, so the inspection photos consist of a desk inspection looking at Airbnb, showing that the property is being advertised as a short-term rental for four guests, two bedrooms, two beds, two baths. These property owners have failed to apply for a short-term rental certificate, which is now required under the new ordinance. I reviewed the code in the mandatory short-term rental certificate of use, section G, by definition, right? And then... Also incorporated within our exhibit A packet, we have all of the letters that were sent to the property owners that the county initiated when we identified them, or they were identified as a short-term rental. They were sent their initial letter, giving them the time frames of which to apply for their certificate. And then we sent, again, in June, a warning notice saying, we still haven't received an application for you. We had another that went out in August, identifying them. We did a lot of warning. Okay, yeah, that's kind of... Yes. Go ahead. Yeah. All the letters that were sent to the property owners, and everything, nothing came back in return mail, so I believe the address is very valid. So I did do another desk inspection of the Airbnb website on the 6th of March, just recently, showing they are still advertising this condo, two bedrooms, two baths, and also was able to show the days that were marked off where they have actually have people that are renting it. Understood. So even if they weren't renting it now, they didn't pass and didn't get a certificate of use. And they have upcoming dates that have been reserved. Right. So, so, magistrate, the county requests that you find the property in violation and issue an order to have the property brought into compliance. What type of, what are you seeking? Um, we're looking at, uh, 30 days to comply, and if still found in violation, assign a fine in the amount of $500 per day for the violation of... Per day? Per day. For the violation of 22, uh, 319. Right. Just give me a second, officer. I want to... All right. The, uh, and the notice of violation went out also, notwithstanding the hearing today, right? Yes. They went out with no response, right? Correct. That was, uh... October 29th. Yes. The 29th of October. Do you have an HOA there at all? That's a curiosity question. I'm going to say yes, because it is within, um, of development up in the East Lake Woodlands area. Right. So... So you're citing the ordinance number in the letters, right? It's a new ordinance, right? Correct. Or it didn't even have a number yet. All right. 22-319 is, um... Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, normally I'd see that here. Either side of the ordinance, which is fine. You've identified it. A follow-up? Two... Wow. Okay, I got it. I got it. And if there's not compliance, you want... The first day of violation you're seeking would be the... From the affidavit? So from October 29th? Uh, no, we're looking at... Well, 30 days... We're going to do this as we would... Any regular case, 30 days from today to apply. They have to show that they've initiated that application, so... No, no, no, no, I've got that. But I meant in terms of K-State didn't do that. You... The via... The daily would go from today? The $500 a day would start from today? No, it's... It would go from the 30 days, like we usually do. Going backwards, yeah. When it'd be 30 days forward? 30 days from today. Yes. Plus the court costs. That's what we usually do. So in other words, it's... If they don't comply, it'll be $500 a day, 30... Starting 30 days from today is what you're seeking? Yes. Not for any past behavior? No. Okay. The package that you've filed, could you mark that as... Is that marked as... Yes. The county's one, or you have it as one? Composite exhibit eight, yes. Okay, I'm going to accept the county's one into evidence, okay? I'm going to consider the public portion of the hearing closed. I'm going to find that the respondent is not in compliance with Code Section 22-319, and I'm going to enter a fine of $500 a day. That fine can be abated if there's compliance within 30 days, which is April... 8th. 8th, 2026, by 5 p.m. I'm also awarding costs to the county. The cost is $413.60. Okay, I'm also awarding costs to the county. Thank you, officer. All right. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate all those... Sorry for all those questions. Oh, no. These are... One of the first I've seen of these, I just wanted to get it straight going for them. All right, don't threaten me. Okay. Okay, do you need this back? What's it? You don't need it. I'll toss it. Oh, well, I'll just set a pile. It's okay. I didn't want to confuse you here. I'm ready to do the next one whenever you are. Item number two, department code enforcement. Matter, minimum housing code violation. Inoperable vehicle code violation. Trash and debris code violation. Case number CCM-26-00012. Officer B. Hughes, owner, Garzali Salim. Notice address, Garzali Salim, 11102, Serenity Oaks Lane, Dona Sassa, Florida, 33592-4029. And B. Hughes, special magistrate officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756, bhughes at pinellas.gov. Violation address, 6251-143rd Avenue North, Clearwater, Florida, 33760. Anyone here for 6251-143rd Avenue North, Clearwater? Let the record reflect that the gallery is empty and nobody's answered to the call of the list. Officer, if you could put your name on the record, please. Officer Hughes. Officer Hughes, if you could raise your right hand, do you swear or affirm that any testimony you'll give today be the truth and nothing but the truth? I do. You may proceed. Thank you. So the property where the alleged violation exists is 6251-143rd Avenue North, Clearwater, Florida, 33760, located in unincorporated Pinellas County. The owner, Salim Garzali, is not present or represented for today's hearing. The violation have been, the violations have been in occurrence since on or before November 6th of 2025. And I would like to enter the notice of hearing, affidavit of violation, and composite exhibit A into evidence. And composite exhibit A includes the notice of violations, Pinellas County tax collector and property appraiser, the deed, and the violation photos. You can do it in that fashion. So let me go ahead and grab the violation photos for you. So the minimum housing, this is an address that has a manufactured home on it, and it is just in dilapidated condition. Basically, the back portion of this is collapsing. The window is boarded. The next photo shows the inoperable vehicles. There's expired tags. There's a car that's been in a wreck that is not operable. And there's a truck that has a flat tire and is inoperable. There's trailers on the property that also do not have tags. The next set of photos are for the trash and debris. As you can see, there's a lot of vegetative debris. And they're just storing a lot of different materials on the property. It's basically being used as a storage dumping ground. Here's just more photos. They have a trailer that's full of debris, construction materials, just multiple items everywhere. So, Magistrate, the property was re-inspected on March 2nd of 2026, and the violations continue. Photos were taken on that date, and I would like to submit them as composite exhibit B. Okay, so for composite exhibit A, we're going to have all the documents plus the initial photos. Is that how you want to put them into the record? Yes, sir. Okay. Do you mind if I just interrupt you for a second? They just got ownership of this property in June of 25, they being the owners. Have you heard from them at all? Actually, what I was about to say before I moved on was, so this property actually has the same address for two different parcels, which is unique. The parcel identification numbers are different. One has the manufactured home. The other has a regular single-family residence on it. So I actually did knock on that door the first time that I went out. You knocked on which door? The single-family residence? The single-family home. The manufactured home is so dilapidated and falling apart, no one lives there. So I did attempt, just because the address is the same, to go next door. There was a young lady present who said that her father owned the property. So I left my card and asked for contact. Do you think this would be the father of the—you don't know if he owns the actual— He doesn't, actually. So he did contact me. He doesn't own the single-family. He just owns this property. He actually doesn't own either. The gentleman that's on property appraiser, Mr. Salam Garsali, is the owner. I've never had any contact from him whatsoever. The gentleman that actually resides at the single-family dwelling does have some relationship with the property owner, it appears. Right, but he doesn't own that property. Not right now. Okay. His name actually was on the deed previously back in 2018, the Bernard. Well, this came from Amalia Menashe or something, but Monsa. Yes, I don't know how to pronounce that name. But the name where you see Bernard, he at one point was the property owner. So I don't— That must be the deed before this. I didn't see anything about the property owner. Yeah, it was—I think it was back in 2018. Okay, so you searched the title back. So anyway, I don't—I don't disbelieve that he does have a relationship to the property. Supposedly, all—well, and he told—pretty much told me that all the items on the property were his. He told me that he plans on doing a demolition of the manufactured home. Who told you this? Pardon me? Who told you this? The gentleman that resides there that had been an owner at one time on the deed back in 2018. He had been an owner, but he doesn't own it anymore. He doesn't. And I clarified with that on the phone actually today. Supposedly, but, you know, until it happens, you don't know. His—it's supposedly going to be in his name again. I don't know. No, no, I got it. So right now, it's just— Nobody's living there, and the guy next door has no living connection to it. Correct. He made the mess. He made the mess, yes. And he has told me that he will have the mess and everything cleaned up within 60 days. But— So go ahead. Go through B. Did I interrupt you there? Oh, that's okay. So I would like to submit the photos that I took on March 2nd as Exhibit B. You could proceed. I have the documents for A here. I don't think you have the B. No, I don't have the B, but I'm accepting Exhibit A on behalf of the county. Okay? Thank you. You may proceed. Thank you so much. So pretty much the manufactured home is still dilapidated, boarded, pretty much falling apart. So it shows the minimum housing violations, 22 to 99. All the vehicles that were there are still present. You can see the flat tires, the vehicle that's pretty much just—is obviously not drivable or operable, the truck that doesn't have a current tag, and then the trash and debris is all still present. There's still all the building materials, cinder blocks, tires, just multiple items that are present on the property. So, magistrate, the county requests that you find the property in violation and issue an order to have the property brought into compliance. Since I did speak with the gentleman and he is—I have agreed to a 60-day—60 days to comply. Otherwise, I'm requesting $100 per day for code sections 22 to 99, 58-270, and 58-304. So what you're telling me is, since the gentleman—you're looking for compliance always, so the gentleman next door may do something, so you're giving him 60 days when you normally say 30 days. Yes, because he'd also have to get a demo permit to remove the manufactured home. He'd have to get a demo permit for property he doesn't own would be quite a task, huh? Yeah. And so you're giving him more time just for that reason to hopefully get it done. I have no problems with that. Anything else? No, sir, that's all. Thank you. Okay. I'm going to accept the deposit exhibit B. We're going to—I guess that will be the county exhibit B into evidence. I'm going to consider the public portion of the hearing closed. I'm going to find a favor of the county with regard to 22 to 99. I'm going to pose a fine of $100 a day. That can be—that fine will be abated if there's compliance within 60 days, which would be— May 8, 2026, by 5 p.m. Similarly, with regard to the inoperable vehicles, 58-270, I'm going to impose a fine of $100 a day. That fine can be abated if there's compliance within 60 days, which is May 8, 2026, at 5 p.m. Similarly, with regard to the trash and debris, 58-304, I'm going to pose a fine of $100 a day. That fine can be abated if there is compliance within 60 days, which would be May 8, 2026, by 5 p.m. I'm also awarding the county their costs. And the cost is $414.95. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, officer. Whenever you ladies are ready, I'm in there. Item number four, department code enforcement. Matter, minimum housing code violation. Trash and debris code violation. Case number, CCM-26-00013. Officer B. Hughes, owner, Multiplier Assets, LLC. Notice address, Multiplier Assets, LLC, 401 Congress Avenue, 33rd floor, Austin, Texas, 787-01-3792. Incorporation Service Company, registered agent for 1201 Hayes Street, Tallahassee, Florida, 32301-2525. And Gotti Joseph, authorized person of Montpellier Assets, LLC, 3903 South Congress Avenue, number 40298, Austin, Texas, 78704. And B. Hughes, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756. B. Hughes at Pinellas.gov. Violation address, 2053 Whitney Drive, Clearwater, Florida, 33760. Anybody here for 2053 Whitney Drive, Clearwater? Let the record reflect that the gallery is empty. And the owner has responded on behalf of the property owner. Officer, if you could state your name for the record. Officer Hughes. Officer, raise your right hand. You swore or affirm that the testimony we give today be the truth to nothing but the truth. I do. You may proceed, Officer. Thank you. So, the property where the alleged violation exists is 2053 Whitney Drive, Clearwater, Florida, 33760, located in an unincorporated Pinellas County. The owner of Montpellier Assets, LLC, is not present nor represented for today's hearing. The violation has been in, excuse me, the violations have been in occurrence since on or before November 24th of 2025, and I would like to enter the notice of hearing, the affidavit of violation, and composite exhibit A into evidence. And composite exhibit A includes the notice of violations, Pinellas County tax collector and property appraiser documents, the deed, and the violation photos. You may proceed. We'll mark all of those at County Exhibit A at some point in time. Thank you. One, I mean. So, I have not had any contact from the owner nor the tenants that live there. And this is pretty much. They've owned since 24, I think. Did I say 24? No, I'm just saying it. November 24th of 2025. Oh. Yes, I apologize. If I said 2024, that was mistaken. No, I'm looking at the special warranty deed, which is 24th. Okay, gotcha. That's when they've owned the property since. Yes. Apparently, I heard you incorrectly. I apologize. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, there is a tenant there. Okay, go ahead. And the problem is, is they just apparently don't have trash service. So, they have waste management garbage cans on the property, which I'll show you an image of. These have always either been here or at the street, but they've never been emptied, and it appears that it's in the same condition. Additionally, behind the door, or excuse me, when you walk out the front door behind this little wall, there's trash. There's trash on the property. So, they do not have trash service, and they have bagged trash just sitting outside. So, that's just one image of the trash and debris. What I did do is, Officer Colazzo, because usually when we get a case like this, by the time you send the notice, it comes into compliance. So, what I did was I went through and looked at her different photos. They had the same violation November 24th, January 6th. Yeah, I saw the notices. I was going to ask you that, why there were so many notices. Is that what you did? Okay. Yes. The reason for all the different dates is, I just wanted to show, this isn't like a one time we left the trash out. These were all the times she had been out to the property. Then, of course, this was the first time I went out to the property on January 20th. She and I both actually have also called Waste Management and confirmed, this is just our inspection note, confirmed they do not have trash service. Waste Management confirmed that they do not have it. That's why you're citing for not putting it in. So, in other words, you did the minimum housing and the trash and debris? Trash and debris and the 22-301 is for not having trash service. Okay. Fairly placed garbage in the glass. Okay. Yes. Just give me one second. So, it's all about the trash. It's all about it. I got it. Could you just give me one second here? You bet. Take your time. Thank you. Let me just check something. Please forget this one. Hang on. What I'm looking for is the requirement that you've got to have service. It's 22, there's 301. Yes. Let me grab my computer and pull it. Can I have it right here? Oh, you have it? Just give me a second. Sure. Take your time. Thank you. Two or more units should be responsible for maintaining clean and sanitary condition. Two, every occupant shall keep it in clean and sanitary condition. Three, garbage disposal shall place and arrange for regular garbage disposal service. Right. I hadn't seen that in a while. Yes, sir. We very seldom run into this, honestly. I got it. Go ahead. That's kind of a first for a long time. Go ahead. Yes. Most people don't do that. Like I said, this is a very unusual code. I got it. I got it. Go ahead. Okay. So, and the officer, just to describe, the area officer and myself, not only have we tried sending multiple notices, you know, as was required to the owner and to the registered agent. Additionally, we've left notices on the door and just with zero response. So, the property was re-inspected on March 2nd of 2026 and the violations continue. Photos were taken on that date and I would like to submit them as composite exhibit fee. For the record, I'm accepting exhibit A on behalf of the county. Okay. And let's see exhibit B. Thanks, officer. Thank you. So, the first page is just showing the same thing. I called Waste Management again and he confirmed that there's still no active trash service and that was as of March 3rd. And then when I went back out to the property, the trash was even worse. Not only is it now by the front door where you can see that animals have gotten into it, it's also down by the sidewalk where you can see holes in the bags where animals have gotten into it. Pardon? Someone's living here. Yes. And they do not have trash service and they are just putting their trash out to the curbside. Have you ever spoken with them, knocked on the door? Both the IRA officer and I have both tried to make contact. We have not had anyone answer the door. I feel like I heard a TV inside, but I have not been able to get a response. Sorry, go ahead. Nor from the owners. So, Magistrate, the county requests that you find the property in violation and issue in order to have the property brought into compliance. Because this has been such a nuisance property where, again, the animals have been getting into the trash. It's right by the sidewalk where people walk by. I'm requesting 14 days to comply and still found in violation to assign a daily fine amount of 250 per day for Code Section 22301 and 58-304. 15 days would, okay, anything else? No, sir. Okay, I'm going to consider the public portion of the hearing closed. I'm going to fine for the county and institute a fine on 22-301, the minimum housing of $250 a day. That fine can be abated if there's compliance within 15 days, which would be 28th? March 24th, 2026. Man, I've got a math problem today. March 24th, oh, that's right, it's the 9th. Now it's 24th by 5 p.m. Similarly, with regard to the trash and debris, 58-304, I'm going to fine for the county and the amount of, institute a fine of $250 a day. That fine can be abated if there's compliance within 15 days, which is March 24th, 2025, by 5 p.m., and I'm awarding costs. The cost is $494.20. To the county. Thank you, officer. Thank you, sir. Brent? The Beth Show. Wow, Beth is on a roll. Yeah. Officer Hughes. Please. Item number eight, department code enforcement matter, inoperable vehicle code violation, zoning code violation. Case number CCM-26-00005, Officer B. Hughes, owner, Yulrich Wilmot E., notice address, Yulrich Wilmot E., 13246 4th Street East, Madeira Beach, Florida, 33708-2422, and B. Hughes, Special Magistrate Officer, Pinellas County Code Enforcement, 631 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida, 33756, vhughes at pinellas.gov, violation address, 12820, Wild Acres Road, Largo, Florida, 33773. Is anyone here for 12820, Wild Acres Road, Largo? I have to reflect that there's no one left in the gallery here and no one has answered for the respondent. Officer, if you could state your name for the record. Officer Hughes. Officer, if you could raise your right hand. Do you swear a firm that any testimony we give today would be the truth? It's nothing but the truth. I do. Okay. I have a copy of the file here, so you may proceed. Thank you, sir. So, the property where the alleged violations exist is 12820, Wild Acres Road, Largo, Florida, 33773, located in unincorporated Pinellas County. The owner, Wilmot E. Ulrich, is not present for today's hearing. The violations have been in occurrence since on or before July 16th of 2025. I would like to enter the notice of hearing, affidavit of violation, and composite exhibit A into evidence. Composite exhibit A includes the notice of violations, the Pinellas County tax collector property appraiser information, the deed, and the violation photos. I'm looking at those documents right now in the photos, so you may proceed. Okay. And I'm accepting. Go ahead. So, basically, this is a vacant lot now. It's a residentially zoned, manufactured lot that I have not had any contact with the owner. The area officer tried to gain compliance through through the realtor, so to speak. The gentleman, I guess, unfortunately, is now in an assisted living facility. Which gentleman would that be? Pardon me? You said the gentleman's in an assisted living? The property owner. Property owner. And this is just word of mouth that we've been given from both the neighbor and from... Okay. So, you got it as hearsay, but you feel comfortable with it. Go ahead. Right. So, I have not ever had any contact from him. My understanding is there was, again, this is definitely a residentially zoned lot that has pretty much been turned into a storage lot without any kind of approved zoning clearance. There are multiple inoperable vehicles, including boats, trailers. And there was, at one time, a camper on the property as well. I mean, did you think that the respondent did this before he got ill, or that's how he was running it? It's a combination. I'm going to get there. Oh, okay. Go ahead. If you don't mind. All right. So, we're on the same page. Yeah. It's a combination of things. So, again, there's more boats, more inoperable vehicles. And those were both, yeah, images of the expired tags or just no tags at all. The next picture is just showing that the property is being basically used as a storage lot. This is the old driveway when there was a home there. You've got the RVs, again, boats, vans, all kinds. It's a little too structured for just somebody dropping them there. Someone's lining these up for space. Yes. And it's a common, again, through hearsay, I'll explain who's got what. Yeah. There was some outdoor storage and some trash and debris, basically just a pile of junk, some wood that was left behind, vegetative debris and fence debris. And then some of the vehicles, boats had, you had the, some lumber, some things inside, the wheelbarrow, just not a ton, but it was present. All right. So, the next, when I went to post the property, actually, is when I got more information. The person that lives next door was present and came to speak to me. And this is when I was posting the property. So, he basically explained that some of the vehicles had belonged to someone that lived on the street that basically had just placed it there. Some of the vehicles, and when I show you the exhibit B, when I request to put those into evidence, the vehicles that are pretty much on the property now, through hearsay, do belong to the actual property owner. But the vehicles that did not belong to him, that people were just basically using as a parking lot, quite a few of those have been removed. Have been removed. Yes. Because you've been stirring up things over there. They figure they better move it before you tow it, right? Right. Got it. So, the, the property was re-inspected on March 2nd of 2026, and the violations continue. Photos were taken on that date, and I would like to submit them as composite exhibit B. Okay. For the record, previous documents, as well as the initial photographs, previously referred to as County Exhibit A. I'm accepting it to evidence. Yes, let's see B. Okay. So, that, the large Jayco trailer, when I went back to do the re-inspection, which was pretty much parked up here toward the front, has been removed. Oh, is that, okay, go ahead. So, it was the, the RV that was in disrepair. That's pretty much been gone. The trailer with the expired tag that does, again, through hearsay belongs to the owner is still there, still has the flat tire. It shows that the, the boat without, um, a registration nor the trailer with a registration. So, so, so it's, there's not full compliance with 58270. No, and, and, far from it. No, unfortunately not. Okay. So, again, you can see quite a few of the, you can't see all the, we still have this empty trailer, the boat, um, this large trailer here, um, with the expired tag. So, there's still definitely those vehicles are on the property. And I, I do believe that at least, again, through hearsay from the neighbor, they belong to the actual property owner that's in the assisted living facility. Um, so it is still being used basically as a storage lot with all the different vehicles on it. I, even though there's a tiny bit of the outdoor storage, most of it has been removed. Most of it belonged to the, um, to the neighbor. So, I'm basically just going to be asking for a finding of fact of that. On the zoning? The 138-3220? Yes, sir. Go ahead. So, magistrate, when the, the county, or the county requests that you find the property in violation and issue in order to have the property brought into compliance. However, I am requesting only a finding of fact order for 138-3220. And because the neighbor and the, um, the person that is a friend is, has communicated with me and is trying to find a solution, I would request 60 days for compliance and I'm still found in violation $100 per day for code sections 58-270 and 138-90. Thank you, officer. Um, I'm accepting the additional photographs marked, referred to as a county exhibit, um, biddy into evidence and consider the public portion of the hearing closed. I'm going to find for the county with regard to, uh, I'm fine for the county that there's been failure of compliance, uh, with regard to 138-3220. Zoning violation. I'm going to enter finding the fact that there is, that the, uh, respondent was in violation, but there's compliance now with regard to 58-270. The inoperative vehicles, I'm going to impose a fine of $100 a day. That fine can be abated if there's compliance within 60 days. May 8th. May 8th. 2026 by 5 o'clock in the county is awarded costs. $417.86. $417.86. Thank you, officer. Thank you, sir. Thank you, officer. Thank you, sir.
