Officer Delgado presented the case and gave its history. Documents were presented as exhibits. The property is still non - compliant. Chairman Godek asked when the first permit expired. Building Official Jim Washington approached the podium to answer. When an application is presented, it stays active for six months according to the building official. He continued that when the six months ended for this application, the application was declared abandoned. An inspector went to confirm this. The work, however, had been performed. The building inspector reported the same. At this point, no permit has been awarded although the application was made, Mr. Washington said. Mr. Daniel Gregoire, Prestige Plumbing vice - president and current license holder, approached the podium to speak about the case. His company (which was working for a company called Solar Smart) had a falling out with the owner, so Prestige Plumbing did not do the work. Member Osborne recapped what Mr. Gregoire said. She asked who the homeowner is. Officer Delgado named them. Member Osborne asked if the homeowner should be responsible ultimately. Officer Delgado said that no one has heard from the owner and since the contractor's name was listed, it was assumed that the work was done by him. Attorney Mary Sneed advised the board of its options. Chairman Godek suggested that Page 2 of 13 Code Enforcement Board Minutes April 26, 2011 the case be continued to confirm what has been stated thus far. The chairman solicited the board for a motion. Member Kelley, seconded by Member Osborne, moved that case #11 -055 be dismissed against Prestige Plumbing. The motion passed unanimously. Following the motion, Attorney Sneed said that Member Kelley could now make suggestions. Member Kelley said that he would like them to find out who did the work and reapply the same violations to that person/company. Case No. 11 -056 — Prestige Plumbing, Inc. c/o Deborah Childress 823 Hammocks Drive Officer Delgado Violation (s) Cited: 51 -13 02 -17 -11 NOV Re- inspection 03 -14 -11 03 -18 -11 SOV 03 -18 -11 NOH Meeting date: 04 -26 -2011 03 -18 -11 POS Registered & certified mail Observation: Installation of solar panel without required permits, plans, approval and inspection. Officer Delgado presented the case and gave its history. She reported that as of today, the property is in non - compliance. Building Official Jim Washington said there is a slight difference between this case and the previous one. He said that he had never received an incomplete notarized application. He said that he needs something in his file saying that Prestige Plumbing did not do the work. Ms. Mary Lu Rodriguez, 823 Hammocks Drive, spoke on the case. Chairman Godek asked who did the solar installation. She said that folks came from the City, but she did not know who these workers were. There was a big problem with the plumbing. Chairman Godek asked who took care of that. She said that the same men were still at her house when the plumbing failed. Member Osborne asked Ms. Rodriguez who paid for the work. Ms. Rodriguez said that she and her husband had the cost of the work financed through GeoSmart. Chairman Godek concluded that the company has been paid in total and is now gone. Attorney Mary Sneed asked Ms. Rodriguez if she ever saw Mr. Gregoire or any kind of vehicle with `A & E' on her property. Ms. Rodriguez answered `no'. Member Lowery asked if the plumbing problem was resolved. Ms. Rodriguez confirmed that it was. Building Official Jim Washington said that in order to go out and inspect, there would have had to be a permit for the work. Alt. Member Blynder asked if this has happened before. The official said that it happens more often that he would like. Further discussion ensued. The board and the board attorney told Ms. Rodriguez that she will need to get with the building department to get a permit. Member Kelley, seconded by Member Osborne, moved to dismiss case #11 -056 against Prestige Plumbing. The motion carried unanimously. Page 3 of 13 Code Enforcement Board Minutes April 26, 2011 Member Kelley asked that the City take steps to move the violations to the homeowner and that Prestige Plumbing get with the City to remove any liability from the company so that the good relationship between the business and the City can continue.

Member Lowery, seconded by Member Amev, moved that the board re -hear Case #09 -155 for possible recommendation for a reduction of fine. The motion carried unanimously. Officer Rodriguez presented the case and gave its history. The respondent was given until September 11, 2009, to come into compliance. The property came into compliance on November 30, 2009. The fine amount (at a rate of $100 per day) is $6,200 plus $849.52 (cost for the City's abatement of the property and other administrative costs). Chairman Godek asked if someone was present to speak about the case. Mr. David Crawford, 2243 Laurel Blossom Circle, said that he was informed about the fine in mid - February of this year upon his attempt to sell the home. The home is in foreclosure and has twice been rescheduled for auction. Since July, 2009, he received no communication from the bank about the home. He was under the assumption that the house would go on to be auctioned. Mr. Crawford submitted documentation showing when he was notified of the final foreclosure and auctioning off of the property on January 22, 2010. He later received notification that the property had not gone into foreclosure, nor had it been sold. While the fine was being assessed, Mr. Crawford said that he was notified that the property had been foreclosed on and auctioned off. Page 4 of 13 Code Enforcement Board Minutes April 26, 2011 Mr. Crawford said that he is currently in the midst of short- selling the house. There is a contract on the house. He is asking for a reduction of the fine, not the elimination of the fine, he said. The bank has given him $500 towards the property's lien. He is pleading for help from the board. Chairman Godek asked if anyone had any questions. No member posed questions about the case. Attorney Sneed reminded the chairman that this is a recommendation. Member Osborne, seconded by Member Kelley, moved that in Case #09 -155, the board recommend to the commission that the fine be reduced to $1000 plus the $849.32 which is the cost that the City has incurred. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Crawford asked if the matter could be placed on the agenda for the next commission meeting. Officer Rodriguez said that he would need to get with the City Clerk.

Mr. Robert Watson, 12166 Walker Pond Road, (P.O. 1486 Windermere - mailing address), has owned the property for two years. He said that he has never had this kind of problem before with tenants. The rental agreement has been terminated. Mr. Watson assured the board that he has done what he could to correct things structurally. He has documents demonstrating his communication with the tenants asking them to improve the property. The tenants did make improvements. He expressed concerns to the tenants that they perhaps needed more of an office rather than a retail store. Member Lowery verified with the owner that he will take over the property by May 3, 2011. Page 5 of 13 Code Enforcement Board Minutes April 26, 2011 Member Lowery asked how much time Mr. Watson would need to come into compliance if he regains the property by May 3, 2011. Mr. Watson said that the property will be in compliance by the board's next meeting in May. Chairman Godek invited Lourdes Vazquez, 562 Silver Star Road, to speak. Ms. Vazquez said that they already resolved most of the issues. There are two or three things left to resolve. She says that she needs a week or less to resolve everything. Chairman Godek asked if the board had questions. No members had questions. Member Lowery, seconded by Alt. Member Blynder, moved that the board continue the case until the next meeting in May. Member Lowery moved to withdraw the motion; Alt. Member Blynder seconded that.

Member Osborne asked about abatement and if the neighbors were asking for abatement. The officer replied affirmatively. Ms. Maggie Jones, 1104 Doreen Avenue, came to the podium to speak about the case. Ms. Jones said that the truck was supposed to be returned to her father until her ex- husband slashed the tires. She said that she has filed charges against her ex- husband. Chairman Godek asked if the state attorney told her not to repair the tires. Ms. Jones said they told her not to replace the tires if she did not have the money to do so. She continued that (the state attorney's office) had not taken photos of the damage yet. Member Lowery asked where she is receiving the certificates for the tags. She said that she will ask her father for the registration documents since the vehicle is duly registered in Georgia. Attorney Sneed said that the board could set a time for compliance. Then the board could grant an extension of that time if the investigation was still ongoing. Alt. Member Blynder recapped that the police had been to the property and photos taken but yet she's being told not to put tires on the vehicle. Ms. Jones said that the police did not take pictures. Alt. Member Blynder said the investigation is separate from the police report. He asked how much time she needs to put tires on the vehicle and get it registered. Ms. Jones said thirty days. Alt. Member Blynder expressed surprise that so much time would be needed. Further discussion ensued. Attorney Sneed reiterated her previous suggestion to the board regarding setting a time for compliance and extending that time if the need arose.
