Mr. Blasie called the roll for the cases to be heard.
Chairman DeLiso explained the plea system, after which the Recording Secretary
administered the oath to all persons present who would be testifying.
V. New Business
Chair DeLiso recognized the presence in the audience of Mr. Andre St. Juste, who had
asked the Code Compliance Board to consider a lien reduction in his case. He had paid
the lien reduction application fee, in spite of being told by the Code Compliance Division
that his property was not in compliance and, therefore, not eligible for a lien reduction.
Chair DeLiso addressed Mr. St. Juste, saying that although he had applied and paid for
a lien reduction, his property was not in compliance, and the Board could not hear his
case. Chair DeLiso directed Mr. St. Juste to meet with Mr. Blasie for further explanation
and a refund of his lien application fee. Mr. Blasie stated that he had mailed a letter to
Mr. St. Juste explaining the details of the case on October 31. He asked Mr. St. Juste to
meet with him so that he could return the lien application fee.

Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 19, 2003
Inspector Lewis reported that this property had been cited on October 23, 2003 and that
Ms. Nancy Byrne, Assistant Development Director, and Mr. Don Johnson, Building
Official, were present to explain the City's case.
Don Johnson, Building Official, distributed copies of the letter from Mr. Greene and the
Red Tags from the Building Department to each Board member and the Recording
Secretary.
Mr. Johnson explained that the neighborhood had suffered through two years of
construction and two developers. The project has moved very slowly and the developer
has not complied with the Land Development Regulations. The developer secured
permits for a trailer, a construction fence, and a temporary pole. All permits have
exceeded their time limits and are now null and void. Mr. Johnson showed the Board
members pictures of the property that he had taken the day before the meeting.
The construction fence has not been maintained. The properties surrounding the trailer
have been allowed to grow up and have not been maintained. The developer had
begun to make construction paths, but has now stopped that effort. The City is asking
the developer to remove the trailer, maintain the construction fence, final grade the lot,
mulch and seed it, and maintain the property until a new developer can secure the
property and move forward with their construction project. Mr. Johnson asked the Board
to consider a substantial fine in the case and no longer than two weeks in which to
complete the requested work.
Chair DeLiso stated his understanding that the developer had declared bankruptcy.
Attorney Tolces indicated that his office had checked the records with Clerk of Court on
the day of the meeting and could not find any actual proceeding that had been filed with
respect to Dakota Lofts Development Corporation. So, they were not sure about the
status of any foreclosure proceeding. They were aware that the corporation had been
administratively dissolved due to a failure to file an annual report; therefore, any
potential liability would then fall on the directors of the corporation. In the future, they
would have to provide notice to a registered agent in the offices of the corporation
individually as well.
Mr. Rossi inquired whether any of the items Mr. Johnson requested had been done or
partially done by the developer. Mr. Johnson responded that they had not. Also, the
City Engineer had asked Dakota Lofts for a surety bond to take care of these things, but
they never supplied it. This is why the Land Development permit was never given.
Bruce Jarvis, 810 Bamboo Lane, Boynton Beach, spoke on behalf of the residents
on Bamboo Lane near the proposed development. He also stated that information he
received from the entitlement attorney for the original developer seemed to indicate that
there were two if not three foreclosure actions in process against Dakota Lofts: He
agreed with Mr. Johnson's assessment of the situation. He expressed concern on
behalf of an individual whose well was disturbed by the pre-construction activities of the

developer(s) and was being served by a temporary line in the vicinity of the trailer down
to her house. He felt that the neighbors had been more than understanding throughout
this past two years and he hoped that if the water line were to be disturbed by the
efforts of the developer to restore the site, that something could be done to assist this
individual.
Chair DeLiso stated that the minutes would be forwarded to the City Commission and
that they could act if they chose to do so. Also, he felt that if representatives from the
neighborhood came to the City Commission meeting to speak about this, they might get
quicker action. The City Commission has the authority to let City staff know that they
need to take care of certain things.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-2929, Vice Chair
Costantino moved that this Board find that Dakota Lofts Development Corporation is in
violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code Section Part 3, and Chapter 6, Article VI
and Chapter 7, Article I of the Land Development Regulations, and Chapter 8-
IV.Section E, 104.6.1 of the Florida Building Code 2001 Edition Boynton Beach
Amendments, and moved to order that the Respondent correct the violations on or
before December 3, 2003. The Board has considered the gravity of the violation, the
actions taken by the Respondent, and any previous violations by the Respondent, and
hereby orders that if the Respondent does not comply with this Order, a fine in the
amount of $250.00 per day plus administrative costs shall be imposed for each day the
violation continues past December 3, 2003. The Respondent is further ordered to
contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance Division in order to arrange for
reinspection of the property to verify compliance with this Order. Dr. Rafkin seconded
the motion that carried unanimously.
Steve Gallagher, 816 Bamboo Lane, Boynton Beach, stated that the water issue
alluded to by Mr. Jarvis is very important. He thought that when the developer took the
trailer down, the individual being served with water via a temporary line would have no
water. He also had a water line that used to be underground but the developer
destroyed it and now it lies on top of the ground. If they destroy the lines in their
attempts to restore the site to its pre-construction condition, they want to know whom
they should speak to about the water issue.
Chair DeLiso responded that they would need to address the City Commission, at which
time City staff would also be present and in a position to direct the City Manager to take
action if the developer disturbs the water supply of the residents in the vicinity.

Maintain site plan per Code. Repair
tennis court area and playground
area and maintain both in safe
condition.
Inspector Roy reported that this property had been cited on August 27, 2003 and that
service was obtained by posting.
Ruth Myerson, 1744 Banyan Creek Court, Boynton Beach, President of the
Stonehaven Homeowners Association, pled guilty and asked for six months. The
Association will have to raise the money for the improvements through an assessment
of the homeowners. They have gotten estimates and an architect and are ready to take
it to the membership for a vote, pending information obtained at this meeting. They
hoped to get the entire area done: the tennis court, the playground, and the fencing
around it. They also plan to make the playground wheelchair accessible.
Chair DeLiso asked if the complex were gated, and Ms. Myerson responded that it was
gated but they had not closed the gate. Inspector Roy gave pictures to the Board. Ms.
Shamblin inquired about whether the tennis courts and playgrounds were adjacent and
still being used. Ms. Myerson responded that the tennis court was not being used but
that there was access to it and to the playground. She is proposing that the gates be
locked for the duration of the construction/renovations for reasons of safety. Mr. Foot
asked Inspector Roy's opinion about giving them six months and Inspector Roy agreed
with that, stating that the HOA had agreed to submit their plans to the City for approval.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-2424, Mr. Foot
that this Board find that Stonehaven HOA is in violation of the City of Boynton

Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 19, 2003
Inspector Pierre reported that this property had received a violation on April 1, 2003.
The violation was discovered through a routine inspection of the neighborhood.
Gerson Memettre, 3166 Orange Street, Boynton Beach, pled guilty and asked for six
months. He stated that in the course of picking up a dumpster at this property, the City
had damaged the sidewalk at his house. He was reluctant to put sod down because he
thought that when the City came to repair the sidewalk, the sod would be disturbed
again.
Chair DeLiso advised Mr. Memettre that the repair of the sidewalk really had nothing to
do with the sod. If the City were to damage the sod, they would come out and fix it.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-1016, Vice Chair
Costantino moved that this Board find that Gerson Memettre is in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code Chapter 15, Article IX-15-120 (D) 1 Inc., and moved to order that
the Respondent correct the violation on or before February 17, 2004. The Board has
considered the gravity of the violation, the actions taken by the Respondent, and any
previous violations by the Respondent, and hereby orders that if the Respondent does
not comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of $25.00 per day plus administrative
costs shall be imposed for each day the violation continues past February 17, 2004. The
Respondent is further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance

purchasing sod for her property.
Motion

sprinkler system at this time.
Mr. Foot asked Inspector Pierre's opinion of 60 days and Inspector Pierre declared that
Mr. Cedieu could patch the grass before that time.

Lien Reductions
Case #99-2068 David W. Nichols/Surie Ramsackal 2651 N. Seacrest Blvd.
Inspector Cain reported that a notice of violation was issued on this property on August
23, 1999 for violations of the Community Appearance Code. A Code Compliance Board
meeting was held on February 16, 2000 and no one appeared. The Board set a
compliance date of March 13, 2000 and proposed a fine of $25.00 per day. The
property came into compliance on November 10, 2003 for 1335 days of non-compliance
and an accrued fine of $33,375.00 plus administrative costs of $730.15. Inspector Cain
further reported that when this notice of violation was originally issued, the property
owner was David W. Nichols, who is now deceased.
Jeff Tomberg, 626 S.E. 4th Street, Boynton Beach, appeared to represent the interim
owner of the home, Michael Price. He stated that Mr. Price had purchased the property
in August of 2003 and that he had taken out 7 to 10 dumpsters full of trash. Mr. Price
sold the property to Mr. Surie Ramsackal, who completed the repairs and improvements
to the property. Permits have been issued for new windows and doors.
Mr. Tomberg related that the ownership of the property had been clouded for some
time, with tenants claiming to be owners, and heirs who were difficult to find. He referred
to various problems with the tenants and an inability to access the property in the time
since Mr. Nichols passed away. The property is now in compliance. Mr. Tomberg
requested that the lien be forgiven in its entirety, in light of the heroic work Mr. Price and
Mr. Ramsackal had accomplished in a very short period of time.
Mr. Foot commented that the neighbors should be compensated for the reduction in
their property values during the time that the property was in a blighted condition. He
felt that the Board should consider a nominal fine of $1,000 plus administrative costs.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 99-2068, 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 reduce the fines instituted in Case No. 99-2068, by virtue of this

grass and swale complied. The violation was given as a result of a complaint.
Don M. Pinatel, 634 S.W. 1st Avenue, Boynton Beach, pled guilty. He stated that his

Violation(s):
3osephine Daffin
315 N.W. 10th Avenue
CH-15-ART. IX-15-120 (D) INC.
Remove unregistered vehicle and
sod bare spots.
Inspector Pierre reported that this case had originally been cited on October 6, 2003 as
a result of a routine inspection of the neighborhood.
3osephine Daffin, 315 N.W. 10m Avenue, Boynton Beach, pled no contest.
;Inspector Pierre stated that Ms. Daf'fin is a repeat violator. Chair DeLiso asked Ms.
Daffin how much time she needed and she responded 30 days. She moved the car the
same day that :Inspector Pierre took the picture. She was gathering mulch to mulch the
back yard and said that i[nspector Pierre had told her she could do that. She had bought
ten bags so far and would have to wait until the end of the month to purchase the
remaining bags of mulch. :Inspector Pierre did not believe that this is what he told Ms.
Daffin and that there was too much area to be covered by mulch. Ms. Daffin disagreed,
saying that he had told her that she kept her barbecue equipment in the backyard, and
that he had said to mulch it. Inspector Pierre advised that he told Ms. Daffin she could
put mulch around the tree, not the whole back yard. Ms. Daffin said that it was not the
whole back yard, just the area where her barbecue equipment is placed.
Chair DeLiso asked Mr. Blasie for a reading on the issue, and Mr. Blasie stated that the
Code says that it would not be permissible to have more than 100 square feet of non-
landscaped area. Ms. Shamblin asked how big the back yard was and the response was
10 feet by 10 feet, which Ms. Shamblin did not think was very big.
Mr. Foot thought that an alternative would be to have landscape materials along with
the mulch, although both cost money. He suggested sixty days for compliance and
proposed a fine of $50 per day.
Chair DeLiso asked Ms. Daffin what she planned to do with the front yard. Ms. Daffin
indicated that she was doing the best she could with the lawn. She cannot afford
maintenance.
Ms. Shamblin asked ~[nspector Pierre whether Ms. Daffin could receive assistance from
the City of Boynton Beach. ~nspector Pierre stated that every time the Community

Chair DeLiso suggested that Ms. Daf'fin contact the Faith-Based Community
Development Corporation again for further assistance.
Chair DeLiso left the meeting at approximately 8:13 p.m. before the vote on this motion.

Inspector Lewis reported that this property had been cited on September 5, 2003 for an
occupational license requirement. A Code Compliance Board hearing was held on
October 15, 2003 and no one appeared. The Board set a compliance date of October
30, 2003 and proposed a fine of $25.00 per day. The violation still exists. Hr. Scott Kipp
is present and states that he is representing the property for the owner.
Scott Kipp, 646 Snug Harbor Drive, Boynton Beach, representing Corp. Daceus
Miller, who is serving on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corp. He stated that he had
been given Power of Attorney to represent Mr. Miller.
Ms. Shamblin inquired whether the property was vacant and Mr. Kipp stated that Mr.
Miller stays there when he is home on leave and his family lives in a part of it. Mr. Kipp
stated that he and Hr. Hiller had never received a certified letter from the City. The
first they heard of this problem was when a notice was put on the door. An
unauthorized person is living in the property and not paying rent.
Inspector Lewis advised that the City did get service according to Florida Statutes by
posting the property and there was a signed letter received by the City. The issue came
about as a complaint from a tenant living up front in the property, who said he was
paying rent to Mr. Scott Kipp on a weekly basis. Inspector Lewis discovered that the
home was a single family home and went to do an inspection in September. The home
is divided up into two parts. There is a door that goes into the back where another
family is living and he did not make contact with them. The door is nailed shut. There
are holes in the roof. After he did the initial violation, he wrote another citation for
building violations. The windows are screwed shut and wires are hanging down. They
stated that Mr. Kipp would not fix it and was trying to evict them. Inspector Lewis told
17

the tenant that this was a civil matter. They had called Inspector Lewis several times
and he had gone back and nothing had been fixed.
Attorney Tolces reviewed the power of attorney provided by Mr. Kipp and stated that it
empowered Mr. Kipp to act for Mr. Miller in real estate matters, but not necessarily for
claims. He left it up to the Board's discretion whether they wanted to continue. Attorney
Tolces stated that if Mr. Kipp would provide the code officers with his address, they
would send him future notices.
Dr. Rafkin stated that Mr. Kipp should have known that an occupational license was
needed for a single family home renting out space.
Mr. Kipp wanted to know who had signed the certified letter from the City, and it
appeared to be the family renting the space in the front of the house. Attorney Tolces
advised that it did not have to be a family member as long as the person who signed it
was over age 15. Also, with all due respect, Attorney Tolces indicated to Mr. Kipp that
Mr. Kipp had 19 days after seeing the posted notice to contact the City and had not
done so.
