A notice of violation was issued on December 27, 2016, following the first inspection. The 4 violations at 18698 US Highway 19 N related to exterior storage, abandoned building—welfare/safety nuisance, trash/debris/lot clearing, and graffiti. The Municipal Code Enforcement Board recessed from 2:06 to 2:17 p.m. Code Enforcement 2017-02-22 11 Property photographs on December 22, 2016 showed significant graffiti on brush filled dumpster enclosure, debris, tires, and large piles of landscaping and concrete construction debris in the rear. Property photographs on February 22, 2017 showed brush in the dumpster enclosure had been set afire, graffiti on the enclosure's interior, debris, paint covering graffiti on part of the enclosure, and large piles of landscaping and concrete construction debris in the rear. Inspector Cantrell reviewed the definition of an abandoned building, which states an abandoned building is deserted by the owner and left unsecured or is not maintained. The property's last business closed in 2011; utilities remained active. The property had 3 police calls for service since 2013. Mr. Boozar said the property had been maintained by a landscaper. He said he had painted the walls and cleaned the yard a number of times and filed numerous police reports. He said he was trying to get a tenant and intended to clean the property. He said he had no knowledge re source of graffiti or who set the fire or dumped the tires, concrete construction debris or landscaping debris. He said the parking lot was lit at night and he had chains to block access. He said he lost his last tenant due to US 19 construction. He said the Police Department needed to be more vigilant and was not doing its job protecting his asset. He expressed frustration at the lack of police protection. He said he needed 60 days to clean the property. Discussion ensued with a comment that Mr. Boozar needed to stop people from dumping items on his property and suggestions that he install a temporary fence around the property or hire a security guard. Member Nycz moved to find the Respondent(s) in violation of the City of Clearwater Code as referred to in the affidavit in this case. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Inspector Cantrell recommended compliance by April 22, 2017 or a fine of$250 per day per violation be imposed. Discussion ensued regarding with the new configuration of US 19, a comment that the recommended fine was too high, a concern the violations would reoccur, and a question if the building was abandoned. Attorney Smith said Mr. Boozar was blaming the Police Department for the violations instead of accepting responsibility for maintaining his property. Code Compliance Manager Terry Teunis said abandonment of the property had created current circumstances. These types of violations would not occur if the building was occupied. The abandoned status of the property would go away once the building was leased or sold. Attorney Smith submitted composite exhibits.

NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Case 34-16 Request for Lien Reduction Dror Peled 2706 Landmark Dr. Residential Grass Parking — Harris Mr. Teunis said Dror Peled still owned the property. The City would not make a recommendation; the City recommended lien reductions in cases for properties with new investors. Daniel Peled said when the trustworthy tenants told him the Code Enforcement Inspector had clarified parking requirements and the property was in compliance, he believed them. He said the tenant had not really understood the Inspector's explanation. He said his father, himself, and the tenant had not intentionally spited the City. Dror Peled said when the City's certified letter arrived, he was sick, Baker-acted, and in the process of losing his medical license.

In response to a question, Dror Peled said his mail was delayed after he closed his office.. In response to a concern that the property owner and his representative had not visited the property to verify compliance, Daniel Peled said he thought the parking was in compliance when he drove past the property but had not truly understood City residential parking requirements. Attorney for the Board Andy Salzman said administration costs were $1,372.20. Code Enforcement 2017-02-22 21 It was felt administration costs were a sufficient penalty.

The Municipal Code Enforcement Board considered the request for reconsideration of a lien at a hearing held on February 22, 2017, and based upon the evidence presented, enters the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. After considering the request for reduction of the lien and considering that the property is now in compliance, it is evident that a reduction in the amount of the lien is appropriate in the above- referenced case. It is the Order of this Board that the lien previously imposed in the Order of the Board dated April 27, 2016, as recorded in O.R. Book 19308, Pages 406 - 407 of the public records of Pinellas County, Florida, is hereby reduced to administration costs of$1,372.20 payable to the Petitioner by March 24, 2017.
