Ttle Chair called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall.
To provide continuity for research, items are In agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in that order.
.
. The Chair outlined the procedures and stated any aggrieved party may appeal
a final administrative order of the Municipal Code Enforcement Board to the Circuit
Court of Pinellas County within thirty (30) days of the execution of the order.
Florida Statute 286.0105 requires any party appealing a decision of this Board to
have a record of the proceedings.
ITEM #1 - Public Hearin~
Assistant City Attorney Leslie Dougall-Sides recommended the MCEB
(Municipal Code Enforcement Board) hear Cases 31-00, 32-00, 33-00, 34~OO. 35-
. 00, 36-00, and 37-00 together. Attorney Glenn Smith. representative for the sign
owners. agreed. As the property owner for each item is different. discussion related
to specific casas is reported separately.
Ms. Dougall-Sides reviewed City efforts to reduce signage blight. In 1985.
the City Commission approved an ordinance to change the dimensional requirements
of signs. which includod a 7-year amortization period requiring signs to be in
compliance or be removed by October 1982. A 1988 ordinance addressed
excoptions on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and also provided a 7-year amortization limit
with a compliance deadline of January 19. 1996. The City Commission repealed
the. previous Land Development Code and approved the Community Development
Code in 1999. The new Code includes a section listing transitional rules, which
indicate signs are subject to amortization provisions existing in the previously
adopted Land Development Code.

Ms. Dougall-Sides reported the sign company has filed a lawsuit against the
. City related to these signs and 'the Circu!t Court is' hearing litigation. In response to
a question, she said the City contends both the old and new codes address the
violations. The sign company has presented arguments to the Circuit Court, which
will rule on that Issue.. The City Commi~sion had directed staff to pursue
compliance issues regarding sign regulations and enforce the Ordinance, which the

Mr. Smith made legal arguments the billboards do not violate the Code. He
said the billboards were legally constructed. Concern was expressed Mr. Smith is
requesting the board to ignore all previous ordinances prohibiting billboards that
provided amortization periods. Ms. Dougall-Sides said since the City adopted the
related sign ordinances, the billboards have never been considered a valid
nonconforming use. The City provided an amortization schedule to allow the sign
companies to recoup their investments. Ms. Fox continued to defer Mr. Smith's
questions to the legal staff.

on the City's permit requirements when they constructed the billboards and feel
their rights are vested. The City rejected the application on September 8, 2000.

In response to questions from Ms. Dougall-Sides, Ms. Fox said she had
Inspected, the subject property on April 13, 2000, after review of the amortization
file developed by previous staff, and observed the billboard, which violates the
Community Development Code. Notice of Violation was issued on April 28, 2000,
Citing the nuisance section of the Development Code, mailed certified, by regular
mail, and posted on the property and at City Hall.
This property was reinspected on June 6, 2000, and remained in violation as
the billboard had not been removed. An affidavit of violation and request for hearing
was issued on August 1, 2000. Ms. Fox said she had not been in contact with the
lessee follow'ng the citation. She said the property owner had expressed concern a
long-term lease with the sign company prevented him from removing the billboard.
Ms. Fox identified City Exhibit 7 as photographs she had taken of the billboard on
the subject property on April 13, 2000 and after the posting on April 28, 2000.'
She stated she had visited the property today and that the photographs are an
, accurate representation of current conditions. She recommended the property be
found in violation' and to provide the property owner and lossee 30 days to bring the
property into compliance before imposing a $ 250 a day on each party until
compliance is made.
Ms. Dougall-Sides submitted City Exhibits 1 - 17.
\," ' In response to a question, Ms. Fox repo'rted the subJ' ect billboard, set back
r,,;,',.) more than 5 feet from the right-of-way, is about 40 feet tall. The face of the
billboard is greater than 400 square feet.
Herbert E. Wollowick, property owner, said he would like to be in compliance
but his lease with the sign company does not allow him to remove the sign. He
indicated the sign company contract does not expire until 2005. He felt it was
unfair to punish the property owner.
In response to a question, Ms. Blass said the City had issued a permit to
construct this billboard on June 6, 1 984. She said the lease agreement remains in
effect. Mr. Smith noted the billboard is east of US 19N.

Tracy Robbins, representative for Car Spa Clearwater, also objected to a
citizen's request to address the board. He indicated the contract with the sign
company expires in June 2003 and the fjrm will have the billboard removed by
., .
September 1, 2003. The property owner would be subject to litigation from the
sign ~ompany if the billboard was removed while under contract. He reviewed
problems related to his' firm's acquisition of the property, indicating staff had not
. . .
disclosed information related to problems with the billboards before the sale was
closed. He requested the property owner not be punished. He said Car Spa has
delayed developMent of the site until it receives assurances' that the billboard will
not cause additional problems. He said a fine against the property owner would
affect the firm's abllity to get financing and to market the property. He submitted a
copy of the site plan approval application for Car Spa Clearwater as an exhibit.

A.' Case 26-98 ~ Addressing Board re fine
Bill V. & Sophia Stathopoulos.
1975 Drew Street
(Building) - Scott
Sophia Stathopoulos said due to personal problems, she did not realize fines
on the property were accruing. The fine is now approximately $33,000. .
Ed Armstrong, representative, said Ms. Stathopoulos had thought she was in
compliance after pulling pe~mits to renovate 'a building. She had unknowingly hired
. an unlicensed contractor whom 'she rl!lplaced upon learning his certification was
deficient. The project is com~lete and had a final inspection in November 1999.
"
~'.\
L
Ms. Stathopoulos reviewed mortgage, tank removal, and other problems
related to the property that had occurred since the death of her husband in 1994.
Stephanie Stathopoulos stated her mother had been overwhelmed after the death of
her father.

Mr. Armstrong requested relief. He said Ms. Stathopoulos had felt she had

Inspector Robert Scott said the property owner knew the property was not in
compliance since August 1999. He recommended the fine be reduced but not
eliminated due to City costs. Staff has spent more than 2 years of effort related to
this case. He recommended the fine be reduced to $1,500. Discussion ensued
regarding problems Mrs. Stathopoulos had encountered and her delay in addressing
this issue' in a timelier manner.
