September 25th, 2025 to order.

The first thing on the agenda is roll call, so I will have all the co-compliance officers introduce themselves.

Renee Kearney, Code Compliance Administrative Supervisor.

Danny Ron, Co-compliance Manager.

Sharon Shivers, Fire Marshal.

Jessica Cotterman Hearing Clerk.

Todd Mead, Co-compliance Supervisor.

Hector Cincinnati Customer Service Representative.

Hold on.

There we go.

Next on the agenda is my statement about how the hearing is going to proceed this evening.

This is a public meeting, which means that no general public comment will be accepted, but each of the respondents and the coded enforcement officers here tonight and any witnesses each of you call will be able to present evidence to me regarding each case and the violations of the Del Tona City Code that are being alleged.

I am an attorney and appointed by the city commission to render decisions in these code enforcement cases to determine if a violation of the city code exists and what fine will be imposed, if any.

If you are here for a massey case, you might see that next to your case number on the agenda.

That means that I will be determining solely whether you have come into compliance in a timely manner in accordance with the previous order the special magistrate issued in your case and will not be reopening the case to determine whether or not a violation existed in the first instance.

Any decision I make this evening will be put into a written format in the form of an order.

A copy of my written order will be provided to the city and then mailed to you as

well.

It is important to note that for any order I issue, you may appeal by filing a written notice of appeal with a circuit court within 30 days of the execution of my order pursuant to Florida statutes section 162.11.

The procedure of the hearing today will be governed by chapter 162 Florida statutes.

Formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but fundamental due process shall be observed and shall govern the proceedings.

Hearsay is admissible, but only to support other competent and substantial evidence.

If you are respondent, you will be able to testify, tell me what you think I need to know about your case, and present evidence and witnesses.

Your testimony will be under oath, so I will be a swearing you in, and this hearing is being recorded.

For each case, I will call the case number and the city will proceed first.

The city has the burden of proving that the code violation exists, and then you will be allowed to respond.

For each case, I intend to admit the case file and the PowerPoint presentation.

You should have received a copy of the case file when you came in this evening.

Um if you did not, please let me know uh when I call your case.

Um 046 2025 2031 Saxon Boulevard Suite 110.

Um if you're here for that case, again that's fire 046 2025.

Um, then you do not need to stay.

We will not be hearing that case this evening.

Uh

I will go ahead and swear in everyone who intends to testify today as a group, which includes the co-compliance officers.

So if you're able, please stand and raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

If so, please say I do.

Thank

you.

All right.

Um, I have no uh ex-party communications to disclose, and so we will go ahead and get started with the cases.

My

name is Steve Brockhoff.

I'm employed with City of Deltona as an enforcement officer.

This will be a case number DEL 25-104 City of Del Tona versus RDG Investments LLC.

Property addresses 1211 Abigail Drive in Deltona.

Parcel ID number is 813005480140.

This is a violation of City of Del Tono Ordinance Section 66-19 subsection three uh improper uh parked trailer RV boat, which states that uh boats, trailers, recreational vehicles should not be parked or stored within either uh the public uh right-of-way or within the portion of the lot lying across the full width of the lot between the front lot line and the front most part of the principal structure.

Statutory requirements for this notification of hearing have been met by a notice of hearing and notice of uh code violation were sent certified mail to the property owner at the address listed at the property appraisers records.

Both notices uh were posted at City Hall and the property at least uh 10 days prior to this hearing.

In addition, both notices were sent uh to the registered agent, which is Michael C.

Berry, uh, at his address at six uh 916 Shorecrest Avenue uh and posted on the door at that address.

All evidence this case, including photographs have been marked as exhibits and submitted to the code board clerk.

I certify that any and all photographs be true in accurate portrayals of what I observed the day that they were taken uh or obtained via public records.

Uh in this case began uh October 6th when I noticed uh trailers improperly parked on the vacant property.

Uh the property is well groomed, but is and uh but it was cleared without a permit uh and but it's still considered an undeveloped property.

Uh since there had been a previous case, I posted notice of violation with a compliance date of October 15th and requested certified mailing.

On October 22nd, I I inspected and found the property still be in violation, and October 27th I requested this special magistrate hearing.

To date the property is still in violation.
