Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, FL 33436 February 3, 2000 To' Scott Blasie Director of Code Enforcement City of Boynton Beach From: Alex Mitnik Knuth Gas & Oil (Amoco) Re: Satellite dish (case #99-~5-48)- As you are aware we were issued a violation for not enclosing our satellite dish. After receiving the violation I contacted AMOCO to notify them. I subsequently found out that they never filed for a dish permit. After speaking with John Sorkin, Amoco's project engineer, and explaining to him my concerns he told me that they're contractor dropped the ball and would apply for the permit ASAP. I finally received the permit, 99-5330, in the beginning of December '99. Once we had the permit in hand our architect submitted plans to the Boynton Beach buildings department for a permit on enclosing the dish, 99-3976. I had a contractor look at the plans and review, physically, the site. He then notified me that the plans were not to scale. I contacted the architect and had him redo the plans per spec. After receiving the plans I reviewed them with the architect and the contractor .and was told that the cost to do the work doubled because of the size of the structure required to enclose the dish. I then contacted the planning & zoning department and voiced my concerns regarding such a structure on my roof. I was told that I had an option of moving the dish off the roof and on to the ground. I discussed this with the architect and the Amoco project engineer and they are drawing up plans to submit to the city for a permit. I do not have enough time to complete this work before the February deadline. I would appreciate any extension you can accommodate. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
