REQUEST:
The 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.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission
considers the request ofChanh Nguyen for forgiveness for a code
enforcement lien of$186,000.00 against his property.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUB]~IC POLICY:
On January 14,2002, Ordinance 2001-62 was adopted that set in place the
procedure for requesting reduction or forgiveness of a code enforcement
lien.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Oct. 25, 1999 Half of Mr. Nguyen's property on Orange Ave. is annexed
into the City. This half is comprised mostly of a former
borrow pit that is now a pond. No zoning classification
was assigned.
Nov. 22, 1999 Michael Mingea, City Forester, alerts DEP that illegal
dumping and filling is occurring at the site. The City had
no filling regulations (that's probably why the owner
wanted that half annexed into the City). DEP does not
respond.

CASE #CEB-02-0000417
Ms. Cook entered into the record "The Statement of Violation and Notice of Hearing" for
"Sunstate Trees and Chelsea Pare 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 affirmatively 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.

the Board Members; and spoke of the history of this case.
Discussion.
Mr, George B, Wallace, Esquire, PA., 700 West First Street, Sanford, Florida:
addressed the Board and stated, "- advice from an individual- up until October when he
brought it to my office. He has worked diligently with me and with City Staff to fix it -
once somebody wasn't giving him poor advice. Mr. Nguyen doesn't speak really clear

Also Mr. Wallace asked that "Ms, Cook will indicate that Mr. Nguyen himself has
always tried to be cooperative - pleasant - not belligerent, and not antagonistic with the
City."
Ms. Cook acknowledged that Mr. Nguyen has been "Very cooperative" and that she
encouraged him to hire an attorney. Ms. Cook also said, "I do believe that he was lead
astray. On the other hand, I believe he let himself be lead astray and I don't believe a
total satisfaction ofthis lien is called for here."
The Board asked if foreclosure proceedings had begun and Ms. Cook responded, "No
formal action has been filed at this time."
Mr. Wallace said, "We ask for a forgiveness because since I have been retained Mr.
Nguyen has done pretty much everything he could as quick as a pace as he could to try to
get this matter straightened out and - if the Board feels an absolute forgiveness is not
appropriate because of the length of time and other factors - then we would ask the Board
amend our affidavit to ask for a reasonable fine amount that Mr. Nguyen might have
some capability of satisfying."
Mr. Chanh Q. Nguyen, 4409 Steed Terrace, Winter Park, Florida: stated "I do aware
that I had the fine and violation"; was told by the person that created the problem that the
mulch had been removed; and explained.his confusion about actions taken by the City of
Winter Springs and Seminole County.
Discussion.
The present condition of the property and possible costs to the City were discussed. In
response Ms. Cook said, "The property owner is petitioning you for a reduction. My
opinion would be the property owner should supply you with that information. I am not
going to try his case for him." Discussion.
CHAIRPERSON KREBS SAID, "I MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS
- IN THE CASE OF CEB-99-818 - A REDUCTION TO THE FINE IN THE
AMOUNT OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($20,000.00) FOR MR.
NGUYEN AND HAVE THE CITY - ARRANGE FOR A PAYMENT PLAN."
MS. COOK SAID, "THE REDUCTION TO TWENTY THOUSAND (20,000.00)
NOT UP TO TWENTY THOUSAND?" CHAIRPERSON KREBS THEN
REPLIED, "A REDUCTION TO TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($20,000.00)
- FROM ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN THOUSAND (187,000.00) AND

for "A reasonable reduction under the circumstances."
Mr. Goravitz was asked if a. gas station is still in the plans for the property. Mr. Goravitz
replied, "Right now we have the opportunity to file a Vested Rights case against the City
and trying to get a gas station built. That is our absolute last resort if we can work out
these code enforcement issues and do a different plan of sort. I don't expect that we
would build a gas station but there is no firm plan in place with respect to what we are
going to do."
Discussion ensued regarding the City's request for an opaque fence; past communications
with A VA Anthony; possible Vested Rights litigation; the "Relief Order" stipulations;
and the date of compliance.
Mr. Goravitz said, "We could stipulate as part of a settlement here that we wouldn't
pursue the Vested Rights claim." Additionally Mr. Goravitz stated, "I just spoke to Mr.
Gowni and if there was a recommendation for a nominal fine which goes to the City
Council as part as any final documentation with the City Council we would agree not to

developing." Brief discussion.
Ms. Cook suggested, "The City might ask that in making a recommendation, you include
a provision that the property, at least for mowing, be maintained on a regular basis now
that the Attorney has eluded that money is coming in and they might be able to do that if
it is overgrown again." Discussion
City Manager Ronald W McLemore arrived at 10:09 p.m,
Chairperson Krebs briefed the City Manager on the offer regarding possible litigation
regarding Vested Rights and whether the offer would benefit the City.
Tape 3/ Side A
Manager McLemore spoke of the City's likelihood of winning the litigation and stated.
"It's probably fifty/fifty (50/50), so there is some exposure to the City from a financial
prospective if that litigation is pursued. So there is a value for that going away. The flip
side of that is that the City has had a lot of cost and aggravation and still - piece of
property. The current owner did in fact come forward to try to do something with that
property, clean it up because of a decision of the City Commission, I was unable to do
that. So, the best I can advise you is, yes there's something of value and I would think
something of substantial value to that litigation, potentially going away."
Manager McLemore departed the Meeting at approximately 10: 17 p.m,
Discussion ensued regarding possible reduction figures; costs to the City involving this
case; possible stipulations to the reduction; and how long before the property will be
"Cleaned up". Mr. Goravitz said, "We'll mow it within seven (7) days and. . ."

Re: Application for Elimination of fines imposed upon property owned by Chanh
Nguyen, Case No. 99-818
Dear Ms. Cook:
My client's property is located one-half in Seminole County and one-half in Winter
Springs city limits. Sometime around the end of 1998, he had materials brought to the
property for the twofold purpose of: (1) repairing a seriously eroded slope of a pond on
the south side of the property and, (2) to generate a small amount of revenue from the
property.
Seminole County Code Enforcement took exception to the mulch that was being
stockpiled on their side and required that it be spread out immediately, which he did. The
county waved any fines which would have been charged to him and he thought everything
had been handled.
Unfonunately Mr. Nguyen did not realize that the code violation action brought by
the City of Winter Springs was separate and apan from the code violation action brought
by Seminole County. Due to this misunderstanding, he failed to appear at the code
enforcement hearing and, as a result, violation was found and fines imposed. He was
under the impression that the city knew his intentions were to fill a portion of the pond
located on the property and that these intentions complied with the City of Winter Springs
codes. Many months passed before he understood that fines were accruing and that many
thousands of dollars had accrued already.
He now had fines, a pond with a still unfinished slope, and a big problem with little
understanding of how to resolve it. He had also been depending on help from the person
he purchased the property from Mr. James Meade. UnfortUnately for my client, Mr.
Meade's knowledge of how to h.mdle the growing situation was not as great as my client
thought. Mr. Nguyen came in for a consultation, where he informed me of the situation.
Once I was retained I set up an appointment to meet the City's attorney out at the property
to figure out exactly what needed to be done. I then contacted my client to forward this
, \
.,..... ",
.." ,:.. .' ~ i.
information to him and he acted immediately to resolve the situation (sometime around
March 15, 2002). ' . ':
We are respectfully requesting that you eliminate the fines against my client's
property. Had he completely understood what was taking place from the beginning and
not been "steered" in the wrong direction from the previous owner of the property, he
would have immediately taken whatever actions were necessary to resolve the situation.
Mr. Nguyen can assure the City that no future violations will occur. A copy of the
Affidavit of Compliance executed by you is provided herewith.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE B. WALLACE, ESQ., P.A.

TO:
Ron Mclemore, City Manager
THROUGH:
Charles Carrington, Community Development Director
FROM:
Jimette Cook, Code Enforcement Manager
RE:
Foreclosure reconunendation
On June 19,2001, the Code Enforcement Board recommended foreclosure on an undeveloped parcel
located behind Winter Springs High School. There is an outstanding Code Enforcement lien on the
property in excess of$100,000, The property was annexed into the City several years ago at the request of
the owner, but was never assigned a zoning classification. There is an abandoned borrow pit on the
property that occupies most of the parcel. The parcel is located on the east side of Central Winds Park.
The Department of Environmental Protection, the St. John's River Management District, and other local
and state agencies have been concerned about environmental issues on this property for some time.
I am requesting that we move quickly to ascertain ifforeclosure is in the City and the community's best
interest, and if so, promptly begin proceedings.
