Asst. Support Services Director - Code Enforcement Manager Gaines briefed the Board about what
happened with this case during the last meeting, which was held on September 27, 2016. He indicated
Officer Diaz presented the case outlining inspections and fmdings. Property owner, Jimmy Sills,
presented testimony indicating he acquired this property in 1984. At the time he acquired the property,
it was used for outdoor storage, which is illegal nonconforming use for this site. Mr. Gaines stated that
Mr. Sills indicated the City approved a fence in 1998 at the time the property was used for outdoor
storage. This matter was continued to today to discuss the non-conforming use.
Asst. Support Services Director - Code Enforcement Manager Gaines explained § 5-10 of the Land
Development Code (LDC) — Nonconforming Lots, Uses of Land, Structures, Premises, and
Characteristics of Uses.
Officer Diaz presented the case and gave its history. This is a light industrial property that does not
permit outdoor storage for construction materials. The officer produced several exhibits of the violation.
The City is requesting 30 days to comply or be fined $100 per day.
Assistant City Attorney Dana Crosby-Collier recapped the last meeting of September 27, 2016, with a
PowerPoint presentation explaining nonconforming uses. Since the last meeting city staff has
researched this parcel and found this property has always been Zoned I-1, at least from the time Mr. Sills
acquired it. She indicated she received an affidavit from City Planner Rumer outlining the findings that
back in 1984 outdoor storage was not allowed in property Zoned I-1 with the exception of a hardscape
lot, which would allow commercial vehicles to be parked within this zoning. She proceeded to show a
year-by-year timeline of aerial photographs of this particular parcel. She discussed the issuance of the
fence permit, which is an administrative matter issued by the building official. She concluded by stating
that the City has found that currently a zoning violation, which is not compliant with I-1 Zoning, exists
on this property. She informs the Board that the role of this CEB would be to enforce the City code
where there is a pending or repeat violation that exists; and further, expressed if the issue is the
nonconforming use, then that issue should be sent to the city manager for a determination; and hence, an
appeal would go to the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA).
Vice-Chairman Carrington asked the Board if they have any questions before Respondent Jimmy Sills
speaks.
Member Blynder inquired if this property has ever been in compliance with the code; and further, this
would not be before the Board if somebody had not complained? Assistant City Attorney Dana
Crosby-Collier indicated they have received a complaint now, and that is what they are dealing with
today. She advised that the CEB is a complaint-driven process; and further indicated after reviewing the
aerial photographs use of the property varied throughout the years, and sometimes there was nothing on
the property.
Asst. Support Services Director - Code Enforcement Manager Gaines further advised that outside
storage has never been allowed on this property, which is Zoned I-1. Member Blynder stated this has
been happening for some 20 years. Mr. Gaines responded in the affirmative and indicated that it is
before them because a complaint was made.
Member Odom inquired if there were complaints during the time of the lapses; and further, can the City
retroactively say this property has been in violation? Assistant City Attorney Dana Crosby-Collier
explained the lapses are not a violation; but even if it had been a nonconforming use, it would have
lapsed over the years, because there was vacant land, which vacant land is allowed within I-1 Zoning.
Page 3
She reiterated that the issue before the Board now is the outdoor storage of equipment, which is not
permitted under the I-1 Zoning. Asst. Support Services Director - Code Enforcement Manager
Gaines stated again that what they are here for now is just for the citizen complaint, which is not
retroactive; but once the equipment is taken away, it is no longer illegal nonconforming. (7:19)
Member Kelley advised that the once-a-year aerial photographs do not show a 30 day lapse; and hence,
it is just a time in period of one day there is nothing and the next trucks may have appeared. He further
asked about an issue that came before the CEB in 2011 where this property was deemed to be in
compliance. He inquired what the complaint was about and who deemed it in compliance; and further,
asked if the City said it was in compliance five years ago where it may have established precedence.
Assistant City Attorney Dana Crosby-Collier explained the issue five years ago was not the matter
before them today. Asst. Support Services Director- Code Enforcement Manager Gaines stated the
2011 matter was for changing the color on the fence screening, which did not give permission for
outdoor storage.
Board Attorney Mary Sneed confirmed the Zoning I-1 has never allowed outside storage, which
makes the 30-day lapse irrelevant, because there was never a nonconforming use. She advised the
Board that there are no statute of limitations in code enforcement, because cities and counties have
limited resources and generally code enforcement deals with complaint issues first.
Jimmy Sills, 205 S. Lakeshore Drive, owner of the property, stated he purchased this property in 1984
in which he expressed the property was nonconforming according to the code at that time. He further
expressed during the past 32 years this property has been nonconforming, from 1984 to 2016. He
explained in 1998 he applied for a permit to install a six-foot chain-link fence, and a short time later in
2013 the City requested he put a green skirting. He stated the City requested him to change out the
green skirt to black, which he states he complied with.
Mr. Sills further advised the Board that in August of 2015 a fiber optic company approached him to
lease the property for three years, which expires in August of 2018 or as soon as their job is completed
off of SR 50.
Mr. Sills expressed he understands about the nonconforming, but he believes that somewhere along the
line the City is at fault. He conveyed to the Board that he had no idea after all this time that it was in
nonconforming use.
Member Hopper explained that a fence can be put around anything, and that is a different type of
permit. In his opinion it is not right, because it is nonconforming; and further, he mentioned to Mr. Sills
that he should be happy the City does not go back and cite him for 32 years of a nonconforming use.
Member Odom inquired if Mr. Sills explained to the City why he was installing the fence. Mr. Sills
said at that time it was a fence for outdoor storage and it was no secret. Asst. Support Services
Director - Code Enforcement Manager Gaines clarified that the permit did not say, "Outside
Storage." Mr. Sills agreed that the permit did not say, "Outside Storage," and reiterated that the permit
was for a six-foot chain-link fence.
Vice-Chairman Carrington asked Mr. Sills if he ever asked the City, "I see this is Zoned I-1. May I
do outside storage on this land?" Mr. Sills indicated he had several times. Vice-Chairman Carrington
asked if he knew who he spoke to and when? Mr. Sills said it was the senior building official, Don
Flippen.
Page 4
Member Blynder suggested there could be some sort of agreement with the City to grandfather this in.
Member Hopper disagrees and mentioned that this is in violation just like anything else is in violation,
and this needs to be treated as a violation.
Vice-Chairman Carrington asked the Board to be mindful of what this Board's mandate is and where
their jurisdiction or purview rests and where they may be stepping outside of those bounds. He
reminded the Board that their job is to weigh the evidence from staff and the respondent against the
complaint before them.
Board Attorney Mary Sneed advised the Board that their focus tonight is whether or not there is a
violation.
Original Motion:
Member Kelley, seconded by Member Odom, moved that in Case #16-102, the respondent be found in
violation as cited for code violation of Zoning Code I-1 Article IIM/Section 2-4 and be given until
August 31, 2018, to come into compliance unless usage of the lot lapses for 30 days or more, or be fined
$100 per day for each day the violation remains in non-compliance.
Board Attorney Mary Sneed explained to the Board that based upon how long it will take to correct
the violation will determine the length of time for compliance, which also has to be reasonable with
regards to other similar type of violations.
Member Odom believes the City has dropped the ball and was complacent, which helped create this
situation. She believes the motion would allow the time he needs, and expressed this is a different kind
of situation.
Board Attorney Mary Sneed explained that the case law cites it has to be reasonable based upon the
time necessary to bring it into compliance.
Member Kelley defended his motion stating that the contract could be tied up in courts by an out-of-
state corporation who is using that land to help improve the city. He further stated the motion was made
to finish the current contract, not allowing any more contracts and clear the property in 19 months that
has been there for 32 years. He indicated "reasonable" is a judgement call in which he feels it is
reasonable in case it gets tied up in court.
Vice-Chairman Carrington commented he has a secondary concern with regards to how the motion is
worded with regards to the language, "unless usage of the lot lapses for 30 days or more." He expresses
the contract could be terminated prior to August 31St, but now respondent would have ample time to
execute a second contract and bring somebody onto the property, because if it's less than 30 days, there
is no lapse, which he has concerns over, because it's creating a loophole.
Member Kelley asked Vice-Chairman Carrington how the motion could be better worded with an
amendment. Asst. Support Services Director - Code Enforcement Manager Gaines commented he
thinks they should be separated from the contract of a private individual.
Member Hopper expressed that he totally disagrees with it, because if this is set as a precedent, then
the Board has to do it for everybody that comes in here. He concluded that this is a violation, which
needs to be treated as a violation; and further, he expressed to the Board that their job as a volunteer is
Page 5
Code Enforcement, which is enforcing the code that the City has brought forth. He expressed this
violation is no less of a violation than any other violation that has come before them. In his opinion, two
years is unfathomable.
Further discussion ensued.
Amendment:
Member Kelley, seconded by Member Odom, amended the original motion to remove the "30-day
lapse" language and moved that in Case #16-102, the respondent be found in violation as cited for code
violation of Zoning I-1 Article IIM/Section 2-4 and be given until August 31, 2018, to come into
compliance, or be fined$100 per day for each day the violation remains in non-compliance.
Motion passed by majority roll-call vote of 4 to 1, with Member Hopper dissenting.
Motion as Amended:
Member Kelley, seconded by Member Odom, moved that in Case #16-102, the respondent be found in
violation as cited for code violation of Zoning Code I-1 Article IIM/Section 2-4, and be given until
August 31, 2018,•to come into compliance or be fined$100 per day for each day the violation remains in
non-compliance.
Motion passed by majority roll-call vote of 3 to 2, with Vice-Chairman Carrington and Member
Hopper dissenting.
Mr. Sills thanked the Board for their time; and further, promised the Board he will get this resolved as
soon as possible.
Member Hopper addressed the Board indicating he can no longer serve on this board with the motion
that just passed. He resigned indicating he believes it is a waste of his time and the City's time to have
discrepancies from one case to another.
(Member Hopper resigned from the board and exited the chambers at 7.•46 pm)

Officer Loeffler presented the case and gave its history. This was a complaint generated by the police
department that a relative of the owner indicated to them that an acquaintance was inside the house
while the owner was unable to be there. The officer observed that the property was occupied, but the
grass was very tall and the water utility had been shut off for nonpayment. On September 28, 2016, a
Notice of Violation was sent out to the property owner. As of October 14, 2016, the property was not in

Christopher Buehrer, 903 Satin Leaf Circle, tenant, indicated he just received this information from a
certified letter last week in which he had the yard cut. He explained his friend helped the owner pay the
HOA liens so he would not lose his home, and he told the owner he to pay his water bill, but to date he
has not paid the bill. Vice-Chairman Carrington asked why he is still living there with no water.
Mr. Buehrar said he is ready to leave, but he needs to get his things out, which may take a month. He
