Officer Rodriguez for the address of 10 10 Shady Maple Circle in Ocoee On March 25th, 2024, we receive a web form complaint for the above-mentioned, um, address, having the property of fence and pavers installed without require permit as per the city ordinance on April the first of 2024 fourth, I observed the fence and pavers installation with the Google photo of the property. A notice of violation was mailed to Grays Mark, senior at 10 10 Shady Maple Circle Ocoee as identified by the Orange County property appraisal for the violation of the ordinance number, chapter 51, section 51 dash 13. They were given up to April, April 22nd, 2024. The owner came to the office and met with Justin, providing the property owner, uh, my contact information and also directed the person to the building department. On April the 23rd of 2024. I inspected with building department assisting, finding it not in compliance with the city. May 22nd, 2024, the case was continued to be on June's board meeting and notice of continuance was mailed. As of today is not in compliance with the city, it is the city recommendation of 20 days to come into compliance. Thereafter be as says $25 per day, if not in compliance, that will be July 15th, 2024. Excuse Me, did you say July 13th? July 15th. Oh, 15th. Here we have the picture. If you wanna observe Which property is it the one with the red circle? Yes, that's correct. Fence and pavers Is, Aren't the other properties already rounded, surrounded by a fence as well? I can't, I can't hear you. Aren't the other properties rounded, surrounded by a fence as well? Um, well, not, the back to back is not, they don't have a fence. The side one has a fence. Okay. So the violation just for not getting the permit? Yes, that's correct. What happened when they applied for the permit? You said April 23rd? Yes. What happened? They didn't get a permit again? No. And When they visited here at the office, nobody has contact me. So Have they applied for variance? No. Okay. Do we have any other pictures of the pavers or fence? Well, as you can see, the pavers are in the back. You can see the, the auto in the back and on the side they also have pavers. Okay. Do any of the other board members have any other questions? Testimony? Yeah. Yeah. If not, we have somebody here this evening that would like to speak on behalf of this violation. Is that you? Alright. Can you stand please and come over to the microphone? We're gonna need you to state your name clearly for the record. My name is Erica Grays. Welcome. Thank you. Alright, so what would you like to tell us why we, this permit hasn't been applied for or approved or what, what's the process that you're in at this point? Um, so I purchased the property, um, back in June of 2022. And when I purchased the property, it already had the fence and pavers. The, the part that attracted me the most to the property was that section, um, due to my husband having a landscaping business. Um, when we purchased it, we purchased it at is as is. No one told us that the pavers or fence was put up illegally. We didn't know, um, that has been put up there since. When I contacted the previous owner about this situation here, he told me he had been in the property a year prior to me. So I don't know who it was before me, but all the sales pictures that I captured when I purchased the property of that fence and those pavers were already there, um, I received a notice me, there's another situation. This is beyond this, actually, the property actually doesn't belong to me. That's what we found out when this came along. And so now that their attorney, I have an attorney, they have an attorney, it's an enro encroachment or something. Encroachment or something like that. Um, so I purchased a property that really didn't belong to me on that part. So now their attorney has, uh, in a notice to me saying that, um, I'm no, I, I can't touch that property. I can't do anything with that property because it belongs to them. My attorney, um, contacted me last week and told me that, um, they were gonna remove the pavers and the fence back to my line, what the survey shows. Um, so it's out of my hands. I can't even touch touch it because it's their property. It's, it's really crazy. Like I freaked out. Have you been in touch with the ko uh, zoning board? No. Um, I called, like she said, I didn't contact her and the only reason why I didn't, because my attorney said I can't talk to anyone. It, it's so confusing because she said, I can't talk to anyone. I'm saying, well, they're telling me that I need to tell someone something. She said, no, when you go to the hearing, you let them know what's going on. You can't touch that property. So it's outta your hands. We're just waiting on their attorneys to respond and get, you know, they were supposed to then take the fence down. I, I guess about two weeks ago, take the fence down and the pavers out. That's why I never had the opportunity to contact you guys back to open up a permit because now the property no longer belongs to me. Is this may be for the, um, city person, is that fence that's small section of fence in the back by those paver? Is that the part or is it the whole fence? All the way? It's the whole thing. Okay. So even if they take that small piece of fence down, they're still in violation for not getting a permit for the rest of the Fence? That's correct. Okay. Uh, however, but she moved into an existing condition. I can't hear you. Um, the homeowner moved into an existing condition. Doesn't Matter. Yes, I, I I wasn't aware that there was a new, um, what she was explaining. I wasn't, I wasn't aware about that, All that. When I came in that day and talked to this guy, this gentleman here, Justin, I think his name is, I explained all of that and he told me when I came to the hearing, that's what I needed to let everyone know. Yeah. I, when I tell you this is so new to me, I didn't understand it. Like, it's so confusing with who I deal with, who I need to talk to, what's legal, what's not. It's a lot. Well, we may, may have to, uh, get our legal counsel involved in this, uh, discussion a little bit. Uh, being the fact that she a assumed this responsibility when she, you know, assumed this, uh, situation when she purchased the, um, home, uh, how would you like to weigh in on this? Well, the problem stays with the property. Right now she's the owner of the property, but when she bought the property, she bought the problem. Mm-Hmm. I don't know what the status of the litigation might be between the old owner and the new owner, but typically when you buy a piece of property, you check the title, you make the, an analysis to see if everything is right, which apparently didn't quite work out in this case. So the violation stays with the property. Now that we have a new owner, I'm afraid she's lost the violation as well as the property. Okay. Um, what about the situation that she can't touch? She can't touch a certain part of the property. I, I'm sorry, I can't, um, her, the homeowner states that she can't touch a certain part because it's legally not hers. It seems like we're dealing with two situations and It's like there may be a property line dispute. Yeah. There may be a property line dispute my Opinion. I I, Yeah, I can't tell You that. I dunno, one way or the other. So if you wish, you could certainly continue this to see what happens in the dispute, but as I said, the violation goes with the property. Mm-Hmm. Yes. Do you understand that? I understand now that he's explaining it that way. Yes. Um, and yes, to answer your question, sir, um, we are, there's steps to it that my attorneys told me we are going after the gentleman prior to me, once I get this resolved for whatever fees or anything that I have to pay and also for some other stuff she was saying. But, um, again, if I take down that fence without the, without them, then they're coming after me. Right. 'cause they said don't touch their property. Well, what about the rest of the fence though? Would you take that down if necessary? Yes. I, well, well, I'll do whatever I need to do. I'll get a permit on it. Like me listening to you guys saying that I still have to do that part of the fence. Right. I can do that permit now. I'll let my attorney know that's what it is. So I can do that. Do we need to, um, decide whose property it is? I mean, you cited the, uh, graves for violations. Really? It's not their property. Should you be The other people? Well, well it in, in, in effect it is because what happened is the person that complained about it, I think is the back to back on the property. Mm-Hmm. So I think they took part of their property in the back. So it's based on a survey. So shouldn't they be in violation for putting pavers on their property as well then? Well, they will be, they will be responsible for what they did for putting on the property of somebody else. So that's when the complaint came in. That's why it never came. Like if the fence has been there for two years, I would never know about it. Like, like other things. But the person that's complaining, it's because they took part of their property when they put up the fence in the pavers and things like that. So my question is, um, do you have any, um, whatever the, the attorney has told you, like in question of timing? Like, so Again, about two weeks ago, my attorney said that they were gonna take the pavers up the fence up and move it to my prop, my property line. Um, but I, what I think they're doing is waiting for my hearing here. Okay. It has, it has to be that because they still haven't done it. And the thing about that is, when the, when I came in and talked to Justin the, well, like three weeks prior to me coming to talk to Justin, the property owner, she didn't even know that was her property either. We both had no idea until she tried to sell the property. And the surveying company that came out for her told her, Hey, you can't sell this property just yet 'cause that they have a part of your property. There's an encroachment here. Mm-Hmm. So that's when they reached out to me, her and her realtor. They didn't have an attorney at the time. So I contacted my title company because I'm a businesswoman and like the attorney said here, somebody should have caught something somewhere. Right? Mm-Hmm. I'm a business owner. I, I did not properly read my title or my survey information. I just assumed that I had a realtor. I hired a realtor. Mm-Hmm. I had a title company. I assumed that everybody was gonna do the, their due diligence and review it and say hey all. But they didn't. They didn't. And it's all falling on me now. So I'm willing to correct the problem. Um, because I didn't know it once, once the, the property owner didn't know either until they tried to sell the property. They bought the property in 2018. My question to her was, ma'am, did you not know when you bought your property that this property was yours? She said, I went through the same thing you did. I'm a business owner too. I don't pay attention to my paperwork. I didn't see that. She didn't know it until it was time to sell her home. But what what made her contact and put a complaint into code enforcement is because the title company wasn't mo moving fast enough. 'cause she was willing to sell me the property so that I can come down and get permits and stuff and do what I need to do. 'cause we couldn't find any permits for the fence. Mm-Hmm. Once she told us that. So I said, okay, if you're gonna sell it. So she said, I'll sell it to you. But the title company took too long to respond and she started bullying me. And I said, and the last, and I got my text messages and everything. The last text message I said to her was, please stop bullying me. I can't control the way they work. I've put in the request to resolve this issue. Please stop bullying me. And when I said that, she went crazy. She was like, oh, I, I know what to do. I'm gonna violate you. I said, well, do what you have to. I'll just respond the way I need to. And that's it. Mm-Hmm. So do you have a a do you have any idea how much time you might need to get this? Um, you know, we may be able to help you out expe, you know, expedite this by setting a date that Okay. A compliance date. So, um, well, you know, when I sometimes you gotta light of fire. Yeah. And you know, after this, that, and I'm gonna tell you, sir, this is no lie. I said after this meeting, I'm putting the pressure on someone because I just don't want this to keep going on. Especially with the violation. I, I got the notice. And, um, they did say that I'll eventually have to pay a daily fee. Yeah. Um, for, but that's after this's not gonna be now. Okay. Yeah. But I'm gonna push the, I'm gonna push the issue in the morning. I'll call first thing to my attorney and say, Hey, this is, what was this the outcome from the hearing last night? And this is what I need done. Well, I, I would make a suggestion that maybe if we, we, uh, set a, a date that maybe, you know, again, that might light the fire underneath Okay. Him to get it done. Yes, sir. And then, you know, if as long as there's forward progress, if you need to come back before the board again Mm-Hmm. We could reconsider that as well. Okay. Alright. Just have a talk about, we talk about the pavers in this picture here, there's like a fence and there's like a half of a car on a pavers. Is that the paver section? I'm, I'm, yeah. Okay. So it's, it's almost as if, so what my husband did when we first moved there, he removed, they had pavers. Like they were trying to continue a, a paver all the way through that road. That there's a street that leads to that. Yeah. Right. But it's like almo, it's almost, they stopped at some point, but they didn't finish. So, so my husband took those pavers and sat 'em on the side. That, and so it may look like there's an additional side, but there's not. He just set, those are just sitting there. Okay. So they're, they're behind that second fence then that with the ls. Let me just, this section right here, is this a section We're talking about the Pavers. I can't see You talking about this one. You don't mind if I do this here? Good. Is this a section of pavers question? Yes. Yes. This is section of pavers. Pavers, Yeah. Those, that part and the, and right inside the fence, if you go down, come, come. No down, come out, down Uhhuh. Right, right there, there, there. Go to the right. Go to the right. Right up in there. There was some papers. We moved the paver from the other side of the fence to that area. And this is the section of, That's in question. Question. Mm-Hmm. And this is the fence also. There's some questions coming down to It. Yes. You can't do anything basically from here. Nothing. What about the fence over here? I can, I, I'll go ahead and take care of it. I didn't know it was, is There any other pavers that are In? Yes. If you look right there in that, that's paved. He built a, the guy built the fire pit there. Yes. In violation too. Well, whatever pavers they have, there's no permit at all in the system at all. Yeah. So whatever, wherever they have pavers, they're in violation, Which is that area. And that, that bench, which Permit for just that section Yes. Apply. Yes. Yes. Okay. So you wouldn't have to remove those if you got a permit. Mm-Hmm. Correct. So If we, even the fence, you don't have to remove if you get the permit. Okay. I give you 30 days to fix everything. You can't touch this area and here. Okay. That might light to fire for Them. Okay. I'll give you 30 days to get a permit for this section. Okay. You might even not in that same time get a permit For the fence for the rest of the Fence. Mm-Hmm. Okay. Take Anything. Okay. I I would do that. Definitely. Yes. You ready to see that? Yeah. Sorry, Can I give a suggestion? Yes. I'm, I was gonna say a lot more than that because she's going through a legal process with this other property. I was gonna say four months to continue it. You don't trust these guys. Huh? Justin, what did you say? That's what I was gonna say. I was Sitting there thinking it's gonna take at least 90 days with all these lawyers. It's gonna take a long time. Four months. I was thinking about six Months. She's, she's between a rock and a hard place here. Yeah. But she needs to be able to tell her attorney she needs somebody to move. She gives them four months. Sure. But she's gonna wind up having to come back here and back here. Mm-Hmm. It's gonna take a while. The legal process, you know how attorneys work. You can just pick a date in October if you wanna do the four months late October or just make it for sometime. Well, the city would recommend making it the day before the October meeting, since we don't normally have a November or December meeting. That would be the 21st. October 21st. Otherwise it basically be till January. So the next meeting is October 22nd or the October meetings? October 22nd. Yeah. Be the 21st would be the day before. Okay. So this is Alright.

Officer Rodriguez for the address of 8 20 28 Hammock drive OCO on May 14, we receive a web form complaint for the above-mentioned address, having the property with furniture in front of, in front of the garage door of the property on May 16. I observed the furniture in front of the garage door. Let me show the pictures here. A notice of co violation was mailed to Laney Victoria J at 8 28 Hammocks drive in Ocoee, Florida 3 4 7 6 1 as identified by the Orange County property appraisal for the violation of the ordinance chapter 115, section 1 1 15 dash three A one. She was given until May 31st to come into compliance on June the third. I reinspected the property finding it not in compliance with the city on June 17. The notice of hearing was hand delivered to Ms. Elany as of today is not in compliance with the city, it's the city recommendation of 20 days to come into compliance. Thereafter. BS is $25 a day, if not in compliance, that will be in July 15, 20, 25, 24. And I just wanna make a small note that on June 21st in two thou 2021, there was a first notice regarding about the furnitures, but, uh, we closed the case because of the covid situation, so it came back. Alright. Do any of the board members have any questions of the officer? Go ahead and keep scrolling with the pictures. I like, I didn't know there were more That was taken care of. Okay. So it's almost the same pictures on the, uh, front of the garage. Understood. The June 21st, 2020 21 Was the same furniture issue. Um, I would have to look into the old pictures two years ago, three years ago. But it was always furniture in the front. I cannot tell you if it's exactly the same ones. I, I mean, yes. I don't know if I didn't mean the same furniture, but the issue was furniture Yes. In the front of the garage? Yes, that's correct. Yes. Is is the garage facing the street? I see the car is at an angle from the picture. I'm sorry. Is the garage facing a street? Is this, is this a corner lot? Uh, No. No. Okay. As you're not facing you're picture It's a circle of drive. It's the driveway. It's like, it goes like that and then it goes like that. Okay. So it's sideways. So it's not facing the street, it's facing an angle to Yes. Okay. Nothing else at this point. Alright. I understand that we have somebody here this evening, uh, the homeowner. Ms. Uh, Laney? Yes. Would you like to, uh, go to the microphone? Please identify yourself for the record? I'm Victoria Laney. Good evening. Good evening. I was never notified that the reason that they dropped the previous, uh, violation in June, 2021 was because of COVID. The letter I wrote gave several reasons for having the furniture where it is and, you know, it's, it, no one said anything, you know, in all these years. It had been there for many years before June, 2021. And it's been there since then. And here, the the reasons I gave in the letter, um, it says, you know, COVID appears to be abating, but Orange County still requires that masks be worn. Um, I'm entitled to have a place outdoors where I can meet with people to discuss business or socialize at a distance is encouraged by public health mandates. Now it's true, COV has abated, but there's always going to be another, uh, disease or another reason. But that was only one of, uh, three reasons. I have many friends and associates who are disabled. My house is not always able to accommodate their disabilities. Even going onto the porch is a challenge. And I had one guest fall and hit her head on the brick wall in front of the door. Um, we, we had to call the ambulance and have her transported to the hospital. Um, it's far safer to sit at a table in the driveway that does not require guests to use steps to the door. Then the third reason is that my familial status is a single woman living alone. Sometimes people want to meet with me to offer services, uh, home repair, roofing, whatever. I'm safer meeting with strangers at a table in the driveway than inviting them into my home. And then in the letter I said, therefore I plan to always have a table in chairs in my driveway. I've had similar items there for years. Please let me know if you need any paperwork to document my request for accommodations. I was never requested to give more, uh, documentation. And I, I said, uh, you know, I plan to have it in my driveway. And it's been there all these years. Now, in preparation for this hearing, I went and got, um, you know, I said, I've got a letter from my physician, uh, and it says, my patient, Victoria Laney has a medical condition which can make her suddenly dizzy. Please allow her to keep a chair and small table in her driveway for use when unloading her car and having a sudden episode of severe dizziness to avoid falling and further injuring herself. And then I have a copy of the disabled person's parking permit to, to demonstrate that it's a, you know, a chore for me. It's, it's actually a great blessing to have the table there because I can pull the car over next to it. Like you said, it is a circular driveway and I can pull the car next to it and unload things in small increments from the car and then take them, uh, gradually into the house after, you know, locking the car or, or securing things. Then I have another letter from a different, uh, doctor it, and it says, to whom it may concern, Victoria needs multiple chairs in her front yard because she needs to be able to elevate her leg as needed due to severe pain and injuries in her leg. So, um, I do maintain the property myself and sometimes I just have to sit down and elevate my leg. And, you know, sometimes I sit there and I take another dose of ibuprofen over the counter and wait for that to kick in so the pain is alleviated and then I, I keep working and go on. But, um, I'm, I'm being sincere when I say this, you're, you're risking my life if you, you don't let me have a table and at least two chairs there where I can quickly reach them if I'm working or I'm outside and I'm, I'm dizzy or I've, or I'm about to fall, or I have some other, other emergency. And I've had, um, I didn't bring 'em tonight, but I had, um, there, it needs to be specific furniture too that's really sturdy because, uh, someone sat at a like, uh, like regular lawn furniture that's mesh, you know, and sat in it and it ripped. So this particular furniture is sturdy enough so that, um, visitors, no matter what their status, uh, can sit and, and get out of it again. Like two of the, the chairs have, uh, arms on 'em, which helps 'em get out, get up and out and, um, I can't put 'em on the lawn because I have guests who use walkers and they can't use the walker on the lawn and I can't, um, you know, this is just the best solution. And it's been there for years and apparently some neighbor, you know, got grouchy. I don't know why. It's ironic because that, that was in June. Both times I had those patriotic decorations up and I don't know if that offends someone or what the problem is that I really need the table and chairs. Alright. We appreciate you, uh, filling this in and on the information that you have, and I'm sure everybody here on the board empathizes with your situation. You, you've been here before this board before. Right. Um, Donna, Sam Staley had a car, An unrelated issue right In the driveway. And it, um, I was, because I didn't own the car and insurance company wouldn't let me insure it. And she, we Remember that. Yeah. And when, so at the same time, I, I think we discussed what the, uh, obligations of this board is. We are here not as a, a policy making board. We are here to just enforce whatever, um, requirements that the zoning or building comp, um, building and zoning due. Okay. So it sounds like you really need to have this conversation with the zoning department and ask for a variance and bring your physician letters to them. Um, you know, we're, we're not, we can't change, uh, any of the regulations or, or the zoning, uh, requirements. Okay. We're here just to enforce those. So Sir, there's been no zoning requirement presented to me. What I received, um, said that I shouldn't have junk or on unusable furniture on my property. This is usable furniture that's used every day and is the safest choice if someone can show me a And I looked at what the, you know, at the, the violation notice I got and there was nothing in there. Bidding furniture in front of a driveway in front of a, a garage door. Officer Rodriguez, can you expand at all upon, uh, the violation? 1 1 5 0.3 A one? It Does talk about not having furniture on the outside. Mm-Hmm. But we could recommend that she could have, instead of having furniture outside, that's from inside, she could have furniture that could be used like outside furniture. It could be replaced Furniture. So it's the type of furniture. That's Correct. That is, she has table dining tables and she has the, you know, the chairs like a dining table outside. I understand. Well, it does sound like something you can rectify. Uh, just the, the type of furniture. There's nothing in here about the type of furniture. It says garbage refuse, rubbish, junk, unusable furniture. My furniture is usable. Refrigerator stoves and appliances. Trash. Debris, dead deceased, decaying in unsafe trees or any limb. The remains or rubble of structures which are burned. There's nothing in there requiring that you have outdoor furniture outside. Now here's the problem with outdoor furniture. Some of it's made of mesh and it's tears. I've had people sit on it and it tears of the lady that hit her head on the, um, on the brick. She tried to sit on a, on a chair that was an outdoor chair and it gave away again, under her weight. And these, this furniture that's there now, actually I think the two, the two chairs you can see in there, I think those are actually made for outdoor. But the table is great. It won't blow away in a hurricane. It's sturdy, it's, um, protected. It's, um, it's not going to tip over. And so I, I don't see anything in here requiring that it be outdoor furniture, plastic furniture, you know, like that kind of vinyl furniture that cracks. You see it by the side of the road broken. If you, if you drive around, these things will not break. The chairs have metal legs, metal arms. They're safe. And so if there was something in here specifically for bidding, um, furniture that, you know, def that doesn't even define what outdoor furniture is. There is no definition of outdoor furniture. And it doesn't say it's, the only thing it says is unusable furniture. My furniture is very usable. I use it every day and so do my guests. Well my question then to you is you have two houses with furniture outside. Do you use all the furniture from the outside on both houses? We're doing, um, right now we're doing one, uh, of the violation notices. But, but I want them to know what's going on too upon the case that we're taking today. Because it's both cases that we're gonna bring and it's the same situation. So they need to know that on both houses you do have those furniture outside Also. Same reason in front of the, the other house, um, there is also, there, there's four chairs. And again, there're wonderful because they're made of sturdy wood. The backs are leather. It doesn't, the weather doesn't seem to hurt the backs. They're tall enough so that someone can get up and get down. The worst thing in the world for someone who's disabled is the an Adirondack chair. You know what I mean? The kind that are the, you know, they're outdoor furniture, but they tip way down and they're really hard to get out of or help someone get out of. And so the, the furniture, um, by the house next door, now that furniture was put there to please the HOA, they wanted that there too. And so if I'm working in that yard, then I need to go sit in one of those chairs. If I'm working in this yard at 8 38, I'm sorry, 8 2 8. Then I need to sit in one of these chairs. So you, you take care of both properties? Yes. And are we talking like lawn care maintenance and all that kind of stuff? A lawnmower is great. It's almost like a walker. Interesting. You go. Yeah. Yes, I do. Do you reside at both houses? No, This house is particular, uh, the 8 28 hammock drive. Is that your primary residence? That's my homestead. Okay. Is she in violation of code? I dunno. Do we have precedent on definition of furniture that can be allowed to stay outside? Is it that it should not be. I can't hear you. Um, do we have precedent on furniture that is allowed to be outside? Does it have to be stored? Um, is it, if it's permanent it has to be Of the furniture that she has outside? Yeah. Does it have to be stored at night and then bring, brought out in the morning? What, what is the precedent for? It's the, it's being permanent there. It's been there for years. And when she was talking about 20, 21 and when I, the first time we spoke, because I directly spoke to Mrs. Laney about it, and she told me about the covid that she was receiving people that she didn't want to receive inside because of covid. So that case was closed because of the covid. So it's still there. Well, it wasn't just COV. I have it in writing. I have a letter I sent in writing. And it's not just covid, it's also for my personal safety so that I have a place to meet that's, um, outside with people who are coming from, you know, claiming to be from spectrum or claiming to be whatever it is. If I wanna talk to 'em, I can do it outside where I'm safe. And also number two is to accommodate my friends who are disabled so that they don't smash their head on the thing. I don't think that lady ever paid. But That was, that was never told in 2021. What? That was never told in 2021 A what? In 2021. In 2021. You never told me that. No, I, here's the letter and you received Letter. I understand that, but in 22, I told you letter, I'm trying to explain to the board that on 2021, the only thing that I was, you were explaining to me was because of covid you didn't want nobody inside to, I have a letter that I wrote then, and the letter has, Hold on a Second. Things we're Track June. June 30th, guys, 21. What The discussion here really needs to be about, is the furniture allowed or not allowed? Not what happened in 2021? Well, well I'm just trying to bring the case because it's been so many years. Okay. And we did give him a chance. Yeah, I'm going from your dates of compliance dates here. Okay. That's a compliance station all day so far. Mm-Hmm. She's still in violation according to That's correct What you're saying? That's correct. Her Complain, her situation is that the, the violation description does not match her furniture that she has out front. That's she's saying Exactly, because it is not, that's the unusable furniture. The furniture I have outside is usable. Can you finish please? I'm sorry, I thought you were done. I wasn't I'm sorry. Go ahead. So the real question is, does the violation exist because of any furniture out front or just the specific furniture out front? Well, I can't say specific, um, like to say it specifically what she needs to be outside. But if it's, for example, if she has two houses with furniture outside, that could only tell you that she's not sitting all the time outside on one house and then the other one house and the other, what difference Is that I've, I have furniture outside of my house and my neighbor has furniture outside his house. What kind of furniture? In my case, it's a metal outdoor Okay. Seating thing. Okay. But we are having a dining table outside. That's for, Is that against? Yeah. Dining table is in violation? Yes. Okay. Yes. That's all we need to know. Yes. Because that's why we were giving her the alternative. If she could have furniture, like outside furniture, like, you know, like everybody else has, I was never given that alternative or I would've had a physician write the letter. You never call me. Um, suitable. Uh, some, some plastic chair. It needs to have enough weight so that if I kind of fall into it, it will, it will not slide back. You know, I don't understand why you think a plastic table would be more attractive than, than this wooden table. That, that, that doesn't make sense. It says right in here. There's nothing about, there's no definition of what's indoor furniture, outdoor furniture. All it says as far as nuisance and menace is unusable furniture. My furniture is usable. It's in compliance with this code. What information are you reading from This is the code violated chapter one 15, nuisance. I'm looking at the statement of violations I received from the city and the, the, the nuisance thing I got says, declaration of NUS and Menace, a junk and debris for the purposes of this chapter, the existence or accu accumulation of the falling conditions or things on lands within the city is hereby declared and defined to be a nuisance in men. Menace to public health, safety and welfare, garbage refuse, rubbish, junk, unusable furniture, refrigerator, stoves and appliances, traps, debris, dead disease, decaying and and so forth. There's nothing in here that says that if you have furniture outdoors, it, there's no definition of what indoor furniture is or outdoor furniture is. It does not say, and that's very subjective. You right? There is no definition as to what the furniture needs to be. Either she's allowed to have furniture or not to have furniture. What do you wanna do guys? Skip, do you wanna weigh in at all on this? Well, uh, your mission today is to determine whether what she has done or is doing is a violation of the code. If it is guilty, if it's not, that's case. Okay. So Look at that. It does say, uh, if I'm reading it right, also unusable furniture. Mm-Hmm. Apparently there's no real question as to whether her furniture modification you. This. And, Okay, well move the case. Be dismissed. We, we've gotta, we've got to pick a motion or a direction. I Move that. Case number 2 0 2 4 1 5 or 0 1 5 9 2 be dismissed. And, okay. Uh, is there any discussion on that? You need a second still, unless iard it. What's that? You need a second before discussion? Unless I misheard. Sorry, What was his motion? Could you repeat the motion again? I just make a motion that in case number 2 0 2 4 0 1 5 9 2, that the case be dismissed for lack of clarity in the ordinance. I second that motion. We have a motion on the floor made by Member Brennan. Seconded by Member Lewis. Then case number 2 0 2 4 dash 0 1 5 9 2 that the case be dismissed. Any discussion? No. None. Okay. I do have one question for you. Member Brennan, is this because it's her homestead? Um, No, I, I just don't think that the ordinance is clear enough to identify that it's in violation. Um, if some furniture's allowed and some furniture's not allowed, that needs to be a little clearer as to what it is. She, as far as the doctors and things goes, I, I sympathize with her, but that's not the issue. The issue is, is does she allowed to have furniture or not to have furniture? To me, the ordinance is not clear. Okay. Alright. If there's no other further discussion, uh, let's take a vote. All those, those in favor, press Yes. All those opposed No votes are in a hundred percent. It passes. Thank you. Okay, our next case is case number 2 0 2 4 dash 0 1 5 9 3. And again, officer Rodriguez. Okay. Case 20 24 0 1 5 9 3. Officer Rodriguez for the, uh, address eight 30 hammock drive in oco. Might as well also be in motion for dismiss because it's the same case. I have a question. I also, I see in the motion that there're also trash bags. That's, That's in compliance. That's in compliance, yes. Any question? Board? If you wanna see the pictures, we could show the pictures. This is the same. I will, uh, Officer Rodriguez, this is the same situation. Yeah, there you go. The pictures. Okay. And Ms. Victoria, um, Laney, uh, I believe you're speaking on this too as well. Yes. Do you have anything additional you would like to add? Well, the, um, a lot of the items in the picture have been removed and, um, the chairs now have patriotic decorations on them, but that's probably irrelevant. But they're, they're, uh, there's a lot of, you know, July 4th and flag day things there. Just for clarification, the only things that remain on the, in front of the garage is furniture. I'm sorry, what? She can't Hear you. Oh, the only, the only items that remain in the, in front of the driveway is furniture. Exactly. Or other? Yes. Yeah. And much. 'cause two, there's two chairs on each side. And that's really helpful for sitting in one chair and elevating my leg on the other chair. And then, um, if I have a, I have a visitor and he, um, when he sits down, he actually ends up sitting on both chairs. So I, I really need all four chairs. One for me, then one for my leg. And then, uh, the visitors who need two. And these are great chairs, like, as, like I said earlier, people can get up and out, up and down from them and sometimes they, you use the table to help Ms. Le, is this a house occupied? Um, not at the present time. It, it, uh, it belongs to my family and they come and go. Um, and they are also, you know, if, if you needed proof or something, they, they, uh, really need Thank you. The furniture there too. Uh, board, if you don't have any questions, um, Ms. Laney, uh, we will entertain a motion. That's for me. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion. Yes ma'am. Brennan, Mr. Chairman in case number 2 0 2 4 0 1 5 9 3 and move the case. Be dismissed for lack of clarity in the ordinance. Motion is seconded. We have a motion on the floor by member Brennan, seconded by member Lewis. That in case number 2 0 2 4 dash 1 5 93 that the case be dismissed. All those in favor, press Yes. All those opposed? No, My apologies. Redo it. Still one more person needs to hit. Okay. Vote does not, uh, go a hundred percent, but it is in favor of Ms. Ling. Okay, thank you. Okay. Uh, Reverting back to our case. Yes. Somebody else? Yeah. Justin, tell 'em about, Um, board. We do have another respondent who just came in, um, for 1711 sparkling circle. Um, if you wish to move them up or just address them in order is your discretion, but there is one ready when we get to that case. Understood. Case number is it? We need to make a motion. We need to make a motion to move that up. It is the board's discretion. You could make a motion to move it up or we can just address it when it comes in order. It would be 0 1 5 2 1. So we do in order, Uh, that's 1711 sparkling water circle. Okay. Yes. You gotta swear him. You gotta swear him. Oh, I'll do that one. Would you like me to do it as, uh, have it done as a motion whether or not to take this one or continue on Since we normally do? Yes. We'll go ahead and make a motion to, Okay, so should I like to make a motion? Yes. Member Lewis. Um, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion in the case 2 0 2 4 dash 1512. Be moved forward and then we can proceed with the cases as I outlined on the, um, chart. Okay. We have a motion on the floor by Member Lewis, seconded by member Brennan.

Yes. Uh, sir, if you could stand and raise your right hand, I'll do a quick swearing in. The officer will present, they'll ask questions and then they'll bring you up, uh, for your testimony. Okay. Uh, do you swear and affirm testimony you're about to present shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Thank you. You may be seated for now. Did you find your case? Yep. Perfect. Perfect to, but my paycheck's not, There's not there. I had everything that was in the case file. So case number 2 0 2 4 0 1 5 2 1.

Um, but we have, uh, been doing a lot of work around the house, like glass, uh, and some, some other things that we, we found, uh, not too good. And to be changed a lot of that. Uh, we did not, uh, really know if we should put something that, that, that is behind the fence, um, to to uh, to the city before doing it. But yeah, right after we, we, we have been noticed, notified, um, we came here and we spoke with a lady, she's Asian, I don't remember her name, and she gave us a phone number to call.

This officer did notice overgrown tall weeds and grass in the front, rear and side yards of the unfenced property. High visibility 1207 Kimball Drive on the same date a violation notice was posted at the location and sent out certified service by the clerk to the property owner of record Dwayne Brown of the same address for violation of ordinance one 15 dash four duty of the property owner. Regarding the overgrown tall weeds and grass the owner was given until May 14th to mow or cut all the tall weeds and grass. The property was reinspected on June 12th and observed non-compliant and the grass and weeds being even higher. Now on June 13th, a hearing notice was posted at the location within the city hall lobby with public access and sent out certified service by the clerk.
