Aaron Hoeffer was sworn in. He said he saw no signs saying he couldn't park there. There was nothing about the grass or the sidewalk either.
Code Compliance Manager Arraiz said they have received several such complaints. The City can't mark every right of way, sidewalk , and any other spots that are State regulated for no parking; they mark the spots where you can park.
The Special Magistrate found a violation does exist and the violators are ordered to pay the amount on the citation $50.00 as indicated payable within 30 days of the hearing date. She waived the administrative fee of $10. Failure to pay the total amount within 30 days will result in the case being turned over to the St. Lucie County Court and an additional fee may be charged.

Roderick Duff was sworn in. He said his place was unsuitable for keeping cats. He put them in the van to take to sister's house. He returned home and BJ took the cats. He has no cats now. He surrendered them to Operation Catsnip. He does have a dog.
Code Compliance Manager Arraiz said they would drop all the charges but 1 contingent upon him complying with the other case involving his dog.
Special Magistrate found Roderick Duff responsible for the violations and due to the cats being returned to the animal welfare organization, she ordered the count dropped to 1 for a total of $250.00 contingent upon him complying to case number 19-0644 within 30 days. He has 60 days to pay the $250.00. If 19-0644 does not come into compliance within 30 days and he does not pay the $250.00 fee within 60 days the fines will revert back to the original amount and count. Failure to pay such fine would then result in the citation being forwarded to the County Court System where more fines may be assessed.

Donique Rhaheed Clark was sworn in. She said the notice was sent to the property address, but she wasn't living there at the time. She had not changed her address with the property appraiser's office until recently. She works out of town and was in Chicago when the violations began accruing fines. She said she found out about this by seeing her name on the website for a hearing. She immediately contacted the officer, Heather Debevec, who told her what she would need to do to bring the property into compliance.
She said she applied for the permit and had to go out of town again for her job. She gave the paperwork to her Dad to deliver, but he forgot.
When she got back into town she got married in December and forgot about the violations. She got the notice about the fines and contacted Officer Debevec and asked for more time. She was told to go before the Special Magistrate and ask for the fines to be stopped to give her a chance to comply.
The Special Magistrate, after reviewing the 3 criteria required by Rule 16 and after considering the facts, ordered the fines be stopped from accruing for 60 days to allow property owner to correct the violations. If not corrected within this time the fines will begin again and a lien filed with the St. Lucie County Clerk of Court.

Mohammed Chowdhury was sworn in. He said in 2014 & 2015 he had several break-ins or attempted break-ins. He had the company move the alarms closer to the door. When someone trys to open the door in the early morning hours the alarm goes off. But, the alarm company doesn't notify him. Instead they send the police and most of the time it's been false alarms.
Special Magistrate Ross asked him again if anyone from the store is contacted and he said no, not that he knows of. She said that is very unusual and continued the case until May 1 to give him time to contact the alarm company and confirm that no one was notified.
The Special Magistrate continued this case for 30 days to allow time for Mr. Chowdhury to obtain proof of the break-ins. Next meeting May 1.
Samantha Legere was introduced as a student intern. She said she had graduated from University of South Florida and was now going to law school. She was shadowing Special Magistrate Ross for the day.
