Case 91-052, C. Roger Freeman
�r At this time, Code Enforcement Officer McDougal, further known as
Mr. McDougal, and Mr. Roger Freeman were sworn in by Deputy Clerk
Seaver. Mr. McDougal stated the Nuisance and Menace charge on the
property owned by Mr. Freeman and the inspections up to date which
left the property still in non-compliance. He stated that a copy of
the violation was sent to the owner of the trailer which did not
have a tenant. Mr. McDougal presented pictures of the property for
the Board to review. Chairman Linebarier asked Mr. McDougal why he
had not cited the owner of the trailer. Mr. McDougal stated that
this case had already started processing before he had been
instructed to cite the tenant. Mr. Freeman stated his name and
address for the record. He stated that he tried his best to get the
property cleaned up but the owner of the trailer, Jack Carr located
in Orlando, did not want him to remove the junk. Mr. Freeman stated
that he would like to see the tenant cited also because it is hard
for him to take care of the problem when he can not legally enter
the property. Chairman Linebarier asked how long he would need to
evict the owner of the trailer. Mr. Freeman stated approximately 30
days. Mr. Carlsson made a motion to continue this case until the
April 23, 1991 meeting and to cite the tenant and bring him to the
next meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Rowe and approved unanimously.
