Staci Dunn was sworn in. She said she owns a business in downtown Fort Pierce and does a lot of loading and unloading at her shop. She has paid for 4 other tickets she received but when this ticket was issued she was only two minutes late. Her personal feeling is that all downtown business owners should be exempt from the parking regulation. She loads and unloads baked good everyday and it's too far to carry a 100# cake to the city garage.
Special Magistrate advised her to contact the City Commission about having a loading zone marked for her area. Ms. Arraiz said she could start with the City Manager's office and ask for a space to be established as a loading zone.
The Special Magistrate found a violation does exist and the violators are ordered to pay the amount on the citation $50.00 as indicated. She waived the administrative charges of $10.00 and the $18.00 late fee for a total amount due of $50.00 payable within 30 days of the hearing date. 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.

CURRENT OWNER: Vitangelo R. Bitetto 1484 SE Village Green Drive Port St. Lucie, FL 34952 |
Section(s): 16-48 (1) (5) Outside Storage
Vito Bitetto was sworn in. He said he did a lien search and they found the lien was removed because of the reduction and there was no time limit. The title company is no longer in business and he wants to sell the property although he has no contract at this time. He understands that the fines are his if he owns the property; but he has put a lot of work into it. He has been working with Shaun to get the property in compliance. He said the lien never showed up when he purchased the property in 2005. He said all taxes are up to date and he has done everything the City has asked him to do
Code Compliance Manager Arraiz said the tax card shows up as a warranty deed, the title company failed to do their due diligence and are now out of business. The recommendation stood as stated.
Special Magistrate reviewed the 7 criteria required by Rule 17 and will recommend the City Commission reduce the lien from $1,400.00 to $748.86 payable in 60 days. If not paid within that time the lien would revert back to its original amount.
Respectfully submitted:
Colleen Greer
Code Enforcement Clerk
