Address 15811 Gifford Ln Springhill Fl
Violation Address: 16243 Monteverde Dr Springhill Fl
REQUEST FOR WAIVER/REDUCTION OF FINE
Mr. Lero read the case into the record.
Ms. Elsa Larson stated her name for the record. She stated that most of the issues at
hand were something she could have avoided. The contractor, who originally placed
the doublewide mobile home in place in July, 2005 did not put it together and it got
damaged during the rain storms. She stated the history of her case and her dealings
with repairs to the mobile home as well as with the County. She was originally told she
couldn’t get a demolition permit because the trailer was too old and she couldn’t keep it
there. She went back to the County in February, 2008 to get a demolition permit and
was asked why she wanted to remove it. She has since been approved for the permit
to place the mobile home there. In the meantime, fines have been assessed and
accruing for non-compliance.
Mr. Lero explained this was a PID that came to him in March, 2007 and heard by the
Board on June 20, 2007. At that time, the Board allowed 60 days to obtain the permit or
face a $100.00 per day fine. The fine amount at this time is 268 days of noncompliance
with a total of $26,800.00 plus interest and filing fees.
Chairman Tucker asked if it was in compliance now.
Mr. Lero stated the Board Order was they obtain a permit which they have done, so the
fine was stopped on May 15, 2008; the day prior to the issuance of the permit.
Chairman Tucker confirmed that all they were dealing with now was the fine.
Mr. Carroll asked if Ms. Larson had documentation that the County had sent her to
show that she tried to stay on top of this.
Ms. Larson stated she had a lot of documentation.
CHAIRMAN TUCKER MOVED to review the documentation and move it into evidence;
MR. BLACK SECONDED.
Chairman Tucker called on the motion; the vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
Discussion followed regarding the evidence submitted by Ms. Larson.
