Saleica Brown, Business Tax & Zoning Manager, presented the case, and stated the business, Back in the Woods, Nuisance, Wildlife and Hog Removal and Control, owned by Chet Buchanan, was revoked on August 13, 2018, for violation as stated above. The citation is for operating outside the scope of the Business Tax Receipt. Meeting Minutes Community Standards Special Magistrate Hearings Boynton each, Florida OCTOBER 1 , 201 Chet Buchanan and Kim Bouchard presented an appeal for the above-reference violation. Mr. Buchanan stated the residence is where the business office is, admitting that the business is wildlife removal. When animals are caught they are usually taken to a designated facility or place to be dealt with according to the law. Sometimes a wild pig has to be brought temporarily at the residence, but at no time has there been an attempt to keep or raise any of these animals (sometimes the designated facilities are closed, paper work has to be done, needs to rest or eat, etc.). Mr. Buchanan admits to being cited twice, the last time just paid the fine out of convenience. The animals are in a transport trailer or in a cage, secured and locked. Ms. Zalman questioned as to the length of time animals are kept at the residence; Mr. Buchanan said animals are trapped every day. Ms. Zalman clarified facts with the City: Animal Control had cited Mr. Bouchard three times, on January 12, 2018, June 18, 2018, and August 9, 2018. Officer Roehrich, Animal Control, cited Mr. Buchanan due to ongoing citizen complaints. The times of the citations, the trailer was not attached to the truck and was in the driveway, and Mr. Buchanan was warned that the pigs could not be housed even temporarily on site, period. Ms. Zalman noted that the Code is clear, no evidence has been presented to appeal the judgment, and recommended working with the City to assure there are no further occurrences. Mr. Buchanan stated it won't happen again and that arrangements to move outside the County to Kissimmee River. Ms. Zalman followed up that it appears that testimony from the City was that the animals were not there temporarily, that the City was there on multiple occasions with warnings, and there was not evidence that they were there temporarily, except for the testimony by the respondent. Decision Based on testimony, Ms. Zalman denied the appeal. Case No. 18-1362 Kim & Patricia Bouchard Property Address: 318 SW 12th Ave Type of Property: Single Family, homesteaded Violation(s): CO CH 15 SECT 15-120D INCL Remove all materials stored outside as well as trash and debris.

Speed bump was installed, curbing was fixed. Roof and parking lot drainage were originally designed to flow into the Intercoastal; sump pump had been replaced seven years ago, and otherwise no other changes were made to original design. Ms. Zalman addressed the need to upgrade the sump pump. It was elaborated on what has transpired on the property creating flooding nuisance. Substantial flooding with hurricanes last year was beyond capacity of the pump to keep up.

Permits are required for replacement of the pump and piping that was installed. Letter from water management district states satisfaction with compliance, but now need to have permits for new pump and proper piping. Owner noted that without electricity following the hurricane, it was impossible for the pump to run; however, City noted that there are other instances besides the hurricane flooding that contribute to these violations. Copy of the letter was presented to Ms. Zalman, who then recommended continue working with Code Officers to discover exactly what remains to be done. Discussion after decision ensued on what circumstances do and do not contribute to the violations. Decision Based on testimony, Ms. Zalman ordered 90 days from date of printed order or $100 a day, plus admin fees of$634.12.

The respondent understands there are violations on the property, but is under the impression there is a permit for the fence.

The roof on the shed is not yet finished. Discussion became heated; Ms. Zalman stressed the respondent must have communications with the City, time has been granted, City has reached out, but respondent does not communicate to resolve the violations. Mr. Devore claimed that Officer Weixler reaches out when he is not at home. Officer Weixler noted that the Rubbermaid shed has a washer and dryer inside and must be permitted.
