would be heard. Written notice was sent via regular mail on November 27, 2010
providing for 10 days to correct the violation. Certified mail was sent December 12,

Mr. Guavin Kanhai
, 13783 Exotica Lane, Wellington, pled not guilty. Officer Webb
explained there were numerous complaints about the Tiki Tavern being too loud. Police
responded several times and issued a report.
The police records and photographs reflected the tavern was set up for a nightclub.
Officer Webb had 16 pages of information from the Police Department and he showed
the Respondent photographs and apprised the Board he had visited the premises since
November and there was no change. He clarified he met with Mr. Kanhai and
recommended he meet with Planning and Zoning to settle the Business Tax Receipt
classification issue and to meet with the Chief of Police since he felt he was being
harassed. No meeting had been held with the Chief to-date. The zoning district the
restaurant was in was zoned for a nightclub, but the Business Tax Receipt listed it as a
restaurant and that was where the problem arose. The establishment has been open
for 23 years. At one time, the establishment was registered as a sports bar.

Boynton Beach, FL December 15, 2010
Mr. Kanhai explained he came to Boynton Beach as an investor. He visited Officer
Webb several times. The establishment is a bar and there were occasions when the
Police had to respond but Mr. Kanhai asserted the Police came unnecessarily (due to
their “agenda” and they harassed him.) When the Police Department harassed him,
they were plugging in a set from a band that he employed. Since that time, he has
never brought in a band. The photograph from Officer Webb was of a band set that was
not assembled. Mr. Kanhai explained that Officer Webb advised him that the Police
Chief wanted him to remove the stage.
Mr. Webb announced his statement to Mr. Kanhai was if he felt he was being harassed,
he should meet with the Chief. The Chief never requested the stage be removed. Mr.
Kanhai operates a restaurant/bar providing 51% food and 49% bar and the Business
Tax Receipt was supposed to reflect it as such. Officer Webb showed the Respondent
documentation. Mr. Brake explained the documents needed to be amended. It was
noted Mr. Kanhai had not yet spoken with Planning and Zoning.
Mr. Brake commented the establishment was open for 57 years and inquired when it
changed and why. Mr. Kanhai explained since he moved in, he was pretty sure when
he applied for the Business Tax Receipt it said bar/restaurant. He did not want a
nightclub. He wanted the establishment to continue as it has for 57 years.
Mr. Karageorge explained a stage was typical of a nightclub and it could be remedied
timely. Officer Webb circulated a copy of the current Business Tax Receipt. The 16
pages of Police reports were for various causes: one was for a fight, another for theft,
fraud, trespass, etc. The owners requested extra patrols on some of the incidents but
most were for noise disturbances.
Mr. Kanhai also hired security on occasion and explained some restaurants have
security but usually it is event related. On weekends he hires security.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Brake moved that this Board find that Bob Katz Prop. Inc. 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 December 30, 2010. 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 violations continue past
December 30, 2010 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.
Karageorge seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
A Cease and Desist order had been considered but was not used.
