Old Business None. E. New Business Applicant: Victor Andres Sasson, Managing Member, Jason Mankoff, Applicant Representative Reference: CrossFit Boynton Beach LLC Explanation: Applicant is appealing Section 108.5 of the City of Boynton Beach Amendments to the 2007 Florida Building Code, Permit Penalty Fee Waiver and is 1 Meeting Minutes Building Board and Adjustment and Appeals Boynton Beach, FL June 2, 2011 requesting appeal of the denial of Permit Penalty Fee Waiver application of January 19, 2011. This request is to reduce to a reasonable amount the penalty fee of $9,413.67. Kark Swierzko, Chief Field Inspector, presented the case and explained on November 1, 2010 a permit application was submitted for an interior buildout for CrossFit at 975 Gateway Boulevard. On November 17, 2011, the Building Department issued a stop work order, contained in Exhibit B. The contractor of record, John Kay of Polo Construction, called Mr. Swierzko at approximately 4:21 p.m. and apologized. He assured Mr. Swierzko he stopped construction and that he had made a bad decision to start without the permit. He admitted the tenant was anxious for the work to begin prior to the permit approval and Mr. Kay agreed if he got caught, the business owner would be responsible for additional fees. On December 6, 2010, the building mechanical, electrical and plumbing permits were issued. On January 13, 2011, the project received the Certificate of Occupancy. On January 19, 2011, the penalty waiver was submitted by Mr. Kay. Mr. Swierzko met with him and Andrew Mack, the Interim Building Official, and Mr. Kay reiterated he made a bad decision, but the tenant wanted him to proceed with the waiver process. Mr. Swierzko referenced Exhibit E, Item H and commented that was not part of the document. It was hand written by the applicant. Mr. Mack advised Mr. Kay that he did not qualify for relief based on the information and the request was denied. Mr. Guritzky inquired how long it took from when the work started to when the permit was approved. Mr. Swierzko responded there were 19 business days between application and issuance of the permit. The photographs were taken on the 17th, two days prior to the permit being issued. Chair Bessell inquired why the Board was hearing the appeal if that was not one of the prerequisites for an appeal. Mr. Swierzko responded State Statute and City Ordinance required it. Chair Bessell inquired why the Board was only penalizing the general contractor and not the other trades that also started work without permits as per the pictures. He noted there was plumbing, electrical, mechanical and perhaps fire sprinkler work done. Mr. Swierzko responded the penalty wass for the work that commenced and the permit encompassed all the trades for the project. 2 Meeting Minutes Building Board and Adjustment and Appeals Boynton Beach, FL June 2, 2011 Brief discussion ensued if the plumbing contractor applied for a separate permit, there would have been a fee. The plumber would have been fined triple fees, the same as the contractor. Similarly, the same would have applied to the electrical and mechanical work, which was completed, but only the general contractor was being penalized, and he was not appealing the fine. The fine was paid by the tenant, and it was thought there was a question of standing, because the violation was from the contractor, but the tenant was asking for the waiver. Ms. Agee inquired how the penalty amount was determined. It was learned the penalty was set by City Ordinance and the Boynton Beach Administrative Amendments to the Building Code. It was the standard amount. She asked if the Board, in the past, had waived the violation fees. Mr. Swierzko responded, in his five years with the City, the Board had never waived an appeal of the Building Official's decision. Chair Bessell questioned why the contractor did not pick up the phone and ask if he could start. He also had the breakdown of the costs and noted there was profit listed. He did not understand why the tenant was appealing the fine. Jason Mankoff, the applicant's representative, 19071 Fox Landing Drive, Boca Raton, was administered the oath. Mr. Mankoff confirmed CrossFit was appealing because they paid the fine. The contractor was flagged and was told to proceed, pay the fee and get the permit. The tenant paid the fine so they could open by December and start marketing for the January rush. As to the waiver application, the contractor was recommended to the tenants because he was good. Not knowing about permits or construction, the tenant said do what you have to do to open. The application, under Item 3.F, specifies that the applicant is an individual who just recently relocated in Boynton and does not have knowledge of Building Code requirements. Mr. Mankoff asserted the owners are not builders. Mr. Mankoff reviewed a brochure he prepared which extolled the history and value of CrossFit. He expressed there is a bit of cache to have CrossFit, symbolizing health, working out and other good things, in Boynton Beach. The facility provides good publicity for the City. The tenants were seeking a refund or at a least partial refund because $10,000 is a lot of money. They have not spent much money on marketing because the fee was paid with the marketing money. Mr. Shores wished them success, but explained the Board's job is to determine if there is a violation, if it was handled properly, and if the penalty was fair. He thought Mr. Mankoff was requesting the Board make a decision on a contract dispute. The contractor was not present opposing the fee and Mr. Shores felt that it was a small claims matter. Mr. Mankoff responded it was not and explained he sat on the Boca Board of Adjustments. He contended the tenant falls under Section F. He reiterated an individual 3 Meeting Minutes Building Board and Adjustment and Appeals Boynton Beach, FL June 2, 2011 could be defined as an entity that relocated to an area and possessed no knowledge of the Building requirements. They relied on the contractor. It was not a small claims matter because the tenant paid the fee. The tenant and contractor issue was not pertinent. Item F would never be applicable to a contractor and was to protect individuals and give them the opportunity to state their case. Ms. Agee was concerned about the two owners starting the business without knowing about permits. She inquired if they owned homes or lived anywhere in the world that did not require permits. She thought it was unimaginable they would have no knowledge. She did not know how they could start a business without recognizing they have a responsibility and thought the contractor must have told them about the need for permits. Mr. Mankoff contended 95% of the population does not know about permits. People purchase homes or have remodels done and just pay for them. They do not know about going to the municipality and filing for permits. Most business owners that are not in building construction or development trades are unaware of the requirement. Many of them are single-shop owners moving into a space or renovating and they do not know about these things until a problem arises. Mr. Boggess commented when the tenants signed the lease there is some kind of a term in it and/or documentation about acceptance of the space and an allowance is given for a buildout. There should be documents and then an understanding that permits would have been required. The tenant has to accept the space as is and would know full well there are requirements. Mr. Mankoff explained the site was in an existing shopping center and permits would be required for interior buildouts. The tenants hired a contractor to do that and most small business tenants do not read every page of a 20- page lease. He further asserted if it said it is the tenant's responsibility to get the permits, they think it is the responsibility of the contractor to obtain them. Mr. Shores explained it is a dispute between the tenants and contractor not the Board. It should be remedied by those two parties. Mr. Mankoff respectfully disagreed because of Section F and commented he has been at other fee reductions. In Delray Beach, reductions are heard by the City Commission. Most municipalities have provisions to appeal and say this is what happened, fine us, but not the entire amount. Mr. Guritzky felt there were contradictions. When he read the documents, the tenants, who may not be business savvy, said to the contractor we want to get going, and if it is before the permits are issued, we will handle it. He asserted they were aware of it. Ms. Agee agreed and expressed Mr. Mankoff had not provided proof that they recently relocated and did not know the area, Building Codes and had no knowledge of them. Chair Bessell noted the applicant was aware of it when they hired the contractor and they relied on the contractor. They knew enough to hire a contractor. He asked Mr. 4 Meeting Minutes Building Board and Adjustment and Appeals Boynton Beach, FL June 2, 2011 Swierzko if a formal complaint was filed against Mr. Kay of Polo Construction, what the strictest penalty as a State license holder was. Mr. Swierzko responded it depended on any previous violations, which are public record. He thought there was a strict penalty, maybe around $1,000. Chair Bessell thought Mr. Kay, the contractor, should assume some of this responsibility because the owners did hire him and further commented the Board members were in agreement that something was not quite right. The work was done between the tenant and contractor. The contractor was responsible. That was why he wanted to know why all the subcontractors were not fined. They all did work without a permit. Mr. Swierzko commented the penalty fees assessed were a result of the contractor's negligence, not the tenants. By Ordinance, the penalty goes against the contractor and the contractor previously made the request, which was denied. Mr. Rurey pointed out the tenant had the option of not paying the final retainage, or payment, until those issues were resolved. Mr. Guritzky commented the issue was not a Board issue. Chair Bessell asked for a motion to approve or disapprove the appeal. Motion Mr. Rurey moved the Board not approve the appeal and the fine stand as stated. Mr. Shores seconded the motion. The Recording Secretary called the roll. The motion unanimously passed. Chair Bessell clarified the vote was to deny the appeal. F. Announcements None.

To qualify for exemption under this paragraph, an owner must personally appear and sign the building permit application. The permitting agency shall provide the person with a disclosure statement in substantially the following form: Disc/osure Statement: State law requires asbestos abatement to be done by licensed contractors. You have applied for a permit under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you, as the owner of your property, to act as your own asbestos abatement contractor even though you do not have a license. You must supervise the construction yourself. You may move, remove or dispose of asbestos-containing materials on a residential building where you occupy the building and the building is not for sale or lease, or the building is a farm outbuilding on your property. If you sell or lease such building within one year after the asbestos abatement is complete, the law will presume that you intended to sell or lease the property at the time the work was done, which is a violation of this exemption. You may not hire an unlicensed person as your contractor. Your work must be done according to all local, state and federal laws and regulations, which apply to asbestos abatement projects. It is your responsibility to make sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. 105.4 Conditions of the permit. 105.4.1 Permit intent. A permit issued shall be constructed to be a license to proceed with the work and not as authority to violate, cancel, alter or set aside any of the provisions of the technical codes, nor shall issuance of a permit prevent the building official from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans, construction or violations of this code. Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work authorized by such permit is commenced within 6 months after its issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of six months after the time the work is commenced. 105.4.1.1 If work has commenced and the permit is revoked, becomes null and void, or expires because of lack of progress or abandonment, a new permit covering the 22 proposed construction shall be obtained before proceeding with the work. 105.4.1.2 If a new permit is not obtained within 180 days from the date the initial permit became null and void, the building official is authorized to require that any work that has been commenced or completed be removed from the building site. Alternately, a new permit may be issued on application, providing the work in place and required to complete the structure meets all applicable regulations in effect at the time the initial permit became null and void and any regulations which may have become effective between the date of expiration and the date if issuance of the new permit. 105.4.1.3 Work shall be considered to be in active progress when the permit has received an approved inspection within 180 days. This provision shall not be applicable in case of civil commotion or strike or when the building work is halted due directly to judicial injunction, order or similar process. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 90 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated, prior to expiration. 105.4.1.4 The fee for renewal re-issuance of a permit shall be set forth by the administrative authority. 105.5 Reserved. 105.6 Reserved. 105.7 Placing of permit.

Cost StJjjIt"8galJon November 30, 2011 City of Boynton Beach Building Department Boynton Beach, Rorida RE: 413.417 East Ocean Avenue Boynton Beach, FL 33435 To Whom It May Concern: Please be advised that I performed an inspection of the structure at the above referenced property on November 30. 2011 at the request of the owner. I am a Rorida licensed Professional Engineer that specializes in Structural Engineering. Since or1ginally inspecting this building over a year ago, the existing wall structure has been completely re-built using pressure treated lumber and a sizeable new footing has been installed below the wall on all sides per the previously permitted construction documents. The walls have been properly anchored and strapped in accordance with those plans and the Rorida Building Code. All shor1ng has been re.secured to the wall on each side to provide adequate support. The entire site Is also properly fenced and shielded to keep out trespassers and contain the site. Pursuant to section 104.5 of the Boynton Beach Administrative Amendments to the 2007 FBC, it is my professional opinion that the stll..M;:ture, in its current state, does not pose a fire hazard, danger to human life or hazard to safety or health. It has been made as safe as possible until construction can be compLeted. It was our understanding that the main objective for the owner at this point in the project is to reconstruct the building and salvage the original early 1900's era stucco dadding. It is my opinion that this can be accomplished and approximately 50% of the contracted work has already been completed. Plea~ feel free to contact me with further questions or concerns.
