0:36

Hi.

0:36

Good evening.

0:38

Everybody here this evening is here for either an extension of time or a mitigation.

0:45

When your case is called, come up to the podium, uh state your name and the address that you're here on behalf of.

0:51

If you're here for an extension of time, go thinking how much time you need.

0:55

So when you come up to the podium, you can explain to the board what you've done so far and how much time you need.

1:00

The director may have uh more or less time that they recommend, they'll make their recommendation, the board will vote, and you'll have your extension of time.

1:09

When you're done, you may want to take the piece of paper that tells you how to request an extension of time in case you need more time and you forgot how to ask for it, take that paper with you, it'll tell you how to ask for it.

1:19

If you're here for mitigation, while you wait for us to call the extensions of time and go through those cases, if you want to pick up this chart, it's over here to my right.

1:28

It explains based on the kind of property, what the board can and cannot do.

1:34

And I've said this over and over again.

1:37

The board cannot do more than what is on this cheat.

1:40

That is all they can do.

1:42

If they can go to zero with unanimity, and what you put forward is compelling, they'll consider it.

1:49

There's certain property, so they cannot go to zero or they cannot go below the stated amount.

1:53

So take a look at this while you wait so you understand more or less where you fall on this chart.

1:59

When your cases complete on the mitigation and the board votes on the mitigation, come over to the side and wait for me over here.

2:06

I'll pick up your order once the chair signs and I'll hand it to you and I'll hand you a piece of paper to tell you how you pay for your uh violation.

2:17

Uh if you're not the owner of the property, a managing member of the corporate entity or a licensed Lord attorney, you need a valid power of attorney with uh two witnesses and a notary.

2:28

Uh by now I've probably reviewed it.

2:30

Oh, if you did not bring one or you don't have one, come up and see me before we start.

2:35

Um and any order of the board can be appealed to the judicial circuit court of Florida within 30 days.

2:41

And also when you come up, make sure you you can move that microphone so that the board can hear you.

2:46

Don't be afraid to move it and adjust it.

2:52

We're gonna call EOTs.

2:54

The first one is on page 42, property address 1430 Northwest 28th Street, case number 00133457.

3:04

Property address 1430 Northwest 28th Street 42, but that's an uh good evening.

3:22

State your name and address for the record.

3:32

3:36

Thank you.

3:37

How much time are you looking for?

3:38

And what have you done?

3:46

Ninety days.

3:48

And I ask him what he's done so far on the property.

4:00

Nothing has been done at the property because a permit has not been given to me to be able to build.

4:05

Give me one second.
