Address: 18714 Pepper Pike Ln Lutz Fl
APPEAL OF BUILDING OFFICIAL’S DECISION (painting)
Mr. Lero read the case into the record.
Mr. Joseph Soto stated his name for the record. He understood the reason for denial
was because of his financial situation. He stated he had documentation to show he
could pay his expenses.
Mr. Lero explained that Mr. Soto had originally presented proof of his work experience,
5 years with one company, which was acceptable. The financial statement that Mr.
Soto presented was very brief; however it met minimum criteria for the Board for his net
worth. Mr. Lero stated the reason for denial was because of Mr. Soto’s credit report,
which was very poor.
Mr. Soto explained the reasons for the credit report’s history status and stated he was
only 25 years old.

1. CCEB2006-196 Teresita Tiglao
Address 10341 Azalea Dr Port Richey Fl
Violation Address: 10341 Azalea Dr Port Richey Fl
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION ON PAYING FINE
Mr. Lero read the case into the record.
Ms. Terresita Tiglao stated her name for the record. Ms. Tiglao requested that her fine
be reduced due to the recent death of her daughter. She was limited on funds due to
medical bills.
Mr. Lero explained the history of the case which was originally heard by this Board on
August 16, 2006. The violation was for un-permitted irrigation on the site. The Board
gave Ms. Tiglao 30 days to obtain an irrigation permit or face a $100 per day fine. The
case moved forward to 490 days of non-compliance; fines have accrued to $49,000.00
plus interest and filing fees. The Board heard a request on February 20, 2008 for a
reduction of fines. The action of the Board was a $250.00 fine payable in 90 days,
which was due on May 20, 2008 or the fine would revert back to the original fine.
Discussion followed regarding the reason for non-compliance and reducing the fines.
Chairman Tucker confirmed that the homeowner was asking that the fine be further
reduced from $250.00 to $100.00 and would have until the end of July to pay the fine.
Ms. Tiglao again asked that it be reduced to $100.00.
Mr. Carroll explained to Ms. Tiglao that the Board was working with her; technically she
owed the original $49,000.00.
MR. CURRIE MOVED to reduce the fine to $150.00 due by July 31, 2008 or it would
revert back to the original $49,000.00; MR. BLACK SECONDED.

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.

Mr. Bobby Morrow stated his name for the record. He explained originally he required
an extension because he now had the permit for the pool. He had applied for a
Vacation of Easement but he was told by Lisa in the Real Estate Department that they
no longer accepted them because the new County Attorney had several on file and was
going to try something new. He iwas scheduled to go before the BOCC on July 8, 2008
to request a Revocable Utility Easement Permit. He still had to obtain a permit through
the County which had been applied for.
Chairman Tucker asked how much time he needed.
Mr. Morrow said he was not sure how long it would take after going before the BOCC.
He felt 30 to 60 days after the 8 th of July would be sufficient.
Mr. Lero recommended Mr. Morrow he be given 90 days to come into compliance. He
stated there were no fines as of yet; today was the due date.
Mr. Carroll asked Mr. Lero if he could confirm the process Mr. Morrow was talking about
was factual.
Mr. Lero said it was correct that the Revocable Easement was a new concept. If the
County needed to come through the area for something down the road and Mr. Morrow
had anything in the way, they would to do whatever they needed to do to continue and
Mr. Morrow was aware of this. He also pointed out that behind Mr. Morrow’s home was
swamp and doubted that it would ever be a major issue.
Chairman Tucker stated the recommendation from the County of allowing 90 days.
MR. BLACK MOVED to allow 90 days to come into compliance or face a $100.00 per
day fine; MS. SODERLAND SECONDED.
