You may be seated. All right, good evening to everyone. We will begin calling the individual cases in just a moment. A couple of other items on this initial list I'll just disclose for the record. I've had no ex parte or contact with any parties or other individuals about the substance of any of the cases on tonight's agenda. So The only communications I've had with the city about any case on tonight's agenda has been for the purposes of making sure that the exhibits and other materials have been provided to me. I have the agenda and minutes or the minutes rather from last month's meeting. Are there any objections to approving those minutes at this time? All right, hearing none, the minutes from last month's meeting are approved. Do we have any announcements for the record at this time?

Yes, sir, we do, Your Honor. We'd like to withdraw fire 040-2026. That's repeat of fire 050-2025, and that's 1200 Deltona Boulevard. All right. Also, we'd like to withdraw DEL 26039, and that's 1235 Providence Boulevard. Let me find that one. Also, DEL 26042. It's 2900 Surf Drive. Got it. fire zero three nine two zero two six and that's 1851 el cam boulevard thanks and we'd like also fire zero four one two zero two six eight ninety north state road four fifteen all right and we're going to continue Case DEL26016, that's 1432 Tivoli Drive.

And we want to continue case DEL 26046, and that's 1948 Saxon Boulevard.

No, no, sir.

All right. Very good. Let me get all of the officers and other witnesses sworn in at this time. We'll get everyone taken care of at once. If all of you who are expecting to testify in any of the cases tonight, if you would please raise your right hands for me. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you'll give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

No.

All right. Very good. With those matters out of the way, we can begin calling the cases.

Yeah, our 1st case will be D. E. L. 2, 6044. That's 2017 Galveston Avenue and it's a demolition appeal. All right.

Do I have the property owner here as well?

Yes, we do.

Let me see the property owner, if I can get an introduction there. Good evening. Can you tell me your names, please?

Lynette Jacobus.

All right. All right, very good. And someone is there with you?

Yes. Yeah, my nephew. Austin Black. Okay, that's you.

Very good. So this is an appeal from the building officials determination that the that the structure is unsafe. And so And we'll go ahead and hear from the city first. And let me just ask, before we get into this, this case is proceeding solely as an Article 4 appeal under Code Section 18-108. This is not a straightforward code enforcement action when you're seeking a compliance date and potential daily fines? That's correct.

No, that's correct.

Okay. Okay. And again, just to just so I get an idea of the issue. Is the city, is the order under review or order at issue requiring demolition or is there an alternative pathway to compliance by fixing up the property, getting permits and doing repair work?

Yeah, there is alternative method to do that.

Okay. All right. Why don't you go ahead then and proceed? Let me hear from the city first and then we'll come back to the property owner.

Sure, I am code compliance officer Tom Ruddy. I also wanted to mention before we start that we have amended the corrective action that was on the original notice. I'll bring that up here shortly. This is the City of Deltona v. Lynette D. Jacobus. The parcel ID number is 8130-0413-0130. This is a violation of City of Deltona Ordinance Section 18-101, unfit or unsafe structures. When any structure in the city is found to be unfit or unsafe by the building official, the building official shall require the repair, securing, demolition, or removal thereof. In this article, the term structure includes all buildings, dwellings, accessory structures, pools, and spas, and any portion thereof. A structure shall be deemed unfit or unsafe when any part of it, by reason of inadequate maintenance, acts of God, fire, age, decay, filth, deterioration, structural defects, improper design, unstable foundation, mold or termites affording the opportunity of being a nuisance to the public or a haven for vagrants or criminals or other causes shall be dangerous to the occupants thereof. or the surrounding buildings and the occupants thereof, amendments to the public health, a fire hazard, or so unsafe as to render life or property or render the use of the public street dangerous. After conferring with our legal team, the updated corrective action is as follows. If any of the following deadlines are not met, the city will proceed with the demolition process. The property owner needs to obtain a permit for either demolition or renovation within 30 days and within 90 days work must have started on the obtained permit. This property was posted with a 10-day demolition notice on June 25, 2026, as the building had been determined an unsafe structure due to a substantial fire damage sustained in a structural fire in August of 2025. There have been no permits applied for nor any attempts to bring the structure into compliance. After multiple site visits, witnessing occupants within the structure and the property being boarded up several times, a condemned notice was posted to the front door of the property on June 30th, 2026. As of today, the property is still in violation. I also want to mention that the building official is present here for any questions. That's all.

All right. Very good. Let me ask Ms. Jacobus, do you have any questions for Officer Ruddy?

Not yet, no.

You don't? Yeah. So you said we do have more time. Is that what that is? So we're looking for more time, sir. Could you explain to me what he was just saying? 90 days, I believe.

What the city is saying with respect to the amended corrective action that the Demolition would not necessarily be required if certain milestones were met. The first being the obtaining of a permit within 30 days. That would be either a demolition permit if you elected to tear down the structure or a renovation permit if you elect to rehabilitate and repair. But whichever path you choose, within 30 days you would obtain the permit. And then following that, within 90 days, you would have commenced work under the permit to, you know, have the process be underway for, again, either renovation or demolition.

Okay. Yeah, we're in the process of, we've called multiple contractors so far. So, yeah, that should be a reasonable timeframe. We're just waiting to sign with one of them. We're weighing our options with it. So, yeah, that would be fine.

All right. Do you need to hear from the building official?

What kind of permit is it?

Just the permit to start the process of fixing it. What's it called?

I don't know what the permit's called, but... We had either demolition or renovation.

Okay, all right. Demolition or renovation. So what we want to do is replace the roof and gut it first and then build it back up. So that would be... But when you say to write it down, would you just say renovation? We need a renovation permit. Do I need a roofing permit too or just renovation?

I'm helping her with the process. I don't know if the roofing permit would suffice. So, yeah. We have a couple contractors. We're just waiting to sign with one. So we'll have it ready to get, you know, at least under contract in 30 days at least.

Under the contract is a piece, but getting the permit is what the city wants to see for that first milestone. So again, if you're going to renovate, you need a renovation permit. I'm not sure, maybe the city can answer, it might be a building department question, whether you need a separate roofing permit or whether the renovation permit would cover all of that work. But the permit needs to be obtained, the renovation permit needs to be obtained within 30 days. So not just signing a contract with the contractor, but having the contractor pull the permit.

Okay, so, okay. 25 days. All right. Gotcha.

You understand?

I do. All right. So they need to be signed in there. Gotcha. No problem.

Okay. And let me ask Officer Ruddy, did I explain that correctly? I don't want to mislead the property owner here.

So on that to make sure that's okay, I'm going to have the building official step in on that one to make sure that's what's required for us to.

They would have to do a renovation, but I think to get rid of. The code cases that are outside, you would have to do the roof first.

I don't know if you can put that all in one permit. The other problems are gonna be with the plywood that is on the windows, which is another one of the code cases. So if you do those couple things, as far as the exterior where it doesn't become a nuisance, I think then you can move to the inside of the house. I haven't been inside the house. All I see is the burn all up the back.

So if we start the process of doing the demolition and the fire remediation, we should be okay?

We can get you a permit. I don't want you to lose your house, but you've got to do the work. Okay, get a permit, start the work in the time that the city of Deltona is requiring you to. Okay, you all have my phone number. You know where I work. Okay.

And he's chatting. Because I'm like, we got quotes. We're trying to make a decision, but I'm like, I don't know where to go from there.

I'm here tomorrow from eight o'clock. Do you have an email? Email too. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Chad.

All right. So going back to Ms. Jacobus, if I understand correctly, you all are agreeable to the timeframe that the city is proposing in its amended corrective action description, which would require the obtaining of the permit in 30 days and then commencement of work within 90 days. If you're in agreement with that, what I would do is essentially I would be affirming or perhaps affirming with a modification depending on the amendment, the decision of the building official with this two-step milestone process that would allow you to proceed without having to demolish the house.

I mean, if we could get more than 30 days to start the process, that would be great. 30 days for a permit, you said. 90 days to... Right, right.

I mean, if... 30 days.

Yeah, I mean, if we can get, like, two months even to start the permit process, because, I mean, I don't think we're going to be planning on doing the work ourselves. We're gonna be hiring a company to do it. We just, you know, if that takes a little bit longer to do, I mean, if we could have two months to at least start the permit process and leave it at the 90 days to fix, you know, or like start the fix, that'd be great, but...

That's really a city question, not a question for me. I mean, if the city is really entertaining some additional time on that first milestone, that's really for the city to decide. So I'll ask that to Officer Ruddy.

I'll speak to the office for Officer Ruddy. Danny Rock, compliance manager. I'm okay with 60 days. I just want to make sure that there's nobody staying at that house during this period of time.

Right.

Because we do have evidence of that being you know, that's been happening. I want that to cease if that if that is found again, then I'll bring it back to the special match to avoid this agreement that we just had

We found that out, too. We re-boarded the house up. We try to make sure nobody gets in there. You know, we go over there periodically and make sure nobody's there. But, yeah, we're trying our best to keep them there.

Yes, sir. 60 days, I'm okay for the permit. Still, I want to keep with the 90 days for commencement of the work. Yes, sir.

Okay. All right, so...

I can ask Chad how to get the permit, what kind of permit it is, because I don't know. Chad will help you out tomorrow. I'm totally lost, so I need somebody to talk to, so I can ask him. I can get that done.

All right, so I will receive the city's exhibits and evidence based on the testimony I've heard and the agreement that has been reached. I will affirm or uphold the building official's decision with the modification, if necessary, to accommodate this process, which we've been discussing this two stage process with these milestones, which would be 60 days to obtain the renovation permit or demolition permit, if you elected to go that route, and then 90 days, within 90 days, commencing the work under that permit. And I just want to make sure, let me start with the city. Am I describing that correctly? That's what the city is agreeing to?

Yes, sir. That's perfect.

All right. And again, going back to Ms. Biggumas, you're in agreement with that?

Yeah.

All right. That's what the order will provide then. Ms. Jacobus, do you have any additional questions? Any other questions?

No. It's pretty easy. It was hard in the very beginning, but it gets easier once you seek information. So, no, I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out.

All right. Does the city need anything else on this one?

No, we're good at this time.

All right. Thanks for coming in. You are free to go.

Thank you.

All right. Thank you.

Thank you. All right. Your honor, our next case will be DEL 025 A and D, 241 Fort Smith Boulevard.

Do we have the property owner? No, sir.

And you may proceed. Good evening. I am Code Compliance Officer Jeff Scott. This will be Massey case number DEL2605, violation A, C, and D. Violation B came into compliance as of July 16th. And violation E came into compliance as well. So the city of Deltona versus Aldress Cotton Stewart and German Wheeler. Their property address is 241 Fort Smith Boulevard, Deltona, Florida, 32738. Parcel ID number is 813-042-250-230. It was ruled on May 27, 2026 that the property owner was given 14 days for violation A and D, 30 days for violation C to comply. The owner did not come into compliance within those days and has been receiving a fine of $100 per day since June 11, 2026 for violation A and D. $100 a day since June 27, 2026 for violation C. As of today, the property has accrued a total fine of $8,200 over 41 days for violation A and D. Total fine of $2,500 over 25 days for violation C, which brings all three violations a total fine of $10,700. The city is requesting that the fine continue at $100 per day for each violation.

Very good. So I will receive the city's exhibits in evidence. What we're going to do is enter the order imposing the lien and the fine. In this instance, based on the testimony, we've got the fine, accrued fine to date of $8,200 on violations A and D, and $2,500 on violation C, a total of $10,700 accrued fines.

To date, the fine has accrued on violation A since June 27th in the amount of $50 per day to a total of $1,600. And that $50 fine will continue to accrue going forward.

You're on our next case, it's going to be. 26037 and that's 578 South Anchor Drive.

Hello.

Good evening, Your Honor.

Good evening. Meet Kevin Critch.

Okay, I am co-compliance officer Tina Pagan, the City of Deltona versus Harmon Nancy M. The parcel ID number is 813003610120. This is a violation of City of Deltona ordinance Section 18-5, adopting the latest edition of the International Property Maintenance Code, Section 304.2, which states that all exterior surfaces, including but not limited to doors, doors and window frames, cornices, porches, trim, balconies, decks, and fences, and shall be kept in sound working condition and maintained in good repair. Exterior wood surfaces other than decay resistant woods shall be protected from the element and decay by painting or other protective covering or treatment. Corrective action for said violation is to repair, replace damaged exterior surfaces, wall windows, and garage door. This case was opened on... March 28th, 2026, I arrived on site and observed disrepair window, exterior wall, and garage door. I spoke to Kevin, who claimed he was son of the homeowner. Kevin informed me that the property previously belonged to his mother, who has recently passed away in the fire that occurred on the premises. He mentioned that he has recently visited the property to clean up the debris, which is why the house remained in the condition it was due to the fire. I advised him that I was giving him, I mean, due to the circumstance, I was giving him two months to address the violations. On June 4th, 2026, I arrived on site and observed the violation remains, disrepair windows, exterior wall, and garage door. On June 16th, 2026, I arrived on site and the violation remains. Disrepair windows, garage doors, and exterior wall. The case requests 30 days for the property to come into compliance with a fine in the amount of 100 per day for each violation past the aforementioned date, totaling $300 a day.

All right, so the three violations, what exactly are the three violations? Windows, doors, and?

It is exterior wall, the window, and the garage door.

All right. Is there anyone here for the property owner?

Yeah, I'm here. Me and my two brothers, the house went into probate, so we're waiting on who's going to become the executor. And I'm waiting on the insurance company to do this. I've got to wait for the paperwork to come through. You know, everything's been filed. We're waiting on it. And it should be any day that we get the paperwork to get started on the work to get the house done. We've been doing what we can. With the house, it's a mess inside. We've been doing what we could in the meantime to get it up to par. But I see the outside looks a little rough here. I could put some more wood up or I could do what it is until the insurance company kicks in, which I can't afford to do it myself right now.

But as soon as my insurance kicks in,

I could get started on the work. I'm insured. The house was insured. We're waiting to get the executor. From there, we're going to go ahead with the insurance and get the house finished. We haven't got the paperwork back from the state for the executor of the will. We just haven't gotten any word yet. I call them every day. It's not like I'm not trying to get this done. It's... That's where I'm at, at the situation. A fine's not going to help me any. I don't have no money to begin with. I'm just trying to get this house done. I want it done just as bad as you guys do. So I'm just waiting on the insurance, which should be any day now. It's been three months I've been waiting. So everything's been filed. We're just waiting on the answers, and we're going to go ahead from there.

I have a question for the son.

Yeah, let me get the son's name, if I could, just so we have the record clear.

What's your name, sir? My name's Kevin Krich, K-R-I-C-H. K-R-I-C-H?

Yes, sir. And your mother is Nancy M. Harmon? Yes.

Yes.

All right. And go ahead. The city's got a question for you.

Sir, is anybody living in the house right now? Nobody's living in the house. Somebody's always at the house. We've got three shifts. I have three brothers. Two brothers. Someone's always there. Because we're stealing all the stuff out of the house. The house got robbed three or four times. So we're supposed to summon up at the house. I'm coming over from Orlando every day. My brother's coming from... Oklahoma, you know and my other brother my other brothers coming from down south So we got to take shifts at the house to make sure nobody robs anything We can't you know, so it's someone is always at the house, but nobody's living there. I It's all my mother's stuff. Everything got trashed. If you've seen it, it's crazy.

May I? At the moment, I have not received any information of the insurance to the home or the process of it getting fixed or any of that nature.

I could bring insurance papers in with the correspondence from the insurance company. If that helps, I don't know what you want.

I told you to bring everything you have today. I spoke to you and I told you bring everything you have today so you're able to make a case for your property or for your mom's property.

That was a week ago. I got so much going on with this house and everything else. I have another life also. I own a house in Orlando and I'm working on this also. I have two brothers helping me with this and We're trying to get everything done as quick as we can. If I need to bring in the insurance, you know, I can come bring it back down or whatever you need to do. It's my insurance.

Mr. Chris, let me ask you a couple of questions. When did your mother pass away?

She passed away. It was Super Bowl Sunday. It was a week after Super Bowl Sunday. So it was the Sunday following that. So it would have been around the 6th to the 7th.

Like early March of this year? Or February or March of this year?

Yeah, it would have been February or early March.

All right. So about five months ago, more or less.

Four.

Okay. And you mentioned probate.

It's not in probate per se. You know, we had to get together and figure it out. My brothers, you know, my brothers scattered around the state. And to get everything together, what we want to do, we don't make who the executor. And so it's, you know, we filed it, we filed it, it's filed in there, and we're waiting on new answers. It's... I guess it doesn't happen overnight.

Like, we thought it would so it's, uh, do you know if a petition probate case has been file has been opened in the, in the circuit core.

Well, my brother Donald's taking care of that, so I'd have to ask him, but he told me that everything's going ahead with the probate, so he's been keeping me informed, and it seems to me that he filed everything. I could get that paperwork from him if you need that, and I know I'm a little bit unprepared for this, but it's pretty hectic, the stuff that I'm going through with this. It's...

I mean, depending on the nature of the estate, it can take a while to move from probate. I assume that one of the things you're trying to do is sort out who's going to get title to the real estate.

We're not really going that way. We're going to do, we're just going to, um, we just need someone who'd be the representative of all three of us. So it's, uh, I'm the oldest, they're probably going to go, it's probably going to be me. So it's, uh, we're going to wait for the, you know, uh, the, whoever does that, the judge or the, whoever does the probate appoint someone to be, uh, the, the executor of the estate. So it's, uh, There was no will, and I have an old will, but it's outdated. It was unexpected, and it's... I just, you know, we're all trying to get this, you know, we all have different lives besides this house, and I'm working on the house. There's somebody there every day, like I said, making sure that, you know, the house is up and standing. If they want me to paint the front of the house, I can do that, but they're going to, supposedly, the whole house is going to be gutted, so it's a mute, it's, you know, I guess to keep it clean and look better, I could paint the front of the house or whatever, but... I'm pretty sure the work is going to get started very shortly on the house.

May I ask Kevin a question? Sure.

Go ahead.

Is there any power in the home? There's electricity in the home?

There's a generator.

Okay.

There's power at the house. There's water at the house. We've been working at the house. I've been there every day since this happened, working, trying to get everything together. It's not like we're sitting on our hands with this. I've been proactive with it and trying to get it done. It's taken a little longer. When my mom passed away seven days after the fire, it was... unexpected, and between the three of us to get together, me and my two brothers, it's hard, and we got everything together we needed to do, and we went and got the death certificates and everything, and we got the ball rolling, and the insurance company's holding us up until we get the executor of the estate, and as soon as we do that, we could get to work on the house. We're just waiting on that.

Mr. Critch, who's the insurance company?

It's Adler. I had the paperwork at the house. I have correspondence between us.

You said there was a fire? When was the fire?

The fire was in the garage. It was Super Bowl Sunday that the fire was. Oh, okay.

So that happened at the same time.

Yes. So there was a fire, and then a week after the fire, my mom passed away. 2 weeks before that, my brother passed away about a year ago. So it's been a rough year and I'm trying to get this done and it's, uh. It's I'm not dragging my feet on this. It's a. It's a red tape is what I'm going through.

All right, did you have anything else you wanted to offer?

That's about it. If you need me to bring the insurance papers or whatever I need to bring in, I'll bring them in. And then I could, you know, I'll have my brother fax over the, um, the, um, the stuff from, uh, the shit got me stuck there.

Um, the executive, you know, did you say, did you say someone's you're not living at the house, but you're, you're,

Staying at the house. Me and my brothers take shifts. We put in eight hours each. We all go to work. We work, too. So nobody's staying at the house, living there or sleeping there. We're just at the house. We put in our shift, eight-hour shift every day, all three of us. Sometimes one of us will have to stay for two shifts. It matters who's working or what. It's not like no one's living in the house, per se. We're just there, making sure that my mom's stuff stays intact. And we got most of the stuff boxed and put up. We're getting about there. I can't leave the house wide open like that. Three nights in a row, the house got ransacked after the fire. I was with my mom in a hotel. over in orange city and we get back to the house and you know it had been ransacked three days in a row the lady that was just here before too i don't know what she's right around the corner from me she said the same thing happened to her um but it's uh there's family heirlooms and stuff in the house that i you know and it's that that's all you know nobody's living in the house all right does the city have anything else on this one no i have no further comments all right um so uh here's what i'm going to do on this one this is a little bit it doesn't look like that she had today's picture it was it's it's better a little bit it's you know it's that's today that's today that's just garbage cans and stuff all the stuff was cleaned up it's uh you know we've been mowing the grass and everything else it's If I need to paint the front, I'll paint the front. It's kind of... The damage to the garage is I had good insurance, so they're probably going to replace everything. It's going to go down to the brick, he said. The insurance guy had told me in the beginning, you know, we're probably going to go right down to the brick. I could, you know, I could make it more pleasing to the eye to whatever needs to be done. It's it's kind of to do the work and then have to do it again. And it didn't make sense to me. But now as time is dragging on, you know, maybe it has to be done. So it's I don't know. I don't know what you guys want me to do. So you let me know.

Well, here's yeah, here's what I'm going to do, Mr. Critch. First of all, I'll receive the city's exhibits and evidence. And based on the exhibits and the testimony, I'm going to make a finding of violation as to the violations charged in the notice. However, I'm going to reserve ruling on the amount of the fine, daily fine to be imposed and the compliance date. And then I'm going to set a status review for this case for next month next agenda that would be august 26th mr critch i want you to come back next month with additional information about the insurance claim that you've been discussing and the probate proceeding so they have a better idea of what exactly is happening in those tracks and that way i can make a better decision as the appliance they should be okay i mean i'm sympathetic to your situation but at the same time there is a violation here that needs, you know, some problems here that need to be corrected. But you're a little vague on some of the details as to the probate and the insurance. Those might be relevant to setting deadlines. Again, I don't want to be unduly harsh or unreasonable. We do need to get the property in compliance, but I do want to give you a chance to bring in some additional information that I can take a look at, especially with respect to the insurance that you discussed. and the probate proceeding, again, so I can have an idea of what the timeline would be for a potential insurance settlement that would help you pay for the cost of the repairs, as well as the legal proceeding, which might sort out who's going to have the responsibility for handling the property, who's going to become the owner of the property, the record owner of the property. Do you have any questions, Mr. Chris?

No, I got no questions. You know, I'll try to get it. I'll get all the info. I'll bring my two brothers with me. And this next thing, you know, we'll have all the paperwork, you know, to show what's going on. Hopefully by then we'll get the work started. You know, we've been waiting for it for a while now. So.

All right. So just so it's clear to you and on the record, I'm finding a violation. I'm setting the case for a status review conference at next month's agenda on next month's agenda. That will be August the 26th. At that time, based on the information that you bring forward, Mr. Critch, and any other developments the city presents, I'll make decisions as to what to do going forward, which may include the the establishment of a compliance deadline and the imposition of daily fines for noncompliance. But I do want to see some additional information about this before we decide those issues. So there is a violation. I just want to be clear about that. It's clearly established. But I'd like to look at these other matters so that we can make a better decision, hopefully, on the coercive measures to be taken so that, again, that it's not unduly harsh, but it does move this forward towards compliance. as quickly as reasonably possible. Does the city have anything else on this one?

Yeah, I just want to confirm his telephone number, which is 386-631-3134. No, that's not it. That's not it no more?

You know my number? It's a new phone. Okay, no problem.

You got my number, thank you. Just leave me a voicemail with your name and the phone number, and that would be great. All right, Kevin, you take care. All right, thank you.

Mr. Critch, one other thing there before you leave, just to follow up with that last question. It's to your benefit to keep the city's code officer fully informed. And to that end, whatever you're going to bring to next month's hearing, you should provide to the code officer as soon as you can so that the city has a full opportunity to review the materials as well. I mean, just as it may impact my decision, it may help the city with its decisions. So if you can keep the city informed to the greatest extent possible, that's. something that may be to your benefit. So I'm just going to urge you to do that as well, all right?

Okay. My brothers are going to be over this weekend. Both of them will be there. So my one brother will be tomorrow. I won't see him. And then my other brother, but this weekend I'll see them both, and I'll get everything we need together, and I'll call them during the weekend. I'll get this stuff ready for her on Monday or Tuesday.

All right, Mr. Chris. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. You're free to go. I'll see you next month. Thank you. All right.

Okay, you're welcome, Kevin.

Y'all, our next case will be DEL 26038, and that's 1968 South O'Mill Drive.

I am Co-Compliance Officer Tina Pagan, the City of Deltona versus Byrne Tyler and Byrne Jody G. The parcel ID number is 813-00-915-0160. Violation City of Deltona Ordinance Section 18-3, adopting the latest edition of the Florida Building Code, Section 105.1, which states that any owner authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert, or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit. Corrective action for said violation is to obtain a permit. Applications must be submitted to the city of Deltona 2345 Providence Boulevard, Deltona, Florida 32725. The structure must meet all requirements of city ordinance and be approved on final inspection. Contact our office with the permit number when obtained. This case was opened on May 15th, 2026. It was brought to my attention that this property had a secondary driveway, vehicles parked on a secondary driveway, no permit obtained. I arrived on site and saw there was a vehicle parked with attached trailer On 5-22-26, upon arrival, I observed the vehicle parked in the secondary driveway. A review of the records indicated that no secondary driveway permit registered. I arrived on site on June 3rd, 2026, and observed a permit has not been obtained for secondary driveway. As of today, there is no secondary permit driveway registered. The city requests 30 days for the property to come into compliance with a fine in the amount of $250 per day for each violation passed or formation date. You may talk.

The secondary driveway is the one with... With the truck. With the truck, yes. Got it, yeah. All right, pretty good. And do we have anyone here for the, oh, and just to make sure I got this correct, the compliance date the city is recommending is when, 30 days?

30 days.

Is that August 21st?

That's correct, sir, 31 days. 30 days. August 21st, right.

And $250 per day total?

Correct.

All right.

Is there anyone here for the property owner?

Yes, Tyler Baron, the property owner.

All right. Mr. Byrne, do you have any questions, first of all, for the code officer?

No questions at this time.

All right. Why don't you proceed? Do you have some testimony?

Okay, yes. I have, as of July 19th, attempted to correct the issue and bring the property back up to code. It was up to my awareness that the violation was that the city property that had the the crushed rock um placed on it was causing a violation they wanted a permanent structure so at this time i had removed it um in hopes that that would bring the property up to code until i can finalize the project in the future and get that permanent structure there what you're saying is you've removed the crushed rock so that what's there now is what a dirt replaced the soil that was removed yes um the original issue was because i had been parking on the grass which was against city ordinance so i was attempting to correct that issue i was told that i had to i by reading the book that i had to place a non-permanent structure like a crushed rock or asphalt milling so i attempted to correct the violation with that with that issue and then found myself in the violation of The 1st, 5 feet of city property, so I had attempted to remove that to bring the property back up to code.

All right, I'm just looking at the pictures here in the in the exhibit folder. I. I don't I don't see the, I don't think I'm seeing the. Corrective work that you've done was that just recently done.

Um, it was done as of July 19 at the 1st, 5 feet of the property where you could see actually, I've done it about 10 feet, but I made sure that the, the. first, the five feet that was out of violation, I made sure to put back soil, which was the material that was removed.

Let me just ask the city then, the officer, if he's removed the aggregate or the gravel, whatever it was, and replaced the soil and put the stock back in.

Okay, but the thing is that... Is that... Yeah. The thing is that at the moment, he's currently still parking in that area, and if he continues to continue parking in that area, it's never gonna grow. So if you see there's two vehicles there already parked, as of today's pictures, he's still parking his truck there. So as long as he continues parking his truck there in that area, it's considered a secondary driveway, which is why we're asking him to obtain the permit or stop parking there because it's considered a secondary driveway for the City of Tucson ordinance.

Let me just look at it on the 722 photograph that I was just seeing. It looked like there's. Looks like the truck is parked on a concrete driveway now, but what's the surface of that?

It's a crushed rock material. because the violation or i originally had was i was not allowed to park on my grass that i had and i have i had called the city since i had attempted to reach out to the code officer i've never met her i've never been able to get in contact with her so i went down to the city and i was told i went down to the city in the middle of may when i got the violation and i was told that if i want to park i'm not allowed to park on my grass i have to park on some sort of either permanent or non-permanent structure like concrete, pavers, crushed rock material. So that's what I was attempting to correct originally.

Okay, but the picture that I'm looking at that's dated 7-22-2026, there's the truck and a vehicle behind it, a white vehicle I parked on. I don't know, to my eye, it looks like concrete, but... Okay. It doesn't look like you put grass there. It looks like it's still some kind of surface.

It is. I'm sorry. You go ahead. It is. It's I've replaced it with soil. Yeah, I've replaced it as of July 19th and I've put seeds down. I've tried to get the grass to grow, but at this time it's no longer the crushed rock material, which was putting me in the violation.

OK, so but you're still parking there. yes i am because to my knowledge i was allowed to park on the side of my on the side of the property or i was allowed to park on the property as long as it was not on my grass all right well let me just ask the city because i'm i'm making sure i understand here if what he essentially has is a secondary driveway that's soiled Does he need a permit for that? I understand it may be a violation of another ordinance to park there. But if he's parking on his grass or parking on soil on his property, putting aside whether that's a violation of some other ordinance, is that a work without permit violation?

that is parking in the area that he's parking in is considered a violation due to it being a secondary driveway for his vehicles. So if you see the vehicle there, it's parked there, but it's not behind the front face of the house, which is considered him parking in that area as a secondary driveway. Now, if the vehicle was behind the front face of the house and not continuously going in and out, then the grass will eventually grow, but it will never grow if he continues parking there, which is why we're considering that he has a secondary driveway.

If I could speak to my knowledge from going over the code book, It said that as long as my vehicle was registered, I'd be able to park on the front facing side of the house. I'm just not allowed to park on my grass.

It's supposed to be behind the front face of the home.

Even if the vehicle is registered? I'm sorry.

Yes, even if the vehicle is registered. Now with the crushed rocks, when he had the crushed rocks, we allowed crushed rocks to be on the property. However, it has to be attached to the driveway, which is considered a driveway expansion.

It requires a permit.

Yes, it requires a permit, correct. But the crushed rocks he laid down was actually where the truck is parked at right now. That whole area he had crushed rocks before. So it wasn't connected to the driveway. So it wasn't considered a driveway expansion due to it being separated, which is what we consider now a secondary driveway because he's parking his vehicles in that area.

All right. So if I understand then the city's position is he needs to get a permit to construct a proper driveway if he's going to have a secondary driveway situated the way that one is.

Correct. Or he or he needs to stop parking in that area with the vehicles so the grass could grow and so he could continue his project of making sure he comes into compliance with the grass growing.

at which point it would cease being a secondary driveway and wouldn't require a permit.

I'm sorry, what was that?

If he stops parking there, I guess the grass might eventually grow. But in any event, if he's not parking there and using it as a driveway, then he doesn't need a permit because it's not a secondary driveway.

Yeah, once the grass starts beginning to grow, it won't be considered a secondary driveway or if he actually applies and puts grass in that area to make it be the way it was because it's been damaged due to him driving it or him putting the crushed rocks to be able to have that secondary driveway. Now he needs to fix it in order to be compliant again.

So if, for example, he laid sod down so that there was grass there, that would Correct the violation.

Correct. Okay.

All right. Um. Uh, Mr burn, do you have any anything else you want to say or any questions?

Um, I do have a question as far as the parking goes. So, like, in this example, um. You know, due to the length of my truck and trailer not being able to fit in the current driveway. I have. I understand the city's concern of me using their section as a driveway. But if I'm using that section, not parking on my grass as just parking space and not a driveway, am I still falling out of city ordinance?

Yeah, I don't know the answer to that 1. I thought the issue had to do with where you were parking in relation to the front of the house.

I think the issue today was because of the driveway, because to my understanding, the 1st, 5 feet is city property. They did not want me to put a crushed material over city property and to drive over it as a driveway. So I corrected that issue and no longer use it as a driveway. Currently their complaint is where I'm parking my vehicle as they're speaking today. But to my understanding, it was just that first five feet. So I wanna make sure that going today, if I wanna make sure if I'm okay to park there or not, or if I'm still falling out of city ordinance, as long as I'm not using that first five feet as a driveway, and I'm not parking on my grass, am I still within code?

I don't know the answer to that one. Does the city have an answer to that?

Okay. So you want to know if you're still in compliance right now as we speak?

Yes, since I have replaced that first five feet section and since I'm not parking on my grass and I have a registered vehicle in the front facing of my house and I'm parking on a material that's not my grass.

I mean, I don't... There's there's some kind of a driveway there. So I'm not I mean, you couldn't get your your truck off the property without driving it over the 1st 5 feet. Right?

I mean, theoretically, I could if I if I went off my driveway and I didn't come in from the street. If I came into my driveway 1st and cut across my grass, I'm not on the 1st 5 feet. Theoretically, I can still park there.

Right. May I add something, Your Honor? Go ahead. As he stated, theoretically, he could access it by going down this driveway and crossing this lawn. But the problem is it's beyond the front face of the house. And in order to be parked where it's at, it would need to be behind the front face of the house, in the side or in the rear yard.

Because, and I'm trying to understand that, because what makes that a violation? I think your mic is off. I can't hear you.

I'm just trying to understand what makes that a violation since I'm not parking on my grass and the vehicle is registered.

because we have an ordinance that states you cannot park past the front principal structure of the property. So again, it would have to be, if you're looking at the corner of your house there, if that front end was behind that portion and per se you accessed it through the driveway and backed it up all the way behind that part, it would be legally parked then. But it would have to be behind the front face of your house.

Okay. And the only way to accomplish that is to have that made into a driveway. It's not the material. It's because that the driveway doesn't connect to the road.

Yeah, I mean, in order for this to be, like, if I was the homeowner here, you know, yes, we call it, it has to be a concrete apron.

Yeah.

First couple of feet from the road surface. Yes. That does require a permit, you know, through the building department. um but after that once you you know your property what you have here what have there as the you know with the rocks and stuff a board is at needs to be added um but it's doable you can have it but because you did change the surface from grass to That still requires a permit. So yes, it's still a no permit case. Yes, you did Which I don't I don't think I'd accept just the dirt in the road I prefer the grass because it was grass at one time sod Yes, we it would have to be all removed in order for you being compliance Okay, it seems to me Mr. Byrne that for what you want to do is

The cleanest way to do it is to get a permit and build the driveway there, build at least the entrance part of the driveway over that right-of-way so that you, you know, and otherwise comply with the building department requirements for that permit.

And you could park there and you could park there. Yeah, because without a permit, it'll be your secondary driveway. I still see that you still need a border, but they'll explain that at the application when you submit that. Um, but we only require concrete for the portion of the right away. Okay. And as long as it meets the zoning requirements, that's the thing that it has to, you have to provide a survey of the property so they can have an exact measurement of what required for concrete. And then from there, all you need is the borders. And you'll be good to go in and out of that property from that side.

So he'll be required two permits, the secondary driveway and the right-of-way use of permit?

Yes, and it can be done together.

Just another question of, so the current state that I'm in, as long as I start stop parking there, am I up to code and out of violation?

No, you still have the rocks on the front part. It used to be grass.

Okay, so if I take up the rock that's from the front-facing part of the house to the street, and you want it remedied with sod or soil? Sod. Okay, and as long as I bring that up to sod, then I'll be up to code, and I just can't park on the front-facing of the house. I don't understand that.

That's correct, unless you're in the driveway, but no boats, trailers, and RVs are allowed in the driveway but up to two days, you know, for preparing and...

Unloading and reloading.

Okay. Storage.

Understood.

If you have any questions, I'm gonna leave you my business card so you can talk to me.

Okay. All right, Mr. Burn, you kind of, you know, a couple of different ways you can bring the compliance. Um, as I say, it seems to me like to do exactly what you want to do. The permit might be the best route, but. As it's just been discussed, you could get into compliance by. putting sod over the right-of-way and restoring it back to its original condition with the grass there and making sure that your vehicle doesn't extend beyond the front face of the house. Understood. All that being said, then I'll receive the city's exhibits in heaven. It's based on the testimony I've heard. I'm going to make a finding of violation. I'll set the compliance date to about 30 days to August 21st, 2026 as recommended. So Mr. Byrne, one way or the other, you need to either get the permit or permits, I guess, for the driveway or the secondary driveway. or put some sod over that front piece there in the runaway and keep your car back behind the front of the house. If compliance is not achieved by that date, we're going to start running a daily fine and the city recommended $250 a day. I'm gonna make that $100 a day for this violation. and that would start running on August 22nd if compliance has not been achieved. I do want you to stay on top of this and avoid that monetary penalty, just to bring this into compliance one way or the other, and you can avoid that. Do you have any questions, Mr. Byrne?

I don't, thank you, Your Honor.

Does the city need anything else on this one?

Nope, that'll be all.

All right. Thanks for coming, Mr. Byrne. You're free to go. Good to see you.

Thank you.

Yeah, and our next case will be DEL26040ANB, and that's 2280 Robinson Road.

Good afternoon, my name is, I'm Code Compliance Officer Bashir Turkzi. This is the City of Deltona versus M&M Living Trust, 81715. DL2640AMB. Parcel ID number is 813508030160. This is a violation of the City of Deltona Ordinance Section 18-3, Adopt Florida building code, no permit. City of Deltona ordinance section 18-3, adopting the latest edition of the Florida building code, section 105.1, which states that any owner, authorized agent, who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, Repair, remove, convert, or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit. Corrective action for said violation is to obtain a permit for pool, which is the violation A, and the concrete work, violation B. This is a proactive case that was opened December 14, 25. While investigating a nearby property for code violation, it was discovered that a pool and a concrete work have been added to this property without a permit on file. A notice of violation was posted on January 20, 26, and the property owner was given until January 29, 26 to comply, to come into compliance. As of today, no permit application have been submitted and the property remains in violation. The city requests 30 days for the property to come into compliance with a fine in the amount of $250 per violation per day past the aforementioned date.

All right.

Is there anyone here for the property owner?

Yes, sir. I'm on the phone, on the line.

You're on the phone? Yes, they are, sir.

Yes, sir, I'm on the line, yes, sir.

All right, and what's your name?

My name is Milton Manzueta.

Can you spell your last name, please?

M-A-N-Z-U-E-T-A.

Manzueta, Milton Manzueta. All right, Mr. Manzueta, do you have any questions for the code officer?

No, I just want to put on the record that Mr. Beshear has represented the city well. He came by and he let me know of the situation. When he came to me, I can provide documentation to the city. I've had two major surgery, neck surgery and my lower back spine surgery. And I've really been out of work and in financial hardship. So which has, you know, I could have done the work if I were physically able, but I have not been. But now I'm coming out. And I am requesting a 90-day extension to come into compliance. If medical documentation is needed, I can provide it. But I've been out. So I'm in total interest in being in compliance. I will follow through. I will take care of it. And I will pull a permit within 30 days and have the work complete within 90 days. All right.

It might be more than one permit, but 90 days is... Let me ask the city. City is asking for 30 days. Property owner seeking additional time. Does the city have any position on that?

I believe the property owner was asking 30 days to obtain the permit and 90 days to complete the repairs. Or whether he plans on removing the structures.

That is correct, Mr. Beshear. Well, not a problem. I'd be more than glad to. Mr. Beshear, he saw my condition when he came. My back, I show him my back, my lower back. surgery, stitches, et cetera. He saw it, so I'm not making those stories up. But 30 days to pull a permit and 90 days to be in compliance. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Your Honor, and the city is okay with that.

All right. Very good. So then here's what we'll do. I'm going to receive the city's exhibits and evidence based on the exhibits and the testimony. I'm going to make finding violation as to those charges set forth in the notice. We have two violations, A and B, for which the Compliance deadline will have essentially two milestones. The first one will be at 30 days out, August 21st to 26th, the owner needs to obtain the necessary permit or permits for these violations and by 90 days out, we'll need to have completed the work and had those permits finalized and closed by final inspection. If compliance is not fully achieved, and either or both of those milestones is missed, a daily fine of $250 per day per count for a total of $500 will begin to run on the next day after the compliance date and run until compliance has been achieved. So it is important, Mr. Menzueta, that you stay on top of this to avoid that financial penalty and make sure that this property gets brought timely into compliance. Do you have any questions, Mr. Menzueta?

No, I just want to thank Mr. Beshear and the city for allowing me the opportunity to take care of it. And thank you.

All right. Does the city have anything else on this one? It is. No, that'll be all.

Thank you.

All right. Thank you. Thank you for coming in, Mr. Benz. Whether you're free to go. Thank you. Yes.

I then gave him options to work with the city to start removing boats on a weekly basis until the property is found in compliance, which he then informed me that he would be seeking legal counseling for this matter. Returned back to the property for reinspection on June 17th 2026 and found the property still in violation with too many vehicles still present I then proceeded in posting a notice of violation and sending it out certified mail.
