Subject: Re: 967 Camelia St. - Stop Work Notice
Hi Scott,
Thank you for the explanation. To be honest, I'm not sure what 1,140 c/f of water retention means. I want to
make sure that everything is done correctly with the our home and families safety in mind. We want to make
sure the city's codes are met and we do not have issues with erosion near the house or soft spots throughout the
back.
Is there anyone that can come out and show me what we need to do or can I come in and meet with someone to
make sure we do everything correctly? Because of the stop work notice, the landscaper will not come back out
until we have specific requirements from the city, so I want to make sure I pass along accurate information.

Mrs.Clark,
I am very sorry for the mishap that you had with the fallen trees in your back yard during the last storm. I remember
your house well. I actually have similar pictures of your house after the storm that I took during our survey of the city.
I also remember getting a call from the original buyer of the house (I don't know if that was you'll or not)asking me if
there was anything they could do with the back yard and how the water retention was put in by the contractor.
Because this house was built on a vacant lot when it was first built back in 2016/2017 the contractor had to do water
retention for the entire building and all impervious area. What was required was 1140 c/f of water retention. On the
original building plan that was turned in they had a 47'X 27' of back yard area that should have been down 1' deep.
This was to meet the water retention requirements for the city.This was designed by the builder not the city. But it did
meet our requirements.
The STOP WORK ORDER was placed by Angelia because the required water retention was being filled up.The city does
not allow fill dirt to be brought in unless it had been previously approved.
The 1140 C/F of water retention would have to be reinstalled and approved.
I hope this answers any of your questions.

Subject: 967 Camelia St. -Stop Work Notice
Hi Scott,
My name is Angie Passafaro and I am the owner of 967 Camelia St, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233. I spoke with
Angela earlier today regarding the "Stop Work" notice for our lawn renovation. Again, we're sorry for the
inconvenience and did not know we were in violation of anything.
We are renovating our lawn because of all the trees that fell during Irma. Originally,the yard was very steeply
graded around a large hickory, magnolia, and oak tree in our backyard. During Irma all of the trees in the
backyard fell except for one oak that is left. The trees fell on the house, and we were forced to move out for a
while. The rotting root systems over the last couple of years have caused deep depressions and soft spots that
make it difficult to even walk through the yard. I attached some photos. The landscaper recommended bringing
in the dirt to try and remedy all of this before we lay sod and an irrigation system.
I'm hoping we can find a solution! We're finally ready for a yard our family can use. Please let me know what
we need to do next to get back on track.

Location of Violation: 967 CAMELIA ST, 18-34 17-2S-29E SEC H ATLANTIC BEACH LOT 1 BLK
163 Atlantic Beach, Florida
Dear Property Owner:
Please be advised, the City of Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances includes rules and regulations
governing construction activities and also maintenance standards for property within the City. These
standards are set forth in the International Property Maintenance Code and the Florida Building Code
and were adopted as part of the City of Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances in Chapter 6, Article II,
Section 6-16.
A review of the case file of 967 CAMELIA ST was conducted on 8/19/2020. The City of Atlantic
Beach Code Enforcement has found your property to be in violation of the City of Atlantic Beach Code
of Ordinances:
VIOLATION CODE: Land Development Regulations. Sec. 24-70. - Land clearing and alteration of
site grade or topography. No lands shall be cleared, grubbed, filled, excavated or topographically altered
by any means, and no vegetation on any parcel or lot disturbed, prior to issuance of all required
approvals and development permits authorizing such clearing or alteration. Except as required to meet
coastal construction codes as set forth within a valid permit from the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection; or as required to meet applicable flood zone or stormwater regulations
pursuant to valid permits, the grade, elevation or topography of any parcel, development or
redevelopment site shall not be altered.
NATURE OF VIOLATION: On March 2, 2020 a stop work order was posted on the property for
filling in the back yard and altering the grade without an approved permit. On March 16, 2020 an
application was submitted the City of Atlantic Beach. The application was denied by the zoning
department due to the plan not addressing mitigation of the trees that were in the back yard.
To date, no revised application has been received and no valid permit exists for the grade alteration to
your back yard.
This letter requests that the noted violation(s) be corrected by submitting a revised application to
address the tree mitigation issues within ten (10) days of the receipt of this notice.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Failure to correct the violation by the required date may
result in this case being referred to the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate resulting in fines up to two
hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per day. Upon completion of the action required, it is your responsibility
to contact me and arrange for an inspection to verify compliance. Please contact Atlantic Beach Code
Enforcement at(904) 247-5855 if you have any questions or need additional information.
PI, ‘CA.,----A2a\--ea e� -1 , hereby swear and affirm that the above statement is true
and accura .
