taken through the Planning and Zoning Commission. The plan has been exchanged and comments provided. An email chain was provided to show that the applicant and Ms. Hanna were working together. Ms. Hanna continued. The Special Magistrate asked if it was the City's position, that as of. February 8, 2018 there has been no compliance as the $50 per day fine should commence? Mr. Campbell stated that was correct. Ed Martin, 4630 S Highway 17/92 stated some of the photos looked to be current. There has not been mulch put down since Mr. Martin is still going back and forth with Ms. Hanna. Ms. Martine stated it is not a landscape architect but a designer. Mr. Martin stated one of the items unresolved was the need for a legend, there are some plans that the designer made and it clearly points to the plants. To Mr. Martin the plants seemed clearly labeled. Mr. Martin continued. Mr. Campbell advised the City needs a landscape plan that is sufficient for what planning is requiring. Planning has been trying to work with Mr. Martin and to obtain that, this is something that can be obtained and supplied to the City. The plan would give the specifics required, the height and width of all the different foliage put in. What was presented is not sufficient. The Special Magistrate asked if Mr. Martin had anything else to say. Mr. Martin stated he was having a hard time distinguishing their preference and what is actually Code. Mr. Martin stated that every time he corrects one thing something else pops up. Ms. Hanna stated for the record, the City does not have any issues with the plant material the applicant is requesting to install; it is more of the specifications of the plant material that she needs to know, in order to meet code. Ms. Hanna addressed the landscape criteria code 3-13.9, there are seventeen criteria that are needed to have an approved landscape plan. Ms. Hanna stated she only asked the applicant to provide enough information to be able to accurately approve the landscape plan. Mr. Martin stated the past plan that was approved was hand written by him, it was low bar. Finding of fact: The Special Magistrate made a finding in case # CE -17-000752, 4630 S Highway 17/92 based on evidence and testimony, the sole issue before the Magistrate was whether there has been compliance. The issue back in December was whether there was a violation, a violation was found and a compliance date of February 8, 2018 was given, to give plenty of time. It has been almost two months, which seems to be plenty of time. Originally, the City wanted a January 11, 2018 compliance date but extra time was given. The Special Magistrate strongly suggested that Mr. Martin keeps working to try and get this done. The special Magistrate stated at this time his hands were tied. The order was to find the violation non-compliant and to impose the fine. Based on testimony and evidence entered it was found that the property was not in compliance and pursuant to the order of December 14, 2017 the respondent is to pay the City of Casselberry a fine in the amount of $50.00 per day plus any administrative fees for each and every day the violation continues starting February 8, 2018. 2 1Page
