In response to questions from Mr. Ruff, Resource Specialist Scott Kurleman said
he initially inspected 2070 Gulf-to-Say Boulevard on March 18, 2002, and issued a
Notice of Violation on March 22, 2002. The oak trees, which have been topped and
severely shaped, need to be removed and replaced. He pasted the property and mailed
notice to the property owner.
,~"'.r.'tl.,
'. ,}
~~ f~.~T
Mr. Kurleman reviewed problems resulting from poor tree care. The subject,
trees are weak'and probably will fall ifallowed to grow. He reinspected the property on
April 10; 2002, and found it not in compliance. He issued an Affidavit of Violation and
Request for Hearing on April 29. 2002. He said the business first contacted him last
week. He drove past the property today and it remains out of compliance.
Mr. Kurleman identified photographs he had taken of 2070 Gulf-to-Bay
Boulevard on March 18, 2002, and indicated the photographs are an accurate
representation of current conditions. The photographs illustrate the shade trees had
been trimmed severely. He recommended the property owner be required to file for .
permits; remove and replace the trees with 20-inch caliper healthy shade trees within 30
days or a $100 per day fine be imposed. In April 2001, staff had mailed the property
owner a courtesy letter regarding this issue. .
Mr. Ruff submitted City Exhibits 1 - 7 for 2070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard which
include photographs of the site.
Burns Thomas, one of the Oil Can Henry's franchise owners, stated employees
had trimmed the trees. He said the trees border a driveway, not a parking lot. He said
due to the abundance of asphalt surrounding the base of the trees, the trees can never
grow tall. He did not think the recommended fine was fair. He offered to work with the
City regarding the lanascaping but said he could not afford a significant expense. He
said the subject property is one of the last Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard properties with topped
trees. It was recommended the time period to comply be extended.
