Myrtle Avenue Development ~ Wright Board Secretary Diana read the Affidavit of Violation & Request for Hearing. In response to a question..property owner Stephen Beneke stated he did not agree with all the violations. . In response to questions from Attorney Bryan Ruff, Inspector Bill Wright said the initial inspection of the property was on September 12, 2002. During the inspection, he found subsidence on the east and north walls and rear of the structure. Mr. Wright said as the rear portion of the building is only 15 feet from the Pinellas Trail, the situation creates a health and safety issue. There is a large crack and the stucco is falling from the building. Mr. Wright said the only action taken by the property owner was ~ soil analysis provided to the City on January .23, 2003. No permits have been applied for or issued. When contracted, Mr. Beneke indicated he still was getting bids from contractors. Mr. Ruff submitted City Exhibits 1-7, which included photographs of the property. Mr. Wright recommended the property owner obtain all permits within 14 days and complete the work within 30 days or a $250 a day fine for each day the violation continues to exist. . Mr. Beneke gave a brief chronological history of his attempts to come into compliance. He said a masonry contractor, also an engineer, inspect.ed the building and said the building was safe and not in peril of collapsing. He had a soil analysis test done . to determine the stability of the structure. The report indicates there is bad fill in two areas of the property. It was suggested placing pin piles in areas where the property' is sinking and jacking the building up to level, filling the voids with concrete, and reconstructing some of the masonry with steel. Mr. Beneke noted the difficulties he has had in finding someone to do the worle He said he received the plans this morning. Mr. Beneke said he did not know if 30-60 days would be adequate to obtain the permits and complete the repairs. Mr. Beneke said the engineer who has agreed to perform the work has indicated the building is safe and the flaking of the stucco does not affect the Code Enforcement 2003-05~28 . 2 5/28/03 . . . building's stability. He said the masonry work cannot be done until repairs have been made to the structure. In response to a question, Mr. Beneke said he thought his engineer would be willing to write a letter to the City stating the building is safe. Mr. Wright said the City might accept the engineer's opinion regarding the status of the buildIng, however, due to . its proximity to the Pinellas Trail, some of the loose stucco could become a safety ha'zard if not addressed immediately. In response to a question, Mr. Beneke said he has circulated four bids for repair work but has not received responses. He said he did not know how long it would take to make the repairs. In response to a question, Inspector Wright said if the property owner has sealed engineering plans, he should be able to obtain a permit within one day after an . inspection of the property. Mr. "'Jright suggested that the area near the Pinellas Trail be , secured while the' repair work is being done.
