Case #07-72
Marcia L. Weiser, et al
3701 Medford Ct.
Liz Roehrich, Animal Control Supervisor, reviewed the details of the case. She
explained a Cease and Desist Order was previously issued. There was one violation
from May 1st of this year and she advised there were witnesses available to testify.
Attorney Tolces explained the City would present its case and then Ms. Weiser could
respond. He explained there would be no plea entered.
Officer Roehrich informed the Board, her witnesses were Ms. Karen Hahn, Jennifer
Hahn and Pam Norris would testify. She announced there was only one incident
observed where the dog was off the leash.
Ms. Karen Hahn, 3602 Medford Court, testified on May 1st at about 9:30 p.m. she
was sitting with Pam Norris and her daughter. She left the patio to get something from
her home and as she was approaching the parking lot, Ms. Weiser's dog ran to her. Ms.
Hahn screamed. Ms. Weiser called her dog two or three times to stop and she came
and got her dog. Ms. Hahn told Ms. Weiser to keep the dog on a leash, and that it was
getting ridiculous. It was the second time Ms. Weiser's dog approached her
aggressively. Ms. Kahn had told Ms. Weiser to keep the dog under control and she was
afraid of her dog. Ms. Weiser responded the dog was trying to be friendly. Ms. Hahn
did not feel that way.
Ms. Cook asked if the dog's owner was observed with the dog when the dog was seen.
Ms. Hahn responded she was, but the dog ran a distance of about 160' feet to her.
There was a leash on the dog, but the dog was not under control, it just came at her.
Ms. Weiser was in sight at the time.
Ms. Jennifer Hahn, 3602 Medford Court, was with Karen Hahn, her mother, and Ms.
Norris when her mother left to go back to the house and get something. Jennifer heard
a loud bark and observed the dog running at her mother who yelled at the dog to stop.
Ms. Weiser did tell the dog to stop a couple times and the dog did.

Ms. Pam Norris, 3702 Medford Court, testified Ms. Hahn and her daughter were at her
home at about 9:30 p.m. on May 1, 2007, when Ms. Hahn left her porch to get
something from her house. Ms. Norris heard the dog growl and bark, and Karen Hahn
scream. She stood to watch and observed the dog running toward Karen Hahn. She
heard Ms. Weiser say to Karen the dog was trying to say hello to her and Karen
responding to Ms. Weiser she needed to get control of the dog. The dog was on a
leash and Ms. Weiser did not have control of the leash. Ms. Weiser was approximately
150 feet away talking with a neighbor.
Chair Costantino asked Karen Hahn if she was afraid of dogs, or just Ms. Weiser's dog.
Karen Hahn responded she liked dogs, but she was afraid of this particular dog. Ms.
Weiser's dog had approached Karen several times. It appeared she was approached in
the evenings and Ms. Weiser's dog was protective of Ms. Weiser. For whatever reason,
the dog had come at Karen two different times. Karen Hahn testified she told Ms.
Weiser she was terrified of her dog and if the dog approached her again, she would use
mace on the dog. Ms. Weiser responded if she did, she would be sorry.
Officer Roehrich testified that Ms. Weiser had contacted her when she received service
for the Notice of Hearing. Ms. Weiser had indicated to her that due to her disability,
there are times when she is unable to physically restrain her dog, which is the way the
Leash Law was written. Ms. Weiser indicated to her that it would be impossible due to
her disability. Officer Roehrich felt it was a warning that the incidents could happen
again in the future.
Ms. Marcia Weiser, 3701 Medford Court, stated she did not believe she ever used the
words she was unable to physically restrain her dog. She had mentioned that when she
was eating, teaching or standing somewhere, if the dog is at her side, she was stepping
on the leash. It is because she takes the dog with her wherever she goes. She
disagreed with Officer Roerhich's statement that she stated to her she was unable to
physically restrain the dog. Ms. Weiser stated the dog was under verbal command at
all times and the only individuals who complained about the dog not being under
command were the three witnesses, who appeared to come to every meeting to
persecute her.
There was a discussion about when Ms. Weiser was sitting and eating if she could
physically restrain the dog and on the exact words she used in her discussion with
Officer Roehrich. She requested Officer Roehrich retract her statement. Officer
Roerhich did know know if she used those exact words, but explained having a dog at
her side in a restaurant would be a reasonable accommodation for Ms. Weiser. Having
the dog on common grounds in her neighborhood was a totally different set of
circumstances than a restaurant. Ms. Weiser agreed, but contended she was misstated
by Officer Roerhich.

Ms. Weiser questioned Jennifer Hahn's testimony that she heard the dog bark, when
Ms. Norris testified it growled. Jennifer explained she did not have to use the exact
same words as someone else and she heard the dog bark aggressively. Ms. Weiser
asked why her car was not at the house. Jennifer responded it was and an exchange
between Ms. Weiser, and the Board ensued about staying on track and pertinent
questions. The Board interjected and indicated they were interested in hearing
pertinent testimony; they did not think the location of the car was pertinent. Ms.
Weiser countered it was and reported Ms. Hahn was not present and the incident never
occurred. Ms. Weiser submitted an affidavit from her husband, as Exhibit 1, supporting
Ms. Weiser's statements.
Ms. Weiser wanted to know why Jennifer testified she was at Ms. Norris's home and
why her car was not there. Ms. Weiser explained she was trying to show there would
be a discrepancy in the testimony of the different witnesses. Ms. Cook noted Ms.
Weiser indicated she was in verbal command but the Ordinance reads in "physical
command". She asked if she was in 100%, at all times, in physical command of her
dog. Ms. Weiser responded she was. Ms. Cook asked then why there were three
individuals testifying she was not. Ms. Weiser explained her dog has been on a leash
for over a year. She also asked what other witness Officer Roehrich had and why it
was the same people testifying over and over again. Officer Roehrich responded she
had an email from another witness who was not in town due to his father being ill.
Ms. Weiser explained if someone was giving damaging "evidence" that she deserved an
affidavit to that effect. Attorney Tolces announced there was no evidence introduced
other than by the witnesses, and only the testimony of the witnesses was considered by
the Board. Attorney Tolces announced Ms. Weiser had the right to question the
witnesses present; she submitted her affidavit and argument to the Board and he
suggested she present any other evidence to the Board so the Board could continue
their deliberations.
Ms. Weiser asked, if Karen Hahn was allegedly being attacked, why no body came to
her rescue. Chair Costantino explained the witness never said she was attacked, only
confronted and she was fearful. There was discussion about the number of times Karen
Hahn walked past Ms. Weiser and her dog. Ms. Weiser explained each time the witness
would walk as close as possible to her and the dog who is always well behaved.
Ms. Weiser explained at the prior hearing, there were several old pictures submitted.
She asked what proof the Board had other than the three people testifying, who have
been harassing and persecuting her. Mr. Foot explained the witnesses were testifying
under oath; he was unsure why Ms. Weiser was looking for pictures and thought it was
unlikely the witnesses were following Ms. Weiser around. Ms. Weiser responded the
witnesses sit on their patios with cameras and follow her around with cameras.

The Board summarized they were considering the testimony of three people saying the
incident happened, and the defendant with her dog, who indicated it did not happen
along with an affidavit in support of her statement from another individual.
The Board explained they were only interested in hearing what occurred on May 1,
2007. Ms. Weiser announced she wanted to subpoena some individuals for the matter.
Ms. Weiser announced she would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the individuals
testifying have a conspiracy against her. Attorney Tolces explained if Ms. Weiser wants
to subpoena witnesses, she needed to ask the Board to subpoena them and the Board
would decide whether it was necessary for a witness to be subpoenaed. Ms. Weiser
explained she had a list of individuals she wanted subpoenaed. Attorney Tolces
explained the names needed to be stated on the record and he asked her to state their
names on record. There were no names entered into the record to be subpoenaed.
Subsequently, the Board did not issue any subpoenas and they told Ms. Weiser they
would not.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-72, Ms. Carroll moved that
this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with the Board's Cease and Desist
Order dated March 22, 2007, and having considered the gravity of the violations, the
actions taken by the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the
amount of $200 per day plus administrative costs and the Cease and Desist Order shall
continue in place. Mr. Foot seconded the motion. Mr. Foot noted the hearing was
March 21, 2007 and the date the Order was to become effective was March 22, 2007.
Ms. Weiser indicated she had other witnesses she would like to subpoena. Attorney
Tolces explained there was a motion and a second on the floor. He explained he asked
her three times for the names of witnesses and she did not provide them. Ms. Weiser
responded that was because the Board told her they would not give the subpoenas to
her.
Vote
A vote was taken on the motion and was unanimously passed.
Attorney Tolces advised a lien would be recorded on the property. Ms. Weiser asked if
the lien would be recorded before the fine was paid, and Attorney Tolces explained the
lien would be recorded whether or not she paid.

Peter McCray, Code and Licensing Inspector, presented the case and reviewed the
details of the violations. The deadline to comply was May 9, 2007. He reported the
Respondent was present.
Dennis Hines, 11545 Old Ocean Blvd., Unit D., Registered Agent, pled guilty. He
advised he was the new building contractor and he submitted a building application,
and he met with the applicable City staff on the issue. He requested 90 days to bring
the violations into compliance and advised the issues were a pre-existing condition
when the owner bought the building. Mr. Foot noted the applicant needed a business
tax receipt since 2005, but the business had not been active. When the renovations are
completed, a different business would occupy the space and a business tax receipt
would be applied for. The business was going to be a pool construction company.
Inspector McCray confirmed the comments made by Mr. Hines.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-765, 2nd Vice Chair
Simshauser moved that this Board find that LaBella Properties, LLC, Dennis H. Hines,
Registered Agent, and Dennis Eakin are in violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code
Sections cited and moved to order that the Respondents correct the violations on or
before August 14, 2007. The Board has considered the gravity of the violations, the
actions taken by the Respondents and any previous violations by the Respondents and
hereby orders that if the Respondents do not comply with this order, a fine in the
amount of $50 per day for each day the violation continues past August 14, 2007 plus
administrative costs shall be imposed. The Respondents are further ordered to contact
the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance Division in order to arrange for re-

Officer Cain presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. The sod
issue was dropped due to the drought conditions. The only remaining violation was
painting the house and the trash on the property.
Ventrice Jackson, 1634 NE 2nd Ct, pled no contest and requested one week to
comply and paint the house. She reported she was having a problem with the trash
because she has a corner lot. A "No Littering" or "No Dumping" sign was installed on
the property behind her but individuals were still dumping. Ms. Jackson also advised
she wanted to wait until the rainy weather subsided and then paint. Chair Costantino
suggested 30 days be given for compliance. Ms. Cook also noted the hurricane season
was approaching. Officer Cain had photos he distributed to the Board.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-296, Ms. Carroll moved
that this Board find that Ventrice Jackson is in violation of the City of Boynton Beach
Code Sections cited and moved to order that the Respondent correct the violations on
or before June 15, 2007. The Board has considered the gravity of the violations, 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

used the space for a warehouse to take care of the violation but had not seen a

alleviate the issue, but acknowledged legal action might be needed to correct the
situation.
Mr. Foot questioned how this case tied into the other two cases involving this property
owner. Mr. Greaves clarified one case dealt with site plan maintenance. Ms. Cook
thought since neither the owner or Code Inspector could enter the property, the matter
should be tabled for 60 days. Mr. Greaves explained the tenants lease space there to
store prefab cabinets and other types of stock. Chair Costantino expressed concern the
shelving was substandard and with cabinetry, a serious injury could occur. She
suggested giving 10 days to comply and a hefty fine. Mr. Greaves pointed out if 10
days was given to get into the space, and it needed permitting, he still would not be in
a position to be finished. Chair Costantino explained she was trying to get Officer
Guillaume in the premises and the Board would work together with him to correct the
violation.
Mr. Foot suggested allowing 30 days with a $100 to $250 fine.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-511, Mr. Foot moved that
this Board find that 1420 Holdings is in violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code
Sections cited and moved to order that the Respondent correct the violations on or
before June 15, 2007. The Board has considered the gravity of the violations, 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 per day for each day the violation continues past June 15, 2007 plus
administrative costs shall be imposed. The Respondent is further ordered to contact
the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance Division in order to arrange for re-
inspection of the property to verify compliance with this Order. Ms. Cook seconded the
motion. On vote the motion passed 4-1 (2nd Vice Chair 5imshauser dissenting.)
The Board agreed to hear Case #05-2114 out of order.

present. He advised the violations occurred prior to Hurricane Wilma and everything
was affected. He reported he had difficulties with the tenants which were finally

maintenance. The entire property has been refurbished and he spent over $350K to

rehab it. Officer Cain had photographs he distributed to the Board and he testified the
property was greatly improved and was satisfactory.
The Board noted the Respondent made an effort to comply, in spite of the long period
of time it took to do so. There was a lot of work to be done with trying circumstances
with the tenants, which resulted in eviction proceedings.
Attorney Tolces explained the Board has the authority to certify whatever amount of the
fine it felt was appropriate.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #05-2114, Mr. Foot moved that
this Board find that the Respondent, 1420 Holdings, LLC, was in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code Sections as cited, subsequent to the date of compliance specified
in this Board's Order of December 20, 2006, and in consideration of the gravity of the
violations, the actions taken by the Respondent to remedy the violations, and previous
violations of the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the amount of
$37.50 per day plus administrative costs of $1,090, for a total of 116 days of non-
compliance. Motion died for lack of a second.
Motion
Ms. Carroll stated she would "repeat Mr. Foot's motion, however I would recommend
$2,690.45." Ms. Cook seconded the motion. Ms. Cook asked if that amount included
administrative costs. Ms. Carroll responded it did. The motion unanimously passed.
Mr. Foot indicated the way the motion was set up was it had to be divided out to come
up with a certification as to a fine of so much per day. Ms. Carroll explained she did not
think she had to divide it out she just had to pick a number. Mr. Foot suggested she
start her motion again because he had referred to the number of days and so much per
day.
There was no further discussion taken on this item.

issue a permit to an incorporated entity. Pastor Smith did the work himself and advised
he could not afford to hire a general contractor, but had to. He clarified he was only

the contractor for the work. He explained they tried to work together as long as
possible, but advised eventually, if the issue was not addressed, it would be brought
before the Board. Pastor Smith explained he retained a general contractor, and the
issue was left up to the Board.
Officer Roy testified someone, or a tenant, was living in the church. Pastor Smith
explained he was there 24 hours per day and only him. Officer Roy thought the
remodel was extensive. Pastor Smith explained it was; however, they were just
replacing the damaged items and he attempted to obtain the permit and do the work
honestly.
Attorney Tolces advised the State requires an entity that was incorporated to use a
general contractor, and the City was authorized to revoke the permit when it realized its
error.
There was discussion the Respondent was not at fault, and he followed the proper
procedure; it was a miscommunication. Mr. Blasie understood there were financial
constraints but there was ample time to have some movement.
Motion
Ms. Carroll moved that Case #06-678 be tabled until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on June 20, 2007. Second Vice Chair Simshauser seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.

requested 60 days.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-631, 2nd Vice Chair
Simshauser moved that this Board find that Elioths Dumontois and Irena Charles are in
violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code Sections cited and moved to order that the
Respondents correct the violations on or before July 15, 2007. The Board has
considered the gravity of the violations, the actions taken by the Respondents and any
previous violations by the Respondent and hereby orders that if the Respondents do not
comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of $25 per day for each day the violation
continues past July 15, 2007 plus administrative costs shall be imposed. The
Respondents are further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance

Case #06- 2782
Boynton Flex LLC 3479 High Ridge Rd.
Disaster America of Florida
Peter McCray, Code and Licensing Inspector, presented the request and reviewed the
case history.
Mr. Reuben representing Boynton Flex, LLC and Terry Hus, Senior Project Manager
representing Disaster America were present. Mr. Rubin reported things were
progressing. Inspector McCray reported the outstanding issue was the mezzanine
remodel. A short discussion ensued about whether proof of having a permit was
considered compliance and it was not. Inspector McCray advised the Respondents
were still in the process of having the permit issued. There were comments that had to
be addressed.
Ms. Cook explained the Respondents were cited and asked to provide proof of
permitting, which they did. Inspector McCray explained the permit was applied for as
the result of being cited. Final inspections still needed to occur on the completed work.
Ms. Cook thought it would be prudent to cite them for inspections and proof of
permitting. She requested better clarification of the issues in the future.
Officer McCray explained the contractor's understanding when the comments were
issued, was that some issues had passed, and others had to be resubmitted. The
architect and engineer missed items and kicked them back. There were still revisions
needed in blueprints, and the permit had not been issued. Once the permit was issued,
the case would be closed. Mr. Hus advised he believed there was a permit on the job.

unanimously passed.
Case #06-1839
Chackman Motels Inc.
706 W. Boynton
Beach Blvd.
Officer Cain presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. He explained
the Respondent complied as of May 9, 2007, having 220 days of non-compliance.
Leonard Chackman, 17914 Lake Estates Drive, Boca Raton, owner and operator of
Gateway Shopping Center was present. He indicated much of the work was ongoing
and he did not realize there was a landscaping problem. Originally it was thought to be
minor but it was not and they requested extensions. The work was completed and they
were compliant, but they did not realize the amount of effort needed. He explained he
was happy they were done, and requested whatever consideration could be given.
Ms. Cook expressed concern why no one appeared. Mr. Chack explained since the work
was ongoing, he thought that was compliance, but it took about two months for the
landscaping to be completed at a tremendous cost. Finally the work was finished.
Officer Cain pointed out the general contractor, Scott Collier, for the project had
appeared.
Mr. Foot explained the total cost was about $56K, and was intended to catch the
owner's attention. He suggested recovering about 25% of those costs, which was
about $14K. Ms. Carroll thought the Respondent made the effort and suggested
recovering $1,000 over the administrative costs. Mr. Foot disagreed and elaborated if
an example was not set, the hearings would not deter any future violations. Further
discussion followed that the Board was cognizant of the types of repairs needed and the
time spent to comply was a long time. Ms. Cook indicated she would not consider less
than $5K, all fees included.
Officer Cain asked the Board to remember with the parking lot and landscaping
violations, there were other liens on the property.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-1839, Ms. Cook moved that
this Board find that the Respondent, Chackman Motels, Inc., was in violation of the City
of Boynton Beach Code Sections as cited, subsequent to the date of compliance
specified in this Board's Order of September 20, 2006, and in consideration of the
gravity of the violations, the actions taken by the Respondent to remedy the violations,

and previous violations of the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine in
the amount of $5,000 inclusive of all administrative costs, for a total of 220 days of
non-compliance. Mr. Foot seconded the motion that passed 4-2 (Ms. Carroll and Mr.
Moyer dissenting.)
Case # 06-1915
Antoine Celestin and
Christine Joseph
432 NE 22nd Avenue
Code Officer Lewis presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations.
Laura Celestin, 2420 NE Second Court, explained this was her father's house. She
announced they obtained a contractor for the windows and the permit application was
submitted. They received comments and need architects to redraw the inside of the
dwelling before they could do anything with the garage.
Ms. Cook noted there was an $llK fine accruing. Ms. Celestin was aware of that fact
and advised they were just waiting for the architect and as soon as they could get a
contractor they would start the job. Officer Lewis explained there was nothing applied
for as of today and he could not allow the issue to continue to be tabled. The
Respondents could always apply for a lien reduction later. Ms. Celestin explained they
now had the funds to do the job. They were just waiting for the permit and signed an
agreement with the contractor.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-1915, Mr. Moyer moved
that this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with this Board's Order dated
September 20, 2006, and having considered the gravity of the violations, the actions
taken by the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the amount of
$50 per day plus administrative costs which shall continue to accrue until the
Respondent comes into compliance or until a judgment is entered based upon this
certification of fine. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion that unanimously passed.

Case #06-1536
Dorothy R. Donlon, Est.
634 SW 1st Court
Officer Cain presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. He
announced the Respondent was present.
Gayle Shaia, 3864 Quentin Avenue, Boynton, representing the Donlon Estate was
present. She explained her parents bought the house in 1959, and were the first
owners in Lake Boynton Estates. Her mother died and Hurricane Francis hit, followed by
Hurricane Jean and as a result, trees came down on the property. Ms. Shaia explained
17
Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
May 16, 2007
when she received the notice, she fixed the shutters and painted the house. All the
money went to remove the downed trees from the street. Ms. Shier reported she was
selling the house and received notice again. She contacted Mr. Blasie to have the new
owner meet with the officer about the issue, but the owner backed out. After the
hurricane, housing prices dropped. Her parents owned two lots, one of them being
vacant. She advised they now had a second owner interested in purchasing the
property and she contacted Officer Lewis. She was unaware she would have to go
through the probate system. She finally found the deed and explained she was trying
to maintain the house in a clean, and neat condition. The roof was supposedly
repaired, but once trees were removed, it was discovered it was not.
(Second Vice Chair Simshauser returned to the dais at 9:14 p.m.)
A new owner will take possession of the home in 60 days. She reported some of her
mother's belongings were robbed and there was a second loan on the house. She
advised she had a signed contract to sell the property, but it was not currently on her
person.
A discussion ensued about the obligations of the estate and starting the process all
over. It was noted the fine was $3,600, which could be certified. The new owner could
request a reduction citing mitigating circumstances.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-1536, Ms. Cook moved
that this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with this Board's Order dated
December 20, 2006, and having considered the gravity of the violations, the actions
taken by the Respondents, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the amount of
$50 per day plus administrative costs which shall continue to accrue until the
Respondent comes into compliance or until a judgment is entered based upon this
certification of fine. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
There was another case involving the same Respondent.

Dorothy R. Donlon, Est.
634 SW 1st Court
Officer Lewis presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. He
announced he had a separate case just to repair or replace the driveway. The
Respondent was present and she indicated she was unsure what the difference was
between this case and the prior case. It was explained the first case dealt with debris,
painting the house, fascia boards, and this case dealt with just the driveway.
Gayle Shaia, 3864 Quentin Avenue, Boynton Beach, representing the Donlon Estate
was present.

the roof is now in compliance but some violations were still outstanding and he last
visited the property on Tuesday. The Respondent, Mr. Schultz was present.
Karl Schultz, 192 Parr Drive, Royal Palm Beach was present. He indicated the
occupational license was not granted because the tenant would not let him in and the
premises could not be inspected. That was the only remaining violation. Officer Cain
explained they met with the police and there would be a meeting with an attorney for
the tenants who would let the parties in.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that Case #06-3118 be tabled until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on June 20, 2007. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion that

the Respondent was present. Officer Lewis explained the case came in as a complaint.
Dale Vander Plug, Olen Properties, 1062 Coral Ridge Dr., Coral Ridge, was authorized
to speak on behalf of his partners. He explained there was an error on the filing
address for the corporation and the notice went to the wrong location. He became
aware of the violation at the end of April and addressed it right away. The property has
become the dumping ground for the area.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-251, Mr. Foot moved that this

violations. He explained this case was originally sited on September 26, 2001, due to a
Red Tag issued on September 13, 2001. He had two photos he showed to the Board.
The Respondent was present. Service for the December 19, 2001 hearing was made
via hand delivery.
Rose Exantus, 738 SW 1st Avenue, viewed the photos. Her nephew, Samuel Preveau,
1417 W. Tremos Street, Lantana translated for her. Ms. Exantus indicated her husband
put up the wall, but he got sick and passed away. The City said to take the wall down
and she paid someone to take it down. She did not know she had to appear. After the
wall was taken down, the City sent a note to call to arrange pickup for the debris, which
she did. It was explained to Ms. Exantus that she still had to contact Code Enforcement
to close the case. The Board complimented her and commented the property was very
attractive.
There was a short discussion about the reduction amount.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #01-2563, Ms. Cook moved that

Case #04-2201
Monica Robinson
161 NE 17th Court
Mr. Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. He explained
compliance was documented on May 3, 2007; however, this case had extenuating
circumstances. He distributed photographs to the Board and noted the Respondent
maintains a nice property. The Respondents got a good deal on concrete and a small
slab was poured adjacent to the driveway and a sidewalk, but they did not have a
permit. The property was Red Tagged by the Building Department and the matter was
forwarded to Code Enforcement.
Mr. Blasie indicated when she arrived to make application for the permit, the inspector
indicated he had seen the work and would sign off on it. The inspector did not definitely
recall making the statement but agreed it could have been said. Ms. Robinson had not
called for an inspection so the property did not actually comply. Since the case was
neither affirmed or denied, it was recommended it be removed from the books.
Monica Robinson, 161 NE 17th Court agreed with the comments made.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #04-2201, and having been
advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction procedures set forth in
Section 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 #04-2201, by virtue of this

Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
May 16, 2007
Mr. Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. The case
originated August 9, 1996 and was cited for sod. He had photos he distributed to the
Board, two of them taken on May 16, 2007, one dated February 14th and a fourth
photo taken October i5, 1996.
Gene Mitchell, 2483 SW Old Wire Road, Lake City Florida was present, as was Rev.
E. J. Maddox, 614 NW 5th Street, Boynton Beach. Mr. Blasie reviewed the photos
with them. Chair Costantino expressed concern that no one appeared regarding the
sod violation.
Rev. Maddox explained they had several appearances here. When he became pastor in
2000, he inherited several problems and they complied as fast as they could. The grass
and sod issue arose in 1996 because the original parking lot was shell rock and grass
was growing up through the shell rock. They were told no vegetation could grow in the
parking area, and that was the initial violation. Then they were told to put shell rock
there, which they did. The parking lot violation came in 2000. Mr. Mitchell explained
the mail was going to the previous overseer in Miami, who was elderly. They believe
someone else was receiving the mail and signing for it, but they were not getting it. He
explained the finances were an issue, the area was blighted and the building was no
longer occupied.
Mr. Blasie confirmed the mail was going to the incorrect address in Miami. He advised
the representative had worked with the City in different areas and they have been
supportive of the City and the community over the years.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #96-4225, and having been
advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction procedures set forth in
Section 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 #96-4225, by virtue of this
Board's Order of October 16, 1996, to an amount of $250 including administrative
costs. Second Vice Chair Simshauser seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Case #00-611
The Triumph Church and
Kingdom of God in Christ
111 NW 10th Ave.
Mr. Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. The case
originated in March 23, 2000 for the parking, hedges, trash and debris. He reported
Rev. Maddox did appear. He distributed photos to the Board taken in 2001 and 2005,
when they complied. He explained the photos clearly showed the scope of work that
needed to take place to comply.

Case #04-443
Gary J. Bataille
1498 NW 1st St.
Code Compliance Administrator Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details of
the violations. He explained the case was Red Tagged. The case was originally sited on
March 9, 2004. Compliance was documented. Mr. Blasie explained Mr. Bataille
immediately addressed the issue when it occurred and started working on the
permitting. Mr. Blasie had photographs he showed to the Board.
Mr. Bataille provided a summary of events and explained he and his brother took the
contractors exam and when he passed, he did the work. Chair Costantino asked how he
learned about the lien. Mr. Bataille explained he received a letter advising him about
the matter. Ms. Cook did not feel it should have taken two years. Mr. Blasie explained
the permit was final on 10-17-06 and advised the Board he had a list of repairs.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #04-443, and having been advised

Mr. Foot thought the amount should be $1,300 in order for the City to be reimbursed
for its inspection costs.
Vote
There was a vote on the motion that passed 4-2, (Mr. Moyer and Mr. Foot dissenting.)
Code Compliance Admoinistrator Blasie noted Cases #03-3114 and #03-2692 had
violations that were almost identical. He thought the Board should dismiss, or certify
the Case #03-3114 for no fine. He explained these cases were initiated within two
months of one another for basically the same violation. The mix-up occurred when the
Police Department went there with a warrant and called out Code Enforcement and no
one checked on the issue. He requested using the standard reduction procedure for
Case #03-2692 and bear in mind the remaining case would really be moot. He advised
the Respondent was compliant.
Case #03-2692
Grady L. Frederick
1413 N. Sea crest Blvd.
Mr. Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. He inspected
the property, both inside and out, and advised all violations were repaired. The issues
documented by the Police were corrected.
Grady Frederick, 1413 N. Seacrest Blvd, Boynton Beach, was present and explained
the property was fixed a year ago. He did not know he had to come before the Board
to close the matter. When he did realize the matter, he had to go to the hospital for
surgery. When he came out of the hospital, he contacted Code Enforcement and
obtained a permit for the awnings, and had them final the home. Mr. Frederick
reported he resides at the dwelling and the matter arose when his daughter and her
aunt had been selling drugs outside and got caught. Ms. Cook noted the condition of
the house was deplorable at that time. Mr. Frederick agreed, but commented he would
not let the house return to that condition.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #03-2692, and having been
advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction procedures set forth in
Section 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 #03-2692, by virtue of this
