EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS 8:54:00 Case # Titone Properties LLC Mr. DeBlois summarized that this case had to do with some violation issues forwarded to Code Enforcement staff from the county s Building Department staff who had inspected the property. Ms. Vanessa Carter Solomon, IRC Code Enforcement Officer, submitted the Building Department report into evidence and testified regarding electrical and CEB- Approved 2 October 26, 2015

3 plumbing issues as well as structural concerns. She stated that although some of the building additions may have been completed before the Respondent purchased the property, when the Building Department did their inspection they noted all deficiencies. She went on to say that the Respondent now has a permit to replace the roof and has hired a structural engineer to assist him in bringing the property into compliance. The residence is currently occupied. Respondent Mr. Mark Titone contended that this case began two years ago when a disgruntled tenant contacted the County but that he was not aware of it until April of this year. He added that the roofer he hired will begin work in two weeks. Mr. DeBlois recommended a 60 day extension, until December 25, 2015, to resolve the issues by obtaining the building permits and completing the inspections. The Respondent countered with a proposal for a 90 day extension due to the upcoming holidays to which Mr. DeBlois agreed. Discussion followed regarding the electrical maintenance violations which the Board agreed could be very serious safety issues, particularly because the Subject Property is currently occupied. Mr. DeBlois amended his recommendation to a 30 day extension for the electrical work and a 90 day extension for the remaining violations. After further discussion, however, he and the Board agreed to a 14 day extension for the electrical work. 9:07:28 ON MOTION BY Mr. Gervasio, SECONDED BY Mr. Petrulak, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to find the violation and grant an extension of 14 days, until November 6, 2015, for compliance on the electrical issues and 90 days, until January 22, 2016 to come into compliance on the remaining violations or a $100 per day fine would be imposed. It is noted for the record that the Respondent was present for this hearing. 9:09:38 Case # MSI LLC and Tenant Mr. DeBlois summarized that this case had to do with roosters, chickens and an unpermitted chicken coop. He recommended a 30 day extension, until November 20, 2015, to verify that there were no roosters and no more than four chickens on the CEB- Approved 3 October 26, 2015

4 property and to verify that any coop structure is either permitted or removed. Inspector Carter Solomon submitted one photo into evidence and testified that she posted the property on October 16 th, She discussed the unpermitted chicken coop that currently contains five chickens and stated that the roosters were no longer on the property. 9:14:51 Boehning, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to find non-compliance and grant an extension of 30 days, until November 20, 2015, for the Respondent to resolve building permit violations and verify that there are no more than four chickens on the Subject Property, or a $100 per day fine would be imposed. It is noted for the record that the tenant of the property was present for this hearing. 9:15:01 Case # Thomas C. Clark Inspector Carter-Solomon submitted three photographs into evidence and testified that this case was related to an unpermitted fence and gate in a public right of way. The gate has since been removed but the fence and posts remain. Respondent Mr. Thomas Clark stated that when he purchased his property six months ago, he asked the county to clear the right of way to allow access to his property. They refused so he spent $2000 to clear the land and felt that he had the right to protect his property which was the reason for installing the fence and gate. Discussion followed regarding whether or not the cited fences are on the right of way or on private property and it was decided that the County would need to do a survey in order to verify right of way lines. Mr. DeBlois recommended a 30 day extension, until November 20, 2015, so that the County could complete a survey and determine right of way lines. 9:32:12 ON MOTION BY Mr. Gervasio, SECONDED BY Mr. Myers II, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to grant CEB- Approved 4 October 26, 2015

5 an extension of 30 days, until November 20, 2015, for the County staff to do a survey and determine right of way lines. It is noted for the record that the Respondent was present for this hearing. 9:22:43 Case # Frederick Miller & Edward Miller Mr. Deblois advised that the case related to property that in 1976 received a site plan for a salvage yard. The citations are for trash and debris, trailers used as living quarters, dilapidated structures, improper storage of tires and batteries and a business not associated with the salvage yard. Inspector Ms. Kelly Buck, IRC Code Enforcement Officer, submitted the 1976 site plan and thirteen photos into evidence and updated the Board as to the current status of compliance. On May 17, 2015 she accompanied representatives from the County Health Department and the State Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission on an initial inspection of the property. She reported that the property had no electricity or water, had several junk vehicles, dilapidated structures and excessive tires and debris. She discussed a tire repair business that is run out of the front of the property with possible right of way obstructions. Charles Vogt, Environmental Specialist III with the Indian River County Department of Health, testified regarding the May 17, 2015 inspection. He described a significant amount of debris which was difficult to see due to the overgrown vegetation. He pointed out that there were no restroom facilities and that there were hazardous materials scattered throughout the Subject Property. He stated that his department s most pressing concern would be to remove the tires from the site in order to control mosquito breeding. The Indian River Mosquito Control District has been notified for possible assistance. Respondent Mr. Edward Miller alleged that after the inspection he was told to put the batteries in a trailer and get rid of some of the tires, which he has done. He produced receipts as proof of tire disposal. He went on to say that he s under the impression that he is allowed to keep one thousand tires which he uses for tables with pallets for plants. He spoke of a power pole that fell through the roof of a house on the property during the 2004 hurricanes and still remains despite his pleas to Florida Power & Light to remove it. He s claimed that he s doing his best to come into compliance despite the number of hours he already works. He added that he does have a junk yard license. CEB- Approved 5 October 26, 2015

6 Mr. DeBlois recommended a 30 day extension, until November 20, 2015, for staff to verify that nobody is living on the property. In addition, he recommended a 90 day extension, until January 22, 2016, for staff to verify progress since the May inspection and ensure that the Respondents continue to move towards compliance. 10:03:32 ON MOTION BY Mr. Gervasio, SECONDED BY Mr. Petrulak, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to find the violation and grant an extension of 30 days, until November 20, 2015, for staff to verify that nobody is living on the property and 90 days, until January 22, 2016, for staff to verify progress towards compliance. It is noted for the record that the Respondent was present for this hearing. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS 10:05:40 Case # Garry J. Garvey and Jose B. Perez Mr. David Checchi, IRC Contractor License Investigator, testified regarding Mr. Jose Perez doing business as At Your Service Electric & Home Repair. When investigating the Subject Property on the owner/builder permit, he observed Mr. Garvey, Mr. Perez and another gentleman working on a kitchen remodel. Mr. Perez introduced the third gentleman as his employee. Mr. Perez does not have a workers compensation exemption and does not have any insured employees on record so he was issued a citation for failure to provide workers compensation on an employee. At a later date Mr. Perez went to the building department and told staff that the employee in question was actually a neighbor and friend who was just hanging out at the jobsite. Respondent Mr. Jose Perez testified that although he is a licensed electrical contractor, he was helping Mr. Garvey as a friend on the day in question and that his neighbor simply came along because he was bored. He didn t recall telling Mr. Checchi that the neighbor was his employee as he has no employees. Mr. DeBlois pointed out that this case comes down to the testimony of Mr. Perez versus the testimony of Mr. Checchi, both of whom testified under oath. 10:22:28 CEB- Approved 6 October 26, 2015

7 ON MOTION BY Mr. Gervasio, SECONDED BY Mr. Petrulak, the Board voted (4-2) to uphold citation #1219 as issued in the amount of $500. Mr. Boehning and Chairman Zimmermann were the opposing votes. It is noted for the record that the Respondents were present for this hearing. 10:23:48 Case # Garry J. Garvey Mr. Checchi testified regarding the Respondent s owner/builder permit which in part states that the homeowner cannot sell or lease the Subject Property within one year of the certificate of occupancy (CO). The Respondent holds a second owner/builder permit for the property directly to the north. On September 18 th, the Respondent stated to Mr. Checchi that he was currently living in the property to the north and that he had tenants in the Subject Property. Respondent Mr. Garry Garvey testified that on the day of the inspection, he had been working for 8-9 hours in 95 degree heat and was exhausted when he misspoke and told Mr. Checchi that he had tenants next door. What he meant to say was that the property was earmarked for his family s arrival for their annual visit and that he receives no compensation from them. He sent a letter to that effect to the Building Department on September 28, He reiterated that had not offered the property for lease and it has remained for his personal use. He went on to say that since the statute states that the structure can be for personal occupancy or personal use, he believes that he is in compliance even though he doesn t physically reside there. His has personal belongings there and he spends time there every day. He presented a letter from his neighbor stating that Mr. Garvey does in fact live in the house and that there have been no other people living on the property. Mr. DeBlois pointed out that as with the previous case, this comes down to the testimony of Mr. Garvey versus the testimony of Mr. Checchi, both of whom testified under oath. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the legality of a person having two owner/builder permits at the same time. 10:43:15 Boehning, the Board voted (3-3) to RESCIND citation CEB- Approved 7 October 26, 2015

8 #1214. Mr. Myers II, Mr. Gervasio and Mr. Clements were the opposing votes. Motion was not passed. Further discussion followed regarding whether or not the Subject Property had in fact been rented out and whether or not a Respondent is required to reside in an owner/builder property as well as the definition of occupancy. Mr. DeBlois stated that there seemed to be enough evidence to overturn the citation. 10:58:35 ON MOTION BY Mr. Gervasio, SECONDED BY Mr. Boehning, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to RESCIND citation #1214. It is noted for the record that the Respondent was present for this hearing. 10:59:40 Case # Daniel and Stacy Bridgman Mr. Checchi testified that this case began with a call from the City of Vero Beach Utilities that an illegal power connection was being removed and that there was construction going on inside the Subject Property. Upon arrival he observed a trailer full of lumber, conduit, a toilet and plumbing fixtures. He subsequently issued a stop work order and a citation for demolition or remodeling without a permit. Since that time, the Respondents have applied for a permit and it is currently under review. Respondents Mr. and Mrs. Bridgman testified that they had purchased the property from out of state, immediately began remodeling upon their arrival and were not familiar with the County building codes. A licensed electrical contractor had done some work for them but he realized later that he had not gotten a permit and has since received one. When the Respondents brought in a general contractor to look at the job, they were made aware for the first time that they would require permits and applied for them at that time. Mr. DeBlois pointed out that the Respondents admitted that there was work done without the required permits and it s just a matter of whether it was deliberate. He feels that the citation was appropriately issued. 11:05:50 CEB- Approved 8 October 26, 2015

However, she recently became aware of the lien because her name is attached to a property that her mother is trying to sell. Her husband also denied knowledge of the lien because he had come into compliance. Inspector Buck submitted three photos into evidence and testified regarding the debris at the Subject Property. Mr. DeBlois recommended acknowledging compliance and reducing the fine to administrative costs only and a release of lien to the property the Respondent s mother is selling. 11:30:07 Myers II, the Board voted unanimously (6-0) to acknowledge compliance, reduce the fine to $1700 and release the lien on the property that the Respondent s mother is selling.
