A. CASES TO BE HEARD
Case #01-483:
Property Address:
Violation:
Thomas E. & Sandra M. Johnson
64 Paxford Lane
SBC '97 ED 104.1.1 and 104.7.2; Permit
Application 00-2637; Permit required for screen
enclosure - See copy of Red Tag dated February
26, 2001.
Inspector Cain presented the case.
Thomas E. Johnson, 64 Paxford Lane, Boynton Beach, pled not guilty and
distributed various documents to the Board (which are attached to the minutes).
The respondent stated that when he pUrchased the home in 1993 the seller
informed him that he could build a screen enclosure on the existing concrete slab
in the rear of the property. His is the only home in Boynton Lakes North that did
not have a screen enclosure. The original owner in 1990 had an approved
permit to pour the slab with footers with the intent to build the enclosure.
The respondent stated that when he applied for a permit for the enclosure in
JUne 2000, it was denied because of utility easement encroachments. He pointed
out that when the slab was approved in 1990 there was an encroachment on the
utility easement at that time and the permit was still granted.

November 21, 2001
The respondent stated that he built the screen enclosure without a permit
because he had been told that there are many patios built by the original builder
that encroached upon utility easements.
When the respondent received notice of the code violation, he was told to speak
to the Planning and Zoning Department. That Department requested
documentation from the four utility companies that were involved, which he
provided. He was also requested to provide a No Harm Statement, which he did,
The respondent also said he met with Mr. Quintus Greene who suggested he
speak to the City Attorney. Mr. Johnson thought the problem had been solved
because he heard nothing further for two months. He then received notice to
appear at the Code Board hearing.
Mr. Johnson presented photographs of the property and letters fi'om his
neighbors stating they did not object to the enclosure. He asked that he be
allowed to keep the screen enclosure.
Chairman DeLisO inquired if the original building permit included the slab and
enclosure and the respondent stated it included both. Chairman DeLiso inquired
if there was any relief from the City for the respondent to keep the screen
enclosure. Inspector Cain pointed out that the respondent is being cited for
putting up the enclosure without a permit and is in violation of the City Code.
Inspector Cain stated that the enclosure does not meet the setback
requirements.
Attorney Tolces pointed out that the plan review comments contain a statement
that the proposed enclosure is on a 10' utility easement and utility easements
cannot be encroached upon. Therefore, the permit cannot be approved. Attorney
Tolces noted that the respondent was advised that he could not build the
enclosure as originally intended. Despite this, he built the enclosure.
Mr. Miriana suggested that the respondent apply for a variance. Mr. Foot
suggested giving the respondent 60 days to resolve the situation with the City.
Ms. Zibelli inquired what the City's position was. Mr. Blasie inquired about the
outcome of the conversation the respondent had with the City Attorney. The
respondent stated; that the City Attorney informed him that he would look into the
issue. Mr. Blasie also pointed out that the back of the respondent's house uses
more of the rear of the property than other homes in the development and that is
why the other houSes were able to build enclosures.
Mr. Foot inquired how long it would take the respondent to resolve his problems
with the City. Mr. Blasie felt that the respondent has used all his resources
except to speak with his Commissioner. Mr. Blasie stated that this Board must
deal with the Code and the respondent built the enclosure without a permit.

Charles Joseph, 501 NW 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach, took the podium.
Inspector Pierre interpreted for the respondent. The respondent stated that the
property was just deeded to him last month and he is the new owner of the
property. The respondent did not know that there were code violations on the
property and does not know what needs to be done to bring the property into
compliance.
After discussion, it was determined to dismiss the case and to cite the new
owner.

C. LIEN REDUCTIONS
Case #99-2444
Job Sylvain &
Josette Bouchard
1123 Sea Pines Way
Lantana, FL 33462
620 NE 7th Avenue
Mr. Blasie stated that the property was cited on September 28, 1999 for violation
of the Community Appearance Code. No one appeared at the November 17,
1999 hearing. The property was brought into compliance on August 30, 2001 for
624 days of non-compliance and a fine of $15,600 plus $634.12 in administrative
costs. Mr. Blasie presented "before" and "after" photos of the property.
Job Sylvain, 620 NE 7th Avenue, Boynton Beach, said that he now lives on the
property. In 1999 he was separated from his wife and the property was under her
care. He was living in Boca Raton at that time. Because he was not living at the
Lantana address, he never knew about the violations and the liens.
Mr. Blasie stated he should have known about the lien because there is a memo
in his file from the City's Legal Department informing him that the mortgage
holder was going to foreclose. Mr. Sylvain responded that when the court
ordered the house be put in his name, he brought the property out of foreclosure.
The respondent stated that he has put over $25,000 into the property.
Mr. Miriana said that the property has greatly improved and is an asset to the
neighborhood. The respondent took the property over in February 2001 and is
still fixing it up. Members agreed that the property has been greatly improved.

Case #98-1635
Rene Demesmin &
Pheda Salomon
164 S. Palm Drive
Mr. Blasie stated that the property was originally cited on May 22, 1998 for
violation of the Community Appearance Code and Zoning Ordinances. No one
appeared at the August 19, 1998 hearing. The property complied on November
14, 2001 for a total of 1156 days of non-compliance for a fine of $28,900 plus
administrative costs of $730.15. Mr. Blasie presented "before" and "after" photos
of the property to the Board.
Rene Demesmin, 164 S. Palm Drive, Boynton Beach said he has not lived at
the property for over four years. He paid someone to take care of the property
for him. The respondent stated that he never received any mail regarding code
violations and just found out there was a lien on the property when he put the
property up for sale. Mr. Blasie said that the mail had been returned by the Post
Office as unclaimed and service was made by posting.
Chairman DeLiso asked the respondent where he had been living during the past
four years and he stated that he lived in Lantana. Chairman DeLiso questioned
why the respondent never checked on his property during this time period. He
replied that he relied on the tenant to take care of the property for him. The
respondent stated that he did not have enough money to keep the house in good
repairs. Hewas informed that the house was his responsibility even if he did not
live there. The respondent stated he was three months behind in his mortgage
payments because the house is no longer occupied and he is not receiving any
rent.

reduced to $1,730.15, including administrative costs. Motion seconded by Vice
Chair Hammer and unanimously carried.
Mr. Foot pointed out that the Board no longer "recommends" the fine. Mr.
Miriana amended his motion to read:..."find that the fine instituted in Case No.
98-1635 by virtue of this Board's Order of August 19, 1998 be reduced to
$1,730,15 including administrative costs". Vice Chair Hammer seconded the
amended motion that unanimously carried.
The respondent was advised of the appeal procedure.
Case #99-1084
Riverwalk Plaza Joint Venture
7890 Peters Road #G105
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33324
1609 S. Federal Hwy.
The respondent has two lien reduction cases to be heard tonight. The first case
deals with awnings. The property was originally cited on May 12, 1999 and came
into compliance on December 15, 1999 for 134 days of non-compliance and a
fine of $3,350 plus $634.12 in administrative costs. Mr. Blasie stated that the
delay for compliance was due in part to the lengthy process that the respondent
went through with staff and the site plan modification.
Mr. Robert Levy, 1690 S. Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, agent for the
applicant, took the podium. The respondent stated that the delay in putting up
the awnings was due to the City's interpretation of the plans for the awnings.
They had to hire an engineer, submit certified drawings and then go through the
permitting process. After approval, the awnings had to be manufactured in
accordance with the specifications, which resulted in the delay. Mr. Blasie was
recommending no fine in this case since there is a second case on the agenda.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 99-1084, and
having been advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction
procedures set forth in Sections 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton Beach
Code of Ordinances, Mr. Foot moved that this Board find that the fine instituted in
Case No. 99-1084, by virtue of this Board's Order of July 21, 1999 be reduced to
no fine. This order is not final until the expiration of the time of appeal expires
under Ordinance 01-07. Motion seconded by Mr. Miriana and unanimously
carried.
Case #99-1157
Riverwalk Plaza Joint Venture
7890 Peters Road #G105
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33324
1608 S. Federa~ Hwy.
This is the second case, which is a violation of the Standard Building Code for
permit intent. There were over 20 items involved in this case, many of which
16
Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, FL
November 21, 2001
were landscaping and are listed on the punch list prepared by the Building
Department on November 2, 1998. Many meetings 'took place between the
applicant and City staff addressing the issues. Also when the case came before
this Board, a fine of $250 per day was assessed which has resulted in the
$152,500 fine.
The property complied on August 3, 2001 when the Building Department signed
off on the permit. Mr. Blasie has no recommendation on this case. The case
also involved a wall, which required a variance that was ultimately approved by
the Commission. Because there was no room to put up a wall, a fence with
landscaping was built in place of the wall, at a great expense because the
respondent was required to post a bond for the improvements. The old fence had
to be removed.
Mr. Levy stated they also had problems with the contractors and had to hire a
new contractor to complete the job. With regard to the dumpsters, it was never in
the building plan to build dumpsters since there was no need for them. However
dumpsters appeared on an older site plan and newer City staff requested that the
dumpsters be built. Therefore, the same process with the wall ensued regarding
dumpsters. The property now looks beautiful and is an asset to the City. Also,
the irrigation system for the property had to be reconfigured because the City
could not locate the file. Mr. Levy pointed out that while this process was taking
place, the property was fully assessed and they were paying real estate taxes on
the entire property.
Trammel-Crow is now the property manager. They are taking excellent care of
the property and the entire shopping center has been repainted. The applicant
asked that the fine be reduced to administrative costs only.
Chairman DeLiso noted that at a prior meeting, which was attended by Mr. Don
Johnson, the City's Building Official, he stated that Riverwalk was not
cooperating in taking care of the violations and that there was also a money
issue. Further, at that time the respondent stated they did not have the funds to
complete the project and thus requested a variance for the fence instead of the
wall, which in great part caused the long delay in completing the project. Mr.
Levy stated that the new fence and landscaping cost more than the wall would
have cost.
Because they had to change contractors, this resulted in a financial burden
because the original contractor never completed the work. Chairman DeLiso
questioned why it still would take 610 days to complete the project. The
respondent stated that most of the items had been done as soon as possible and
there were only a few items remaining, such as the dumpsters.
Mr. Foot inquired when the fence was put up once the variance was approved.
Mr. Levy stated two to three months.

Chairman DeLiso would like to have a representative from the Building
Department present at the next meeting before the Board votes on this case.
There are many discrepancies that need to be answered. Chairman DeLiso did
not want to assess only administrative costs without hearing from the E~uilding
Department. Mr. Blasie noted that at the October 1999 Compliance Board
Meeting the respondent was given 60 days to complete the wall and dumpster
issues. Mr. Footisuggested tabling the case.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 99-1157, and
having been advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction
procedures set forth in Sections 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton Beach
Code of Ordinances, Vice Chair Hammer moved that this Board find that the fine
instituted in Case No. 99-1157, by virtue of this Board's Order of July 21, 1999 be
reduced to $730.15. This order is not final until the expiration of the time of
appeal expires under Ordinance 01-07.
Mr. Mariana requested that the motion be amended to increase the fine to
$1,730.15. Vice Chair Hammer amended her motion to increase the fine to
$1,730.15. Mr. Miriana seconded the amended motion. Motion failed 2-3
(Chairman DeLiso, Mr. Foot and Ms. Zibelli dissenting).
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that Case No. 99-1157 be tabled until the Code Compliance
Board Meeting tobe held on January 16, 2002. Motion seconded by Ms. Zibelli
and unanimously carried.
Vice Chair Hammer requested that Item VI.F. be moved up for discussion.
F. LIEN REDUCTION UPDATE
Mr. Blasie informed the Board that he discussed the issue with Ms. Prainito, City
Clerk, regarding a second meeting date for the Board. Ms. Prainito noted that
the last Wednesday of each month would be available, since most other nights
have meetings scheduled. The fourth Monday of the month was the second
choice. If the Board wanted to meet during the day, almost any date would be
available.
Members would like the second meeting to be scheduled during the day. Mr.
Blasie suggested the last Wednesday during the day would be best. Mr. Foot
suggested 3:00 p.m. as the time for the meeting. For clarification, Mr. Blasie
requested that the date be the fourth Wednesday of the month, not the last
Wednesday.

Chairman DeLiso would also like to have a vote that would include if the agenda
for the third Wednesday is extremely large, that some of the cases be moved to
the meeting on the fourth Wednesday. Staff responded that the hearing notices
are sent out in advance of the meeting date and it would be difficult to split the
hearing dates.
Mr. Foot suggested that if the agenda for a particular meeting date was small that
the lien reductions could still be heard on the third Wednesday. Mr. Blasie stated
this was possible, but it is hard to predict the length of any meeting.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that the Board establish a schedule for special board meetings
on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 3:00 p.m. to hear lien reduction
requests, as needed. Motion seconded by Mr. Miriana.
Attorney Tolces stated that the motion should be amended to reflect that lien
reductions would only be heard on the fourth Wednesday of every month at a
meeting scheduled at 3:00 p.m.
Mr. Foot amended his motion to state that lien reductions would only be heard on
the fourth Wednesday of every month at a meeting scheduled at 3:00 p.m. Vice
Chair Hammer seconded the amended motion that carried 4-1 (Ms. Zibelli
dissenting).
Vice Chair Hammer inquired if this would affect the number of Board absences
that are allowed. Chairman DeLiso thought that the Board absence policy is
being redone. Attorney Tolces pointed out that currently the Ordinance provides
that any Board member who misses two out of three successive meetings would
be removed. He will speak with the Clerk's Office to verify what the Code does
provide.
It was noted that this would be a regularly scheduled meeting and not a "special"
meeting, which Attorney Tolces stated was correct. He also pointed out that in
the last lien reduction case the motion specified that the case would be tabled to
the January 16, 2002 regular meeting and needs to be changed to the fourth
Wednesday of December. Mr. Tolces noted that Mr. Levy was still in the
audience and that the motion needs to be amended.
Mr. Foot amended his motion that Case #99-1157 be tabled until the December
26, 2001 meeting at 3:00 p.m. Mr. Miriana seconded the amended motion that
unanimously carried.

Easement Agreement
March 7,2001
City of Boynton Beach
200 N. Seacrest Blvd.
Boynton Beach, FI. 33435
Gentlemen:
I propose to apply for a City building permit to erect a screened enclosure on an
existing concrete slab that was approved by the City of Boynton Beach ten years ago. The
original owner of my home stated at the real estate closing that he had permission from
the Boynton Beach Code Enforcement to pour the concrete slab with a footer and erect
the screened enclosure, however he and his wife chose to hold off for a while and finish
the project at a later date. The package deal made with the Boynton Beach Code
Enforcement Department in 1989 was verified by Jose Alfaro. I asked Jose ifI could be
grandfathered in to this agreement that was made ten years ago and his reply was no,
therefore the permit to erect the screened enclosure was denied. The encroachment into
the utility easement has already been compromised with the permission to pour the
concrete slab by code enforcement. I also told Jose when the permit was denied I would
sign and notarize a statement from me stating that I would accept full responsibility for
the encroachment in the event that any future construction had to be performed on the
utility easement. I understand that no company will be responsibile for any repa/rs to, or
replacement of, any portion of the concrete slab or the screened enclosure and that any
removal or replacement of this construction necessary for their use of this easement will
be done at my expense.
I agree to the proposed construction under the circumstances described above.
