Ivan Doverspike, the owner and Curtis Paulson, property manager were sworn in for testimony. Mr. Doverspike stated that the biggest problem is that he lives in Michigan and by the time the notice of violation reaches him the time for compliance has expired. He has asked the department to notify Mr. Paulson of any violations and he would see that things were taken care of. He did ask that Special Magistrate reduce the fines even more; however, Special Magistrate Blandino felt Staff was being more than fair in reducing them to $1,200.00. Mr. Doverspike said that it was fair and asked for 60 days to pay.
Motion was made by Frank M. Blandino that after reviewing the 3 criteria required by Rule 16, the fines be reduced to $1,200.00 payable within 60 days. If not paid the fines would revert back to the original amount and a lien would be recorded at the St. Lucie County Clerk of Court’s Office.
