He's here live. My name 137 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,800 is 138 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:04,320 one of the projects that worked on the administration of the 139 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:10,839 process. We had very good meeting yesterday. 140 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:22,399 Uh he has been very cooperative in terms of trying to come up with the 141 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:29,200 procedure and finally determination of of the value of the trees that were 142 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,200 taken up not taking off I think after yesterday's 143 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,560 myself 144 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,720 process 145 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:51,640 Egypt and it's it's outlined in great 146 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,240 major steps. So understand 147 00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:17,839 the first step in the process 148 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:26,480 itself and the town's artworks to to conduct a site visit where we 149 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:32,079 inventory based on what evidence is available on the site. How many trees 150 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:38,560 have we taken? We identify 151 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:46,959 species. These are all native trees. We identify the species and identify the 152 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:53,040 size. Now what I mean about size is the diameter of 153 00:12:49,920 --> 00:13:01,560 the acronym for that E diameter breast height 154 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,560 is 4 and 12t off the ground. 155 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:13,480 That's that's the principal characteristic that we use to to 156 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,480 estimate value. 157 00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:24,160 The next step is take the information in. We 158 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:30,240 identified I believe it's 24 different trees that that were taken and 159 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:37,920 we also categorize those trees into specimen 160 00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:43,079 trees and non trees 161 00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:43,079 large 162 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:50,440 historical tree on the site that particular 163 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:10,399 Now eight eight special ingredients will take. 164 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:17,120 So the first step in the permit process and 165 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:21,680 the next step in per process is is uh we attempt to 166 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,000 Identify those trees 167 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,839 based on site and 168 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:38,959 we like I said I said 169 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:47,560 the trees trees and not looking at the nonspecimen trees first uh we 170 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,560 come up with a 171 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:57,680 value of the diameter tape. For example, if if there were 10 trees 172 00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:06,639 taken and and each of the trees had two inch diameter 173 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:14,320 diameter is is is 25 25 in. And we take that 25 in and we convert that to the 174 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:19,680 dollar amount using the same procedure that Palm Beach County uh environmental 175 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:29,839 resource management. They they give us a uh a wholesale value 176 00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:37,839 of of each tree by by species based on a 25 in diameter. Okay. If using my 177 00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:43,279 previous example, if the total diameter taken was worth 25 178 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:52,000 in, we would divide that by the county in 179 00:15:47,760 --> 00:16:00,720 that that would give us essentially 10 trees at the value of each tree. 180 00:15:57,199 --> 00:16:07,279 Um I think so and we have the value you know 2 and 1/2 in diame 181 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:14,320 for for each of the species that were taken that that value was provided by 182 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:20,639 public set so so cumulative cumulatively 183 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:29,360 add that up for for all the spe that's the value for for the nonspecimens 184 00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:35,839 the value of of the specimens we we start with the same procedure. 185 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Well, we come up with the cumulative diameter, but 186 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:48,880 the pound in the code 187 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:54,480 has as an extra penalty if we don't. for chain specimens 188 00:16:51,360 --> 00:17:01,839 requires that that we multiply that that final number to times three. So we 189 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:09,280 determine the the valuing of of each item for study and the bill price of the 190 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:16,799 trees and multiply that that tree. So, so then we take the uh 191 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:24,880 the accumulated value from the non-specimen trees plus the cumulative 192 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:30,480 tail for for the specimen trees and that comes up with the wholesale 193 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:39,280 uh price value for all of his free statement. One one further set of those. 194 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:45,919 Um if uh if trees were taken in violation of the of the of the town. 195 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:50,039 We take that cumulative price and multiply that by two. 196 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:59,039 » I'm sorry I couldn't hear it. >> Good morning. 197 00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:04,240 » Good morning. So, >> so we have the um 198 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:10,160 we have the non 199 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:16,799 plus the value of the species times three and take that 200 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:25,080 time into the mitigation 201 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,080 for a uh for taking 202 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:34,280 that becomes the key component of the vegetation 203 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280 remov 204 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:47,240 going through that process which is all through 205 00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:47,240 the permit set 206 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600 and 207 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:04,559 And in this case, the uh Mr. Joseph, the 208 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:11,520 owner of of the property, his intent was was to 209 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:17,200 voted by the agriculture used code by the properties property appraisers 210 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:22,880 office. So in order to do that he sent David who clear the property and 211 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:27,919 prove to the family that I'm going to agriculture. Part of that is to show 212 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:35,559 that that I'm an active business and and I 213 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,559 have an agriculture activity done. 214 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:49,440 Okay. So um in the permit um 215 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:55,919 we will we will give him uh time to gain that determination by the county 216 00:19:53,360 --> 00:20:02,799 without having to mitigate uh impact as the present time. 217 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:08,240 The uh the process to gain by agriculture use code ends in January the 218 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:13,280 1 of each year. You'd have to file between January 1 and March 1st and you 219 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:18,000 have to prove to the county that you're going to fight agriculture 220 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:24,640 business they will make make that determination 221 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:31,159 uh by August 1 and it's a retroactive determination 222 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:31,159 that back that 223 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:41,360 Dr. process allows him the opportunity to go 224 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:49,679 through that agricultural termination process by by the promis 225 00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:58,000 property purch without having to make it if he gets the bonus 226 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:09,679 he does not have to mate on studies plants in the valley of 60 227 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:16,480 60,000 out if um and but we still we still require a guarantee to be to be 228 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:25,360 posted by the prop property owner in case he doesn't get by 229 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:32,000 and we have we have two two basic ways to do that. he can make a 230 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,240 essentially a temporary deposit of of the $60,590 231 00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:45,280 with the town. If he gets to go plant agriculture um by 232 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:54,120 August 1st of the following year, then he gets that 233 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:54,120 alternative is is rather 234 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:01,520 deposit and also 235 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:06,240 opt to um credits 236 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:13,679 lage will guarantee $60,000 237 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:19,600 if he doesn't get so um 238 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:25,919 he has to uh writing us to permit at right time which 239 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:32,960 we went over with him yesterday and he pretty much is about the agreement with 240 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:36,760 the with the permit and the mitigation amount in Washington'sation. 241 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,520 So our next step is to just 242 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,720 think 243 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:54,120 and what's a complicated process. 244 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,000 » I think that's me that happens every time we speak. 245 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:13,600 So, uh, that's, uh, that's a quick run through of the process. Um, and there 246 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:18,880 there's a couple extra documents that that are attached to the uh, uh, 247 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,240 vegetation removal permit that that essentially guaranteed that process and 248 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:29,600 documents that have to be filed with with the clerk of courts um, along with 249 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:34,400 with the permit. So, Ron, like I said, that's a 250 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,320 complicated process and a quick run through. If you have any questions, I'll 251 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,799 be more than happy to answer. >> Not that complicated. 252 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,240 » Oh, okay. Good. Good. >> I mean, I don't get to make any 253 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,520 legislative determinations about multiplying times three or multiplying 254 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:52,480 times two. >> That's all done by the presiding board. 255 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:58,640 I just get to apply it when I put it down. You give me a value of the trees. 256 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:04,159 You've given me the bond slash deposit requirements. My former partner is used 257 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:09,840 to be on the value adjustment board determining a exemptions. 258 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:12,480 I know about that process fairly well. Will have some fun. How big is this 259 00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:18,000 property? >> I I see off the top of my head like 260 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:21,840 three and a half acres I think is that it has more than enough value to justify 261 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:29,919 this. It's not like someone's spray acres 262 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:34,480 of a blocky groves type more like five acre deal but close enough. 263 00:24:32,159 --> 00:24:39,919 » Okay. So we have some sort of agreement or some sort of process already 264 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:42,559 determined the property owner has agreed to this because he doesn't want to be in 265 00:24:41,679 --> 00:24:47,840 trouble >> 2.9 to delay the potential 266 00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:50,720 gets a value >> 3.82 I need to 267 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:54,080 » adjustment board determination on his egg exemption 268 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,480 application. Did you get that? All right. 269 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,760 » Um well, >> yeah. 270 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:03,919 » Go ahead, Grace. >> Yes, your honor. Um yesterday we met as 271 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:08,480 Mrs. Fleshman uh said, myself, Officer Suarez, and uh Mr. Fleshman and Karen, 272 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:14,559 our community standards director, met with Mr. Joseph regarding the mitigation 273 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:19,360 fee and the specimen tree fines. The agreed upon schedules as follows. 274 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:24,320 mitigation fees of $60,990. This fee is to be paid 30 days from 275 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:28,559 today by either cash, bond, or a line of credit. It's to our knowledge that Mr. 276 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:34,960 Joseph made a phone call in front of us yesterday and he was getting the line of 277 00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:40,320 credit. Um along with that 60,990 line of credit, we would also need an issued 278 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:45,679 vegetation removal permit. Um, also eight specimen trees were cut 279 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:49,840 down determined by Jerry Renick who's on a Zoom call, which is our certified 280 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:55,039 arborist and our town PL planner, uh, Jim Fleshman. That's in their respect 281 00:25:52,159 --> 00:26:02,159 inspection report. The fee per specimen tree is $2,500 totaling $20,000. 282 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:09,880 The agreement is to pay $20,000 every 15th of the month over a six-month 283 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:09,880 period. The five payments of $3,333.33 284 00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:20,760 will begin on September 15, 2026. The final payment will be on March 15, 285 00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:20,760 2027 in the amount of $3,333.35. 286 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:31,400 I have an email from Mr. Joseph dated yesterday, August 25th, 2026, accepting 287 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,400 and agreeing with the terms. 288 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,200 » Good.

Well, >> enough. Get up to the microphone first. 313 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:31,600 » Tell us your name, your relation. My name Capella. I'm the owner of 35761st 314 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:38,080 Terrace North. Um, I received the code violation from Johnson Suarez. Um, 315 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:41,840 by certified mail and by hand. Um, I have gone through the corrective 316 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:46,080 measures to my ability to date and ultimately um, when we had verbally 317 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,600 discussed the continuence until September 8th, I will not be available. 318 00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:56,399 I'll be out of town working on September 8th. Um, I purchased the property in uh, 319 00:28:53,120 --> 00:29:01,520 April of 2024. Um, I made some improvements and I am a bonafide 320 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:06,399 agricultural business. I approached the county and requested the the tax 321 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:10,559 exemption and it was brought to my attention that I don't have to have the 322 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:15,919 tax exemption, but I did. I filed for it. They've denied it on basis of 323 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:20,399 untimely filing and I'll be allowed to refile in um the spring in the first of 324 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:25,200 the year. In the inter um he 325 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,120 I forget the gentleman's name, but he did check that I was a votified 326 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,760 agricultural enterprise. So that should fall under the 604.50 327 00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:39,760 which [clears throat] is the item called building extension of accessory 328 00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:47,679 structures and ultimately we have a we have an organizational meeting on Monday 329 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:54,720 and I believe it's with Mr. uh Columbus um which is the town engineer 330 00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:59,120 and Mr. Johnson and Mrs. and I I I came and I want you to know in good faith 331 00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:04,080 that I want to remedy these issues. I also want you to know that I feel that 332 00:30:01,679 --> 00:30:09,440 um I just heard somebody say that somebody 333 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:14,000 could be liable for $60,000 in trees on their property and it just gives me 334 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:18,640 chills because I feel like I feel this is a very invasive procedure all the way 335 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,840 around. So, I'm here I'm here to do my best to write and correct the codes that 336 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,960 I >> the invasive procedure is what you 337 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,799 bought into when you purchased the property. 338 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:32,080 » Well, but I wasn't aware of that when I signed the title. And I think the 339 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:36,159 ignorance of the law is no excuse thing that I got first school. 340 00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:39,120 » Well, I gone to law school, so I'm >> I know.

The date you have proposed of September 8th doesn't seem to work with 344 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:56,159 there's a another date in September we could use instead because I'm like the 345 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,120 second September guy. So we can push it. >> Would you be available September 23rd? 346 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,840 » September 23rd. >> That's as far back. Yeah.

So on May 21st, 2026, I received a call from public works 381 00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:44,000 director Craig Lowour advising that a portion of the road in front of 3330C 382 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:49,600 road had sunk in due to a culvert being in disrepair. The cover was under the 383 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:54,240 road coming from the property into the canal bank into the canal. CO Johnson 384 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:59,840 and I arrived on scene at approximately 3:40 p.m. At that time, public works had 385 00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:03,200 blocked off a portion of the road and were actively working to make the road 386 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:08,399 safe. While we were on scene, I contacted the 387 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:12,879 registered agent listed with Sunbiz, Karish Masheed. I made contact with her 388 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:18,159 and explained the situation. She then called me back with her father, Mr. 389 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:22,159 Patel, who is the property owner. I informed Mr. Patel that the covert was 390 00:34:19,839 --> 00:34:26,000 in disrepair and that the road had sunk in. I also informed him that the 391 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:31,040 property it is it is the property owner's responsibility to maintain the 392 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:36,720 coverts adjacent to the property. I obtained his email address and on May 393 00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:40,800 22nd, the very next day sent him pictures that I had taken. I also 394 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,399 provided him with the public works director Craig Lover's contact 395 00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:48,079 information to assist him with the with compliance and obtaining the necessary 396 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:53,119 permits. I spoke with Mr. Patel by phone in June 397 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:59,359 and he requested an an extension. The extension was granted from the June 9th 398 00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:05,440 hearing to the July 14th hearing on 2026. On July 14th, 2026, the day of the 399 00:35:03,359 --> 00:35:12,320 hearing, we received an email from both Karish Masheed and a contractor, Mr. 400 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:18,280 Gilling of GE LLC. They had mistakenly applied for the 401 00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:18,280 permit through the county. 402 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:27,040 I informed them that the permit needed to be filed through the town, not the 403 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:31,680 county. The same day I sent an email on July 14th, I sent an email to the 404 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:36,560 contractor and the property owner, the town's application information and the 405 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:40,720 link to the application. The contractor sent a confirmation email stating they 406 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:46,160 would apply through the town. The case was then continued to August 26, 2026, 407 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,280 which is today. Since that time, I have not heard back 408 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,560 from the property owner or the contractor. And that was back on July 409 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:58,880 14th. That was uh last day of the extension. No per as of today. There is 410 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,720 no permit application that was filed with the town. I emailed both the 411 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:10,000 contractor and the property owner on August 14th, 2026 requesting an update. 412 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:14,960 I received no response in that time.

Tell us who you are and tell us what you know about this situation. 419 00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:42,000 » I'm Craig Low, Town's public works director. Um, we received a complaint 420 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:47,280 from one of our actual mower operators that was mowing the area at the time of 421 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,880 this incident. Um, she said that there was a hole in the middle of the road on 422 00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:55,359 the edge of the road where you'd seen the one picture, the hole is about six 423 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:59,440 inches in diameter where the actual asphalt started caving in. Um, there was 424 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,920 another picture that you would see in there that you can see there's a full 425 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:06,880 cave that was where the whole road where the water running was running through 426 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,839 the pipe and it was just washing the dirt out from underneath the road and 427 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:14,480 there was a cave underneath the road that was going to collapse completely. 428 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Um, for the town's residents safety, we had to cut the road open, dig it up, 429 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:24,960 fill that that void of lost material that had washed in into the canal 430 00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:29,839 through the pipe. Um, fill it back full of shell rock and compact it back. So we 431 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,839 can make the road safe. >> All right. 432 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,680 » So you did not replace the cover though. >> No, sir. All we did was, as you can see 433 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:39,839 right there, we had cut the road open, cut it back to a whole lane width to as 434 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:44,000 far back as the cavity that was underneath the road, filled it back in 435 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,280 with shell rock so that we can make the road passable again. 436 00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:51,280 » Right. So you had a baby sinkhole. >> Yep. Um and you can see some of the 437 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:55,040 pictures that that picture right there is where there's another wash out on the 438 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:58,640 side of the road. That the reason why the five gallon bucket is there. to show 439 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:03,040 you the depth that there is a hole there from previous wash out. 440 00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:07,280 » Is that in your ement area? >> Um right there. I believe that one is on 441 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,440 the properties the property owner side. >> Okay. 442 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,839 » Our easement I believe stops right at the edge of road. 443 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,960 » Okay. So you don't have like five or 10 feet. 444 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,040 » No sir. >> Okay. 445 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:20,560 » And then you can see right? >> Yeah. You can see right here the bottom 446 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:24,720 of this cobra pipe is completely rotted out. There's nothing left to it. So, 447 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:29,920 normally when you see that on the side of road, that's going across the entire 448 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:33,119 roadway into the property. >> They're going to get fined and they're 449 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:36,240 going to get flooded. Welcome to Lock Crazy. 450 00:38:33,839 --> 00:38:41,359 » Yeah. [laughter] Um, we are we are continuously adding shell rock to this 451 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:44,640 hole because every as it rains when water does build on the property, it is 452 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:49,040 trying to flow through the pipe and it is it does start washing the material 453 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:54,000 back out from underneath again. So, we're continuously adding material. Um, 454 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:59,599 now they get to do the additional expense of undigging or digging out all 455 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:02,240 the patches we put in and compacted through. 456 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:06,960 » Correct. >> All right. Well, that'll be good for the 457 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:15,160 contract. Adds more to his bill. All right. So, basically for purposes of us, 458 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,160 what do we want? 459 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:24,160 So the town is requesting that they can in 30 day in 30 days to obtain the 460 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,960 rightaway permit and complete all repairs [gasps] 461 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:34,720 and if they do not come into compliance $250 a daily fine thereafter. 462 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:40,240 Additionally is recommended that administration costs incurred in the 463 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:44,320 amount of $4966 be assessed in order to be paid to the 464 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:49,920 town of Flagachi Groves. prepare to submit the full case folder.

He says yes, they can get 466 00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:58,400 the rightway permit and complete all repairs within 30 days. That the 467 00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:02,560 permitting shouldn't be an issue. >> All right. Well, no permitting should 468 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,680 fly through backho. >> Yeah, this shouldn't take long because 469 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,160 they're going to do a light gas pipe. You know, they're not doing all new 470 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:12,160 construction. They're just going to replace the pipe that's there. So I've 471 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:15,760 already spoke with our our town engineer about this process already and he he 472 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:20,800 believed as well that this you know as pering wise it should go by pretty fast. 473 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:24,079 » All right question of how long it takes them to dig and build 474 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:28,320 » and to acquire their contractors >> because 475 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,599 basically we're in we're in the rainy season. 476 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,960 » Correct. >> You know the damage that they're going 477 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:37,920 to accumulate by not having drainage is going to be on their own property 478 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:43,280 » anyway. So they get to have fun with both of these. All right. So, I grant 479 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:51,280 the, uh, request to have a 30-day order to permit and repair the roadway and 480 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:56,480 replace the covert, $250 a day fine if they do not do it in a timely fashion 481 00:40:53,440 --> 00:41:00,000 along with $409.66 in admin sees.
