Mr. Pieski stated 2007/2008 and he gilt the seawall based upon the permit em Phyllis Wallace. Mr. Pieski differed with Ms. Cocotas about the date Jun and July 2008 of the letter. The letter from Ms. Lipscomb dated January 2008, clearly demonstrated that the permit from Ms. Wallace was already issued. The Special Magistrate stated there was an indication that as of May 2008 Mr. Pieski was found in violation for construction without a permit and asked if Mr. Pieski was aware of that. Mr. Pieski was asked if he recalled being found in violation of the land development code for building without a permit. Mr. Pieski advised he had received a notice from the Code Board and was very confused. The Special Magistrate asked what the notices said. Mr. Pieski stated it was eight years ago, he had no clue but did remember he was getting notices and had the permit from Phyllis Wallace from Casselberry. Mr. Pieski felt there was miscommunication within the City as to whether there was a permit of not. Kelly Brock had stated there was too much fill dirt brought in, which was not allowed per permit, in the 100 year flood plain. Mr. Pieski stated the variance was not unanimous; Mayor Bob Goff agreed with him and thought he should be given a variance, based on Mr. Pieski legally and properly getting a permit from the City of Casselberry but was out voted. The Special magistrate asked out voted for what result. Mr. Pieski stated he was denied the variance. Mr. Campbell stated the City would suggest a continuance as well as having the City Engineer present, at the next available meeting. The Special Magistrate asked if the City was asking for a continuance. Mr. Campbell stated yes. The Special Magistrate advised Mr. Pieski that the City was asking that the matter be continued to the next hearing date, September 15th, 2016 for additional testimony from the City Engineer. Mr. Pieski stated if his request for a complete waiver was going to be granted. Mr. Pieski did not know his specific schedule for the date given. The Special Magistrate advised he would take other cases while Mr. Pieski figured out his schedule. The Special Magistrate asked if Mr. Pieski had anything else to add. Mr. Pieski stated no, other than the fact that he didn't think he was responsible for the City's lack of preparation, he had proper letters showing an approximate timeline and that is why Mr. Pieski wanted a decision on August 11, 2016. Mr. Pieski asked if there was anything else from the City. The City had nothing. The Special Magistrate advised that judicial notice of the owners petition that the fine/lien be reduced to zero, the City's recommendation is that the reduction lien be put to $7,640 ($6,690 plus $950 administrative cost. 7Page
