investment properties in the area. The violation still exists, but after Hurricane Wilma,
they lost the use of the property for a few years and it was not habitable. He cannot get

other properties he has unless he paid the retroactive fee for the past three or four

Property Address:
Violation( 5):
Skip Lewis, Senior Code Compliance Officer, explained this was a citizen complaint
and the initial inspection date was August 20, 2008.
Mr. Karageorge recused himself from the case, due to the appearance of any

involving friends.
Colleen Brennan, Property Manager, Quantum Lakes Villas, was present with Hector
Pastrada, Maintenance Supervisor for the property for the same location. Ms. Brennan
pled not guilty.
Officer Lewis explained normally he would not bring this type of case to the Board, but
he had been trying to obtain compliance. He has been to the site numerous times and
they have had numerous complaints. He has photographs that showed the violation
and he encouraged the Respondents to ensure they had the water system programmed
for the correct days and watering times. He was assured they were the correct times.
When he would arrive to verify a complaint, he would see there was water on and the
Respondents would advise him they did not know how that happened. This same
situation had been occurring even before the case arose.
Officer Lewis wrote a notice to correct and came back to give a citation and was told he
needed pictures of the violation. He obtained the photos and then was told they were
testing the system and that they put the flags out when they were testing. Officer Lewis
advised there was no evidence of testing.
Officer Lewis distributed photographs to the Respondents and the Board. Two of the
photos were taking on Monday, August 11, 2008 at 7:35 a.m. and one was from

September 17, 2008
Ms. Brennan explained Quantum Lakes Villas was a large apartment complex with
three irrigation systems which involve over 100 zones. There were odd and even
addresses. She explained having both even and odd addresses, the South Florida
Water Management District allows them to water during both time frames. She
explained one of the photos shown was from a brand new apartment
complex/commercial development area on Gateway Boulevard and it has brand new
plantings. She explained the South Florida Water Management District permits
watering for 30 days for new plantings. She explained because of those issues, there
are reasons to test, and they put the flags out when they test. She explained they tried
to come into compliance as best they could. There are cases of one individual
repeatedly calling the Police Department anonymously. In the rental business there will
always be disgruntled individuals and they have a citizen that is tampering with their
system. She explained on Monday, their pump box was pried open and broken so they
could not water. They padlocked and chained the timers and she admitted there could
be an occasion when they made a mistake with the time because it was confusing.
She advised they took the proper steps to comply. They also had a video of this from
one of the Boynton Beach Police Officers showing them padlocking and chaining the
box. She had photos of the broken box and the police report narrative. They have
never had this occur and they were trying to address the issue.
Officer Lewis explained he was out to the property at least four or five times. He would
contact them by phone if a complaint was received. After the last incident, an individual
by the name of Dale indicated he looked at the clock and it set for Wednesday and
Saturday. Officer Roy went there and took photographs and was advised someone
must have tampered with them.
Since Ms. Brennan locked the box, they had no problems, but then the pump was
broken. There have been approximately 24 to 26 complaints. The City was requesting
a Cease and Desist Order. As long as they complied, there would be no issue.
Attorney Tolces explained there were two issues. A Cease and Desist Order would be
appropriate for violations that would occur in the future. The second issue is under the
City's Code the maximum fine the City could impose for a first violation is $25.
Subsequent violations could have a maximum fine not to exceed $500.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, explained the Cease and Desist Order
to the Respondents.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #08-2410, Mr. Yerzy moved
that a Cease and Desist Order be issued giving Quantum Lakes Villas II Corp. Villas at
Quantum Lakes Inc., until September 18, 2008 to bring the violations of City of Boynton
Beach Code sections as cited into compliance. The Board has considered the gravity of

the violations, the actions taken by the Respondents, and any previous violations by the

Property Address:
Violation(s):
Marie F. Lane
418 NW 13th Avenue

Secure property.
Officer Roy presented the case and reviewed the details of the violation. The initial
inspection date was June 23, 2008. Written notice was issued giving 10 days to
comply. The property was posted on August 27, 2008. He spoke with the Respondent
and legal counsel about the violations. It is a health and safety violation. The City was
recommending 10 days. A representative from the Bank was present.
Karen Black, from the Law Office of David Stern, 900 South Palm Island Road,
Plantation, was present representing the bank as they have an interest in the property.
The property was in foreclosure. An actual case has been filed and was pending, but it
was not concluded, and a Certificate of Title has not yet been obtained by the bank. A
lis pendens has been filed.
Attorney Tolces explained the members could make a finding of violation and enter an
order but the City could not actually certify or record a lien that would affect the property
because of the lis pendens filed. The finding of a violation would; however, put any
subsequent purchasers on notice that there is a violation in existence on the property.
Ms. Black explained the bank understands that the property has to be brought into
compliance upon purchase if they hold Certificate of Title. The bank filed a motion to
intervene to secure the property and maintain the outside, but the order has not been
received back yet. No plea was required.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #08-1734, Mr. Himmelbaum
moved that this Board find that Marie F. Lane is in violation of the City of Boynton Beach
Code section cited and moved to Order that the Respondent correct the violation on or
before September 27, 2008. 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 $50 per day for each day the violation continues past September 27, 2008
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. Mr. Yerzy seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
