The factors used to consider the red, on request are, there have not been ar Aher violations on the property, the violation did come into compliance after obtaining a permit from the Public Works Department, the homeowner spent $3,823 to remediate the violation, the homeowner states there was an erosion problem on the property. The Special Magistrate asked if the owners or representatives for 945 Brydie Ct were present. The owner was present. David Pieski, 945 Brydie Ct; Casselberry, FL stated he had requested a complete waiver of the lien, based on the fact that he was given a construction permit by Phyllis Wallace. The City maintained that Mr. Pieski brought in excess fill dirt at the upper edge of the 100 year floodplain after the sea wall was constructed. Subsequent work with the City, specifically, Kelly Brock, required multiple revisions and multiple potential options to rectify the problem. Some of the problems included, ripping out the wall completely or removing half of the wall, left side or right side. There were also many parties involved, per the City directive, Northshore Courtyard Villas HOA, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Reggie Caruso (City of Altamonte Springs), plus the engineering firm that Mr. Pieski hired per Kelly Brock's directive. Mr. Pieski felt a complete reduction/waiver was in order, because once he applied for a variance and was denied he worked in good faith, in due diligence to rectify the problem, as there were many moving parts, many sign -offs, many permissions that has to be acquired. Mr. Pieski stated HOA's don't operate under his schedule, they operate on a monthly meeting basis and whether they had gotten to his issue, he can't force the issue to a Board of Directors at an HOA. A requirement by Kelly Brock was that all permissions be granted by the HOA be granted prior to any subsequent permit or building permit and that was the basis for the complete waiver request. The Special Magistrate asked if Mr. Pieski had a copy of the permit that was referred to earlier. Mr. Pieski stated he did and the letter he also submitted, on the first page it was reference from Ms. Lipscomb, specifically refers to the permit granted by Casselberry from Ms. Wallace which re -enforces his point. The special Magistrate asked if there was anything else. Mr. Pieski had nothing else. Mr. Campbell advised that the City's position was still the reduction to $6,690 plus $950 (administrative cost) for a total of $7,640. The Special Magistrate asked what the date of the original finding was. Mr. Campbell was not aware of the date. The Special Magistrate asked how many days the fine had accrued over. Mr. Campbell advised that he did not have that information with him. The Special Magistrate advised that his rough calculation was 3 and 2/3 years. Mr. Campbell advised that is was his understanding it was for about 4 years. The Special Magistrate asked the City for a timeline. 4 1 P a g e
