B. Community Development Department - Code Enforcement
Division
Requests The City Commission Considers The Request Of Chanh
Nguyen For Forgiveness For A Code Enforcement Lien Of
$186,000.00 Against His Property.
Commissioner McLeod asked if notification was made by Certified Mail
and added, "Mr. Manager, would it not be wise that we send this kind of a
notification when we are levying a $250.00 a day fine against a piece of
property as certified mail - to the property owner?" Manager McLemore
stated, "Yes."
Regarding notifying violators, Commissioner McLeod suggested to
Manager McLemore that such a procedure be put into operation within
thirty (30) days. Furthermore, regarding proof of notification, Mr.
Carrington said to Commissioner McLeod, "I know that they were
notified. Now, you asked me if they were notified by certified mail, return
receipt requested and I honestly don't know the procedure, I can find out
for you." Commissioner McLeod then stated, "And I basically asked that
if we don't have that procedure, to put that procedure in place."
Mayor Partyka then inquired, "Does this Commission agree with that last
position?" Commissioner Martinez stated, "Sure." Deputy Mayor
Gennell said, "By certified, return receipt, yes." Commissioner Blake
stated, "I thought we already were doing that." Commissioner McLeod
then stated, "And we may very well be doing that - I just want to make
sure we have that procedure."
GENERAL
CONSIDERA TIONS:
During Code Enforcement Board Meetings, when the Code Enforcement
Board makes a "Finding of Fact" and then states their "Relief Order," this
information is stated verbatim in the Minutes from the particular Meeting
and the identical verbatim text is included in a document (printed on City
letterhead) which is signed by either the Chairperson or the Vice
Chairperson, and is then mailed to the violator(s).
The document is typed usually the very next day after a Meeting, and
certainly within three (3) business days of the Meeting, at the latest. All
notices are mailed out via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested."

Discussion.
Commissioner Blake said, "How would your client react to a requirement of annexing in
the other portion of the property as part of that settlement?"
Mr. Chanh Q. Nguyen, 4409 Steed Terrace, Winter Park, Florida: briefly addressed the
Commission.
Commissioner Blake then stated that his recommendation would be that "I would ask the
rest of the Commission that in any settlement that we decide to make with the landowner,
that we require as part of that agreement a requirement to annex in that adjacent parcel
that is not currently in the City." Commissioner Blake further explained that "My
requirement would be - the adjacent parcel that Mr. Ngyuen owns right here which is
next to the one in question with the Code Enforcement action, that that be annexed in as
part of the settlement."
Commissioner McLeod asked if notification was made by Certified Mail and added, "Mr.
Manager, would it not be wise that we send this kind of a notification when we are
levying a $250.00 a day fine against a piece of property as certified mail- to the property
owner?" Manager McLemore stated, "Yes."

REGULAR
CASE #CEB-02-0000417
Ms. Cook entered into the record "The Statement of Violation and Notice of Hearing" for
"Sunstate Trees and Chelsea Parc Homeowner's Association' which is the property
owner". Ms. Cook stated further, "We have the green card back for Sunstate and
although we don't have the return green card from Chelsea Pare that they are represented
here this evening." Ms. Cook clarified the violation and location; and spoke of the past
citations given to Sunstate Trees which were entered into the record.
Deputy City Clerk. Debbie Gillepsie, swore in those persons who may be providing
testimony during the presentation of tonight 's case.
Mr. Michael Mingea, Environmental Inspector/City Forester, Code Enforcement
Division, Community Development Department was asked by Ms. Cook whether he had
met with representatives of Chelsea Pare Homeowner's Association to discuss the
requirements for tree removal; if Chelsea Pare Homeowner's Association had "Pulled a
Permit"; and whether he observed tree removal from the common area of Chelsea Pare.
Mr. Mingea responded affinnatively and explained that when he saw the tree being

removed he stopped and asked the "Sunstate representative - for his Arbor Permit, he
was unable to produce and asked him to call the office." Mr. Mingea requested a meeting
with the company and prior to leaving the area he measured the tree which was sixteen
inches (16") in diameter.
Ms. Cook said, "We are bringing this to the Board in leu of another citation. We - feel a
citation is a warning - but it does not seem to do the job and it would be another $300.00
to do the cost of doing business. We have cited Sunstate [Trees] four (4) times with
citations, another time with warnings, and here is this other time. I just don't feel that a
citation would - do any good here. I think we need a stiffer penalty. The Homeowner's
Association must share in some of this blame. They were aware that a permit needed to
be applied for and obtained. Sunstate [Trees] was aware that a permit needed to be
applied for and obtained."
Ms Cindy Cox, 1421 Creekside Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of being a new
member of the Chelsea Parc Homeowner's Association Board; acknowledged that a
permit was needed; and was told by Sunstate Trees that they would get the permit.
Brief discussion.
Mr. Angelo Sparteri, 264 West State Road 434, Longwood, Florida: as an agent of
Sunstate Trees he spoke of his company assisting homeowners with the application for
the permit, but that the homeowners are responsible for obtaining the permit and payment
of fees.
Chairperson Krebs asked, "Your people are out there, they have no permit but are cutting
down a tree. How is that possible?" Mr. Sparteri replied, "That was incorrect. Because
of it's not being a home, I guess not knowing that - he could verify - calling up - to see if
there was one - probably would have been the way to go." Chairperson Krebs said, "But
you are doing business, you are the one who is supposed to know whether or not there is
a permit. And if you don't have one in your hand, you don't cut a tree." "Yes ma'am.
That's absolutely true," said Mr. Sparteri.
