Vice Chairperson Fisher said "I am extraordinarily pleased with the way the process has
been streamlined, both by the City Staff and the Attorney. I am just delighted that we are
able to be able to hear the Cases that we have, in the amount of time. It has gotten much
more efficient. As to the meetings that we have not had, I think it's very good that if we,
in the interest in efficiency, if we don't need to meet, we don't need to meet."
Chairperson Wood asked Board Member Wentz "You have been on this Board for a very
long time as well, you have seen a contrast. What are your thoughts?" Board Member
Wentz replied"It seems to be working fine. It's definitely an improvement."
Board Member Roero added, "The way the Board is working is very effective." Board
Member Calhoun nodded in agreement.
Captain Deisler said, "We appreciate it. Please let me make sure you all firmly
understand this — a lot of what you are seeing happened is because of them (Code
Enforcement Staff). Not because of me. They are the ones who are really out here doing
the majority of what we do and chewing on this every day. Of course, I can facilitate, but
I rely heavily upon their input and without it, we would not have this process they way it
goes now. So, I want to make sure I portray that to you."

Case# 11-0026800
Federal National Mortgage Association/Fannie Mae
601 Marlin Road
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
Sec. 2-61.5. Application For Satisfaction Or Release Of Code Enforcement Liens.
Non-Compliance Hearing Date: December 20,2011
Inspector: Jim Flannigan And Community Development Department
Corporal Jim Flannigan, Code Enforcement Division, Police Department presented the
Case and submitted into Evidence "`WS-1', which is going to be in all of the
PowerPoints (Presentations) on a CD (Compact Disc) for you this evening."
Corporal Flannigan noted that the Non-Compliance Hearing Date should not be in the
Title on the PowerPoint Presentation. Chairperson Wood said "We will just strike that."
Continuing with the presentation, Corporal Flannigan stated "This Violation was first
presented to the Code (Enforcement) Board at the October 18th, 2011 Hearing. It was
found in Violation. The Order of the Board stated that the Violations were to be corrected
by November 1st, (2011). The Code Enforcement Board found the property in Non-
Compliance on December 20th, (2011).
The Owner of Record at that time was William Riggins. The Owner now is Federal
National Mortgage (Association). The Affidavit of Compliance, when the Violations
were corrected, was done by me on April 1St, 2012. The Seminole County Public Record
shows that Federal National Mortgage (Association) applied for Certificate of Title on
November 2012 according to Seminole County Property Appraiser website."
Chairperson Wood asked when Federal National Mortgage actually obtained the
Certificate of Title. Corporal Flannigan noted"November 11th, (2012)." Discussion.
Photographs were shown from the PowerPoint Presentation. Further comments.
Next, Corporal Flannigan explained, "The amount of the Lien from November to April,
would have been thirty-eight thousand two hundred and six dollars and eighty-two cents
($38,206.82). The Community Development Division is recommending that the Lien not
be reduced any further than seven hundred and six dollars and eighty-two cents
($706.82), which covers the cost incurred by the City. This based on the problem was
corrected prior to Federal National taking possession of the property."

Inspector Christi Flannigan, Code Enforcement Division, Police Department added, "The v_.. R
way that we have come up with the seven hundred and six dollars (and eighty-two cents)
($706.82), is that we take anything the Public Works has done—if we put a lock on it, or
we repair the gate.
Inspector Christi Flannigan, Code Enforcement Division, Police Department added, "The '';
way that we have come up with the seven hundred and six dollars [and eighty-two cents] = =u;
($706.82), is that we take anything the Public Works has done— if we put a lock on it, or
we repair the gate."
Further discussion ensued on how the amount was determined by Staff and the Certificate
of Title.
Ms. Beth Duff Repair Coordinator, Coldwell Banker, 2160 West State Road 434, Unit
100, Longwood Florida: said, "We got the assignment on October 1st. By that, sometimes
the bank will give us the assignment before the actual Certificate of Title is issued maybe
the Clerk—it takes a while for them to issue the Title. The Certificate of Sale might have
been Recorded and usually there is a gap. But, they did take Title to the property on
November 11th. When we got the assignment, that day or the next day we go to the
property and we noted that the pool was covered. I don't know if the gate was broken that
day or not."
Corporal Flannigan noted "We have been going back and forth with emails and stuff, the
only date that we can come up with — apparently around March or April is when it was
covered. But, due to the fact that our rules change—we don't go out there on a daily basis
to check for the pool. I used April 1st as a guideline, just put it down as April 1st
correction date."
Continuing Ms. Duff added, "There was a Servicing Lender that had sent me an email
saying it was covered up sometime between mid-February and May 1St, or something like
that. But, we couldn't prove exactly what day.
We are intending on putting the house on the market as soon as we get all this resolved.
There were a couple of other liens, for lot clearing, that we have already taken care of.
We also this week are going to be taking care of another small issue that Christi
(Flannigan) asked us to take care of, as far as repairing some soffits. We got approval for
that this morning. And as soon as we get all that taken care of, we'll know what we can
put it on the market for."
Chairperson Wood inquired about the value of the property, to which Ms. Duff believed
it was "Probably less than a hundred thousand. I was going to say eighty to ninety
maybe." Lastly, Chairperson Wood inquired what Fannie Mae was requesting and Ms.
Duff replied "To cover the City's costs of seven hundred and six dollars and eighty-two
cents ($706.82). That is our request." Discussion.

Continuing with the presentation, Inspector Flannigan stated "The only contact that I had -....
at the time, was a message that was left stating that he corrected the window on the side
of the house; and that he corrected it and was not going to remove the board —there is a
board that is over half of it. Notice of Hearing was mailed on February 1St, 2013. It was r,
delivered February 5th, 2013 and Posted at the property on January 29th, 2013. 4, y°
Photographs were shown from the PowerPoint Presentation. Discussion.
Inspector Flannigan recommended "The owner be given until March 15th, 2013 to correct
the window. If found in Non-Compliance, a Fine of a hundred dollars ($100.00) a day be
imposed retroactive to February 26th, 2013."
Mr. Bartlomiej Nowotynski, 51 South Fairfax Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: explained
"The message that was left on Inspector Flannigan's message was, not that I wouldn't
remove the board, but I wasn't sure because the point that I got the Notification, the
window was fixed. I fixed it along with the side door that is there. You really can't see it
in the picture. I have different pictures showing that it looks broken, but the window is
fixed. The question I left on Inspector Flannigan's message was if the board is the
problem, if I need to take it out, because my garage — I really don't want people looking
in there."
Mr. Nowotynski presented some photographs and stated, "This first picture basically
shows that the window is fixed, you just can't tell. There is no glare. Pretty much the
same angle as it is in there." Assistant City Attorney Latorre noted, We've mark that
respondent Exhibit A". Chairperson Wood said, "So `RA'."
Continuing, Mr. Nowotynski commented, "Now the second two (2) pictures basically
show that there is a glare off that window. The window is there in fact. The board is in
the background." Chairperson labeled the photo `RB'.
Next, photograph `RC' was presented and Mr. Nowotynski said, "It shows reflection that
there is glass and it has been repaired." Chairperson Wood inquired "The window is
repaired, but you have some wood behind it. I'm thinking that may be the issue." Mr.
Nowtynski replied "Well the Violation said it was a broken window. I called Inspector
Flannigan to double check if the board was the issue."
Regarding whether a board inside your window was a Code Violation, Inspector
Flannigan remarked, "If it is an occupied structure according to IPMC (International
Property Maintenance Code) it's not supposed to be boarded.
Chairperson Wood asked "So, what is the City asking for?" Inspector Flannigan
answered, "Well, in light of his photos where I can't see and approach the property, the
Case would need to be dismissed." Assistant City Attorney Latorre asked "Have you
observed that it is fixed, personally?" Inspector Flannigan noted "I've been over there a
couple times and where I can be, I can't see that it is fixed."

Mr. Ben Blackman, 54 South Edgemon Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: stated,
"Originally I wasn't exactly, really sure—what's considered junk and debris—I've gotten
rid of most of that. But, there is not one item that is junk or debris on the side of my
house. Everything that is on the side of my house has to do with my work—my means of _
income. I'm a mason. The scaffold is gone, this yellow mixer is gone, then we have trash
can, trash can, recycle bin — that is not trash or debris. That blue tarp right there — those
are my scaffold planks that I keep covered. All of these items, I pretty much move almost
daily. At least every two (2) to three (3) days. Most of the time, I have two (2) vehicles
parked in front of there. There is not a single item of trash or debris in that picture."
With discussion on photographs, Inspector Flannigan conferred with the Respondent
regarding a photograph on his personal camera.
Board Member Roero explained to Mr. Blackman in relation to the equipment, "It's too
open. There is too much there and it's an eyesore for the rest of the neighbors, even
though it is important to you" and offered possible solutions. Inspector Flannigan offered
some solutions.
Mr. Blackman said that he and his wife were considering, "A wooden fence. From the
corner of the house right here — from there, over, and back. The palm tree I'm taking out
also. But, a fence from there to there and back." Chairperson Wood added "With a big
gate". Mr. Blackman replied, "A big gate. I could open it up and come back. We are
discussing actually doing that within the next couple of weeks."
Board Member Wentz said, "Mr. Blackman, if we gave you a thirty (30) day window to
put up a fence, would that be enough time?" Mr. Blackman replied "That could work.
But I have to have a Permit to do that, right? And the time to get a Permit — it takes a
little bit."
Captain Deisler said that Mr. Blackman would need a Permit and offered "I will do
whatever I can to help facilitate the Permitting through the City. I'll do the best I can. I
won't make any promises, but I'll do what I can."
Discussion.
In regards to the thirty (30) day timeframe, Assistant City Attorney Latorre remarked, "If
thirty (30) days ends up not being enough and that is what the Board approves, come
back and show that you are making a reasonable effort and I'm sure that the Board will
continue to work with you."

The Owner of Record, the Kerns, have made no contact. Chase and (Federal) National
Mortgage Bank were notified — for them filing the Lis Pendens on January 7th, 2010
according to the (Seminole County) Clerk's Office records. The Notice of Hearing was
Posted at City Hall and the property on January 29th, 2013. It was also mailed to all three
(3)parties on February 1st, 2013."
Photographs were shown from the PowerPoint Presentation. Discussion.
Chairperson Wood inquired if the property was occupied, to which Inspector Flannigan
confirmed that it was occupied. Inspector Flannigan also mentioned that the pool
enclosure screen door does not lock, the pool is stagnant, and there was junk and debris in
the backyard. Inspector Flannigan then recommended "The owners be given until March
15th, (2013) to correct the Violations. If found in Non-Compliance, a Fine of a hundred
dollars ($100.00) be imposed retroactive to February 26th, 2013."
Discussion ensued on not having to list the Real Estate Agents of properties in the City of
Winter Springs.
Vice Chairperson Fisher further inquired if the occupants of the property were the
Owners of Record. Inspector Flannigan did not know for certain, but believed after
speaking with the neighbors,that it was Steven and Kimberly Kerns.
Discussion ensued on the Lis Pendens definition and process; the pool enclosure not
being secure; and the different options available to bring the property into Compliance.
Chairperson Wood asked, "Has the City thought about having a requirement to register
properties?" Assistant City Attorney Latorre answered, "There is no discussion of it..."
Chairperson Wood suggested, "...That might be something that you may want to do.
Other cities are required."
Assistant City Attorney Latorre remarked, "We have those Ordinances in some of the
other cities we work with and they have proved helpful. I don't know that it has ever been
discussed; I just don't have personal knowledge. I can check into it."
Further comments followed on the property being a public safety and health issue;
actions historically taken by the Code Enforcement Board regarding stagnant pools; and
options available.'

Corporal Flannigan presented the Case and entered into Evidence "`WS-1', which is the

findings of Certified Mail and signed for; `WS-3' is the (Notification of) Code Board
meeting this evening that confirmed delivery; and `WS-4' is the Posting of the Property
and at City Hall."
Continuing with the presentation, Corporal Flannigan gave a brief history of the Case and
noted, "As of today, the Violations have not been corrected. The Notice of Code Board
Hearing was Certified Mail on February 5th, 2013 and received on February 16th, 2013.
There has been no communication from the property owners requesting any clarification
or extension to correct the Violation issues."
Corporal Flannigan then referenced the Code Violation definitions, showed photographs
from the PowerPoint Presentation, and noted that some repairs were made, but not up to
acceptable standards.
Further discussion ensued on the handicapped parking spaces in the parking lot not being
correctly marked, the lines were faded, and there were no signs. Corporal Flannigan
noted that it was difficult to enforce parking violations due to the issues. Chairperson
Wood asked "What needs to be done?" Corporal Flannigan responded, "The lines need
to be painted correctly. The parking lot needs to be—basically in my opinion, the whole
thing needs to be repaved to make it smooth and free from hazards. The handicapped
parking spaces — you can see the curb stops in this — they are not even attached in the
right spot where they need to be."
Corporal Flannigan also noted there were no handicapped parking signs; there were still a
large number of potholes in the parking lot, and junk and debris behind the building. In
closing and in regards to the Case, Corporal Flannigan recommended, "I am just
requesting the Original Order of the Board be recorded as a Lien."
