Explanation; A continuation hearing has been
requested by the Board on August
14th, 2019, requesting that a
Florida Licensed Structural
Engineer perform an inspection
and provide an evaluation report
within the 30 days to determine
the building integrity and structural
soundness.
d
Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida September 25, 2019
An updated engineering report was provided.
Mr. Podray was aware Mr. Kittendorf sent a letter about the engineering report and asked
what the findings were. Mr. Kittendorf confirmed he had questions about the report and
he requested some administrative corrections to the report; however, Dr. Cheng was out
of town. The new report had updated information regarding the conclusion of the
structural soundness of the building.
Dr. Cheng is a certified structural engineer who meets the City's requirements. The
engineer provided a minimal understanding of the compliance to the structure's
soundness. He is not qualifying the building would meet Code or human occupancy at
this time. He only stated the work performed by the owner has bought the structure into
a stable condition.
(Mr. Domblaser arrived at 11.09 a.m.)
Mr. Berger understood the report indicated the building was safe for the time being and
inquired if the repairs made took a band-aid approach. Mr. Kittendorf confirmed it did, but
the report did not make the building safe. The building is still considered unsafe especially
with repairs made, across the Board, without permits. Mr. and Mrs. Ho made immediate
attempts to retain an engineer, and although they made some repairs to secure the
structure from further deterioration, such as securing the trusses, a lot of questions were
raised due to the photographs. Mr. Kittendorf sent correspondence to Dr. Cheng earlier
in the day, he questioned exposed soffits and the diaphragm of the truss system; the
distance separation of openings and sanitary sacks; and the reroofing and existing
exposure to the weather. There is water intrusion and decay of existing materials. The
ceiling drywall was collapsing and there are exposed wires, creating a fire hazard. One
photo showed wood-borne organisms in the structure, which would require an
exterminator to conduct a wood-borne organism survey. There is a plywood repair on the
southwest comer of the building that was made without a permit. There were concerns
based on a photo, the length of the nails does not meet minimum requirements. Staff
would want to ensure the nail length is properly secured, which could be done at the time
of permitting and confirmed at the time of inspection. There were many other concerns,
which Mr. Kittendorf expounded on, as contained in his communication to the engineer
based on the report. He advised the department has set precedence on two other
structures that were about the same or worse condition and thought an eleven-month
window to bring all into compliance would be adequate. Mr. and Mrs. Ho are looking at
other options as it is expensive to renovate or rehabilitate a structure. It may be too costly
to bring the building into compliance, and Mr. and Mrs. Ho may want to reassess this
matter.
Chair Guritzky noted Mr. Kittendorfs comments were based on photos and asked if a
physical inspection had been conducted. Mr. Kittendorf responded the City has not been
granted access to the structure.

Meeting Minutes
Building Boars! of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida September 25, 2019
Attorney Cherof asked if inspection report distributed at the meeting was to supplement
or replace the report in the Board backup and learned it was to replace. Mr. Kittendorf
needed an original of the report. Since Dr. Cheng was out of town, Mr. Kittendorf could
not attest to the authenticity of the report, except for his emails with Dr. Cheng. Attorney
Cherof advised the report distributed by Mr. Kittendorf will be made part of the Board
record.
Attorney Cherof asked Mr. Kittendorf, based on the information provided to him, if he
changed his opinion whether the building is an unsafe structure. Mr. Kittendorf responded
it was still unsafe. Attorney Cherof noted the report from Dr. Cheng makes multiple
references to repairs or replacements, and asked if any of them were preceded by a
building permit and learned there were none, nor was there an application for a building
permit pending. Attorney Cherof queried if a timeline for making an application for building
permits was given to Mr. Kittendorf by the property owners and learned they had not.
Attorney Cherof asked if an application was made in conjunction with issuing building
permits for work previously done that would require a physical inspection on the property
by the City. Mr. Kittendorf responded it would. Attorney Cherof asked if the property
owner indicated if they would consent and allow City staff on their property to make
inspections and was advised they would not.
Mr. Podray asked if the City could force a business or homeowner to make their building
habitable. Attorney Cherof responded they could not force the property owner or
applicant to do so. The remedy is this process to declare the building an unsafe structure
and if not repaired, order its demolition.
Mr. Podray commented he did not support giving the City the power to step onto property
to say there is mold or an electrical outlet that could be more secure. He commented
when someone is repairing their home, they do not necessarily have to bring everything
up to the current Code and the structures are grandfathered in. He thought if the Board
does not completely roll over, the City will press their case, the applicant will sue and end
up in court. He thought the only reasonable method to get past the issue was to say as
long as the report has been substantiated as clear, accurate, and done by a certified
professional, it is a safe structure.
Mr. Kittendorf reiterated the building is not a safe structure. The structural soundness of
a structure is contained in a portion of the Florida Building Code, Existing Building under
Structural Repairs, and based on such, there is an entire chapter about all life safety
features. He emphasized at this time, nowhere and in no case is the structure anywhere
near being a safe structure to occupy and habitat. Mr. Podray commented the lawsuit will
go to court and he thought there was a better way out of it. He believed the Board
Members have lived through cases like this. Board Members know when the City can
temporarily cross the bounds in certain circumstances and two applicants have made it
clear they do not want to be tread on. He questioned how the information was obtained,
and asked if they had a right to "trespass" on their property. He also thought if someone
3

Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida September 25, 2019
saw something wrong with the fascia, if anyone has the right to interpret the entire building
as unsafe, and then the report says the building is safe.
Mr. Kittendorf contended under the Florida Building Code (FBC) Existing Buildings, the
structure has to meet the Code on the design, based on how the design professional
provides it. Based on the information provided, that is how the City got to the point of
structural repairs. With structural repairs, the City wants to ensure if the building is
considered substantially damaged or not. Based on the information provided by the
engineer, he is not determining, at this point, that the vertical load combination of the
structure is effective in a manner that would exceed the percentage shown in the Code
definition. The engineer still has to sign and attest to the report and provide the City with
part of the plans and documented information. it is one piece of the Life Safety features
involved with the building. Any changes or deviation of the Code that are not like-for-like
changes have to meet current code.
Mr. Kittendorf advised with this report, he is reviewing the opportunity to make repairs
versus demolition. It is at the Board's discretion how long a time period to give to repair.
The history shows from aerial views taken by the Property Appralser's Office the
deterioration started in 2005 and continued to present day. In 2005,there was a new roof
system installed from a permit issued in 2004. In 2008, repairs to the roof system were
visible. In 2009, there was a greater roof area being patched and in 2012 further
deterioration occurred. By 2016 to 2017, one storm tore off the entire second layer of
roofing exposing the existing first layer and the outline of the roof tarring on the edges.
There were visible deficiencies between 2016 to 2018,which can be seen on the Property
Appraiser's website. Mr. Kittendorf provided his findings and information along with the
engineer's report. He was not looking for demolition unless Mr. and Mrs. Ho would
consider doing so. He pointed out the repair costs may exceed what Mr. and Mrs. Ho
want to spend. At present, the building is unsafe with all the life safety features that have
to be addressed.
Mrs. Karen Yoh Ho, 9174 Chianti Court, Boynton Beach,was present and explained they
are working with a professional engineer who recommended an architect. The current
building may be changed in a month or so, but they cannot demolish the building. They
want to work with the City to see what they can modify to maintain the usage, which was
fora storage, warehouse, civil rights facility or something else. Mr. Berger noted Mr. and
Mrs. Ho have to address the mold and termite damage and asked if they would work with
the City to address the building in the next year. Ms. Ho explained the goal is to work
with the City. Mr. Berger asked if the improvements included obtaining permits. Mrs. Ho
responded it did. Ms. Ho commented the structural engineer said the building was safe
at this point, but they had to work with an architect. Mr. Berger noted the report indicated
the building is safe, but for not fit for human occupancy. Mrs. Ho requested 18 months to
complete the building.
Mr. Kittendorf clarified the engineer did not give a clear determination that the building
was safe, he only noted the repairs made to the building were more to help secure the
4

Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida September 25, 2019
structure, but no determination the building was safe was made by the engineer. When
there is deterioration, it is hard to make a statement to say it is sound. The engineer was
cautious how he responded to how repairs were made, but no determination it was safe
was made.
Chair Guritzky asked how the City would proceed in the matter. Mr. Kittendorf replied
staff can sit with the owners and provide their findings. It would be better to have a visual
inspection to clearly have an understanding of the actual areas that are affected and
provide a clear list of what they have to do to bring the property into compliance. The first
item Mr. and Mrs. Ho need is to hire a licensed architect to review the information and
then design plans and provide information on how the repairs would be made. The
structural engineer will also provide details on how all will be designed and installed. The
engineer provided a report on minimum items and recommendations what they can do
based on the report of repairs, but in all cases, they must submit everything to the City to
ensure they are Code complaint. The City will use the FBC Existing Building sections
and staff will determine at what extent it triggers staff to go back to prior codes or how
they can stay within the existing Code only. In most cases, the FBC Existing Building
section refers applicants back to the Building Code for certain features and parameters
that have to be brought into compliance.They will go through the entire section of Chapter
6 regarding repairs to a structure. It will provide a process how to assist them to get to
the next level and that is what they communicate to the design professional. Staff can
assist them along with what has to be provided and the information and findings he has
to include to help direct licensed contractors to comply with plumbing, electrical,
mechanical, and others requirements. Staff needs access to the structure, but has not
received it.
Chair Guritzky asked how long would it take to have an architect and engineer get back
to staff for them to review. Mr. Kittendorf thought a 90-day window for plans to be
submitted, and then give the City 30 days to review if there any deficiencies to go back
and forth would be adequate. The Department reviews plans on a 10-day turnaround.
This project would be handled through the expedited process and receive an express
review with a focus on bringing the buildings into compliance as quick as possible.
Mr. Ho did not think 90 days was sufficient time.
. Wing Ho, 9174 Chianti Court, understood some things were not communicated, but
thought they needed to agree on the issues they need to address. Mr. Ho noted the
agenda and the paperwork the Board received, had a picture of an inspection that was
not approved, was not part of the report.
(Mr. Brink left the meeting at 91:33 p.m.)
Mr. Ho had previously heard 11 months, but requested 18 months. They want to have
an idea how large the repair list would be. Ninety days is not enough time to get the
information into the City. He requested 180 days.

Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida September 25, 2019
Chair Guritzky commented the case has been dragging on. Mr. Ho responded now that
they have the report, they made some repairs.
(Mr. Brink returned at 91:35 a.m.)
Ms. Ho noted they interviewed several professional engineers. They want the building
and lot to look good and be up to the current Code. They are not looking for a Certificate
of Occupancy at this time. The building is empty and housing only her sewing items.
Mr. Brink had no problem with 90 business days, but thought 180 days would be
excessive. He suggested 90 days with a 30 or 60day extension at the discretion of the
Building Official. They have to provide proof to the City there is progress. Mr. Dornblaser
agreed.
Attorney Cherof suggested picking a date certain. Mr. Brink liked January 31st without an
extension. Ms. Ho thought January 31St may do be doable to hire an architect, obtain
drawings and then have a structural engineer design. They will provide a timeline and
every step of the way, they will have to have a building permit and an inspection.
Mr. Dornblaser encouraged Mr. and Mrs. Ho to communicate the timeline to the architect.
The time given is more than enough time to create the drawings, get them permitted and
forward them to a structural engineer and then a mechanical, electrical and plumbing,
engineer and get all approved by the City and then into permit. He thought it was easily
attainable in 90 days. Ms. Ho advised they would do what they could do on their side.
By January 319t, Ms. Ho should have the architect and professional engineers ready. She
has to wait for the engineer to return from Tallahassee. When he returns, he will introduce
them to the architect and they can sit down.
Mr. Berger clarified the Board wants 100% design documents from the architect and
structural engineers. The drawings must be ready to be submitted for permitting by
January 31 st. Chair Guritzky wanted a'stipulation that prior to that time, the City will have
permission to enter the property. Mrs. Ho responded she would not allow access. She
said she would work with the City, provided she speaks to her architect and structural
engineer and there is money involved. She has many questions and needs to speak with
the architect.
Mr. Berger advised if Mr. and Mrs. Ho are genuinely intent to file for a building permit,
they will have to let the City have access, because it will save them time and money in
designs. Revisions would be made and a third party would point out what could be done
now. Chair Guritzky felt unless the City has access to that building, it should be
demolished. Ms. Ho advised she would file a lawsuit.

conduct the work stipulated by the Notice
of Unsafe Building dated 12/1912018.
Shane Kiftendorf, Chief Building Official, explained the case is in reference to an unsafe
structure at the above location. The City received a complaint with regard to homeless
vagrants accessing the property climbing on the roof of the property and going to other
adjacent roofs causing vandalism. The owner of the adjacent property allowed the city to
conduct a visual inspection of the deteriorating conditions at the subject site.
Staff found the roof was collapsing and created an unsafe condition. G+aff posted the
property as unsafe and made many attempts to have the owner bring One property into
compliance. No action was taken. The structure is failing, the trust end roof system and
sheathing collapsed in several areas. At this time, Mr. Kittendorf requested demolition
occur.
Mr. Brink asked when the structure was first deemed unsafe. John Kuntzman, Deputy
Building Official responded the City received the complaint on December 10, 2018, and
a site visit was conducted on December 20, 2018. The City posted the property on
December 21, 2018. Mr. Brink asked if the damage to the structure occurred in 2009 due
to a fire. Mr. Kuntzman was unaware of a fire.
Mr. Ho is appealing this and requested a stay on demolition.
James Cherof, City Attorney, administered an oath to all those intending to testify. Mr.
Ho advised they received notice early this year and he and his wife had discussions with
Mr. Kittendorf and Mr. Kuntzman. During the discussions, it was disclosed the property is
used for warehousing and storage. He understood the possibility of demolition. They
later found out they would not be able to build the same structure, if the building is
demolished, because of the lot size. There was discussion about the zoning. Mr. Ho
understands the zoning is C-4. When he looked at the use regulations, as to whether
warehousing can occur, the regulations say no. He read the regulations under C-4,
Warehousing is permissible and there is a note to say See 12. He thought that discussion
should be completed as they move forward how they would use the property and how
they could correct the problems. His wife was handling the demolition notice earlier, but
she unfortunately was incarcerated because her brother stole her inheritance. Mr. Ho
took over the discussions with Mr. Kuntzman in late April. His wife submitted a stay for
demolition so they could make remediate the building, but they may not be able to build
the same structure on the same footprint. Mr. Kuntzman informed him the stay Ms. Ho
submitted was rejected. He had not seen any of the evidence. In a discussion, Mr.
Kuntzman suggested the building be evaluated and remediated to maintain the use of the
property. He submitted another stay on May 7, 2019. Afterward a meeting was set up to
discuss how to move forward. The first meeting was in early June. He showed up, but
there was a procedural issue about posting so he had to reschedule the meeting.

Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida August 14, 2019
Mr. Ho advised an email was sent on July 1 , 2019, which he did not see. A call was
made to him on July 21, 2019, to set a July 24th meeting, which was too short a notice for
him. Staff attempted to set up the August meeting and Mr. Ho had not heard anything
since July. He was able to get his wife out of jail earlier this month. He was requesting
six months for the initial hearing to allow for engineering evaluations so they would know
how to move forward and resolve the use issues, and then they would know what kind of
remediation are needed and then another 12 months to complete the work. In total, he
needed 18 months. He spoke with Mr. Kuntzman who indicated it would be reasonable,
and that was why he was requesting to cancel the demolition. He wanted to renovate the
structure. He is still getting calls from engineering and he indicates he co, `d provide him
with a proposal, but he has not seen it. He received another proposal that seemed more
responsive. He has three he was working with to get it done. He re;®nested receiving the
six-month extension. He has to hire a design professional in six manths.
Ms. Karen Ye Ho, explained the building went through several hurricanes and stood. She
never heard from her neighbor complaining about the building or tearing it down. They
would like to rebuild the building but they have to rehab it. If they demolish the building, it
would be just a piece of land zoned C-4. She would like to spend the money to rehab the
building, but she has been dealing with legal issues. She will use the money for a civil
rights community center, which will be a foundation to address civil rights violations. She
agreed with her husband, they need an extension to work with professionals and not
demolish the building. They want to rebuild for the community and to service the
community. In the meanwhile, they can paint and improve the building aesthetics in a
week or two. She used the building for her own warehouse, never rented out. They own
properties and are good landlords, as they have started to fix up the buildings and houses.
The building was strong, having survived Hurricane Irma. None of her belongings were
affected. The interior was dry. She came to the community meeting to express her
opinions. She hoped the Board would grant an extension.
Mr. Podray explained they have owned the building for a long time and asked if it was
always their intent to keep the building as storage. The Ho's explained they only bought
the building recently. Their son owned the building and they received the building by Quit
Claim Deed. Her next step is to use the property as a Civil Rights Center. They have
owned the building since July 17, 2014.
Mr. Berger noted the question is the building needs rehabilitation. They indicated they
would fix up the outside and after the six months need a year to make it safe. He asked,
in view of Ms. Ho's many appeals, if they had the resources to sufficiently pay for the
immediate rehab of the outside and interior of the building. Mr. Ho thought the outside
was an issue and advised they have someone to take care of the outside. The dispute
was a strip of land owned by the City, which was not taken care of. The back of the
property had a slope and it belonged to Florida East Coast(FEC) Railroad. At one time,
FEC attempted to clean and they dumped the debris on their property. There was
confusion about the FEC and City property theHo's had to maintain. The outside is kept
up and maintained. They have a budget, but they have to get some idea of what is

involved. Someone will come out and decide what can be repaired and take it to the City
so they can get to the point to bring it back to all's satisfaction. He requested 18 months,
which Mr. Kuntzman thought was reasonable.
Ms. Ye Ho explained C-4 is zoned for warehouse for storing their personal belongings
and they do have the resources, but need competent people to do the job. Eighteen
months should not be an issue. They would have to modify the building, replace the walls
with concrete block and have a new structure. They would not know the cost until they
get an engineer and submit the information to Mr. Kuntzman. The City shouod snow the
lawn. Brightline cleaned up the land. When the train goes through, it spry.ids trash. Her
neighbors, who are renters, put a fence there and they never complai;-led to her.
Attorney Cherof asked when they acquired the property and Tear,ped they obtained the
property from their son in December 2018. He owned the property for two or three years.
Attorney Cherof asked if they used the property for her family business during the time
the son owned the property. They used the building for family storage. When they
acquired the building, they were aware of the condition of the property. Since owning the
building,they have not paid any funds for inspections on the property, because the interior
has not leaks.
Attorney Cherof explained the Building Official determined the property is an unsafe
structure under the Florida Building Code. Ms. Ho disputed the determination because it
survived many hurricanes and had no damage. The windows are there. Attorney Cherof
pointed out the outside walls are standing, but the Building Official is asserting the roof is
damaged and not safe. Ms. Ho explained her husband was arranging for someone to
come in and look at the roof. She noted Mr. Ho's brother is a professional civil engineer
in New Jersey and is certified in several states, but not Florida. Attorney Cherof requested
confirmation that during the entire time they have been discussing the condition of the
property with the Building Department, they have not spent any money to make those
determinations. Attorney Cherof noted they have not spent any money on any
professionals during discussions with the Building Department. Mr. Kuntzman kept
pushing for demolition. She asked if she demolished the building if she could rebuild and
another department explained she could not, so she appealed. The lot size cannot be
zoned for an unauthorized structure. The building is grandfathered in, so they can only
rehab it. Attorney Cherof asked Mr. Kittendorf why the building was unsafe.
Mr. Kittendorf explained a visual inspection of the roof showed the roof was collapsing.
There were multiple indications of failure based on the pictures attached to the meeting
materials. Based on the visuals, an extremely unsafe condition exists and that is why he
was requesting immediate action be taken on the property. Ms. Ho asked if building is
unsafe, why it was not leaking. Mr. Kittendorf explained the Building Department has
taken opportunities to communicate to the owner, they need to bring the property into
compliance, and in eight months'time, no action has been taken. Staff would like to move
forward with the demolition as they have given the Ho's over eight months to bring the
property into compliance and no action has been taken. Ms. Ho commented if the
Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida August 14, 2019
Building Department takes her property rights they will be sued as the Building Official
does not have the right to demand demolition when the inside of the building is perfectly
sound and safe. She is not using it as a business rental, only storage and there is not a
drop of water inside. She admitted the building is ugly. She can paint the building, but if
the City demolished the building, she could not build on the property and the property
would be devalued. She can turn the building into a nice property.
Chair Gurltzky explained at this point the Ho's have done nothing. Ms. Ho disagreed and
commented they have cleaned the City property on the side of the building and the City
was negligent in their care of the property. Mr. Ho clarified there were options in the
beginning. They were inclined to demolish in March. After that, they understood the
implication of demolition. Mr. Ho explained he is new to this. He stopped talking to Mr.
Kuntzman. He asked to appeal the demolition and keep the building's structure. He
commented, once demolished, they cannot have a C-4 Zoning because of the size of the
lot. Ms. Ho understood it was still CA but they cannot build anything on it. When she
spoke to Mr. Kuntzman, Mr. Kuntzman said they could demolish the building and
construct a new building. She asked if he was certain and he asked Zoning and at a
group meeting, the Zoning said they could not build the same building on the same lot. It
was suggested they rehab the building to the existing building's square footage. She
explained people get new roofs all the time and they did not have to demolish the entire
building because of the roof. She explained that is the City's opinion and they want the
o's to demolish the building so the CRA can buy it cheaply because they cannot do
anything with the land anymore.
Chair Guritzky explained there is a structural problem. Mr. Kittendorf commented as the
Building Official, he has determined that there is a structural problem. The roof system
is failing. He read F.S. Chapter 116 FC 116.1.4: "The decision of the Building Official
shall be final in all cases of emergency, which in the opinion of the Building Official
involved imminent danger to human life and health or the property of others and he or
she shall promptly cause such building structure, electrical, gas, mechanical of plumbing
systems or portion thereof to be made safe or cause its removal. For this purpose, he or
she may, at once enter such structure or lane in which it stands, or abutting land and
structures with such assistance has such as to cause the he may deem necessary, he or
she may order the vacating of adjacent structures and may require the protection of the
public by appropriate fencing or other means that may be necessary for its purpose and
may close it a public way."
Mr. Kittendorf made the determination that this structure is unsafe. Staff gave ample time
to the Ho's to obtain evaluations from an engineer and to bring the building into
compliance, but since then nothing was done. He noted it has taken some time for the
building to get to its current condition. It has been occurring for years. He noted the
property appraisers, aerial view, shows how the building has substantially deteriorated 1
over the last 10 years. At said time, staff has done all they could to assist clients to come
into compliance and nothing was done. The meeting is to hear a stay of demolition, and
Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida August 14, 2019
as a Building Official, he is requesting an immediate demolition as in eight months, they
have taken no action or spent anything to bring the property into compliance.
Ms. Ho commented the Building Official was using hearsay; she wanted an engineering
report from Mr. Kiendorf to prove it. Mr. Kiendorf reiterated he is the Building Official
and he made his determination. Mr. Kiendorf explained when Mr. and Mrs. Ho received
the notice they were advised they needed an engineer to conduct a physical and visual
assessment to bring the structure into compliance. He reiterated the City gave ample time
to address the matter and nothing was done.
Mr. Ho commented they eventually decided to get a design professional or someone
licensed to see what is occurring. Mr. Ho explained everybody said they would rather
the property be rehabbed than demolished. He heard it consistently. He wants the appeal
and the extensions so they can maintain the structure all is advocating for rehab. Ms. Ho
explained there is a cause of action. If the building is demolished, they cannot build on it
and the property value is greatly diminished. She commented it was not in the City's best
interests. The first time they heard of demolition was in December 2018. They have been
taking care of the property for the train in the back and the side for the City. There is no
lawn to mow. She asked what the benefit was to demolish the building except to
depreciate their property value and asserted it was a cause of action.
Mr. Podray suggested giving them 30 days to come up with their own engineering report
that shows that the structure's walls are actually fine, so there is no imminent danger to
the public. He noted there is a difference between a structural compromise and a roof,
which would collapse in and then the walls could collapse out and cause an issue. He
suggested Ms. Ho spend the money in the next 30 days, so the liability is taken off the
City and the Building Official and transferred to the Ho's engineer. If something were to
happen after that, the City could say Mr. and Mrs. Ho had a certified engineer inspect the
project who deemed it safe, and then the Board could talk about an extension to rehab
the rest of the building. The City is not in the demolition business unless there is an
imminent danger. Ms. Ho agreed and asked for two months to find a qualified engineer
for the report.
Chair Guritzky explained this case was postponed two or three months ago. When it was
postponed, he had advised Mr. Ho to move ahead with something and nothing was done.
Ms. Ho advised they were in bad situation two or three months ago and she was jailed.
She tried to give her husband power of attorney because nothing could occur without her
signature. They own the property together, but they were moving her around.
Mr. Brink clarified Ms. Ho should seek a structural engineer. Ms. Ho understood a civil or
professional engineer determined safety. Mr. Brink explained she needed a structural
engineer.

Meeting Minutes
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Boynton Beach, Florida August 14, 2019
Mr. Brink inquired if the building could be rebuilt if it was demolished and non-conforming,
and further questioned if the Ho's could make repairs to the structure under the Florida
Building and current Codes. Mr. Kittendorf responded it would be a level three alteration
and they would be required to bring it into full compliance with the Florida Building Code.
He explained with regard to conforming and non-conforming uses, it was a Planning and
Zoning matter with a completely separate Board and a completely separate Board
discussion, which the Ho's were made aware of. A building could be constructed on the
property, but what they want to build and use the structure for is not an allowable existing
use, nor can it be a future use at the location. What the Ho's were trying to maintain is
not an existing use.
The City's position is the building is an unsafe structure. The roof is collapsing and it
needs a full structural analysis by a structural engineer who is proponent and focused in
the structural integrity of a structure. When a roof system fails, it affects everything else
including the walls, as the walls can push out if the building does not have a complete
envelope in place. When a storm comes through, it creates an adverse environment and
affects surrounding structures,as the materials can become projectiles. The City is taking
action on this and several other properties for the same reason. This property at this time
is unsafe and needs immediate action and they did nothing. Ms. Ho commented Mr.
Kittendorf has never seen the inside of the building and he was expressing his opinion.
She has not given anyone permission to enter the premises and even touching the
building was not legal. She commented City officials can only go around the building and
she asked how Mr. Kittendorf could give his opinion. Ms. Ho explained a board member
recommended she get a structural engineer and she noted another name for structural
engineer is civil engineer. An architect designed the building.A civil engineer designs the
safety. Ms. Ho confi ed the building was wood framed. Mr. Berger advised the Ho's
have four weeks to get an engineer. There is no time to draw anything, they will be able
to walk in, look around and advise what has to be torn down. A four-week timeframe is
reasonable for someone to say if the building is safe for the next six months.
Mr. Brink explained the State of Florida and City have granted the Building Official the
authority to make these decisions. Ms. Ho commented she would have to research that
point. When she went to the City, she heard different people say different things, and
they were all different opinions. She thought if more opinions were wanted, the Building
Department should be brought in. They will say she is grandfathered in, and they can
rehab the building to the same square footage, but they cannot build if they demolish the
building. Ms. Ho was asked if she would let building officials inside the structure to look
at the walls. Ms. Ho responded not yet. She wanted to wait until the building professional
came. She advised she would have a professional come in and advise her whether it is
safe or not within however long theBoard's recommended time frame was and for how
long the professional says the building will be safe, while they try to get a rehab done or
something is done.

Boynton Beach, Florida August 14, 2019
She appreciated the one-month's time to get someone in to take a look at the building.
They did not try to ignore the building, she filed an appeal and then she was jailed.
Attorney Cherof thought it would be appropriate to have a motion to continue the hearing
to a date certain to a month after the report filed with the building official because the
inspection report should be filed and reviewed by the Building Official before the hearing
continues, so there is an opportunity to evaluate it.
Motion
Mr. Podray offered a motion for discussion. Mr. and Mrs. Ho have 30 days to get a
structural engineer or the equivalent inside that building to deem it a safe structure and if
that is satisfactory and he produces a report to the Building Official's satisfaction, give
them the 18 months, because they would do so for the rehab. He thought as long as the
building is safe, the Board should not enter a slippery slope argument that debates what
constitutes a structurally compromised roof versus a leaky roof or what rot looks like on
a soffit. He suggested 30 days to prove it safe, and if that is the case, they will bring it to
the 18 months according to the motion and the Ho's could do whatever they want with the
building. Chair Guritzky thought there should be a separate motion extending to 18
months.
Ms. Ho was concerned about unknown circumstances if the civil engineer completes the
report, but could not get the report to the Building Department within 30 days. Chair
Guritzky explained the engineer has to submit it within 30 days. The motion is 30 days
for the structural engineer to get the report to the City, the Board will give the City another
week to review it and from there they will move ahead. It has to be a Florida licensed
structural engineer. Ms. Ho advised she has a Florida Licensed Civil Engineer, but they
are in New Jersey and Texas.
The motion was repeated as: 'The Florida Licensed Structural Engineer must submit a
certified report to the City within 30 days and then the City has another week to review,
and from there they will move ahead. It must be a Florida licensed professional."
Mr. Podray wanted to offer a different motion because the engineer may show up to the
property and say if you do this, this and this, then I will certify the property as structurally
sound. He thought the Board would have to convene each month to ensure the building
conforms. He suggested modifying the motion as follows:
That within 30 days, Ms. Ho will produce a report that either the building is deemed safe
or is unsafe with these deficiencies that have to be corrected within a certain period of
time. Once the building is safe, the Board is irrelevant. Mr. Brink was ok with the
suggestion. Mr. Berger questioned if it was the place of the engineer to put the
deficiencies with a timeframe. Chair Guritzky thought it would be up to the City to develop
an adequate timeframe to remedy them outside of the hearing. Once it is deemed safe,

Boynton Beach, Florida August 1 , 2019
Mr. Podray wanted the Ho's to have their 18 months. Chair Guritzky did not think they
needed the 18 months.
Attorney Cherof explained the purpose of the Board is to evaluate the evidence. Once the
structural engineer files the report, the Building Official will review it, the Board would
need to meet to evaluate the evidence,the Building Official's response to it,the engineer's
report itself and then make a determination how much time, if any, is necessary to
effectuate repairs. He saw it as a two-step process. All agreed.
Chair Guritzky asked who made the motion and learned Mr. Podray had, but discussion
followed.
Motion
Attorney Cherof explained the motion as to continue the hearing on appeal to allow the
property owner to retain a Florida licensed structural engineer to file a report regarding
whether the property is safe or unsafe, plus time for the building official to review it and
at that point, the building official would take care of the process of resetting the hearing.
It was explained to Mr. and Ms. Ho they have one month from today for the structural
engineer and another week or so for the building Official to review and a week or so to
coordinate the calendar for a hearing. The Ho's end up with additional time in addition to
the 30 days, but the important part is to get the structural engineer's report on file.
Ms. Ho requested to add a civil engineer to the motion instead of structural engineer. Mr.
Berger explained most structural engineers go to college for civil engineering and they
major in that, and at some point out of college, they obtain there P (Professional
Engineer) License and a stamp structural engineer. It is sort of the same thing, but the
Ho's needed to be talking to a licensed structural engineer. Civil Engineer is land
development. Attorney Cherof asked if the Board was okay with the way he had praised
the motion. Mr. Brink seconded the motion. Attorney Cherof requested a motion to
restate that and then a second. Mr. Podray explained Mr. Brink had so moved. Chair
Guritzky seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed.

There being no further business to discuss, Chair Guritzky moved to adjourn. Mr. Podray

vent pipe that extends to the outdoors per 2017 FBC-P 904 .1.
If a new building drain is to be installed, each occupancy
shall have its own vent to the exterior.
8- The incorrect edition of the building code is listed on
the drawing. All work shall comply with the 2017 FBC, and
its disciplines. Please list the correct code reference and
edition on the plans.
9- The water service for each occupancy is shown as 1/211 in
size. The water service pipe shall not be less than 3/4-inch
per 2017 FBC-P 603 .1. Revise the size of the proposed water
service entrance.
10- The water service and the sanitary are shown in close
proximity. The separation of water service and building
sewer shall comply with 2017 FBC-P 603 .2 . Please revise the
design to show compliance with the code.

BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS
IN RE: APPEAL FROM ORDER OF DEMOLITION
Applicants: Wing Kei Ho and are Yeh Ho
ORDER GRANTING STAY OF DEMOLITION
The April 04, 2019 appeal filed by Wing Kei Ho and Karen Ye h Ho (hereinafter referred to as
("Applicant") came before the City's Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals on August 14,
2019 for hearing. The Applicant appealed a December 19, 2018 Notice of Unsafe Building
issued by Shane Kittendorf, Building Official of the City of Boynton Beach. The applicant
represented himself.
The City's BuildingBoard ofAdjustment and Appeals(hereinafter referred to asthe"Board")
after review of the testimony and evidence provided by the Building Official,and the arguments
of Applicant and his attorney finds:
1. The Building Official has determined that property owned by Applicant located at 1101-
1103
101-1103 N. Federal Highway in Boynton Beach, Florida is unsafe,unsanitary,afire
hazard,and dangerous tohurnan life which is supported bytherecord and is not
disputed.
2. By issuance of his December 19, 2018 Notice of Unsafe Building,the Building
Official advised the Applicant of his findings and ordered the repair,rehabilitation or
demolition of the unsafe building.
3. The Applicant filed their appeal of the Building Official's notice and sought an
extension of time to repair and rehabilitate the property and thereby avoid its demotion by
the City.
4. The applicant contest the unsafe condition of the building but asserted that the
building can be repaired to a safe condition if given a reasonable period of time to
effectuate the repairs.
5. The Board, following testimony of the Applicant and the Building Official finds that
the Applicant has 30 days to come up with their own engineering report that shows the
structure's walls are fine so there is no imminent danger to the Public and a
continuance hearing scheduled.
6. The Board finds that the building is unsafe but that the Applicant should be granted 30
days for an independent engineering report by the Applicant's engineer to determine
the safety of the building. The board motion to continue the hearing and granted 30
days to seek a structural engineering report and a copy filed with the Building Official
before the hearing continues so there is an opportunity to evaluate it.
7. Motion: Mr. Podray offered a motion for discussion. Applicant have 30 days to
get a structural engineer or the equivalent inside that building to deem it a safe
structure and if that is satisfactory and he produce a report to the Building
Official's satisfaction, give them 18 months, because they would do so for the
rehab. He thought as long as the building is safe, the Board should not enter a
slippery slope argument that debates what constitutes a structural compromised
roof versus a leaky roof or what rot looks like on the soffit. He suggested 30 days
to prove it safe, and if that is the case, they will bring it to the 18 months according
to the motion and the Applicant could do with whatever they want with the
building. Chair Guiritzky thought there should be a separate motion extending to
18 months. The motion was repeated as: "The Florida Licenses Structural Engineer
must submit a certified report to the City within 30 days and then the City has
another week to review, and from there they will move ahead. It must be a Florida
licensed professional." The Board would need to meet to evaluate the evidence, the
Building Official's response to it, the engineer's report itself and then make a
determination how much time, if any, is necessary to effectuate repairs.
8. The public record, including, but not limited to, the Building Official's reports,
memoranda, comments and recommendations on the appeal, agenda back-up before the
Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals, along with the record established before the
Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals on August 14, 2019, are hereby
incorporated byreference.
9. The Board retains jurisdiction of this appeal to issue supplemental orders it deems
necessary to remedy its finding that the building owned by Applicants is unsafe.
DONE AND ORDERED this day of 2019 in the City of Boynton Beach,
Florida.

INSPECTION REPORT FOR BUILDING
at 1101 — 1103 N. Federal Hwy
Boynton Beach, FL 33435
se
Engineer: Yousheng Cheng,, PhD
FL PE No. 65406
z/'
An inspection was made on 09/01/2019 for the building at 1101-1103 N. Federal Hwy.,
Boynton Beach, FL 33435, which was built in 1958.
1. Description of Building
The subject building is approximately 60'-9" (L) x 40' —0" (W) x 9'—8" (H) and is a wood
frame structure with wood trusses. The roof of the building consists of plywood,
waterproof material (bituminous), asphalt shingles. The North and South sides of this
building consist of 8'—6" long brick wall and 52' —3" wood wall, the West side is a wood
wall, and the East side consists of large glass windows, doors, a brick column at the mid
width and a 4'-0" canopy at 10'—4" above the ground. Based on the exposed portions,
the trusses (chord 2"x4") are spaced at 4'—0" O.C., wood wall vertical studs are
2"x4'x9'-0" (H) spaced at 16" O.C., and horizontal blocks are 2"x4" spaced at 2' —6"
O.C. The South wall at the West corner was damaged by a vehicle, but was re-built to
its pre-damage state.
The building went through numerous hurricanes such as recent Hurricanes IR A,
Michael, Matthew, etc, and no damage was found due to the hurricanes.
2. Current Conditions of Building
2.1 Exterior
2.1.1 South Side Wall
The wall consists of 8'—6" long brick and 52' — 3" wood wall, and is painted. Per
inspection (see Photo 1), the exterior side of this wall looks in good shape- no paint is
peeled off except along the bottom of the wall where a very small portion of paint is off,
which does not impact the capacity and integrity of the wall at all. In addition, neither
cracks nor corrosion occurs in the wall.
2.1.2 North Side Wall
Similar to the South side, the wall consists of 8'—6" long brick and 52' —3" wood wall,
and is painted. Per inspection (see Photo 2), the exterior side of this wall looks in good
shape - no paint is peeled off except along the bottom of the wall where a very small
portion of paint was off, neither cracks nor corrosion occurs in the wall.
2.1.3 West Side Wall
There are two doors in the wall. An electrical box, a pipe, cables, etc. are secured to
the wall. Paint looks good. Neither cracks nor corrosion is found in the wall. A very little
portion along the bottom edge of the North door was damaged, which, however, will not
impact the capacity and integrity of the wall. In addition, the secured attachments shall
not become missiles. See Photo 3.
2.1.4 East Side Wall
There are a couple of large glass windows, two doors, a brick column at the mid-width,
and a 4'-0" canopy at 10' —4" above the ground. All of the windows, brick column and
doors look in good shape. The canopy is also in a good condition except small portions
of paint fell off. See Photos 4 and 5.
2.1.5 Roof
T'he half side (South) of the roof looks good and no severe damage is found. For the
other half side (North) of the roof, the Northwest portion is damaged severely, but the
degraded portion has been repaired and covered by new plywood via screws. There is
leakage in the Northeast portion, but the damaged plywood has been repaired as well.
Therefore, the roof will not get detached to become missiles. See Photo 6.
2.2 Interior
The inside of the building is divided into two portions by a partition wall along the East-
Wes direction.
2.2.1 South Portion
Ceiling-the most of ceiling is in a good condition except the small portion in the front.
See Photos 7 & 8. Therefore, this proves that the most of half side roof(South) is in
good shape. The small portion of the front ceiling (East side close to the window)
cracks and peeled off, which may indicate slight leakage in the roof, but should not
damage the integrity of the roof in a short time period (18 months) by engineering
judgment.
South side, interior face - Per Photo 9, no cracks, no corrosion, and no leakage are
indicated on the interior face of the South wall except the Southwest corner. A small
portion of the interior dry wall is taken out (see Photos 10 & 11), which show existing
plywood sheet (wall), vertical studs and horizontal blocks are in good shape. Per the
exposed area, vertical existing wall studs are 2"x4" @ 30"with horizontal blocks (2"x4")
@ 30" vertically. Per Photo 12, the portion of the South wall frame, where a door was
located, has been replaced since it was damaged by a car accident. The new vertical
wall studs are 2"x4" @ 16", which are connected to the existing door lintel at the top and
anchored to concrete at the bottom. The new studs of 2"x4" @16" are stronger, and
thus, better than the existing studs 2"x4" @ 30".
North side—the partition wall in the middle of the building is not a structural member
and looks good. See Photo 13.
East side, interior face—The East (front) side consists of big windows. The window
frame and other portions look good. See Photo 14.
West side, interior face—The West(rear) side looks good since there are no cracks and
corrosion in the wall. See Photo 15.
2.2.2 North Portion
Ceiling- the major portions of the existing trusses close to the North wall were corroded
per inspection, however, the degraded portions of the truss chords have been replaced
with new same sizes of wood members and (6) %" bolts splicing sandwich connection,
and corroded roof plywood has been replaced. The other damaged portions of the
existing trusses have also been repaired with same sizes of wood members. The end
of the new spliced chords is tired down to vertical studs or top horizontal wood plate
using same sizes of existing metal straps. See Photos 116,117, 18 and 19. The splicing
sandwich connection has been qualified (see Sect. 3). Therefore, the existing trusses
have been restored to the original status or even better, and should not be a problem in
a short time period (18 months) by engineering judgment.
North side, interior face - Per Photo 19, existing wood plank (wall) and vertical studs are
in good shape except some corroded studs and top plates which have been replaced.
South side—the partition wall in the middle of the building is not a structural member
and looks good. See Photo 20.
East side, interior face—The East (front) side consists of big windows. The window
frame and other portions look good. See Photo 21.
West side, interior face—The West (rear) side looks good since there are no cracks and
corrosion in the wall. See Photo 22.
3. Evaluation of Building
The building was constructed in 1958, and was designed to the code at that time,
therefore, it is reasonable that the building does not meet the current design codes
(ASCE 7-10, F 2017, etc), and needs to be re-modeled to the current design codes.
However, based on the facts that the building has successfully survived from numerous
hurricanes, and has not got damaged at all, and that all structural members including
connections remain in good shape or have been fixed to the original state or even better
as discussed previously, the building shall not get detached to become missiles and
shall not fail down in a short time of period (18 months) by engineering judgment. The
splicing connection for the truss chords has been evaluated on next few pages.

NOTICE OF APPEAL FOR REPAIR
I, Wing Kei Ho,had met with the officials of Building Division of the City of Boynton each on
May 10, 2019 with regard to the repair,rehabilitation,or demolition of structure on 1101-1103 N
Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, FL 33435.
The major concerns with structure and services were conveyed by the officials of Buidling
Division of City of Boynton Beach. Those concerns were listed from the previous notice
although it lacks any specific evidence on the notice or communication on the area of concerns
fisted.
There was discussion about whether the property is zoned for warehouse, It has not been
resolved from the discussion.
Previously,the owner provided answer to some concerns and suggested correcting some issues
that are addressable in short term on the list(original appeal submitted on April 5, 2019)
including:
9 Debris concerned in the lot and parking area was addressed by regular maintenance,
removal and clean up.
* Installation of solar panel to address warehousing lighting needs.
0 A number of concerns (Inadequate light and ventilation, does not provide adequate
egress) are not applicable for warehousing as it is not intended for human occupancy.
@ It has portable water as continuous monthly water bills prove the case.
0 Installation of wire mesh to prevent critters from entering.
Those corrections and answers to address the concerns were deemed lower priority by the
officials and it is the officials' opinion that the lower priority concerns be driven by higher
priority concerns on the structure of the building.
In light of the above conversation with the building division,the plan is to hire design
professional to address area of concerns and provide recommendations for necessary repair and
rehabilitation. The design professional would also address applicability of warehousing for the
current zoning of building or otherwise secure the proper zoning or alternate use of the property.
The timeline is to hire a design professional for evaluation and acquisition of the proper
applications and permits in 6 months and allows for an additional 12 months for
construction/repair/rehabilitation for this appeal for extension for a total of 18 months. The
timeline will be further refined once the design professional is identified to start the work.

injustice and would be contrary to the spirit and purpose of this or the technical codes or public
interest,and also finds all of the following:
1.That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building,structure or
service system involved and which are not applicable to others.
2.That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of the
applicant.
3.That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that
is denied by this code to other buildings,structures or service system.
4.That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use
of the building,structure or service system.
5.That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
code and will not be detrimental to the public health,safety and general welfare.
113.4.2.1 Conditions of the variance. In granting the variance,the board may prescribe a
reasonable time limit within which the action for which the variance is required shall be
commenced or completed or both. In addition,the board may prescribe appropriate
conditions and safeguards in conformity with this code.Violation of the conditions of a
variance shall be deemed a violation of this code.
113.4.3 Notice of appeal. Notice of appeal shall be in writing and filed within 30 calendar days
after the building official renders the decision.Appeals shall be in a form acceptable to the
building official.
