PAGE 2 CODE PRESENTATION SHEET 7. Brief description: a. June 7, 2002 the Building Department posted the property at 387 Skate Rd with a Stop Work Order for work being conducted without the proper permits or inspections. Mrs. Hector had converted a l Oft X 17ft shed located in her backyard into a 22ft X 17ft (374 Sq Ft) apartment. b. June 28, 2002 the Building Department re -posted the Stop Work Order after discovering that the original Order had been removed and that work was continuing. c. July 7, 2002 a joint inspection was conducted by the Building Department and Code Enforcement Officer, the Stop Work Order had been removed once more. Mrs. Hector was issued a work list by the Building Department and the property was re -posted with a Stop Work Order d. July 17, 2002 the Code Enforcement Officer discovered that the. Stop Work Order had been removed and that the violations were still unresolved. A formal Notification of Violation was issued to the tenant Mrs. Hector shared her home with. e. Mrs. Hector and her brother met with the Building and Zoning Department several times in an effort to resolve the violations, but failed to follow through. f. July 24, 2002 electrical power and water were secured by the Building Department. g. September 9, 2002 Mrs. Hector approached the City Commission to express her case, Mrs. Hector told to apply for a variance for her shed, Code Enforcement action curtailed pending Community Development Board decision. h. November 8, 2002 because several violations remained unresolved, and no variance had been applied for, a second Notification of Violation was drafted and mailed Certified Return Receipt, but was returned on December 4, 2002 i. December 4, 2002 notification was hand delivered to Mrs. Hector By the Code Enforcement Officer. j. December 30, 2002 Mrs. Hector applied for and received permission to make partial payments in applying for a variance for her shed. k. May 20;2003 in Mrs. Hector's presence, the Community Development Board denied her request and told her she had 30 days to make -the shed as original. Written confirmation of the boards decision were mailed certified return receipt on June 3, 2003 and June 24, 2004, both were returned for non-delivery. 1. July 23, 2003 after several attempts to deliver the Community Development Orders, both letters were posted at Mrs. Hectors Residence. m. July 24, 2003 Inspection of the property revealed that the posted letters had been removed. n. July 30, 2002 Atlantic Beach Police hand delivered copies of Community Development Order to Mrs. Valda Hector. 8. The latest inspection was made August 12, 2001 as a result of following up on the original.complaint(s). 9. The violations involving the non -permitted enlargement of the shed are still present X . 10. In order to achieve compliance, it is necessary to correct all of the violations and maintain the property: By making the existing shed as original by removing the section that was added on 11. 1 do X do not have photographs of the property and violations as they existed on the property. They represent a fair and accurate representation of the property at the time they were taken. 12. 1 would estimate that 7 days would be sufficient time to correct the violations. PAGE 3 CODE PRESENTATION SHEET 13. Further Comments: 14 Summary: The Code Enforcement Officer, Building Department and Zoning Department have been working with Mrs. Hector for over a year, she has yet to bring her property into full compliance, stop work orders were removed, and work continued until it became necessary for the Building Department to secure the power and water on July 24, 2002. She has ignored the Community Development Board's Orders and has refused to accept correspondence mailed to her residence. 15 Recommendations: That Mrs. Hector be directed to make the shed as original within 7 days and that the City of Atlantic Beach be directed to contract for the demolishment of the shed if Mrs. Hector fails to bring it into compliance after the 7th day. That all costs for the shed's removal be charged to Mrs. Hector at a cost of the contracted price plus a charge equal to 100% of the cost of the work to cover the City's administrative costs. Should Mrs. Hector correct the violation after the 71h day but before contracted services can commence demolition, I recommend that she be fined $250.00 per day for every day past 7 seven days.. Furthermore I recommend that Mrs. Hector be assessed the full administrative costs of conducting this hearing ($820:89), per Florida Statute 162.07 (2) and that all fines and administrative fees be paid within 30 days. If not paid within 30 days after receipt of billing, the invoice amount plus advertising costs will be posted as a lien on the property.
