Attorney Nix noted Board Member Gildea had turned in a Form 8B, Memorandum of
Voting Conflict and briefly reviewed Florida Statutes and the ability to abstain from the
vote.
Attorney Nix also noted recent changes to case law and a recommendation to impose
fines on a per violation basis rather than a collective fine.
Note: The Respondent was present.
Ms. Sanchez introduced the case, offered testimony on the procedures of notice and
the violation, and showed photos from the “Presentation.” The Board accepted the
packet as published into evidence without objection. Ms. Sanchez recommended a
compliance date of January 24, 2024and a fine of $80 per violation if this was not met.
Mr. Arvin Meyer, 315 Birch Terrace, Winter Springs testified about communications with
Ms. Sanchez and efforts to address violations.
Brief discussion followed on the current state of the property and a sufficient timeline
to come into compliance.
