February 20,2007 - The Code Enforcement Board heard Mr. Kishore Tolia's request and application for satisfaction or release of code enforcement lien. The City and Mr. Tolia with counsel present provided testimony that evening before the Board. The Code Enforcement Board found that Mr. Tolia had not provided any mitigating circumstances that night that would warrant the reduction or satisfaction of the penalty. Further, the Board with a 5-2 vote recommended denial of the application and their recommendation is scheduled for the next regular Commission meeting per section 2-61.5 for consideration by the Commission. ISSUE ANALYSIS: The Code Enforcement Bureau issued a notice of violation to Mr. Tolia for no pool enclosure and presented the case in February 2006. Mr. Tolia was found not to be in compliance at that hearing. He was issued a notice again for non-compliance of the boards order and in May of 2006 the case returned to the Code Enforcement Board for hearing. The board heard testimony from Mr. To1ia allowing him an opportunity to provide any mitigating circumstances as to why the penalty should not be imposed. They ruled that there were no mitigating circumstances presented by Mr. Tolia that would warrant a release of the penalty to be imposed in the amount of$7,800.00, and that it is recorded as a lien with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. On February 20,2007 Mr. Tolia appeared before the board asking for a release or satisfaction of lien by application as allowed by City Code. This is the last step in the application process for Mr. Tolia's request. The Code Enforcement Board has recommended that the application be denied and the lien imposed.

Kish Tolia Case ti: 05-0011192 Dear Cave Tolleson: As you know, I am representing Kisl1 Tolia in connection with the above-captioned code enforccment matter. We are presently on an appeal regarding the lines th.at have been levied in tllis case anc.l attached hereto is a copy of the order from the circuit court abating the appealulItiJ March 13,2007, This was on agreement with the City o[Wintcr Springs' attomey, Deborah Nutcher. We have had sevt:ral discussions regarding this case and it is my understanding you have no objection for Mr. Tolia to seek forgiveness of the fir~e imposed and we arc hereby submitting i1 written application in tbat regard pursuant to Sectioll 2-61.5 ofthe City Code. The application is required to be made to the Community Development Director and, therefore, I have cc'd that to tbe Community Development Director fi)r Ule City of Winter Springs, should you not be the appropriate person to send this to. P1.ll'Suant to the section noted, please see the following: a. Tile Code Enforcement case number; fi: 05-0011192. b. The date upon which the violator brought the subject property into compliance with ihc City Cooc; Although it is Mr. Tolia's contention that he was never in violation oCthe CIty Code because he did have a barrier around his pool in compliance with all safety requirements of the (~ity, there was ll. new screen cnclGsllrc done 011 Monday, August 14, 2006. A iinal inspection was perfonned on August 25, 2006 :md a copy of that signed !!1Spccti01: is attached hereto. v.

When the inspectioD took place, some ofthe enclosure was not in the greatest of shape, however, there was one in plcce. Mr. ToIia was having a great deal of trouble getting things dOlle, a.~ his wife had recently died and he had some other financial and family issues to contend with. However, at all times, hc believes he made certain that the pool area would be enclcsed in some fashion, although certainly in a vcry unattractive way in the temporary sta.te. He dealt with several contractors who had agreed to repair it, but he did not find one who actually did the work until August of2006, when a brand new enclosure was installed that was attractivc and, of course, met the code as weil, Mr. Tolia has becn in cnntact continuously with Captai.:1 Tolleson, wbo has indicall..>d he has no objection to the forgive,noss of the fine, bultha! the hoard must decide. d. The terms upon whieh a satisfaction or release of lien should be granted: It is requested that the City reverse the penalty on the basis that Mr. Tolia dismiss his present appeal now pending before the Circuit Court to avoid any additional expenditure 0 f time and money by either party. e. The reasons, if any, compliance was 1I0t obtaiut:d prior to the order of penalty I,," fine bcing recorded: As indicated earlier, Mr. Tolia was having a great deal of family issues with his wife dying and financial problems in obtaining the money to build a brand new tmclosurc. He had mudc temporary repairs, whiGh County inspection did not fcel was uttractivc or appropriate. f. The reduction ill penalty or fine sought hy the violator: Mr. Tolia would request a complete reduction in the penalty or tines imposed or, ill the alternative, the payment of a fine of S500 should the board dctc:mine that a complete reduction is not appropriate. g. An)' other information which the violator deems pertinent to the request, including but not limited to thl~ circumstanccs that exist which would Wllrrant the reduction or forgiveness of the pellalt:~: 0'. fine: ML Toli.\ is a long time resident ofthe City of \Vintcr Sprines and intends to remain in the city.
