Lancaster 2370 Alclobe Circle Officer Delgado Violation Cited: 51 -13, 6 -10 07 -19 -11 NOV Re- Inspection Date: 08 -02 -11 08 -03 -11 SOV 08 -03 -11 NOH Meeting Date: 08 -23 -11 08 -03 -11 DOCS SENT BY Regular and Certified Mail Observation: Non - compliance with permit requirements #0901223 to replace 2 shade trees in 2 ", two (2) trees were cut without required permits, plans, approval and inspections. Officer Delgado presented the case and gave its history including exhibits (photos). The respondent had acquired a permit and was given until August 11, 2011, to comply by replacing two trees on his property. The property was re- inspected and was found to be non- compliant as of today. Chairman Godek asked what is wrong with tree that does not meet code. Officer Delgado answered that the tree is too small. According to the code there are certain size and height requirements. The tree meets the height qualification, but is not 2 inches in diameter. According to Bruce Dunford, Ocoee Building Division, the tree is not compliant with the code. Member Amey asked if Mr. Dunford gave the respondent specifications about what the tree needed to look like. Officer Delgado answered `no'. Page 2 of 11 Code Enforcement Board Minutes August 23, 2011 Mr. David L. Lancaster, 2370 Alclobe Circle, explained that he has lived in his home for 17 years and has never heard of an arbor code. He continued that he was not aware that there was a code about trees until this citation happened. Mr. Lancaster had a pair of trees on his property. Lightning hit one of the trees and destroyed it. The other tree had dead portions on it and insects had infested it. He hired a tree company and assumed that they had obtained the proper permit. The company did not get the permit. Subsequently, Mr. Lancaster acquired the permit. He added that he did not remember being told about the size specifications. Mr. Lancaster presented to the board members a list of trees from which Mr. Lancaster made a selection. He took a picture of the tree to the Building Department and showed it to Mr. Dunford who approved it. Mr. Lancaster said that the tree in question is growing slowly, whereas the other tree is growing rapidly. Member Hopper asked about the measurements on the smaller. Mr. Lancaster answered `about an inch and a quarter in diameter'. While she understood that Mr. Lancaster did not know about the tree code, Member Osborne reminded Mr. Lancaster that unlawful tree removal can cost as much as $5000 per tree. Member Osborne asked if Mr. Dunford approved the tree. Mr. Lancaster answered 'yes'. He added that he could have gotten a junk tree that met specifications. Further discussion ensued, Board Attorney Sneed advised that the board could either find that the City did not find a violation, or they could find him in violation and use their discretion to give the respondent time to comply. Member Lowery, seconded by Member Amev, moved that in Case #11 -168 the respondent is found in compliance with 51 -13, and in violation of 6 -10 as of August 1, 2011, and that he be given until August 1, 2012, to come into compliance or be fined $50 per day thereafter. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lancaster asked who wrote the code. Chairman Godek replied that he had no idea.

Mr. Stewart answered that he took ownership sixty days ago. He said that he had not received any code enforcement letters about the property. Member Hopper asked when the tires were removed. Mr. Stewart said that he took them away this afternoon. Member Osborne, seconded by Member Kelley, moved that in Case #11 -169 the respondent be found in violation as o Jul 27 2011 and be iven until Se tember 2 2011 to come into compliance or be fined $50 /day thereafter.

This case is in compliance; however, the respondent wanted to address the board. Chairman Godek invited Ms. Thomas to the podium to speak about her case. Ms. Shawndel Thomas spoke to the board about issues she is having with code enforcement. Ms. Thomas recounted her previous appearance at a Code Board meeting. At the last code board meeting she had been told that her case was dismissed. She decided to remain at the meeting anyway, only to find out that the case had not been dismissed. Ms. Thomas was able to address the board at that meeting. She expressed concern as to what would have happened had she not remained at that meeting. Member Osborne asked if there was some confusion because the respondent had two cases. Ms. Thomas agreed that there was a case against her from last year which was the one that was dismissed. Chairman Godek pointed out to Ms. Thomas that sometimes people make mistakes. Mr. Doug Gaines, Asst. to the City Manager / Code Enforcement Manager, approached the podium and informed Ms. Thomas that the code board cannot rule on the matters that she has brought up. The board rules only on code violations that are presented to them. He further stated that he is the one (along with her commissioner, if she chooses) that she should talk to if she has complaints about how code enforcement operates. Further discussion ensued. Ms. Thomas pointed out an error on the compliance order. Board Attorney Sneed agreed and suggested that the code enforcement officer do an amended order for the board chairman's signature so that the proper code violation is listed on the order. Administrative Assistant Bridgett Ballard stated that she will send Ms. Thomas an amended order reflecting the correct violation. The order will be in compliance. Ms. Thomas stated that she left a sign up so that a code violation would be filed and she would subsequently have an opportunity to address the board. Chairman Godek reiterated that this board cannot help her with her issues pertaining to code enforcement. That will need to be addressed with her commissioner or the code enforcement administration.
