Upon Chairman Sills' request, Code Enforcement Officer Simon was sworn in by Deputy
Clerk Seaver. Chairman Sills stated for the record that no one was present to represent the
case. Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-24 referenced 801 Sullivan Avenue. On
March 8, 1995 a NOCV had been sent to the property owner, Elizabeth Salters, as identified
by Orange County Tax Records, for violation of City Code Chapter 165-7 Vehicles,Abandoned. Private
Property: "No person shall keep any junk/abandoned vehicle on public or private property within the corporate city
limits of Ocoee." The violation was for a tan Jeep without a tag and Ms. Salters had been cited
for this same violation and vehicle. On September 12, 1994 a NOH and a SOV were sent to
the respondent for the Code Enforcement Board meeting on September 27, 1994, reference Case
No. 94-65 and this Board issued an Order of Compliance to comply by October 11, 1994, and
the property owner complied. On November 28, 1994, Code Enforcement Officer Simon
Code Enforcement Board Meeting
March 28, 1995
noted that the jeep was once again on the property without a tag. Upon advising the resident,
Charles Friedrich, that the property would be cited as a repeat offender, Mr. Friedrich had
informed Officer Simon that he was working on the jeep and would store or remove it from the
property. The jeep was on the property again on March 8, 1995, and Officer Simon sent Mr.
Friedrich another NOCV. As a repeat offender, the property was given the same date to
comply. A re-inspection on March 13, 1995 produced a status of non-compliance. Upon re-
inspection of the property on March 20, 1995, Officer Simon had spoken with Mr. Friedrich
who advised her that the vehicle would be gone the next day. An inspection on March 23, 1995
produced a status of compliance as the unlicensed vehicle had been removed from the property.
On March 23, 1995, a SOV and NOH were hand delivered by Officer Simon to Elizabeth
Salters and Mr. Friedrich for this Board meeting.
Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Chestney, moved to fine Elizabeth Salters,
Case No. 95-24, $10 a day for 15 days, from March 8 to March 23, 1995, as a repeat offender,
and to impose an Order Imposing Fine and Lien at this time. Member Shagner objected and
said that $10 was not very much. Mr. Friedrich was a repeat offender and this had been going
on and on in the City. Member Shagner asked that the fine be changed to $20 a day.
Member Alexander agreed but thought it should be $50 a day. Member Shagner, seconded
by Vice Chairman Carlsson, moved to amend the motion for Elizabeth Salters, Case No. 95-
24, to find her in violation of Chapter 165-7 as of March 8, 1995, and to change the motion to
read $20 a day fine for 15 days. Motion carried 4-2. Members Lenko and Alexander voted
"nay." Chairman Sills then asked for the vote on the original motion as amended. Motion
carried 4-2. Members Lenko and Alexander voted "nay."

Code Enforcement Officer Simon stated that Case No. 95-25 referenced property located at
1600 Mona Avenue. Upon receipt of a complaint, an inspection by Officer Simon on March 8,
1995, found the property to be in violation of Chapter 115-2. Creation Prohibited: "No person shall dump
or cause to be dumped or place or cause to be placed on any lands or premises within the City any nuisance and
menace to public health." Officer Simon had observed excessive accumulation of trash, tires, wood,
shopping cart, and miscellaneous debris throughout the yard. A NOCV was sent to the resident
renter, Mr. Gordon Scott Camp, as identified by City water account records, and he was given
until March 18, 1995, to bring the property into compliance. Officer Simon had discussed the
Ordinance with Mr. Camp on March 17, 1995, explaining what was needed to bring the
property into compliance. On March 20, 1995 a re-inspection of the property produced a status
of non-compliance. On March 21, 1995, a SOV and a NOH for this Board meeting were sent
restricted delivery to Mr. Camp from the Board Clerk Seaver. On March 22, 1995, Mrs.
Camp called Officer Simon and stated that the yard would be clean by that weekend. Officer
Simon had been unable to keep a tentative morning appointment for March 27, 1995, and had
stopped by in the afternoon. Mrs. Camp was not there. In response to Member Alexander's
2

March 28, 1995
question, Officer Simon said that they were not in compliance. The front yard had been cleaned
but a lawn mower, some toys, and metal lawn furniture were still in the yard.
A video of the property in violation, made during re-inspection on March 28, 1995, was
presented for the Board's review.
Jo Ann Camp, 1600 Mona Avenue, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk Seaver, and said that she
was trying to comply and asked what she should do to bring the property into compliance. Vice
Chairman Carlsson explained that all the trash in the side yard must be removed. Mrs. Camp
stated that she could comply within two days. Member Chestney, seconded by Member
Alexander, moved to find Gordon Scott Camp, Case No. 95-25, in violation of Chapter 115.2
and be given until March 31, 1995 to come into compliance or impose a fine of $25 a day
thereafter. Motion carried 6-0. Chairman Sills requested that Mrs. Camp notify the Building
Department if she complied before the given date.

41 W. Circle Key Drive. On March 8, 1995 Ms. Simon had sent the property owner, Betty
Pedrick, as identified by the Orange County Tax Records, a NOCV for violation of Chapter 115-
Article I Conditions constituting a nuisance: 115-2 Creation Prohibited: "No person shall dump or cause to be
dumped or place or cause to be placed on any lands or premises within the City any nuisance and menace to public
health, safety and welfare." Officer Simon had observed miscellaneous trash and debris in the yard
that had included tires and a motor. A re-inspection of the property on March 20, 1995
produced a status of non-compliance. Improvement, however, had been made to the property.

On March 24, 1995 the renter requested a re-inspection that produced a status of compliance on

1995, but the property is in compliance as of March 27, 1995, and therefore no fine be assessed.

41 W. Circle Key Drive. Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Chestney, moved
to find Elizabeth Cassidy, Case No. 95-27, in violation of Chapter 115-Article I and 115-2, as
of March 18, 1995, but the property was in compliance as of March 27, 1995, and therefore no

95-28, DEAN HARPER INC.
3/15/95 NOCV - Re-inspection Date:3/20/95 3/21/95 NOH - Board Meeting Date:3/28/95
3/21/95 SOV 3/22/95 POS - Mail Cert#P882-518-478 Restricted Delivery
Chairman Sills said for the record that there was no one present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that Case No. 95-28 referred to the property at 118 Sandy
Key Court. There had been numerous complaints that Dean Harper was operating Dean Harper
Inc., a business dealing with property, rentals and property management, out of the above
address. The property, zoned RT1, is not zoned for a commercial business of that type.
Officer Simon had observed on several occasions that vehicles having out-of-state tags were
parked outside the trailer. Renters had also informed her that they had conducted business at
that address but did not want to render notarized statements. From an individual requesting a
Minimum Housing Inspection on a rented trailer, Officer Simon had obtained a copy of a signed
lease, for Dean Harper Inc. that document the business address as 118 Sandy Key Court. On
March 13, 1995, a NOCV had been sent to the respondent for violating City Code Chapter 119-2:
"It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in any business, occupation or profession within the city without a
license issued hereunder ..." Officer Simon had observed Mr. Harper operating a property rental
business and the Building Department records did not reflect an occupational license for that
company at that address. To date, no occupational license had been rendered. On March 22,
1995, after the SOV and a NOH went out, Mr. Harper had submitted an occupational license
to the Building Department for review and approval, but the license was denied by the Building
Official on March 24, 1995. In the interim Officer Simon had done several inspections at the
address and had observed Mr. Harper in the parking area with maintenance men. She had also
observed rolls of carpet stored in the carport and a "For Rent" sign nearby with the phone
number 877-9277, the number on the lease for 118 Sandy Key Court.
Vice Chairman Carlsson asked for the location of the rent sign, and Officer Simon said that
4

March 28, 1995
it was outside the carport on the property of 118 Sandy Key Court. There had been no contact
with Mr. Harper. Officer Simon presented a note that Mr. Harper had left in the Building
Department, which stated that he was no longer operating a business. She could not confirm
that this case was in compliance. The above mentioned rent sign remained posted that day. The
phone number had been cross referenced the evening of this meeting by the police department,
and verified to be the number for 118 Sandy Key Court. It was not like Mr. Harper was
advertising only that property. This was the same sign that has been there while Mr. Harper
has been operating his rental property (his company) out of that location.
Discussion ensued on the violation and for a method to verify whether the telephone was a
residential or commercial listing. Chairman Sills read for the record the note "To Whom It
May Concern: No rental business will be conducted from 118 Sandy Key Court. 3/27/95" and
said that it is signed "Dean Harper." Attorney Cool said that the Board could consider the note
as evidence based upon testimony from Ms. Seaver, and upon Chairman Sills' request, Deputy
Clerk Seaver was sworn in by Clerk/Stenographer Lewis, and said that the note had been
handed to her, already written, by the person known to her as Dean Harper but had not been
signed in front of her.
Attorney Cool said that the Board had two alternatives: 1) To find him in violation and give him
until a date certain to come into compliance, and 2) To find him in non-compliance as of a
certain date, in compliance as of the date of this meeting, and that no fine be imposed. The
respondent would be considered a repeat violator under either of those options. Member
Lenko, seconded by Member Alexander, moved to find Dean Harper Inc., Case No. 95-28,
in violation of Chapter 119-2 of the City Code, and that he be given until April 4, 1995 to come
into compliance or be fined $100 a day thereafter. Motion carried 6-0.

Chairman Sills stated for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon testified that the case was in reference to the property at 578 W.
Silver Star Road. On March 8, 1995, after receiving a complaint, she had inspected the
property and found it in violation and sent a NOCV to the property owner, John &/or Shirley
Moore, as identified by Orange County Tax Records, for violating City Code Chapter 115-3:
Condition Constituting a Nuisance: "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, etc.," and Article VI 6-4(H) 5-b: "Not more than one camping or travel trailer or hauling trailer per
family living on the premises shall be permitted, and said trailer shall not exceed twenty-four (24)feet in length or
eight (8)feet in width;and further provided that said trailer shall not be parked or stored for more than forty-eight
(48) hours unless it is located behind the front yard building line. A camping or travel trailer, or camper vehicle,
shall not be occupied either temporarily or permanently while it is parked or stored in any residential district, except
when it is located in an authorized mobile home park."
Officer Simon had observed an accumulation of trash, building materials, and miscellaneous
debris throughout the yard, as well as what appeared to be an occupied travel trailer on the
property. Antennas and electrical extension cords were running to the trailer, and Mr. Moore
was given until March 18, 1995, to bring the property into compliance. On March 20, 1995
a re-inspection of the property produced a status of non-compliance. A NOH and a SOV were
sent to the respondent restricted delivery by Board Clerk Seaver. Upon re-inspection of the
property on March 28, 1995, Officer Simon found the property had been cleaned up and the
camper trailer removed (in compliance with Chapter 115 and Article VI respectively). Mr.
Moore had apologized for letting the property go, and Officer Simon had explained to him the
repeat offender status and the importance of keeping up the property.
Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Chestney, moved to find John &/or Shirley
Moore, Case No. 95-31, in non-compliance as of March 18, 1995 for Chapter 115-3 Conditions
Constituting A Nuisance, also Article IV 6-4(H) 5-b, and to find them in compliance as of
March 28, 1995, and that no fine be imposed at this time. Motion carried 6-0.

Code Enforcement Officer Simon stated that Case No. 95-33 referred to the property at 1888
Jimson Avenue. After receiving a complaint of a junk vehicle, Officer Simon had inspected
the property on March 8, 1995, and found it to be in violation of 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." Officer Simon had observed a Ford truck without a current
license tag that was for sale in the front yard. On March 9, 1995, the property owner, Harold
&/or Colleen Reeder, as identified by the Orange County Tax Records, was sent a NOCV. A
re-inspection of the property on March 20, 1995 produced a status of non-compliance. The
property owners had not notified Officer Simon that a tag had been procured for the vehicle and
it remained parked on the front building line. A SOV and a NOH were sent restricted delivery
to the property owner by Board Clerk Seaver. A re-inspection of the property on March 28,
1995 produced a status of compliance by removal of the truck. She did not observe the Ford
Truck on the property.
Harold Reeder, 1888 Jimson Avenue, was sworn in by Deputy Clerk Seaver, and said that
someone had tried to steal the tag and he had removed it from the truck. He did not drive the
truck very often and it sits in the yard. The truck has had a tag since December, 1994 and was
at his Dad's. Vice Chairman Carlsson said that the truck must have a tag and be operable if
it is parked on Mr. Reeder's property in the city of Ocoee.
Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Alexander, moved to find Harold &/or
Colleen Reeder, Case No. 95-33, in violation as of March 19, 1995 of Chapter 165-3 Prohibited
acts (a) and find him in compliance as of March 28, 1995, and that no fine be imposed at this
time. Motion carried 6-0. Vice Chairman Carlsson advised Mr. Reeder that he would be a
repeat offender and the fine would automatically start the day the Code Enforcement Officer had
written the NOCV.

Chairman Sills stated for the record that no one was present to represent the case. Code
Enforcement Officer Simon stated that Case No. 95-34 referred to the property at 14 Croomia
Court that had been found in violation during an inspection on March 8, 1995. On March 9,
1995, a NOCV was sent to the property owner, Ramcharran Ram &/or Leloutie Ram, as
identified by Orange County Tax Records, for violation of Article VI 6-4 (H) 5-b: "Not more than one
camping or travel trailer or hauling trailer per family living on the premises shall be permitted, and said trailer shall
not exceed twenty-four(24)feet in length and eight (8)feet in width;and further provided that said trailer shall not
be parked or stored for more than forty-eight (48)hours unless it is located behind the front yard building line. A
camping or travel trailer, or camper vehicle, shall not be occupied either temporarily or permanently while it is
parked or stored in any residential district, except when it is located in an authorized mobile home park." A boat
Code Enforcement Board Meeting
March 28, 1995
on a hauling trailer had been observed parked in the front driveway. On March 20, 1995, a re-
inspection of the property produced a status of non-compliance. On March 21, 1995 a SOV and
a NOH were sent to the property owner, restricted delivery, by the Board Clerk Seaver. Officer
Simon said that the property owner had called on March 22, 1995 to explain that the boat was
parked in his back yard, and that some people involved with the neighborhood had come by his
house and told him that he couldn't park it in the rear yard but he could park it in the front yard.
Officer Simon had explained to Mr. Ram the details of Article VI and had informed him that
he could not leave the boat on the hauling trailer in the front yard or park it in the driveway.
Mr. Ram had asked if the boat could be parked in the rear yard and Officer Simon had told him
that he must check with his homeowners association as to their restrictions. A re-inspection of
the property on March 28, 1995 produced a status of non-compliance.
A video of the property in violation was shown for Board review.
Alternate Member Santo testified that she is the President of the Amber Ridge Homeowners
Association. She said that this particular case had received three violation letters from a
homeowners management company about the boat in the driveway. The Declarations, Covenants
and Restrictions for Amber Ridge permit boat and trailer parking in the back yard behind a fence
if they could not be seen from the roadway. The respondent did not have a fence to shield them.
Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Lenko, moved to find Ramcharran Ram &/or
Leloutie Ram, Case No. 95-34, in non-compliance of Article VI 6-4 (H) 5-b, and that they be
given until April 13, 1995 to come into compliance or be fined $50 a day thereafter. Motion
carried 6-0.

GETTINGS STUDIO, DISPUTE/FALSE ALARM FEES
Chairman Sills said that for the record no one was present to represent Gettings Studio. Board
Clerk Seaver said that Glen Gettings had requested a place on the agenda. The Board could
continue the request to the next meeting. In response to Vice Chairman Carlsson's questions
about what the City wanted the Board to do, Board Clerk Seaver said that the Code states that
any dispute by the owner shall be brought before the Code Enforcement Board. Board Clerk
Seaver said Mr. Gettings had not been noticed of this meeting as it had been placed on the
agenda at Mr. Gettings request, and not by NOH by the City. Board Clerk Seaver said that
she would contact Mr. Gettings about placement on next month's agenda.
Attorney Cool said that unless this Board takes action, Mr. Gettings does owe $490 to the City,
and Mr. Gettings had requested a time before the Board to present his belief that he did not owe

the money. As Mr. Gettings was not in attendance, the Board should not hear it until he appears
to present his case. Vice Chairman Carlsson, seconded by Member Lenko, reference Mr.
Gettings letter of March 3, 1995, and considering that Mr. Gettings did not appear at the
meeting, moved that his request be dro. s ed at this time and the matter be turned back over to
the City to do what they want at their discretion. Motion carried 6-0.

BOARD MEMBERS
Member Alexander complimented the Board secretary on the new format of the minutes and
the Code Enforcement people on the new forms when presenting their cases, making it easier
for the Board members. Member Chestney "seconded" that.
Member Chestney: None
Vice Chairman Carlsson: None
Alternate Santo: Thanked the Board for their interest.
Member Lenko requested a review of the forms, the changes in Chapter 7, and the Hearing and
Administrative Rules, and asked that it be placed on the next meeting agenda.
Member Shagner asked about hearing cases out of context so that people would not be kept
waiting. Chairman Sills said that it was a courtesy, and asked that it be brought to his attention
when someone is waiting. He did not think the agenda should be changed if it were down by
only one or two cases. Vice Chairman Carlsson said that the Board had, in the past, taken
cases out of order.
Alternate Linebarier said that he would be absent for the April meeting.
Attorney Cool: None
Chairman Sills thanked everyone for coming to the meeting.
Mayor Vandergrift was invited to speak by Chairman Sills, and he apologized for not
informing the Board earlier that the meeting would be video taped for possible broadcasting.
He believed that broadcasting the meetings might be utilized as a deterrent and a warning to
violators. Mayor Vandergrift would also like to see a fine, like court cost, levied on every

case that made it to the Code Enforcement Board. Vice Chairman Carlsson believed that the
Board could fine up to $250 per day on the first offense, and up to $500 a day on the repeat
offense but did not think the Board could become involved with court costs or attorneys fees.
Attorney Cool said that he would review the recent changes in the statute, the Hearing Rules,
and the Administrative Rules and get back with the Board at the next meeting.
In response to Mayor Vandergrift's question, Code Enforcement Officers Braddy and Simon
said that fines were being collected. Discussion ensued on the costs and time that involved
cases.
