6. Other Board Action
6.1 Case 111-17 - Consider request by petitioner(s) Ibrahim Ghobrial at 1445 S Missouri Ave.
to reduce the fine re Exterior Surfaces & Abandoned Building; and if approved, issue an order that
specifies a fine that includes administration costs and establishes a date payable or the lien will

Attorney Fuino requested the Board approve a Stipulation and Agreement
for Petitioner Ibrahim Ghobrial and the buyer, the property will be sold by

the fine will be reduced to $10,000. If all terms of the agreement are not
met, the lien will revert to its original lien amount of approximately$74,000.
After consultation with Mr. Ghobrial's attorney re his financial situation, the
Page 10
City of Clearwater
Municipal Code Enforcement Board Meeting Minutes April 24, 2019
reduced fine seemed to be in the best interest of all.
Member Carothers moved to approve the Stipulation and Agreement
for Petitioner Ibrahim Ghobrial at 1445 S Missouri Ave. for Case 111-
17. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
6.2 Case 167-17 - Consider request by respondent(s) Asem Hasan at 1105 Court St to reduce
the fine re Signage; and if approved, issue an order that specifies a fine that includes administration
costs and establishes a date payable or the lien will revert to its original amount. (Knight)
Petitioner Asem Hasan said following the hurricane, he signed a Stipulation
and Agreement to repair damaged signs. He said he was under the
impression one sign adhered to the agreement and then learned it was non
conforming. He said the replacement sign conformed with Code, however
the sign company did not obtain a permit. He said he removed the subject
sign and will have it reinstalled once a permit is obtained. He requested
the lien amount be reduced to administration costs.
Attorney Fuino said the City did not support a fine reduction to administration
costs as the Stipulation and Agreement expired on December 31, 2018 and
was given an extension that was not met, voiding it. He expressed concern
reducing the fine to administration costs after a Stipulation and Agreement
was voided would establish a precedent.
Attorney for the Board Andy Salzman reported administration costs were
$2,223.20 and the lien amount was $133,500.
Discussion ensued regarding a fine.
Mr. Hasan said he had tried to cooperate. He said he was not prepared for a
fine higher than administration costs.
In response to a suggestion, Attorney Fuino said the City would support a
lien reduction to $5,000. He submitted composite exhibits.
Member Prast moved to enter an order reducing the amount of the lien
for Case 167-17 to $5,000, inclusive of administration costs, payable
within 60 days or the lien will revert to its original amount. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

Gangelhoff at 400 N. Garden Ave.
