Mr. LaClair.
Per our discussion earlier this week, please place this item on the next Code Enforcement Board meeting in June to
request a reduction / forgiveness of the code enforcement fine. To give some background, the subject property has
been in foreclosure for approximately 2 years. We have tried to do a workout with the lender Wells Fargo and when
that did not materialize, we agreed with Wells Fargo to do attempt to do a short sale. It has been listed since last
September time frame with Susan Baldree of Coldwell Banker (below is her contact information if you would like to
verify any of this information). It is currently under contract awaiting final decision from Wells Fargo.
As you are aware, this was a massive tree that fell in the back yard of the subject property. When I got your notice of
violation, we immediately informed Wells Fargo of the situation. The cost to remove was in the thousands of dollars and
we were not in a financial position to have that done. Wells Fargo agreed to hire a company to remove the tree prior to
the fines being implemented. They sent a company from Tampa a week to ten days prior to Feb. 22 and began
removing the tree. After 2 days of work removing about half the tree (most of the limbs and fallen debris) the company
left the site and did not return. Another 4-5 companies came by and looked at the site but no one ever came back to
finish the job. We tried for approximately 2 months after that to get an answer from Wells Fargo and it kept going from
.iartment to department with no response. Finally after saying they were taking care of it and sending a company to
uv so, we got notice the middle of May they were not going to do anymore. In good faith, our financial situation had
slightly improved and we were able to hire a company to finish the job which they completed the 291h of May.
As mentioned, we are currently under contract awaiting final approval from Wells Fargo for a short sale. We are asking
for your consideration to forgive the fine assessed given the circumstances above to hopefully allow the short sale to be
completed so the new owners can proceed to improve the property as it needs to be. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Gerald Smith

Re: Case No: CEB 12-825
Dear Ms. O'Shea,
I have had two tenants try to keep the sign up at 375 E. Hwy 50 for their businesses. Most recently Mrs.
Paulette Thompson requested that I allow her to file for a variance to keep the sign up, but she did not
get the application in prior to the hearing. I was not aware that she had not submitted the request,
therefore, I did not attend the hearing. She did eventually file for the variance but has since decided to
move her business.
Upon hearing that she was moving and going to withdraw the request for variance, I immediately had
the sign removed. The date of removal was June 6, 2012.
Due to the extenuating circumstances and the fact that I am in compliance, I respectfully request a
hearing before the Code Enforcement Board for waver of fines. I am available on June 27, or July 17,
2012. Please let me know what day is better for you.
Sincerely,
Irvin . M thews

Verena Rhinehart
3/24/2011
Dear Mrs. O'Shea/City of Clermont Code Enforcement:
545 DELANEY AvE., BLIX1. 7
ORLANDO, FL 32801
PHONE: (407) 425-4640
FAx: (407)425-4641
*'wVV. H ALELAW FL.com
Please be advised that my firm and I represent Ms. Verena Rhinehart regarding her
claim against her homeowners insurance company, Geovera Specialty Insurance
Company, as a result of a fire inside the home located at 258 2nd Street, Clermont, FL
34771. As I'm sure the Board is aware, a destructive fire destroyed most, if not all, of the
interior of Ms. Rhinehart's home as well as a vast majority of her personal property. As it
stands, the insurance carrier has not made payment suitable to repair/replace those
portions of the home that were affected by the fire.
I have been retained by Ms. Rhinehart to prosecute this delay and denial of the
appropriate insurance sums necessary to repair/replace the home and its contents. The
case is currently in litigation in Federal Court; Case No.: 5:12-cv-00053-WTH-TBS.
However, the parties have agreed to go to appraisal and this claim has been in
appraisal since February of 2012. 1 expect the appraisal to be completed in the next 45
days and also understand that the appraisal outcome will provide sufficient funds to
complete all necessary repairs/replacements.
When the appraisal award is completed, the insurance carrier has 20 days in
which to tender the check to my office. The check will likely include the name of Ms.
Rhinehart's mortgage company. In my experience, the mortgage company only returns
a portion of the check to the insured to, "get work started." Depending on the mortgage
company, future funds will be distributed after the mortgage company has its own
inspection of the progress of the repairs/replacements. This process will continue until
the mortgage company is satisfied its interest(s) in the home have been preserved.
As the Board can see, Ms. Rhinehart has taken extensive measures in order to
be adequately compensated for the loss she insured herself against. Although the
process has been slow and grueling, she continues to seek adequate justice through
the Courts. Ms. Rhinehart appreciates her duties as a citizen and landowner in the City
of Clermont and expresses her thanks to the Board for being patient with her while she
attempts to resolve the code violations caused by the fire. Rest assured, there's nothing
Ms. Rhinehart wants to do more than repair the home she and her late husband shared.
It is for this reason, Ms. Rhinehart requests this Board to waive any fines for any code
violations for at least the next 6 months.
If the Board has any questions, please feel free to contact the undersigned.
Best regards,
Lee M. Jacobson, Esq.

In Violation Of: Chapter 118, Section 118-35
Titled: "Maintenance and Pruning." (SEE ATTACHED COPY)
You are hereby notified that you are in violation of the referenced section of the City of

Severely trimmed shall mean the cutting of the branches and/or trunk of a tree in a manner
which will substantially reduce the overall size of the tree area so as to destroy the existing
symmetrical appearance or natural shape of the tree in a manner which results in the removal
of the main lateral branches, leaving the trunk of the tree with a stub appearance.

• Plant two trees, that meet at least the following criteria:
Preferred Canopy tree
A minimum of 12 feet in height immediately after planting
