Case #02-230
Townhouses of Golfview Harbour
c/o M. J. Gallup Accounting
235 N.E. 6th Avenue Ste. D
Delray Beach, FI 33483
1416 Oxford Lane
Tnspector Melillo stated that the notice of violation was originally issued on
January 24, 2002 for a permit requirement for reconstructing a block wall. A
Code Compliance Board meeting was held on June 19, 2002 and Respondent did
not appear. The Board set a compliance date of July 19, 2002 and proposed a
fine of $25.00 per day. The property has not yet come into compliance.
Steve Braun, 2722 Yale Lane, Boynton Beach, president of the
Homeowners Association at Townhouses of Golfview Harbor, explained that
there was no representation at the June 19, 2002 Code Compliance meeting
because the notice had been sent to the wrong address. Tt had been sent to
Oxford Lane and not to Gallup Accounting in Delray Beach. Originally, a car hit
the wall. They contracted with someone who did not finish the job. They tried
other contractors and were not able to obtain anyone to finish the job. They

were told that the job was too small or too big. They eventually obtained the
services of a consultant who agreed to handle the job and expects to complete it
in another 60 to 90 days.
Hotion
Mr. Foot moved to table Case No. 02-230 until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on March 19, 2003. Vice Chair Hammer seconded the motion
that carried unanimously.
Case #02-1248
Perry & Sandra Bland
147 S.W. 25m Avenue
Inspector Melillo stated that this property had originally been cited on May 15,
2002 for illegal exterior storage, a hot tub without a permit, and hurricane
hazards. A Code Compliance Board hearing was held on .luly 17, 2002 and the
Respondents did not appear. The Board set a compliance date of August 16,
2002 and proposed a fine of $25.00 a day. The property came into compliance
on December 11, 2002.
Inspector Melillo explained that it was originally thought that this was a regular
type of pool and a regular deck; however, it was a portable spa and did not need
the electrical work. Tt should have complied sooner but there was some
discrepancy in the point of view of the Building Department. Once they realized
it was a portable spa, they realized that a permit was not required. The City
recommended that no fine be assessed.
David Crossett, 147 S.W. 25th Avenue, Boynton Beach, friend of Ms.
Bland, stated that it had taken a lot of time for the architect to draw up the plans
that were required.
Mr. Foot asked when the hurricane hazards had been removed. Tnspector Melillo
stated that they had been removed immediately after the violation was issued.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 02-1248, and
having considered the gravity of the violations, the actions taken by the
Respondent, and any and all previous violations committed by the Respondent,
Mr. Foot moved that this Board find that Sandra Bland has violated this Board's
prior Order of .luly 17, 2002, and this Board impose and certify a fine in the

Case #02-1666
Michelle Hubbard
1239 Gondola Lane
Inspector Pierre indicated that this property had been given a notice of violation
on July 1, 2002 for violations of the Appearance Code and the need to secure a
pool area. A Code Compliance Board hearing was held on August 21, 2002 and
the Respondent did not appear. The Board set a compliance date of September
1, 2002 and a fine of $25.00 per day. The property has not yet complied.
Michelle Hubbard, 1239 Gondola Lane, Boynton Beach, came to the
podium along with her attorney, David Ginsburg. Mr. Ginsburg stated that the
only remaining violation on the property was for the sod. A permit was obtained
for the sod and a contractor did the job. Tn the process of laying the sod, trucks
were going back and forth over the lawn and damaged the sprinkler system and
the sod. Ms. Hubbard has contracted for a lawn maintenance service to lay the
sod and Mr. Ginsburg requested that Ms. Hubbard be given time for the sprinkler
system to be repaired and the new sod to become established. He also
requested that no fine be assessed.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved to table Case No. 02-1666 until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on April 16, 2003 with the comment that the fine continues to
accrue until the violations are corrected. Mr. Miriana seconded the motion that
carried unanimously.
Mr. Ginsburg was advised that if the property came into compliance prior to April
16, 2003, it would behoove the applicant to arrange for an inspection by the City
to verify compliance.
Case #01-312 Johnny L. & Linda A. Waters 1635 N.E. 3rd Street
Inspector Melillo explained that this property had originally been cited for
violations of the Community Appearance Code on February 9, 2001. A Code
Compliance Board hearing was held on September 18, 2002 and the
Respondents appeared. The Board set a compliance date of December 18, 2002
and proposed a fine of $25.00 per day. The property has not yet come into
compliance. The only remaining violation on Case #01-312 is the sod; however,
it is a very large lot that will probably require about 15 pallets of sod and $1,500
to reach compliance.
Linda Waters, 1635 N.E. 3~d Street, Boynton Beach, stated that the trash,
debris, and unregistered vehicles had been removed. She indicated that she did
not have the money to bring the property into compliance by laying sod.

Code Compliance Board Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
January 15, 2003
Inspector Melillo explained further that when Ms. Waters applied to the
Community Improvement Division for money to bring the property into
compliance, a City inspector determined that the required repairs to the property
would amount to more than the worth of the house - approximately $43K.
There are problems with roof leaks and windows but they do not pertain to this
Code Compliance case.
After a lengthy discussion, the Board came to a consensus that the Board should
write to the Community :Improvement Division requesting assistance with the sod
in this particular case. The other items that needed repair inside the house were
not a part of this Code Compliance case and could be dealt with later. Mr. Blasie
indicated that he would handle this and report back to the Board. As an
alternative, Ms. Waters was directed to the Faith-based Community Development
Corporation on the corner of Seacrest and Gateway Boulevards.
Motion
Vice Chair Hammer moved to table Case No. 01-312 until the Code Compliance
Board meeting to be held on April 16, 2003. Mr. Miriana seconded the motion.
Mr. Foot was in favor of tabling the case for 30 to 60 days so that the
Respondent would continue to seek solutions.
The motion passed 6-1, Mr. Foot dissenting.
Case #02-2195
T.B. & Clara Hicks
522 N.W. 5th Street
:Inspector Pierre reported that the notice of violation on this property had been
issued on August 22, 2002 for unregistered vehicles, debris, and tires. A Code
Compliance Board hearing was held on October 16, 2002 and the Respondents
did appear. The Board set a compliance date of November 15, 2002 and
proposed a fine of $25.00 per day. The property has not yet come into
compliance.
Gregory Hicks of 522 N.W. 5th Street, Boynton Beach, spoke on behalf of
T.B. and Clara Hicks. Mr. Gregory Hicks stated that he had been fixing a car to
be a racecar and Tnspector Pierre notified him that he had to get it registered
and obtain tags. He had an appointment for that car to be picked up and
removed from the property just after the meeting this evening. He requested
another 30 days.

Request for Reconsideration
Case #01-3431
Ralph Rosie, Tnc. 2007 So. Federal Highway
Scott Blasie advised the Board that this had been Inspector Pete Roy's case and
that Inspector Roy had given the Respondent several extensions to try to take
care of the permit and site plan proceedings that were required to bring the
property into compliance. The original notice of violation was issued on
December 14, 2001. The case was due to come before the Board last month and
Mr. Beryl Kruger, representing Ralph Rosie, [nc., called to see what this
Respondent needed to do in order to obtain more time. Mr. Blasie's recollection
of this conversation was that if they got a permit application from the Building
and Development Departments, their case would be removed from the agenda.
No one showed up at the meeting last month and no permit applications were
obtained. When they got the notice that the case was heard, that they had not
appeared, and that a fine was proposed that would begin on January 17, 2003,
Mr. Kruger called Mr. Blasie and stated that he thought they had a deal. Mr.
Kruger asked for an opportunity to come before the Board to explain the matter.
Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
.lanuary 15, 2003
Mr. Blasie stated that they were not going to re-hear the case but that Mr.
Kruger was seeking an extension of the proposed compliance date.
Mr. Tolces stated that this would require a motion to reconsider from a person
who voted in favor of the original Board Order. Then, if the Board wished to
reconsider the compliance date, that issue could be discussed and if the Board so
desired, a new compliance date could be set. The Board had already signed the
Board Order but there were appellate rights to that Order. He did not
recommend that the Board re-open the case since that would extend the time
during which a person could appeal the Board Order. Since the 30-day time
period had not expired, it would be possible to amend the compliance date if so
desired by the Board. If this were done, a new Board Order with the amended
date would have to be prepared.
t4otion
Mr. Foot moved to open Case No. 01-3431 for reconsideration of the compliance
date. Ms. Zibelli seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
There was some question as to whether the required improvements would be
"permit-table" due to some setback issues. The conclusion was that this could
not be answered definitively at this time and that the Board would just proceed
with the compliance date reconsideration as a "stand-alone" issue.
Beryl Kruger, 90 N.E. 16th Street, Delray Beach, a planning and zoning
consultant, appeared on behalf of the property owner, Ralph & Rosie's
Restaurant, who first contacted him on this matter on December 3, 2002. Mr.
Kruger contacted Mr. Blasie immediately but was unable to speak with him since
Mr. Blasie was on vacation. He first spoke to Mr. Blasie in December and
requested a copy of the violation notice. Mr. Blasie stated that they had to
submit paperwork to the Building Department. He told him that they had just
ordered the survey and that they needed as-built drawings before they could
submit anything. Mr. Kruger believed that they had an extension of time but Mr.
Blasie said no. There was a misunderstanding between the two of them. if he
had realized that there was no postponement, he or the owner would have been
present at the Code meeting. When Mr. Kruger learned of the Board Order he
telephoned Mr. Blasie and advised him that it would take at least four months to
get the paperwork in order. The Planning Department advised him that a minor
modification to the site plan was required. After the modification is made, as-
built drawings will be required by the Planning & Building Departments. The
survey is complete. The architect will have the as-built drawings completed by
the middle of next week and when he has that, Mr. Kruger will finish and submit
the application for the minor site plan modification.

Mr. Rossi inquired about what a minor modification meant. He was concerned
that the Board would be approving something that was not "doable." Mr. Blasie
stated that the Planning & Zoning Department staff would determine this. Mr.
Kruger indicated that if the awning could not be permitted, it would be
engineered so that it could be permitted. If it is in the setback where it cannot
be placed, it will be removed.
Mr. Rossi inquired if the awning was in the setback and Mr. Kruger replied that a
part of it was.

Ms. Zibelli moved to extend the compliance date in the Board Order from
January :~7, 2003 to May 15, 2003 in the case of Ralph & Rosie's Restaurant,
Case No. 01-3431. Mr. Walsh seconded the motion that carried 6-1, Mr. Rossi
dissenting.
Mr. Tolces indicated that the effect of this motion would be to amend the Board
Order to provide for compliance by May 15, 2003.

Brian & Jana I~leade 2547 S.W. :~0m Street
Inspector Melillo reported that this property had received a notice of violation on
August 14, 2002 for Community Appearance Code issues. A Code Compliance
Board hearing was held on September 19, 2002 and Respondents did not
appear. The Board set a compliance date of October 3, 2002 and proposed a fine
of $25.00 per day. When the white Lincoln is removed, the violation will be
satisfied but it was still there on the morning of this meeting.
Brian I~leade and Jana f4eade, 2547 S.W. :~0~h Street~ Boynton Beach,
advised that the last inoperable vehicle, a white Lincoln, had been sold and
removed just before the meeting. He stated that this car could not be towed
earlier as it was hemmed in by another vehicle. He also explained the financial
and other difficulties over the last four months that contributed to the
continuance of the violation.
Chair DeLiso inquired if the Meades were repeat violators and inspector Melillo
responded that they were not, This was the first violation they had ever received
but the City had received several complaints about it. Inspector Melillo wanted
Mr. Meade to understand that further instances of this kind of violation
(unregistered/inoperable vehicles) would not be tolerated.

Request for Dismissal
Case #01-2761
Robin Lorenz Ben-Ari 805 S.W. Ist Court
Mr. Blasie advised the Board that staff had requested that Case #01-2761 be
dismissed and all fines dropped. He referred to his letter to the Code Compliance
Board dated December 27, 2002 in which he detailed the reasons for the
dismissal. Basically, staff determined that Ms. Lorenz Ben-Ari did not require a
permit for her unfinished pool unless further work took place. The pool is
acceptable as is until Ms. Lorenz Ben-Ari decides to either remove it or complete
it. Ms. Lorenz Ben-Ari understands any further work on the pool would require a
new permit, along with the applicable inspections. She had placed safety barriers
around the pool to sufficiently negate any safety concerns. Also, a determination

was made that the existing structure really had a valid permit at the time it was
constructed. The case was initially processed because the permit had expired
without the pool being completed. These determinations were reached in a
meeting Mr. Blasie participated in with the Assistant Development Director, the
Building Official, and the City Manager.
The Board previously certified the fine.
