Case No. 08-3379
Forum Shoppes
140 N. Congress Avenue
Skip Lewis, Senior Code Compliance Officer, presented the case. The violation date
was November 23,2008, The Respondent was to restore the site with the most recently
approved landscape plan on file with the City. Attorney Dan Mandell had appeared on
behalf of the Respondent. A fine of $250 was imposed for the violation if it continued
past January 15, 2010. The violation still exists.
Dan Mandell, 2700 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton, a co-manager of the property and an
attorney explained they property was still not in compliance. When he originally
appeared, he requested 18 months to cure the violations and the Board authorized six
months. They paid the 2008 real estate taxes in the amount of $113,278.81 in
November. In December their loan matured and they paid $54,419.25 for a two year
extension on that loan. Two weeks ago, they paid the 2009 real estate taxes in the
amount of $138,409.80. During this time they addressed the health and safety issues.
Mr. Mandell explained to the Board they made tenant concessions and they had only
one tenant paying regularly.
Now that the major expenses were covered, the Respondent would like six months to
address the other outstanding issues. Funds were no longer earmarked for the lender
or taxes and they could make a realistic commitment to comply within the six months.
They received bids to restripe and reseal. The landscaping improvements would be last
due to the cost. It was suggested the Respondent and Officer Lewis walk the property
and develop a timetable.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that the aforementioned case be tabled until the Code Compliance
Board meeting to be held on August 18, 2010. Mr. LaTour seconded the motion.

Case #06-873
Peble Florida LLC
907 N. Federal Hgwy.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, presented the Lien Reduction. The
property was cited in 2006 for a dilapidated and abandoned sign structure. The case
was heard by the Board on September 20, 2006. No one appeared and the date and
fine set was to comply by September 30, 2006 or incur a fine of $100 per day.
Compliance was documented on May 11, 2007. Two current photographs were
circulated to the members, as was a photograph taken on October 2, 2006 showing the
sign.
Michael Weiner, Attorney for Peble LLC, explained the violations were cosmetic in
nature due to the property being vacant. The property was recently sold and the new
owner was renovating it. The new owner planned to use the property as an automotive
museum; however, his health declined and the owner eventually died. Representatives
of the estate then began to address the issues and finalized a sale to another buyer.
The sign was removed, the grass was mowed and there was attention given to the
building. An affidavit of compliance was made. He apologized the violations were not
immediately addressed and requested the fines be reduced to administrative costs.
Mr. Blasie offered his comments to the Board. The property was previously purchased
by Mr. Giacomino. During his ownership, he incurred numerous violations for alterations
primarily to the interior of the premises. Mr. Giacomino's health declined and the
property was sold to Peble Florida LLC about the time the Board would file a lien on the
property. Peble Florida LLC took over the premises and met with the Planning and
Zoning Department. There were unusual constraints on the building and the upstairs
was used as a residence. The property is situated on Federal Highway, in a
redevelopment area. It was thought the building would be used for a furniture store but
it was not verified.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, 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. Karageorge moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in the aforementioned

case by virtue of this Board's Order of September 20, 2006, to an amount of $1,018.24,
including administrative costs. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion.
There was discussion that the property was located on Federal Highway and it may not
be fair to overlook how many people had to view the site and individuals whose property
values were affected. A fine of at least $5,000 with administrative costs was suggested.
It was noted the property owner did not cause the violations. It was also noted there
was a hardship due to health that prohibited the owner from taking action.
Vote
The motion passed 5-1 (Mr. Foot dissenting.)

contained in the staff report. The case arose from a citizen complaint. The initial
inspection was February 2, 2007. The case was tabled, and the Respondent worked
with staff. They have a tenant and would like additional time.
Jim Klinker, 2731 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, explained since he last met with
staff, he met with the City Forrester, Kevin Hallahan, and a verbal agreement to move
forward was reached. They would be meeting next week to put together a written plan.
Mr. Klinker pled no contest and explained they have a letter of intent. He requested the
case be tabled for 90 days, as they were working with a tenant wanting to move into the
location within that timeframe.
Officer Herring advised the Respondent was working well with staff. The property was
cleaned up, and the graffiti would be addressed within the next few days. The
Respondent was also desirous of putting together a timetable. The sprinkler system
was repaired and the heads were replaced. The smaller improvements alone cost
$3,000. The only outstanding violations were the landscape plan and minor grafitti
removal.

explained the rough inspections were done, but there was a financial hardship. He was
an owner/builder and hoped to finish the repairs by the end of July.

explained all that was needed was to pay a $50 extension fee which would grant him
another 90 days. He had a list of inspections that were required and was willing to meet

Case #09-3748
Location:
Violation(s):
Brownstone Management LLC
1500 SW 30th Avenue 1
BBA FBC '07 ED. 105.1
Permit required for rack system
installed in Bays 1 and 2. Red
Tagged.
Officer Lewis presented the case. The initial inspection date was December 9, 2009.
The property was posted on February 4, 2010.
Jamey Shook, 1500 SW 30th Avenue, Suite 1, the tenant, who was authorized to
speak on behalf of Brownstone Management LLC, pled no contest. Mr. Shook
explained he was in the building about five years and moved from Bay 12 to Bays 13,
14, and 15. Due to the economy, he downsized to Bays 1 and 2. During this time, he
owned the same rack system, and moved them with him. Each time he passed a fire
inspection and a City of Boynton Beach Inspection. When they moved, they updated
their address with the City. Mr. Shook explained they moved in January of last year, but
the inspection occurred in December of 2009, almost a year later, when they had the
racks reinstalled without a permit. A rack company installed the racks based on the
weights they needed to support. The racks were Home Depot style racks and the
installer indicated a permit was never required. The violation appeared to center around
the racks being above eight feet and the racks were adjustable. Safety was their
priority, and monthly safety meetings are held. Photographs, specifications and bolt
patterns for the racks were available. When they were told to obtain a permit, they
started the procedure but were advised they needed engineering plans for the slab and
other items. Mr. Shook explained he was confused why these items were necessary
after being in business for five years.
Mr. Icaro explained he writes up the rack systems and permits are requested for racks
over eight feet, due to safety concerns and to ensure the racks do not block the fire
sprinklers. As to the engineering slabs, a public record could be obtained regarding the
building specifications.
Mr. Shook took exception to the permit requirement and explained he had not failed any
fire inspections. The checklist contained 13 items the Respondent needed, including
engineering, architectural drawings, specifications on the racks and the specifications
for the bolt patterns. Photographs of the interior were taken, and Mr. Shook contended
he was not constructing a building. The Board noted the racks could be adjusted to a

lower height and be in compliance; however, space was an issue. Mr. Icaro felt 60 days
would be sufficient to comply and he explained to Mr. Shook exactly what needed to be
done.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr. Foot
moved that this Board find that Brownstone Management LLC 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 April 18, 2010. 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 $100 per day for each day the violation continues past April 18,
2010 plus administrative costs shall be imposed. The Respondent is further ordered to

approaching, and the adjuster for Citizens Insurance did not arrive until just after the
holidays. A check was sent for settlement two weeks ago; however, the settlement was
not adequate to cover the repairs. A public adjuster was hired, and Citizens hired a new
adjuster on their behalf. The adjusters were scheduled to meet this week and a
