He referred to minutes of past meetings dated March 2, 1993 aryl November 5, 1991 (attached hereto and made a part hereof). He passed out photographs which had been taken in 1991, 1992, and 1994. ~~' When it was questioned why the fine for the second offense was $500 it was explained that after the second offense the fine can be increased to 5500 per day. Minutes, Page 3 Code f]iforcamnt Board n When asked when the property was inspected Mr. Grunewald reported the property had been inspected today, January 3, 1995. He reported there was another vehicle on the property. He also indicated the property had not been cut, but that miscellaneous tires and fire rims that had been on the property had since been placed on the czrport. Mr. Grunewald referred to Section 21-24(1)b. of the City's Code and indicated Mr. Thomas was not cited for this particular code but that he was in violation (copy of code attached herewith and made a part hereof). Thomas Jack.9on, 463 Irex, examined the photographs and a lenghtly discussion ensued regarding the amount of cars that were in violation. He provided the board with copies of insurance for the Vehicles that were currently tagged and insured. Following discussion, it was determined six Vehicles including the tow truck Mr. Jackson used for his business were located at the property. It was determined the tow truck was not to be included in the discussion. Aside fran the Vehicles, Mr. Jackson was asked why tires and debris were allowed to acctmulate on the property. Mr. Jackson felt he was being judged for pictures that were taken in November rather than pictures that were taken January 3, 1995. Mr. Jackson explained the house caught fire in September or October and that he had not spent much time living in the house. He explained he did not go to his house fora time but ~ that naa he did qo to his house. Mr. Jackson explained he was not living in the house in November. It was deterrni.ned the 1990 Cavalier, 1973 Volkswagon Bug, and the 1971 Red Roadster had current tags and licenses. It was determined that the 1971 Bradley GT and the 1976 Trans AM did not have current tags. The Trans AM was under the carport aryl thus was not in violation. Mr. Thomas advised he was applying for a title for the Bradley GT. It was determined the Bradley GT was the only car that was in rwn-ca~liance. Mr. Jackson advised that by tanormw he would have afire for the Gradley GT and he would be able to put it in the shed. When asked if the blue Volkswagon was the same car as was photographed in 1991 Mr. Jackson explained it was not the same car. The car from 1991 had been destroyed. Mr. Jackson felt that he was being picked on by the city and that there were others in the neighborhood that were in non-cacq~liance. It was explained if Mr. Jackson wished to make a canplaint against someone he should cane to the city hall and fill out a oom~laint form. It was explained the city had had a problem delivering notices to Mr. Jackson because there was a vicious dog and it was not possible to get into the yard to deliver a notice. Mr. Jackson explained he was a mechanic and that he worked at a towing business on Levy Road. Minutes, Page 4 Code IIlforcamnt Board n Follaaing discussion, it was explained to Mr. Jackson that there were three problems: storage, debris, and high grass. It was explained to Mr. Jackson that the Board wished to treat him fairly but that they did not wish the situation to occur again. The Board explained to Mr. Jackson that he should work with the Code Enforcamrit Officers to make sure catpliance was achieved. Mr. Jackson explained he had made an effort to speak to the Code Enforcement Officer, but that he was told the matter was out of the hands of the Code Enforcement Officer and had been turned over to the Board. A motion was made, seoocdcxi, girl passed to furl Than3s Jackson in violation of Sectien 24-163 (4) - jurilced vr'11ic1es on ar near c~.ellirxi twits; Suction 12-1-7 - oiler: storage of°batiu`~u motor vehicles; Soctiori 24-104 - msidr ;al zosting. junk yard, and open storage not pcrnutted. A discussion ensued on whether or not to impose a fine on Mr. Jackson arxi it was felt if Mr. Jackson was found in violation again a fine should be installed that would autanatically begin the day he was found to be in violation. This fine would be for the same violation, only. When asked how long it would take to reach ccn~liance Mr. Jackson felt five days would be enough time to clear the property oral Mr. Grunewald concurred. Mr. Jackson added that he would get a fire for the Bradley and put it back in the shed. A motion was made, seardcici, aryl passed to give Mr. Jack.~i tmtil 9:00 a. m.

Future violations will result in a fine of ;500 per day from tYic date of notice of the violation until the p**n•*+; is brought into oaiplianoe. Mr. Martin explained to Mr. Jackson that the Board had deliberately not fined him. It was the desire of the Board to work with Mr. Jackson and give him time to get into crnq~liance, he added, and if he did not get into cac~liance there would be a very heavy fine. He explained if non canpliance was realized in the future the fine would kick in the day Mr. Jackson was notified.

Board Members Comments At this time Coamissioner Suzanne Shaughnessy asked permission to speak to the Board regarding Proposed ordinances which had been voted down at recent cannission meetings. She explained Ed Martin, Chairnan of the Code Enforcanent Board, had attended a Code Enforcement seninar aryl discussions were held at the seminar concerning the two ordinances being the vehicle by which some cities were able to get a better level of compliance; and that was the spirit in which the ordinances were introduced. She explained she was asked by Mayor Fletcher to chair a coimiittee of not more than eight members to study the possibility of the city having a method to require people to physically keep up their ~, pzoperty in Atlantic Beach. She explained it was suggested issues contained in the two ordinances under discussion would be addressed by the camdttee, and that both tenant occupied aryl owner occupied properties would be addressed. She indicated she would like input fran the board, and she invited members of the Board to atterxl the crnndttee meetings•and~to indicate if there was any additional legislation they felt would help, and also to indentify what the board felt were problem areas. Alan Jensen explained msnbers of the Board would be able to meet with the catmitte and participate in discussions. Carmissioner Shaughnessy indicated it was her intent to make the job easier for the Code Enforcenerrt Board. There being no further business Qiairmazr Martin adjourned the meeting at 9:30 p. m. G. E. Martin Chairman Code Enforcement Board 9~ Page Three Minutes - Code Enforcement Board March 2, 1993 ke Ashourian indicated he had owned the property for out one ye r and said that the mini-warehouse had been in exist nce about twe ty years and he thought cars had been parked in a area now bean used for storage during that time. Mr. Ashou ian felt the zoning of the property was such that mini-wareho es would be a permitt d use. He asked for direction regar ing having the property rezoned or securing a variance which ould allow mini- Following n tification of the violation Mr. Ashourian said he had instructed h manager at that facility t write to the owners of the buses and~sk that they be removed. Don Ford expla ed the zoning was anged on the property in question in 1982. The owner that t e pulled a permit a started construction so th t he would beg ndfathered in when the zoning changed. Construc on was never completed so the operation of mini-warehouses was t grandfa ered in at that location. Mr. Ashourian indic~ who has stored their contact the vehicle Following further disc Ashourian an additional stored in the resident leases with the eight individuals sere. He requested adequate time to get the vehicles removed. Edward Martin moved to allow Mr. da s to remove the abandoned vehicles .str~i.ct and bring the property into compliance, and rep rt back to ~he board at its next meeting regarding his plans for rezoning.\f` The motion was seconded by Heywood Dowling and; following brie \ iscussion, was unanimously approved. Suzanne G~~yy~en reported Mr. Wiles had rectified ~the problem and was now in cgcf~pliance with the city code. No action was necessary from the boaff{d. Heywood Dowling read the case hearing procedure for Case No. 0024; Thomas L. Jackson, the only witness, had been sworn in earlier. Page Four Minutes - Code Enforcement Board March 2, 1993 Suzanne Green reported Mr. Jackson was charged with storing abandoned and junk vehicles in a residential district at 463 Irex Road. She explained this was the second time Mr. Jackson had appeared before the board for a similar violation and recommended that a fine be imposed. Karl Grunewald distributed photographs of the abandoned vehicles on the property. He said it was difficult to tell exactly how many vehicles were involved since some of them were covered by canvas but appeared to be inoperable and abandoned, and,~further he and Mr. Ford had been denied access to the property. Mr. Grunewald also inquired regarding how many vehicles could be stored on residential property before it would be considered a violation. Mr. Jackson felt that his vehicles were not junk and were not abandoned. He indicated his vehicles were covered and were parked on concrete. Edward Martin inquired into the status of the vehicles that were under cover and asked Mr. Jackson whether it was his intent to repair and sell the vehicles. Mr. Jackson indicated he enjoyed tinkering with vehicles; these were his personal vehicles and he did not intend to sell them. Mr. Dowling inquired whether the vehicle in the back yard was there the last time he appeared before the board. Mr. Jackson said that it was not. Mr. Dowling felt it was unfair to the neighbors to park a car in a back yard for long periods of time. Discussion then ensued regarding the exact nature of the violation and it was determined Mr. Jackson owned four vehicles which were inoperable as follows: 1980 Gold Chevrolet Beretta, 1973 Blue Volkswagen Bug, 1968 Hlue Volkswagen Bug, and 1973 Red Bradley GT. Mr. Martin felt Mr. Jackson did not take seriously the work of the board. He felt the situation had not changed since the last hearing and he suggested Mr. Jackson either bring the vehicles into compliance or remove them. Following further discussion, Mr. Dowling moved to require Mr. Jackson to either remove or bring the four vehicles which had been specifically identified as abandoned, into compliance by March 15, subject to 550.00 per day fine. The motion was seconded by Kathleen Russell. Following brief discussion, the question was called and the motion was approved on a 6 - 1 vote with George Bull voting nay. Mr. Jackson said it would be impossible for him to be in compliance by March 15 and requested additional time to comply with city Page Five Minutes - Code Enforcement Board ~ March 2, 1993 codes. in response to a question from Mr. Martin, Mr. Jackson said he needed at least thirty days to come into compliance. Edward Martin made a substitute motion to allow Mr. Jackson 45 days to either bring the abandoned vehicles into compliance or remove them from the property, or be sub3ect to a 550.00 per day fine. The motion was seconded by Mr. Venn and was approved on a 4 - 3 vote with Suzanne Shaughnessy, Heywood Dowling, and Kathleen Russell voting nay. 5s Board Member Comments There being no further discussion, Mr. Bull declared the meeting adjourned at 9:05 PM.

This case was withdrawn from the agenda. 4 D Case No 0024 - Thoiras-L--~7eckaon--rowner of vroaerty located at 463 Irex Road, in'violation of Citv Ordinance Section 12-1(7) unlawful of abandoned vehicles. Mr. Dowling read the case hearing procedure and all witnesses were sworn in. Ms. Hass presented her case by stating that the violations had reoccurred several times. She stated that three vehicles on the property were not licensed, had no tags and were inoperable. Mr. Ford gave the history of the case which dated back to 6/20/91. He stated the dunk vehicles had been stored on the right of way and in the yard. Mr. Ford reported he had notified Mr. Jackson, in writing, on June 27, 1991 which indicated that the property was in violation and requested that he contact him. The notice gave Mr. Jackson 30 days to be in compliance with the City Code. Mr. Ford submitted to the board photographs which were taken on this date. The photos showed two vehicles in the back yard which in July were in the front yard. Mr. Jackson presented one of two letters he had received from Mr. Ford. He explained that the first letter he received mentioned one dunk vehicle. The second letter he received said "unlawful storage of abandoned vehicles". Mr. Jackson explained that one vehicle tagged by Mr. Ford had been moved and he did not know what other vehicles Mr. Ford thought were in violation. He stated that he was a mechanic on the side. Of the three vehicles Mr. Ford indicated, Mr. Jackson stated one did have a tag, a 1976 ~'`, Regal. He explained the Volkswagen Bug did not have a transmission and his Code Enforcement Board Meeting November 5, 1991 ~ Page 5 intentions were to repair it and the Nova did not belong to him and was no longer there. Ms. Bass questioned Mr. Jackson about being a mechanic at his property on Irex Road and asked if he had an occupational license with the City. Mr. Jackson stated he buys vehicles and repairs and sells them. Ms. Hass asked for clarification of his reply. Mr. Jackson was advised that he was required to be permitted with the City to operate a business out of his home. Mr. Jackson felt that buying one vehicle and selling it was not a business. Ms. Bass asked if Mr. Jackson had ever tried to contact Mr. Ford regarding the letter of violation which dated June 27, 1991. He responded that he had attempted once but was unable to reach Mr.Ford. Mr. Ford said his office did not have a record of this call. Mr. Jackson stated after receiving the first letter he had cleaned up the property and did not hear further from the Mr. Ford. Then he received the Notice of Hearing in October saying he was in violation and was being brought before the board. He felt that he had never been advised on which vehicles were in violation. Ms. Bass clarified the status of each vehicle. The volkswagen had not been tagged since 1985 and 1976 Regal did not have a current license plate. Mr. Hull asked for comments from the board. Mr. Martin questioned Mr. Jackson about the two vehicles which were being called dunk. Mr. Jackson responded that the two vehicles in the yard were not legally tagged, and one of the vehicles, the volkswagen, was not visible. Mr. Martin said at 5:00 PM this evening, he could see the two vehicles from the street without difficulty. Mr. Jackson stated once the transmission was installed in the volkswagen then he would hand it over to his nephew in Kentucky, during Spring break. He stated he would sell the Regal for parts. Mr. Martin asked Mr. Jackson if in the past, he had ever bought any vehicles, did repairs and then sold the vehicle. Mr. Jackson said no. Mr. Dowling asked if all vehicles were operable and Mr. Jackson responded they were. There was brief discussion on how many vehicles were on the property, whether they were operable and who owned them. Two of the six were not currently licensed, but Mr. Jackson stated they were operable. Mr. Bull suggested that Mr. Jackson take the time and meet with Mr. Ford to determine which vehicles were in violation and what action could be taken ~ to correct the problem. Code Enforcement Board Meeting November 5, 1991 n Page 6 Mr. Dowling asked if the ordinance allowed the City to remove unlicensed vehicles whether or not they were operable. Mr. Ford responded that they are be tagged with a 10 day notice and are towed unless they are undercover. If the vehicle is stored underneath a carport it was considered to be uncovered. Mr. Hull advised Mr. Jackson to store the vehicles under the carport to prevent them from being towed. Mr. Sull moved that the City had not presented to the Board that f unk and/or abandoned vehicles were on this premises. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Dowling moved that the two unlicensed vehicles be removed within 10 day. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Martin moved that Mr. Jackson remove or change status of the two vehicles in question within 30 days, and second, Mr. Jackson is to work witti~l~tr. Ford and take whatever affirmative action necessary to bring this property into compliance with the City Code. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moller and carried on a 4 to 1 vote with Mr. Bull voting nay. Mr. Bull instructed Ms. Strain, Secretary, to type an order and mail it certified mail to Mr. Jackson as soon as possible, so that he knew exactly what the board expected to be done. Ms. Bass re rted that the reason this ppeared on the agenda was because of the contro sy at the last meeting n the definition of a dunk vehicle. She canvased s ounding cities t obtain their definition of dunk vehicles. Ms. Str n had mailed a py of those findings earlier to each Hoard member. Ms. Ba thought th Board could to use these definitions in a common sense mane along th the facts the Board hears from the alleged violators and Mr. rd, make the determination. Mr. Hull stated he would rather see it in th dinance. Ms. Bass suggested the Board ask the City Commission to amend code. Mr. Dowling agreed that a dunk vehicles was needed. p e because of their individuality. He s id on a ride around .the Ci one would see that this problem was not li ted to a couple of people. Mr. Bull suggeste a letter be given to the City Commissi stating "90$ of our cases deal w th dunk vehicles and we do not have a fi ~ efinition of of the law pertaining to Mr. Martin thought the efinition such as "a~nk vehicle is unlicensed and inoperable" would ca sea roblem with each c TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLES § 21.25 in violation of (set forth ordinance or regulation violated) and must be removed within ten (10) days or, if the property is a boat, thirty (30) days from date of this notice; otherwise it shall be presumed to be abandoned property and will be removed and destroyed by order of the City of Atlantic Beach.
