21:23One focus of the meeting was case number 24-91 CB involving the property on Prairie Lake Drive, owned by Lever and Henry Jones. Code enforcement officer Cameron Adair outlined the ongoing issue of abandoned or junk vehicles at the location. Initial inspections in June 2024 revealed an RV and a silver Cadillac in disrepair, characterized by flat tires and overgrown vegetation. While the Cadillac was eventually removed, the RV remained. The board required the RV to be operable by February 7, 2025, or the owners would incur a daily fine of $100. A granddaughter of the property owners explained that her brother lived in the RV, highlighting potential additional violations since RVs are classified as separate dwellings. The board stressed the need to demonstrate the RV’s operability by moving it, with efforts to secure the necessary documentation confirmed by the granddaughter. The board unanimously approved the staff’s compliance recommendation.

0:10Another prominent case was 24-71 CB, concerning Trinity and Joshua Bailey’s property on Langford Drive in Chulota, Florida. Code Enforcement Officer Hill presented evidence of rubbish and uncultivated vegetation, in violation of Seminole County Code Chapter 95. Initial inspections began in December 2023, with multiple notices issued. Despite some progress, rubbish persisted, leading to a recommendation for compliance by February 7, 2025. The board set a daily fine of $100 for rubbish and $50 for vegetation if compliance was not achieved. Mr. Bailey expressed confidence in resolving the issues within the timeline. The board accepted the staff’s recommendation, emphasizing the structured approach to upholding property maintenance laws.

21:23Another notable case involved Jeffrey Menion’s property on Heritage Oaks Court, Oviedo, discussed under case number 24-96 CB. Officer Hill reported that a previous uncultivated vegetation violation had been resolved, with the property compliant as of January 10, 2025. This prompted an order to prevent future violations, with a potential fine of $50 per day. However, another case, 24-97 CB, highlighted a continuing issue with a junk vehicle on the same property. The vehicle, noted for flat tires and expired decals, required removal or repair by February 7, 2025, to avoid fines. The board’s deliberations underscored the importance of addressing multiple violations at one location.

37:14In addition to these cases, the board examined case number 24-98 CB, again involving Jeffrey Menion, this time focusing on a deteriorating fence. Despite multiple inspections, the fence remained non-compliant, prompting a recommendation for repair or removal by February 7, 2025, with a $100 daily fine for failure to comply. The respondent acknowledged the need for action, agreeing to meet the deadline.

Moreover, case 24-16 CB involved SG Group Korea LLC on West State Road 434, with rubbish left by a previous tenant. Language barriers posed challenges during the discussion, but the representative assured the board that steps would be taken to clear the property and hire a cleaning company. Compliance was required by February 6, 2025, or a $100 daily fine would be imposed. The board accepted the staff’s recommendation unanimously.
