overgrown grass, chemicals, and left over chemicals, etc., were on the property which was
vacant. Upon a past inspection, she had observed a large, free standing garage type building,
and on September 8, 1995 found the structure to the rear had completely collapsed. On

inspection of the property remained in non-compliance. The original NOCV had been mailed
and returned to the City, and the property and City Hall were posted on October 4, 1995,
pursuant to 7-110 of the City ordinance. A re-inspection of the property on October 24, 1995
produced a status of non-compliance.

Chairman Sills, Deputy Clerk Seaver said for the record that the respondent's name should

Code Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-120 referenced the property at 510
Hill Avenue. On September 11, 1995, the City had received a complaint about the
accumulation of trash, wood, fence, lawnmowers, debris, and junk around the house located at
that address. Upon an inspection on September 12, 1995, Officer Simon had observed piles of

dumped,placed, accumulated or otherwise located on lands or premises owned by such person within the city any
nuisance and menace to public health, safety and welfare, etc..." On September 14, 1995, a re-inspection
by Officers Simon and Braddy found the property in non-compliance. On September 18, 1995
an SOV and NOH were sent via restricted delivery to Ms. Jean LePage Thomas, c/o Bobbie
Boeh, her daughter. A re-inspection of the property had been made as of the last Code
Enforcement Board meeting, September 25, 1995, and the property at that time was in non-
compliance, and the Board had issued an Order of Continuance on this case for this Board
meeting. Officer Simon said that she and Building Official Flippen had done an inspection on
the property on October 2, 1995, advising Mr. Mulcahy of what was needed to bring the
property into compliance. Several driveby inspections of the property found some improvement
but there were still other things on the property. A re-inspection of the property on October 24,
1995 found it in non-compliance.
A video taken on October 24, 1995 was presented for the Board's review. From the audience,
Ed Mulcahy attempted to speak, and Chairman Sills pointed out that he was speaking out of
order. In response to Vice Chairman Carlsson, Officer Simon said that the property had not
been cleaned up as of 3:00 p.m. that day.
Bobbie Boeh, 2253 Boy Scout Road, Apopka 32803, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk Seaver,
and said that she had turned over "a batch of stuff" that the City had requested last month about
what they were doing to proceed. They were trying to resolve something to the mutual
satisfaction for everybody without going to more lawyer expense. She said that Ed was doing
much more cleanup than he ever had before, and that he had counter sued them. Ms. Boeh said
that her lawyer was wanting to know what went on by the Board at this meeting, and that they
would proceed from there.
In response to Vice Chairman Carlsson, Ms. Boeh said that both lawyers were to sign a
dismissal last week regarding the eviction notice. She said that the attorney must begin again
with the eviction for non-payment.

Jean LePage Thomas, c/o Bobbie Boeh, 510 Hill Avenue, in non-compliance as of

advise of counsel, to find her in violation, and give the respondent until November 3, 1995 to
come into compliance or be fined $100 thereafter. Member Shagner said that she seconded
that. Ms. Boeh objected and said that it takes at least three (3) weeks for an eviction from the
start. Vice Chairman Carlsson said that he would make the compliance date, November 10,
1995.

Alisha Camp, 1535 Green Acre Point, Oviedo 32765, and a letter had been sent to Ms. Camp
on June 15, 1995 giving her 60 days to correct the violations. A re-inspection was due as of
August 15, 1995 but there had been no request. Ms. Camp's son called to request a re-
inspection that found several items were still in non-compliance. On August 31, 1995, an

Officer Braddy said that the plumbing fixtures pertain to the shower unit.
Discussion had ensued earlier about whether someone other than the respondent had the authority
to represent the case. Attorney Feeney explained that the Board could hear the testimony of
Ms. Camp's son, and said that the Board could consider tabling the case and wait for a written
and notarized statement that Mr. Camp could represent her case. The Board decided to hear the
testimony of Keith Camp (but not as representative).
Keith Burdett Camp, 1535 Green Acre Point, Oviedo 32765, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk
Seaver, and said, to his knowledge, that everything in violation had already been taken care of,
and requested a re-inspection. He said that he had started the house from scratch and everything
had been replaced on the inside; although a drain valve in a bathroom needed a tap and dye.
Mr. Camp requested that the Board give him until November 7, 1995 so that he could set a
time with the tenant and Officer Braddy for a re-inspection. Member Lenko, seconded by
Member Santo, moved that Alisha Camp, Case No. 95-129, be found in violation of Chapter

violation at that time. A letter was mailed on April 27, 1995, giving the respondent 60 days to
correct the violations. There had been no request for re-inspection, therefore, on August 26,

thily said that the trailer had been damaged by the storm. An insurance adjustor had been out last
week to look at the damage, and Mr. hnhoff said that they were going to condemn the trailer.
He said that he was just waiting for them to take the trailer, fix it, etc. He said that he had
replaced the screens, flooring, several parts of the floor through the whole trailer, and cutoff the
supply line from the bath of the front of the house so there is no longer a bathroom there, that
is was now a closet. He also explained that his wife had recently given birth to triplets, and that
they had three (3) other children. He had been in and out of work.
Vice Chairman Carlsson went over the list of violations with Mr. Imhoff. In response to
Member Lenko, Mr. Imhoff said that the insurance company had given him only a card, there
had been nothing in writing but the company would be calling him back to inform him when
they received the adjustment. He could not give the Board a date as to when he could bring the
property into compliance. Member Shagner suggested that Mr. Imhoff get something in writing
from the insurance agent. Member Lenko moved to give Mr. Imhoff a 30 day period of time.
Member Linebarier said that he was going to make a motion that the Board continue the case
until the November meeting, and at that time ... Vice Chairman Carlsson said that he disagreed
with Mr. Linebarier, and that he believed that the respondent would have better leverage with
his insurance company if they found him in violation. Member Lenko, seconded by Vice
Chairman Carlsson, moved to find Richard M. Imhoff, Case No. 95-130, in non-compliance

compliance. Motion was made here but for clarity is shown later in the minutes.
Discussion ensued about the length of time needed to comply. Several Members expressed the
desire and the need for the respondent to appear before the Board to address the issue.
Deputy Clerk Seaver was sworn in by Attorney Feeney, and explained that Mr. Halford might
need additional time due to his physical condition. She said that Mr. Halford was dependant
upon others to remove the lawn mowers, that he had been very upset, and had asked for time
in which to comply. Mr. Halford had told her that he had plans to have them removed within
a week but he could not give an exact time. Ms. Seaver had informed Mr. Halford that it was
up to the discretion of the Board as to whether he would be given additional time. Member
Lenko, as she lives in that area, disclosed for the record that she had quite frequently driven by
the property. A lengthy discussion ensued about the actions and fmes made by the Board.
Member Linebarier, seconded by Alternate Member Holmes, moved to find James Halford,
Case No. 95-139, 1204 Wurst Road, in violation of Chapter 115-2 as of October 16, 1995 and
be given until November 14, 1995 to come into compliance or forfeit $50 a day thereafter.
Motion carried 5-2. Vice Chairman Carlsson and Member Lenko objected and voted "nay."

Chairman Sills said for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-141 referred to the property at 618 N.
Lakewood Avenue, and that she had received a complaint from a resident that the property
owner had erected a fence which was on the complainants property. The fence had also been
extended over an alley way. The complainant had advised her that no permit for a fence was
posted. An inspection of the property on October 2, 1995 revealed that a fence had been erected
at the address, and a research of the Building Department records showed that no permit had
been issued for the job. On October 5, 1995, an NOCV was sent to the property owners as
identified by Orange County Tax Records, William and/or Eriena Shelnutt, for violation of City
Code, Chapter 51-21 Permit required: "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 therefore from the Building Department." The respondents were
given until October 12, 1995 in which to pull a permit and to bring the property into
compliance. The property owner and the tenant had contacted the Building Department on
several occasions, and had attempted to pull a permit. They did not have the required surveys
to access placement of the fence. The tenant, if they did not own the property, could not pull
a permit without a power of attorney. The City had given them information, and an application
that must be signed by the property owner, and must be notarized. On October 18, 1995, an
SOV and NOH to this Board meeting had been sent to the property owner via restricted delivery
by Deputy Clerk Seaver. A re-inspection on October 24, 1995 showed that no permit had yet
been pulled for the work that had been done at that address. Also, the fence had been moved
or altered but was still erected. People had been in and out of the property, and there were
survey flags.
A video of the property in violation was presented to the Board for review.
Vice Chairman Carlsson said that he would make a motion reference Case No. 95-141,
William and/or Eriena Shelnutt, that they be found in non-compliance as of October 12, 1995,
and given until October 31, 1995 to come into compliance or be fined $100 a day thereafter.
Attorney Feeney said that there was apparently a neighbor that would like to testify. It might
be appropriate to hear his testimony. Vice Chairman Carlsson said that he would withdraw
his motion until after the Board hears the gentleman.
Wesley Tucker, 53 Charles Street, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk Seaver, and said that he was
the complainant on the owner of Lakewood. He said that no permit had been pulled for the
fence that was also 2.5 feet into his property. Mr. Tucker had built a new home recently, and
said that the fence looked shabby and it was an eye sore to him. Nothing had been done about
the problem and he had been living in the house for two (2) months. He asked that the Board
require the respondent to either remove or do the fence right.

Chairman Sills said for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-143 referred to the property at 605 Jay
Street. On October 3, 1995, an NOCV was sent to the property owners, Sidney A. Rivard
and/or Janet Rivard, for violation of City Code, Chapter 165-3 Prohibited acts (a): "No person shall
abandon or keep any junk vehicle on any public property or any private property within the corporate limits of the
City of Ocoee. The observation had been that of a white Ford truck on jacks without a tag and an
inoperable vehicle without tag in rear yard. Chapter 115-3 Prohibited Acts: "No person shall allow to
be dumped, placed, accumulated or otherwise located on lands or premises owned by such person within the city
any nuisance and menace to public health, safety and welfare ..." The observation had been that of
miscellaneous debris and trash including numerous gas cans, tires etc. in the front side and rear
(1169 yard. Chapter 108-23(M): "Every exterior door shall be substantially weather-tight, water-tight and rodent proof
and shall be kept in sound working condition and good repair." The observation had been that of a large
hole in the front door with torn plastic over it. Chapter 158-8 Swimming Pools. Responsibilities of
owners (A): "The owner or persons responsible for the pool operation shall keep in service all items designed for
the purification of the water supply or its protection from pollution to perform adequately the function for which they
were designed." The observation had been that of a swimming pool with green water, not kept in
a sanitary but in an polluted condition. Officer Simon presented a letter dated August 31, 1995,
to the respondent notifying them of the complaints against their property which included the
above violations. The fences were shut upon her arrival at the property and she had been
unable to inspect the pool, trash, etc., and a Doberman was in the back yard. She had also
received a complaint from within the City that she was not addressing the complaints in the rear
yard because the dog was always in the back yard on the three (3) occasions that she had gone
to the property. On October 2, 1995, a re-inspection of the rear yard found the violations as
presented. Officer Simon said that she had presented the letter to the Board so they could see
how long the City had the complaints of these violations. There had been several attempts to
inspect the property. The respondents were sent an NOCV on October 3, 1995. The property
owners were given until October 16, 1995 in which to bring the property into compliance. On
October 18, 1995, an SOV and NOH to this Board Meeting was sent via restricted delivery by
Deputy Clerk Seaver. A re-inspection on October 24, 1995 found the property in non-
compliance. The white Ford truck was still on jacks in the front yard. The respondent must
contact the City to request a re-inspection, and they will not let her return for the inspection.

Chairman Sills said for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-144 referred to the property at 1512
Jemima Avenue. On October 3, 1995, an NOCV was sent to the property owners as identified
by Orange County Tax Records, Sabrina K. Fowler and/or Mary K. Donovan, for violation of
City Code, Chapter 119-2 Eniaiini in business without license: "It shall be unlawful for any person to engage
in any business, occupation or profession within the city without a license issued hereunder.." The observation
had been that of a wrecker with the name "Wanted Dead or Alice" advertising the business
phone number 877-0948. The business number is in the name of Sabrina Fowler at 1512
Jemima Avenue, however, City records did not reflect an occupational license for that address
nor did they reflect a license for the business at any other address. The wrecker had been
observed at the above address as well as numerous vehicles stored on the property which would
coincide with aspects of a wrecker/towing business. Chapter 165-3 Prohibited Acts (A): "No person
shall keep any abandoned or junk vehicle on any public or private property ..." The observation had been
that of an orange Mitsubishi with no tag, a red maroon Monte Carlo with no tag, an older model
green vehicle with an expired Colorado tag, an older model light colored vehicle on the side
yard with no tag, and had the appearance of being inoperable. The property owner was given
until October 16, 1995 to bring the property into compliance. On October 16, 1995, a re-
inspection of the property produced a status of non-compliance. There had been no contact with
the gentleman running the wrecker or the property owner for any applications for City licenses.
On October 18, 1995, an SOV and NOH to this Board meeting were sent to the property owners
via restricted delivery by Deputy Clerk Seaver. There had been several inspections and all of
the vehicles have been removed from the property. She had spoken with a Mr. Ebbott Fowler
who lives at that address and is related to Sabrina Fowler. Ms. Simon said that on October 19,
1995, Mr. Fowler said that he had removed the phone number from the vehicle and that he was
no longer advertising the phone number at that residence as a business phone for the wrecker
(service). Officer Simon had talked with the Building Official and at this point in time, Mr.
Fowler is allowed to park one commercial vehicle (up to 1 1/2 ton rating) in a residential area.
The tow truck did not exceed that rating. Mr. Fowler was not running a tow service, and as
long as he keeps the storage of the junk vehicles off of this property they were not going to
require him to have a license at this time. As of October 19, 1995, the property was in
compliance. Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Santo, moved that Sabrina K.
Fowler and/or Mary K. Donovan, Case No. 95-144, 1512 Jemima Avenue, be found in non-
compliance of Chapter 119-2 Engaging in business without license; Chapter 165-3 Prohibited

Code Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-146 is the property owner and
Case No. 95-147 was the business, and they were related to the same case. She did not have
Proof of Service on Khemwattee Persaud, Case No. 95-146, but she did have the POS on the
business signed by the property owner, and she was also present here. Officer Simon said with
Ms. Persaud's permission that she would like to go ahead and hear the case on both 95-146 and
95-147.
Khemwattee Persaud, 605 Wurst Road, was sworn in by Attorney Feeney who explained to
Ms. Persaud that the City did not have POS on her, and asked if she had any problem having
the hearing tonight, both with respect to her business and to herself personally, and that she
waive lack of notice on herself individually. Ms. Persaud testified that she had no problem
having the hearing tonight both with respect to the business and herself personally.
In response to Member Linebarier, the respondent said that her first name was Khemwattee
and that her last name was Persaud. Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-146 referred to
the location of the violation as 449 S. Bluford Avenue. On October 12, 1995, she had
received a written complaint from the Fire Department that numerous violations existed at the
above address, and that Code Enforcement action was being requested by the Fire Department.
Based upon the report that she had received from the Fire Department Statement, she sent the
owner as identified by the Orange County Tax Records, Khemwattee Persaud, an NOCV for
violation of City Code, Chapter 108-22: Minimum Requirements for electrical systems: "Every electrical
outlet and fixture, all wiring equipment shall be installed, maintained and connected to a source of electric power
in accordance with the provisions of the Electrical Code of the authority having jurisdiction" The observation
had been that of 1) Need disconnects on all apartments, 2) Each apartment must be separated
from each other by wiring, 3) Panels cannot be located in the downstairs apartment in the
bathroom, 4) Each apartment must have its own panel (disconnect), 5) The building located
behind the apartments is not wired to the NEC, 6) The electrical service is overloaded, 7) Need
smoke detectors in each apartment. . NFPA 101-CH5-2.3.14: "Need emergency lighting on interior stairs."

13
Code Enforcement Board Meeting
October 24, 1995
given to October 16, 1995 in which to bring the property into compliance. The property owner
met with Ms. Simon at City Hall on October 16, 1995 verifying that these violations existed and
that she was aware of these violations, and that she was in the process of making arrangements
to have them corrected which included hiring an electrical contractor to take care of the
electrical problems. Officer Simon said that she had explained Code Enforcement proceedings
to her at that time and encouraged her to attend the meeting so that she could relay to the Board
at which point she was in correcting the violations. On October 18, 1995, an SOV and NOH
for this Board meeting were sent via restricted delivery by Deputy Clerk Seaver.
Ms. Simon said that to date there had not been a final inspection by the Fire Department,
Electrical Inspector or herself, deeming the property in compliance. The property was in non-
compliance as of October 24, 1995. She presented a copy of the reports from the Fire
Department initiating the Code Enforcement action, and expert testimony from the Fire
Inspector, and the City Electrical Inspector. Attorney Feeney reviewed the reports and
instructed the Clerk to mark the "Exhibits" individually, as follow: Exhibit "A" - Building
Department Code Enforcement Processing Form; Exhibit "B" - Ocoee Fire Department Fire
Inspection Report; Exhibit "B-1" -Ocoee Fire Department Fire Safety Inspection Report; Exhibit

The Board reviewed all of the exhibits.
Capt. James L. Coschignano, Fire Inspector for the Ocoee Fire Department, was sworn in by
Deputy Clerk Seaver, and testified that the two reports date information about the smoke
detectors. He said that the existing smoke detectors needed repositioning, and that the
respondent should be keeping a log. He had no evidence of a log, and he did not know whether
the detectors were working. Chairman Sills expressed concern that there was only one exit
from the building from the upstairs, and Capt. Coschignano said that the upstairs apartments
are dependant upon the interior stair. He said that the upstairs window in each bedroom or
living space can be used as a secondary, according to the Code. The windows were jallousied,
and would not satisfy as a secondary exit and means of escape from each area. He said that Ms.
Persaud had since told him that the windows were on order but he had not seen anything as of
October 24, 1995.
Eddie Hendrix, Electrical Inspector for the City, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk Seaver, and
said that the respondent had hired an electrical contractor whom he had met him at the property
to discuss the violations. The contractor has been to the City for his permits and had explained
14

that he would be on the job October 25, 1995, and that he planned to have the work completed
in about a week. Discussion ensued about the number of apartments permitted at the location.
Member Lenko asked if there was someone still living in the shed in the back (of the property),
and Electrical Inspector Hendrix said that there was wiring going out to the building which will
be disconnected.
Khemwattee Persaud said that she had order four(4) windows that should arrive in about three

No one was present to represent this case, and Code Enforcement Officer Simon testified that

15
Loy Code Enforcement Board Meeting

been done at this property with various people trying to remedy the violations for the tenant to
include the Mayor, along with an individual in the trailer park. The property remained in non-
compliance as of October 24, 1995. Various agencies had been contacted and no one will
invest money in this property because it is a trailer. Officer Simon said that she was still trying
to work with the tenant but she did not really have any definite answers for the Board. She was
kind of at a dead end with it. Ms. Howell had called her to say that Ms. Pedrick had given her
a three (3) day notice (by October 25, 1995) to have the trailer off the property. Officer Simon
said that the respondent had not made any contact with her regarding the property.
Mayor Scott Vandergrift explained that efforts had been made to resolve the violations at 52
W. Circle Key but it had come to a dead end. The nature of the mobile homes bring them to
zero at some time in their life as far as worth was concerned. There were other people looking
at finding a solution to the problem. Mayor Vandergrift explained window methods used in
the old days where they were propped open with a stick. He then suggested replacing the glass
with wood. With that theory in mind he said that he had no solution for it.
Chairman Sills thanked Mayor Vandergrift and the City staff for their time spent on this case.
He said that a lot of people had worked in trying to find something to do in this situation. Vice

the City. She had placed it on the agenda because the Board at the prior meeting had instituted
a fine as of a certain date. The Board had not done an Order Imposing Fine and Lien,
therefore, she could not file it on him. This was being presented to the Board for its decision.
Member Lenko, seconded by Member Shagner, moved to enter an Order Imposing Fine and
Lien effective September 12, 1995. Motion carried 7-0.
