Ms. Swartzel submitted 2 photos dated 2/10/09 and 3/31/10. During her first inspection on 10/1/09 she found the
property in violation of Section 13.09.00, Exterior property maintentance, Article 303.7, roofs and drainage,
please obtain a permit to repair or replace the roof. A compliance date of 11/12/09 was issued. She has had
contact with the owner and discussed ways to correct the violations. As of 4/6/10 the property remains in
violation. Mr. Crankfield appeared at the January, 2010 Code Enforcement Board and the Board continued this
case for 90 days to allow Community Services funding to be processed. Mr. Cranfield believed he would have
money at that time to repair the roof.
Mr. Crankfield said he did apply for funding that was available but it was for a new home. ( ***Recorder’s note: At
the January meeting Ms. Jessica Parrish, Housing Manager, St. Lucie County Community Services Dept. spoke
on Mr. Cranfield’s behalf. She explained that he applied twice through Community Services, but the house needs
to be torn down and rebuilt before they can build another house and the roof can’t be fixed. Mr. Cranfield did not
want the house torn down.) Mr. Crankfield said he applied for a loan on 3/5/10 to fix the roof, that loan is in
progress, and he has spoken with a contractor and received a firm price, and the bank spoke with the contractor.
Mr. Crankfield is presently living in the house.
The Board discussed the amount of time to get the permit, roof repaired and inspected and agreed to an
extension to July 1, 2010.
?
Ms. Monahan made a motion in reference to Case #64254 that the Code Enforcement Board make the
following determination: After hearing the facts in this case, the testimony, and the recommendations of
staff with regard to the existence of a violation that we determine the violation in fact did occur and the
alleged violator committed the violation. An Order of Enforcement is warranted. If the Order of
Enforcement is not complied with by July 1, 2010 a fine of up to $250.00 per day may be imposed. Please
st
take notice that on the 1 Wednesday of the month after the date given for compliance, at 9:00 am or
soon thereafter, as may be heard, a Fine Hearing will be held if the violation is not abated by the given
compliance date.

Ms. Barrios resubmitted two photos dated 11/23/09. She reviewed the history of the violations and the
continuances. This case was continued from the January 6, 2010, Code Enforcement Board meeting and found in
default in violation of Section 11.05.01, Building and Sign Permits. (Please obtain a permit for the structure behind
the house to cover the blocks and windows and obtain a permit for the guest house with screen enclosure.) A
compliance date of 2/5/10 was issued. The permit for the guest house is still pending for review comments. At the
February CEB Meeting Ms. Niranjan requested 60 days to visit sick family members. Ms. Niranjan was unable to
make today’s meeting due to a broken ankle and is on bed rest. She requested more time and staff has no
objections if the Board grants an extension.
Dr. Ingersoll recalled the case and some of the comments concerning the energy calculations, and asked what
she has done to mitigate the violations for the guest house. Discussion ensued on the time needed. Mr. Bunt
advised the energy comments were not the only comments to be addressed, and engineering needs to be
reviewed. She has discussed the issues with Mr. Sisco and more is needed for an extensive review. The Board
agreed to an August extension.
?
Mr. Stickles made a motion in reference to Case #54616 that the Code Enforcement Board continue this

meeting of December 2, 2009 and continued to the April 7, 2010 Hearing. At the October 7, 2009 CEB meeting
the case was found in violation of Section 11.05.01, Building and Sign Permits –please obtain a permit for the
deck and the steps, and inspection of the dock. On 11/4/09 Mr. Dupee met with the Zoning Dept. Supervisor and
the County Variance staff and told a variance would be needed to meet County Code setback requirements. He
contacted Growth Management to obtain an application to request a variance. Mr. Dupee has kept staff informed
of his meetings with County staff and the Nettles Island HOA.
Page 3 of 8
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD April 7, 2010
Dr. Ingersoll recalled the case that had a drop-down bridge walkover that connected the deck over the sidewalk,
which is a common area in violation and the porch/deck was in violation of the setback.
Mr. Dupee explained the steps he had taken to get a variance and correct the violation, and displayed a letter
from the Nettles Island HOA dated 3/12/10 from Maurice Lepine, Property Manager. He discussed the size of the
deck being allowed and cited the letter from Nettles Island, and said he did not have enough time to get the
variance. He requested more time to get an Administrative variance.
The Board discussed the letter from Nettles Island, the citation from the County requiring a permit, that the deck
exceeded the size allowed, the bridge across the sidewalk, and the required inspections. *** Dr. Ingersoll read the
citation into the record for clarification. Mr. Dupee provided documents that were displayed. Mr. Bunt identified a
Notice of Commencement, permit #0802 0085, for the electric for boat lift on the dock, for 2008.
Maurice Lepine, 5047 N. A1A, #906, Fort Pierce, Community Assn. Manager, Nettles Island, was sworn in by Ms.
Williams. He met with Mr. Dupee on several occasions, the Association has the same setback rules as the
County, 4 X 4 over utility easements, and told Mr. Dupee if he had a 3 x 5 they wouldn’t have a problem.
Addressing the bridge, their documents do not allow anything over the seawall and the common area.
Dr. Ingersoll confirmed that Mr. Lepine’s letter stated if he reduced his patio to 3 x 5, it was OK, and the
drawbridge goes.
Mr. Stewart Gartside, 690 A1A, Nettles Island, was sworn in by Ms. Williams. He is an architect and on the Board
of Nettles Island, and he explained Mr. Dupee’s request for a variance for the size of the deck. After review of
their rules the Committee agreed to deny the request. The next two units down were cited by the County for
decks larger than 4 X 4, (photo displayed) and they were required to comply and have changed them. The bridge
is not allowed and the edge of the deck is over the common area. Further discussion ensued on the length of
time the issues have been on-going.
Robin Meyer, Building & Code Regulation Manager, formerly Assistant Director, Growth Management was sworn
in by Ms. Williams. Mr. Meyer explained the time for requesting a variance, normally about 2 or 3 months to get
before the Board of Adjustment, and applying doesn’t guarantee you will get one. You have to show unique
circumstances, hardship, etc., and wanting one isn’t justification for the granting of a variance.
Mr. Stickles reviewed the permit issue, the variance and the bridge extension. Ms. MacKenzie-Smith advised a
permit for the setback would require a variance first, then apply for the permit.
Mr. Lepine clarified Nettles Island had 381 properties, the County has strenuously enforced the HOA Documents,
Declarations and Rules and they are cooperating. Out of the 381 units inspected, 45 were not in compliance, and
20 have begun the process of coming into compliance.
?
Mr. Stickles made a motion in reference to Case #58708 that the Code Enforcement Board make the
following determination: After hearing testimony, the facts in the case, and the report of staff that
violation still exists, and after considering the gravity of the violation, the actions if any taken by the
violator to correct the violation and any previous violation, we make the following determination: A fine
of $250.00 per say shall be imposed for each day the violation exists, starting June 15, 2010, with the
maximum fine not to exceed $5,000.00. A cost of $125.00 shall be imposed as the cost of prosecuting the
case.
