a re-inspection date of March 12, 1997, to the tenant, Janice Johnson. On March 12, 1997, a re-

Chairperson Carlsson said for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Cronnon testified that on October 1, 1996, Code Enforcement Conyers
did a minimum housing inspection, and due to his not getting a re-inspection, it turned into an
NOCV, which was sent on April 4, 1997, to Asher and Margaret Longrie, property owners as

tikor Member Linebarier questioned the violation date being that it should have been April 14, 1997.
Code Enforcement Officer Cronnon explained that this was a minimum housing inspection
where the tenant had 60 days to come into compliance so they would have had until February 11,
1997 to come into compliance. Mr. Linebarier said that the report stated the tenant was given
until April 14th to comply, so as of that date they would be in violation.
Member Linebarier, seconded by Member Shagner moved to amend the motion to change the
violation date from May 23, 1997,to April 14, 1997. Motion carried 7-0.
The motion as amended read as follows:
Member Shagner, seconded by Member Skiles, moved to find Asher and Margaret Longrie,

Chairperson Carlsson said for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that on April 21, 1997, while conducting a minimum
standards re-inspection for verification of compliance with the Minimum Standards Code, she
observed what appeared to be a new AC compressor on the outside of the structure. When she
questioned Mr. Albert Berban, who had represented himself as the owner of the property, he
acknowledged that he had recently installed central AC and Heating to the house that he had just
purchased. When inquiry was made as to the permitting on the work he had done, he stated that
he had not pulled a permit. When she inquired as to who had done the wiring, he said a friend
had helped him with it. She explained to Mr. Berban that he needed to obtain a mechanical and
electrical permit from the City Building Department as soon as possible and have the central AC
System inspected to insure that it was installed properly. He was then advised that doing this
type of work without a permit was a violation of City Ordinance. Further, he was advised that he
would need to speak to Mr. Hendrix, the City Electrical Inspector, in regards to pulling the
electrical permit as a homeowner. He said he would take care of this immediately. He was given
until April 25, 1997, to comply. No permit was pulled. On May 7, 1997, an NOCV was sent to
Mr. Albert Berban, as identified by Orange County tax records for violation of City Ordinance 51-
21,Permit required (A)It shall be a violation of this Article for any person to do any building construction, repair
work, alteration or remodeling of any building or to demolish any building within the scope of this Article without
first obtaining a permit therefor from the Building Department. (B)Further, each and every construction project of
any type, to include initial land clearing, that is to be performed within the corporate limits of the city must be
submitted to and approved by the City Building Department prior to the start of construction. This includes utilities
such as waterlines in building construction projects as well as projects that are within the state road rights-of-way.
The term "construction" is herein defined to include clearing of land, regardless of whether subsequent structures
will be build or not. [Added 10-1-1985 by Ord. No. 848] The respondent was given until May 12, 1997,
to comply. Since he had already been given notice and allotted a time frame to comply with the
City Ordinance, it is deemed that the time frame allotted him in the written notice was a
reasonable time frame. On May 12,1997, Mr. Berban did come in and pull a mechanical permit
for the system he installed. However, no electrical permit was applied for or issued for the
wiring of that system. On May 21, 1997, the Ocoee Police Department hand delivered an NOH
to this Board Meeting and an SOV for the existing violation, which stated that the electrical work
was done without a permit. To date no electrical permit has been pulled nor has there been any
contact with Mr. Berban.
Member Shagner moved to find Albert Berban, Case No. 97-047, in Code violation of permit
required 51-21 (A) & (B), as of May 12, 1997, and give him until June 9,1997, to come into
compliance or be fined $100.00 a day. Motion died for lack of second.

Member Linebarier said that Mr. Berban needed to be found in violation as of a certain date for
the mechanical permit, but in compliance as of May 12, 1997, and still not in compliance for the
electrical permit. Code Enforcement Officer Simon said pulling one permit for the mechanical
still does not bring him into compliance because the job requires both an electrical and
mechanical permit.
Member Shagner, seconded by Member Linebarier, moved to find Albert Berban, Case No.
97-047, in violation of Code 51-21, permit required, (A) & (B), as of May 12, 1997, and give
him until June 9, 1997, or be fined$100 a day thereafter. Motion carried 7-0.

Chairman Carlsson said for the record that Mr. Richard Rozema was present to represent
himself. Code Enforcement Officer Cronnon displayed a video of the property and testified
that on March 24, 1997, she observed numerous inoperable and untagged vehicles being stored
on the property. She spoke with Mr. Rozema, owner of Rick's Body Works, and he identified
the vehicles on the property as his and understood they were in violation of the City Code
Ordinance regarding junked vehicles. He said he would have them removed and received a two
week notice in which to do so. On April 3, 1997, a progress inspection revealed that none of the
vehicles had been removed. She spoke again with Mr. Rozema, and his willingness to cooperate
had changed. He said, "he did not have time to move the vehicles and that he would fight the
City on moving the vehicles that he owned". On April 19, 1997, the property was re-inspected
and some improvements to the property had been made. The property, however, was still in
noncompliance. On May 22, 1997, both Officers, Simon and Cronnon hand delivered an NOH
and SOV to Mr. Rozema for this Board Meeting. Code Enforcement Officer Simon said that
on May 22, 1997, after the NOH and SOV were delivered to Mr. Rozema, he and Mr. Wright,
the property owner, came into the Building Department later that afternoon with several concerns
they thought might relate to them. He asked several questions about the violations, asked for
copies of the Ordinance for which he was cited. He felt he should fall under this section of the
Ordinance: 165-5 exceptions: (B)On the premises of a business enterprise when necessary to the functioning of
such business operated in a lawful place and manner. Officer Simon explained that what she and Officer
Cronnon had viewed was not in a lawful place and manner for the operation of an auto body
shop, but it would be for a junkyard, which he is not zoned for or licensed to do. Officer Simon
then distributed copies of Chapter 165 Code of the City of Ocoee regarding junked vehicles as
well as definitions for junk yards, salvage yards and auto repair regarding paint and body shops
from the Land Development Regulations to the Code Enforcement Members.
Richard Rozema, 294 E Geneva Street, after being sworn in by Executive Secretary Seaver,
explained that when his property was first inspected by Officer Cronnon, she said he had to get
rid of a lot of the cars he had on the lot. He said he had no problem with doing that, but he
needed more than 10 days to do it... needed at least 30. Meanwhile, he has complied by moving
6
Code Enforcement Board Meeting
May 27, 1997
(ire 12 cars off the lot. Three cars are still present that belong to him which are being repaired. Mr.
Rozema said he was unable to give a time frame as to when those vehicles would be moved
because he works on them in his spare time when business is slow.
Chairperson Carlsson said the reason he had been cited was because the cars were inoperable,
had no tags and therefore the City of Ocoee considers them junked vehicles. Mr. Carlsson
recommended that he try to get tags on the vehicles or maybe get a dealer tag. To this Mr.
Rozema said he could not afford a dealer tag and to put tags and insurance on the vehicles was
too expensive just to let them sit.
Member Linebarier said they were willing to give him a reasonable amount of time for him to
come into compliance, but that would mean he would have to have the vehicles tagged or off the
property by the certain date.
Attorney Feeney suggested opening Case No. 97-049, George D. and Pat S. Wright - 294 E.
Geneva Street and adopt the testimony already heard and invite the owner of the property in
question or their representative to speak in order to dispose both cases at once.
Chairperson Carlsson asked if there were any objections from the Board or Mr. Wright or Mr.
Rozema and there were none.
Member Linebarier, seconded by Member Shagner, moved to open Case 97-049, accept the
L
testimony that has been already heard in Case No. 97-048 and that it be adopted for Case 97-049.
Motion carried 7-0.
George D. Wright, 294 E. Geneva Street, after being sworn by Executive Secretary Seaver
said he had been present for the prior testimony given by Mr. Rozema in Case No. 97-048 and
then offered his own testimony on behalf of Mr. Rozema.
Member Skiles, seconded by Member Shagner, moved to find Rick's Body Works, Case No.
97-048, in violation of Chapter 165-3, Prohibited Acts, as of May 10, 1997, and give him until
July 31, 1997,to come into compliance or be fined $100.00 a day thereafter. Motion carried 7-0.

time and effort.
