COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS
Patrick Spikes, regarding 2658 Greywall Ave., stated he was just notified that his case was
being dismissed but he still wanted to go over what he experienced as a citizen with his case.
On Monday, June 15th he received a letter that said he had to have the lawn mowed and in
compliance by the afternoon of the 16th or fines could ensue. On the morning of June 16th he
called'the Code Enforcement Department and spoke with Officer Rodriguez to let her know
that he would not be able to cut the grass that day but he could have it done on Saturday, June
20th. Mr. Spikes stated that Officer Rodriguez said that would be fine as long as it was taken
care of. On June 18th the realtor for the property called him to tell him that Officer Rodriguez
called their office to see if the lawn could be mowed sooner. Mr. Spikes stated he no longer
lives at that address and could not have the lawn mowed sooner. On Saturday, June 20th he
mowed the lawn, as he had stated he would, and on Monday, June 22nd he called the officer to
let her know the lawn was done. He further stated he asked Officer Rodriguez if he would
receive a letter or anything showing she inspected his progerty but Officer Rodriguez told him
the city does not do that. Mr. Spikes stated on June 25 he received a notice that stated he
has to appear at a hearing regarding his property not being in compliance and that the property
was inspected on June 17th. He further stated he has always learned to keep communication
going so he called the city after he received the letter and left several messages but never
received any calls back or any other correspondences. On July 24th he followed up with
another phone call to inquire if he needed to come before the hearing. He left a message with
Fire Marshall Stanley and, as of today, he did not receive any phone call back on this issue.
He just wanted to inform the board that the total lack of communication can cause a citizen to
be angry and become upset and he was hoping they could learn something from what he just
relayed to them.
The board members thanked him for his time and Member Hopper stated that is good
feedback for the city.

Officer Siegrist gave a brief history of the case and provided exhibits. He further stated, as of
today, the property is still in non-compliance.
Rachelle Gemill, sister to Jamie Phillips of 600 Lyman Ave., stated the trailer has been on the
property since 1969. Her grandmother resided in the trailer years ago before her passing. She
further stated her grandmother temporarily allowed someone to stay in the trailer because they
were homeless. Ms. Gemill addressed one of the exhibit pictures, explaining that what is
sho~ is not a sewer problem but instead a picture of the wash out from the washer. She
further stated she feels the trailer should be grandfathered in and does not understand the issue
at hand. Jamie Phillips, 600 Lyman Ave., stated that her father is not in the best health and
they are on a fixed income. She further stated she also resides at the home and is a single
mother with one income. Ms. Phillips stated that there is no one presently living in the
trailer, They have vacated it and the tenant has not returned. Ms. Phillips further stated
there had never been a problem with the trailer until she placed tenants in there to help them
out. She stated that it is hard for them to just tear the trailer down when it has been on the
property since 1969 before her house was even built in 1978. Ms. Gemill stated that they
were told that the trailer could stay if they brought it up to code and then suddenly the story
changes and it is something else. She stated there was no communication from the officer that
indicated that he came out on all the dates he mentioned in his testimony. Ms. Gemill further
stated she has called the office and there has been a lack of communication since no one has
returned her phone calls. Officer Siegrist stated that is incorrect because he has spoken to
their mother.
Vice Chair M. Godek advised Ms. Phillips and Ms. Gemill that it is not required for the
officer to knock on the respondent's door every time he does a drive by. Division Chief
Stanley stated he wanted to clarify that himself and Deputy Building Official Hall both had a
conference call with their father several times regarding the structure. He stated it would be
incorrect to say that the city has not returned any calls. Division Chief Stanley further stated
that the Deputy Building Official did explain what was required to bring the structure up to
code and make it in compliance. Ms. Phillips stated that they have asked if they could bring
the building up to code and into compliance but were told it had to be torn down. Deputy
Building Official Hall stated he has spoken to the owner of the property twice regarding the
structure. He further stated he would like to bring several issues up to the board. There are
several city ordinances dealing with the structure. The structure is a travel trailer which has
been added on to and is not a trailer that you would live in. Based on that issue they
researched a city ordinance that deals with guest cottages but can only be used exclusively for
Page 4 of 17
Code Enforcement Board Minutes
July 28, 2009
housing members of the family occupying the main building and are non-paying guests.
Deputy Building Official Hall stated there is no way to bring that structure into compliance.
Since .1969 the structure has not been maintained to any building code what so ever and there
are life safety issues that exist and can not be redeemed. Secondly, there are 2-3 other city
ordinances that prohibit the use of the structure. Deputy Building Official Hall further
referenced the Florida State Statutes that deals with mobile homes and stated there are
guidelines for such a structure and it clearly states that a mobile home trailer has to be a stand
alone building. The exhibit presented by Officer Siegrist clearly shows violations of these
guidelines.
Chairman Godek asked if there are any exceptions for the structure since it has been there
for 30-40 years. Deputy Building Official Hall stated it is so run down that it is a life safety
hazard at this point. Member Hopper inquired if there is a permit that the city can go back to
refer t9. Deputy Building Official Hall stated they could not find any permits. Ms. Gemill
stated that the structure was there before the house was built so why would they have pulled a
permit if the structure already existed. Deputy Building Official Hall stated he has spoken
with the Building Official and they will not issue a permit for this structure in the condition
that it is in. Ms. Gemill stated they will not be tearing the structure down, so whatever the
city has to do is what they will have to do. Chairman Godek inquired as to what the city is
requesting for this case. Officer Siegrist stated demolition or removal. Attorney Sneed
reminded the board that the only code section cited is 108-35 and they should read the
language for that. If they believe the city has proven the violation of that code, then they can
proceed accordingly.
Member HODDer. seconded bv Member Alexander, moved in Case No. 09-194 to find the
respondents in violation as cited as of June 22, 2009. and to be given until August 7, 2009. to
complv or be fined $200/per dav thereafter. Also authorize the City to demolish the structure
and add the cost of the abatement to the fine. Motion carried unanimous Iv.
Ms. Gemill asked when they impose the fine would a lien be put on the house. She further
stated the house is going into foreclosure anyways.

Jean-Claude Durosier, 1410 Center Street, stated his mother is Virginia Agraphy and he has
been working on trying to bring his backyard in compliance. He stated his kids called him
today to let him know the officer had stopped by which also happened to be around the same
time he had someone working on the yard. Officer Delgado stated she did speak with the
person who was working in the yard and she explained to him that the weeds are very high on
the side of the fence toward the back of the yard. She testified that the front yard was mowed
but the weeds on the side of the house were still of excessive height. Mr. Durosier stated the
weeds. have been cut down now. Officer Delgado stated when she observed the house it was
not in compliance. Mr. Durosier further stated they are trying their best to keep the yard
maintained and, unfortunate for him, when the officer came by his gardeners were in the
process of working on his yard.

Observ.ation: Excessive grass and weed growth.
Officer Delgado gave a brief history of the case and further stated, as of today, the property is
in non-compliance. Property is vacant and city is requesting abatement. Member Hopper
stated that last month it was mentioned by one of the officers that there was no money to abate
these properties. Officer Delgado stated the city is trying to work something out where some
of the money that the city receives from the liens can go toward abatement.
Member Lowerv. seconded bv Vice Chair M. Godek, moved in Case Number 09-162 to find
the respondents in violation as cited as of June 12. 2009, and be given until August 7, 2009, to
complv or be fined $200/per dav thereafter. Also authorize the citv to abate the nuisance and
add the cost of abate to the fine.
Member Hopper stated that he mentioned this last month but wanted to touch on it again.
Many of the vacant homes end up in foreclosure and after they have imposed a fine of
$200/per day, when the property is sold the new owners come before this board to ask for a
reduction and it is usually reduced for them. His feelings are that the city needs to have the
property sold and the board should just be aware of that when they impose the fine. They are
seeing it a lot where the new buyer has a huge fine and can not afford to pay it. Member
Alexander stated she agreed but if a $25/per day fine is imposed it may not get the attention
of the violator. She further stated some respondents do not even pay attention to the $200/per
day fine.
After a brief discussion. motion carried unanimouslv.

HOA community would it be possible for the HOA to abate the nuisance instead of the city.
Officer Delgado stated that one of the situations the HOA has is that because many homes are
vacant HOA dues are not being paid. Attorney Sneed stated if the HOA is not choosing to
abate but the city is choosing to prosecute, then the board needs to decide if the city proved
the case.
