City of Clearwater
Municipal Code Enforcement Board Meeting Minutes May 27, 2026
No one was present to represent the Respondent.
Inspector Larsen provided a PowerPoint presentation. He said he is
seeking an updated order for compliance as this property has already
been found in violation of code for unsafe building in February 2020. The
2020 order authorized the City to enter onto the property and correct the
violation as needed. He said since time has passed, the City is seeking
to update the authorization. He said the property is used as a transient
camp and there is debris all over the yard. The back wall of the house is
completely ripped off.
Assistant City Attorney Jerrod Simpson said the City is asking for
authority to enter the property and demolish the structure. The cost of the
demolition would become a lien on the property. He said the 2020 order
was issued a few years ago and it is better to have another hearing and
make it clear that the City is seeking a remedy.
In response to a suggestion, Building Official Kevin Garriott said even if
the City was able to pursue foreclosure action, the property is still unsafe
and needs to be cleaned up.

Clearwater Code as referred to in the affidavit in this case. The motion

and fees remain unpaid, the City Attorney's office is authorized to
foreclose, collect or settle such lien using any legal or equitable
remedies available under the law. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.

Municipal Code Enforcement Board Meeting Minutes May 27, 2026
she was in contact with the contractor and the Planning and Development
Assistant Director this morning to make sure the permits are in the
process. She said there are old permits they are waiting to be voided out
of the system so they can pursue new and corrected permits. She said all
projects were under separate permits and those need to be voided so all
projects can be processed under one permit.
Inspector Reese said the scope of work was included in the Board order
at the first hearing. She said a permit has been submitted for but no
required documents were uploaded for review. She said she has not had
any contact with the property tenants, but has been in contact with the
property owner and their attorney.
In response to a question, the Board Secretary said notice of hearing was
mailed to City Square LLC in Chicago, IL.
Mr. Te//o said he has been in constant contact with the Planning
administrative staff regarding the permits. He said the underlying issue is
an ineffective process that negatively impacts citizens.
Building Official Kevin Garriott said this issue has been going on for
years. All levels of staff have met with the tenants on several occasions
and any documents submitted for the permit are rejected because the
documents are garbage. He said staff have done everything possible for
the tenants to come into compliance.
