SYNOPSIS: As of April 10, 2014, the Code Enforcement Division has a lien on the subject property in the amount of $94,000.00. In addition, there is a past due utility bill in the amount of 115.74 and a grass cutting lien for $76.71. The total lien amount is $94,192.45. The case for lien reduction was presented to the Code Enforcement Board on April 22, 2014. The Code Enforcement Board and the City Staff are recommending a partial release of lien to accommodate a short sale which is pending on the subject property under certain terms and conditions to at least recover the City's costs of $1,296.00, and an additional amount in the unlikely event the seller is entitled to receive any net proceeds from the short sale of the property. CONSIDERATIONS: The violations on the subject property were first presented to the Code Enforcement Board (Board) on November 20, 2012 and the Board issued an Order Imposing Penalty on First Violation stipulating a fine of $200.00 per day until the violation was corrected and full compliance was confirmed by the Code Enforcement Officer. The owner was given until December 20, 2012 to correct the violations and avoid the fine. The owners of record at the time of the violation were John and Michelle Wess. Regular 602 PAGE 1 OF 4- May 12,2014 The subject property is currently the object of a short sale. The prospective owner has placed an offer on the property but cannot secure a mortgage without reduction of the lien. If granted, the reduction of the lien would enable the prospective purchaser, Johann Von Eisenberg, to purchase and homestead the property. An affidavit of Compliance was issued on the subject property on April 3, 2014 wherein the Code Enforcement Officer found the property to be in compliance. Staff has engaged in further review of this requests based upon several factors: • The prospective owner is not the original violator • The prospective owner proposes to homestead the property. • The current lien is preventing the sale and occupancy of the property. At the Code Enforcement Board meeting of April; 22, 2014, the Board considered the request for lien reduction and recommended that the lien be partially reduced to $1,296.00 which represents the City's costs (both direct and indirect) of administering the lien. The Board attached four(4) conditions to their recommendation: 1. The property be homesteaded by the buyer. 2. The property be maintained appropriately until such time that the closing continues. 3. That the property continues to remain code compliant. 4. The sale takes place within sixty (60) days of any final action by the City Commission. If not, the Board's recommendation is rescinded. At the Code Enforcement Board meeting of April 22, 2014, the total amount of the lien was mistakenly represented as $172,992.42. Staff has determined that the actual total of the lien is $94,192.45. All other aspects of the lien reduction request remain, as detailed in this agenda item. The applicant has thirty (30) days to pay the reduced lien amount after action of the City Commission, assuming the Commission grants the reduction. If the reduced amount is not paid within 30 days, the applicant has to wait a year before they can apply for a reduction. The partial release will be executed and conveyed under the condition that the short sale actually occur within thirty days unless the City Manager grants an extension for good cause. The City will advise the short sale closing agent, by written estoppel letter, that the City will provide the executed partial release at closing under the following payoff schedule: 1. Upon the short sale closing, a check made payable to the City of Winter Springs in the minimum amount of$1,296.00. 2. Subject to the City's receipt of the final short sale closing statement verified by the closing agent, any net proceeds due the Seller (violator) shall be paid to the City of Winter Springs up to the total amount owed on the lien of$94,192.43. It is very unlikely, but if the total amount of the lien is paid, a full release will be executed and provided by the City. 3. The partial release offer shall expire within thirty (30) days of the date of the City's written estoppel letter unless the City Manager agrees to extend the estoppel letter, in writing, to accommodate a delay in the short sale for good cause shown. Regular 602 PAGE 2 OF 4- May 12,2014 FISCAL IMPACT: The City should receive a minimum of$1,296.00 for the partial release of lien.

Upon the short sale closing, a check made payable to the City of Winter Springs in the minimum amount of$1,296.00 shall be delivered to the City. 2.

It is very unlikely, but if the total amount of the lien is paid, a full release will be executed and provided by the City. 3. The partial release offer shall expire within thirty (30) days of the date of the City's written estoppel letter unless the City Manager agrees to extend, in writing, the estoppel letter to accommodate a delay in the short sale for good cause shown. 4.

Code Enforcement Division—Police Department CASE # 12-0027758 Michelle And John Weiss 1125 Ermine Avenue Winter Springs,Florida 32708 Sec. 2-61.5. Application For Satisfaction Or Release Of Code Enforcement Liens. Original Hearing: August 21,2012 Non-Compliance Hearing: February 26,2013 Inspector: Christi Flannigan Inspector Christi Flannigan, Code Enforcement Division, Police Department briefly covered the process outlined in the Winter Springs Code of Ordinances to which applicants may apply for a reduction or satisfaction of a Code Enforcement Lien. Photographs were shown from Evidence `WS-1' with additional comments. Next, Inspector Flannigan noted, "The amount of the Lien is approximately one hundred and seventy two thousand nine hundred ninety two dollars and forty two cents ($172,992.42). That is as of April 14`h. The recommendation by Code Enforcement is that the Lien not be reduced any lower than a total of one thousand two hundred ninety six dollars and thirty cents ($1,296.30). This amount is for the cost of Code Enforcement personnel time, mailing fees, past administrative amounts of a hundred and fifteen dollars and seventy four cents ($115.74), and a grass cutting Lien for seventy six dollars and seventy one cents ($76.71)." Inspector Flannigan submitted "`WS-1', which is the CD (Compact Disc) of the presentations for today." Discussion.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD C REGULAR MEETING-APRIL 22,2014 PAGE 5 OF 16 Mr. J. Scott Jones, Owner, J. Scott Jones Realtors, 110 North Orlando Avenue, Suite 12, Maitland, Florida: noted he was the listing agent of the property; the previous owners vacated the property; the work that has been completed at the property has been done by himself, fellow realtor Maribel Zimeri,the buyer, and the neighbors; and does not want to see the property go into Foreclosure and sit vacant for an undefined amount of time. j■•. In addressing the Code Enforcement Board, Captain Deisler added, "One of the options available to you is a Release with conditions and that is what I'm going to suggest. I understand that the buyer intends to Homestead it and move here and live in it. That is step number one (1). If that condition is not met, then the deal is done and I would ask that any paperwork or agreement that are drawn up to affect, that the language is clear. If the property is not homesteaded by the potential buyer,then the deal is off." Board Member Matthew Criswell asked Mr. Jones how long the transaction could take. Mr. Jones replied, "The Short Sale was cancelled because it dragged on so long. But they said, `If you can get the lien removed, we'll be glad to restart it immediately.' So I would say we are looking at from the day the lien comes off—probably thirty (30) to forty (40) days. The buyer is willing to continue in maintaining the lawn." Further discussion ensued on ensuring that the property stays in Compliance during the lien reduction process. Lastly, Captain Deisler stated, "I believe we need to make sure we focus on a Partial Release of Lien as it relates to this property only. I think if you Release the Lien, you Release the Lien on the person's other Real Property that they own and we don't want to do that. I just want this house freed up." Chairperson Fisher clarified the conditions of the Partial Release to be that, "The property be homesteaded by the buyer and that the city be reimbursed for expenses totaling one thousand two hundred ninety six dollars and thirty cents ($1,296.30)...." Captain Deisler added, "...and furthermore that the property be maintained so that it doesn't go into Violation for anything else." "I WOULD MOVE THAT THE LIEN ON THIS PROPERTY PARTIALLY BE REDUCED TO ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY SIX DOLLARS AND THIRTY CENTS ($1,296.30), SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: (1) THAT THE PROPERTY BE HOMESTEADED BY THE BUYER; (2) THAT THE PROPERTY BE MAINTAINED APPROPRIATELY, UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT CLOSING CONTINUES; (3) THAT THE PROPERTY CONTINUES TO REMAIN CODE COMPLIANT; (4) AND WE GIVE SIXTY (60) DAYS — IF THE SALE DOESN'T TAKE PLACE WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS, THEN THIS IS RESCINDED."

IF NOT, THEY HAVE TO GO A YEAR AND THEN THEY CAN APPLY AGAIN. SO, THEY HAVE THIRTY (30) DAYS TO PAY THAT, AFTER CITY COMMISSION'S FINAL SAY."
