Kevin Deese was sworn in. He said he bought the property and advertised it on Air B & B. He failed to do his homework as far as renting the home out and once he received notice of the violation he "snoozed" the ad. However, it would become "unsnoozed" several times over the year. He has now obtained his BTR and renting the property legally. He asked for 6 months to pay the fines.
Special Magistrate reaffirmed her orders of October 18, 2018 that Kevin J & Heather L Deese have conducted short-term rentals. The rentals that have already commenced are considered irreversible and irrevocable in nature, and a fine equal to one week’s rental or $2,670.00 is to be assessed payable within six (6) months. She also ordered the immediate cease and desist order from the City be imposed and all future rentals be terminated. She ordered that after the 30- day period, if not complied, all utilities to the premises were to be suspended while the violation continues. The violator has 30 days in which to appeal the decision in the Circuit Court of St. Lucie.

Section(s): 16-46, 16-47, 16-48 (4) - Parking on Other Than Pavement
Michelle Kovich and Craig Bousley were sworn in for testimony. Ms. Kovich said she had a very active outdoor family. She said her kids come home and want to play basketball outside so they move the cars and park them on the grass so they have a safe place to play. She said, however, if you were going to live on South Beach you had to suffer the consequences of the beach patrol and every time they see the cars parked off the driveway they call code enforcement.
Special Magistrate Ross reminded Ms. Kovich and Mr. Bousley that people who choose to live on South Beach and areas as such choose it for the atmosphere and location. There are organizations such as South Beach Association who wants to make sure residents who choose to live in these areas conform to the rules and ordinances of the City and Association. If you don't want to do this you need to find another area to live.
Peggy Arraiz, Code Compliance Manager, said when the code officers drive by and see kids playing, they don't cite the violation. But, if the kids are finished playing, put the cars back where they belong. She said another solution would be to establish an area of the yard for parking the cars. Get with the engineers and do some landscaping like logs and gravel etc.
Officer Debevec said when she drove by a few days ago the outside storage had been taken care of; but, today when she went by she noticed a refrigerator out front. This needs to be moved to an inside storage area.
Special Magistrate found that the violation(s) listed on the summary sheet do exist and that Michelle Kovich has committed or is responsible for the violations. She ordered that the violator(s) have 10 days in which to comply with the city code of ordinances. In the event the violation(s) are not cured or complied within the time period given, a fine of $100.00 per day will be assessed for each day the violation(s) continue(s) past the date set for compliance. The violator has 30 days in which to appeal the decision in the Circuit Court of St. Lucie County.

Darrell Dawson, manager, was sworn in for testimony. He said the call to 911 had come from someone in the parking lot.
Ms. Arraiz asked him about the call sheets being dated August and not July. She asked if he had the July reports. He said no, but he could get them.
She asked if he could get them by the next week and asked that the case be continued for the December 12 hearing.
After listening to the testimony of Alarm Assistant Ricker and the manager of Roy's Liquors, the Special Magistrate continued this case for the next hearing date December 12 to allow time for the parties to obtain the call sheets from the alarm company.
After hearing all of the cases Code Compliance Manager Arraiz stated that proper notice had been served to the violators and requested the Special Magistrate issue a default judgement for the violators not present.
Special Magistrate issued a default judgement and asked how they were noticed. Code Enforcement Clerk Greer then read a prepared notice stating the actions that took place to notify the violators of the meeting date.
Ms. Arraiz then asked the Special Magistrate to review the City Commission meeting from the night before. Commissioner Johnson was interested in how the Code Enforcement Department and the Special Magistrate came to the reduction/rescindment recommendation. There is a meeting February 11 at 9:00 am to discuss and decide whether there should be any changes to the procedures.

Colleen Greer
Code Enforcement Clerk
