Sections 5, 6, and 7 of Ordinance 88-45, the
Collier County Litter Ordinance.
Compliance Services Enforcement Coordinator Smith
stated that recorder and the Board have been pro-
vided with Composite Exhibit "A", and requested
that this be admitted into evidence relative to CEB
Case 90-050.
Mr. Robert Cadenhead, representing Ivy J. Nebus,
President, I.E.C. Rental, Inc., stated that there
is not a clear determination of what "litter" is.
It was the consensus of the Board to accept
Composite Exhibit "A" into the record as evidence.
Code Compliance Investigator Tomasino stated that
initial investigation of the lot in question
revealed a large accumulation of litter consisting
of tires, engine parts, houses, junk cars and
boats. He indicated that Mr. Cadenhead has
attempted to bring the violations into compliance,
but noted that as of yesterday, October 24, 1990, a
large amount of debris still exists on the lot.
Mr. Tomasino read the definitions of "Abandoned
Property" and "Litter" from Ordinance 88-45.
Code Compliance Supervisor Dahir reported that on
October 8, 1990, he visited the site and explained
to Mr. Cadenhead that any tire that is ripped apart
is "trash", but anything of value that would be
used for business would not be considered "trash".
He indicated that Mr. Cadenhead said that he
Page 4
(
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
understood and agreed that there was trash on the
property and that he would dispose of same. He
affirmed that the boat and some of the other trash
and garbage remain on the property.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Mr. Robert
Cadenhead stated that he disagrees with the
County's position. He related that the subject lot
is Industrial property which was owned and occupied
prior to 1970. He expressed that trash is
"anything that is discarded with no value", but
noted that everything that remains on the property
is of value. He explained that he did clean up the
property to appease Code Enforcement Officials, but
he is tired of the nit-picking and will not remove
another thing. He indicated that if he moves
anything else, he will give the bill to the County.
He stated that the boat on the property is being
salvaged and everything else on the property is
being stored.
,
Mr. Cadenhead advised that there was a large amount
of litter that he agreed was trash and cleaned that
up. He reported that there are wheels on his pro-
perty valued at $100 each and he does not want to
dispose of them. In addition, he noted that there
is a 1954 Ford pick up truck that is an antique and
Compliances Services staff say that this is litter.
He stated that he may place whatever he desires on.
his property and it is not up to County staff to
determine the value of same. He affirmed that he
has spent $2,000 to clean up this property. He
disclosed that he realizes that his property is an
eyesore, but his neighbors continue to build around
him. He stated that he does not need to provide a
fence around his property since he was there prior
to the fence ordinance.
Mr. Cadenhead reported that there is a nearby
corner lot where the Sheriff's Office has an abun-
dance of abandoned vehicles with no tags.
I
Mr. Clark advised that a complaint has been
received from Mr. Cadenhead's neighbor who has been
cited for a-violation and contends that he will
clean up his property if Mr. Cadenhead does the
same. He questioned whether there is some middle
ground and if Mr. Cadenhead could have his property
cleaned up within 30-60 days. Mr. Cadenhead
replied negatively, noting that everything on his
Page 5
,
,
f
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
lot is of value, but if the County can prove that
these items have no value, he will remove them.
Mr. Clark asked if Mr. Cadenhead is willing to
cover the boat with a tarp, to which he responded
negatively, and noted that it is on the back side
of his property and there is no need for a tarp.
He declared that there is nothing on his property
which is a nuisance.
Mr. Williams related that this property is within
an Industrial area, and he has a problem
distinguishing what is junk and what is not.
At this time Case No. CEB-90-050 was dismissed,
since there were no Findings of Fact.

CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
MOTION:
OCTOBER 25, 1990
It was the consensus of the Board to accept
Composite Exhibit "A" into the record as evidence.
Mr. Smith stated that the Respondent, Esmeralda
Castro, is the owner of the subject property, and
has been advised that these violations need to be
corrected and the proper notice has been served, as
required by Ordinance.
Mr. Smith reported that on 6-15-90, Compliance
Services Investigator Bolgar observed two mobile
homes occupying a single lot, both connected to all
utilities (sewer, electrical and water), and a
trailer in the rear of the property.
Mr. Smith stated that on 6-23-90, a notice of
violation and stipulation was mailed and on 8-8-90,
an extension was granted since the Respondent
requested additional time to move one trailer. He
reported that an extension was granted until
9-24-90.
Mr. Smith indicated that on 9-25-90 the property
was re-checked and found that both mobile homes
were still occupying the property and had been
removed. He advised that Staff has had numerous
conversations with Ms. Castro and Investigator
Bolgar talked with Ms. Castro's mother as late as
yesterday.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Investigator
Bolgar reported that he received a long distance
call from Ms. Castro who is in Tennessee, but she
is supposed to be back in town this week. He noted
that the trailer is not presently occupied.
Mr. Smith advised that Staff is recommending the
removal of the mobile home within 30 days or that a
fine of $100 per day be imposed.
There were no other speakers. Presentation of evi-
dence in this case was closed at this time.
Made by Mr. Lamoureux that the Findings-of-Fact in
Case No. 90-052 are that this cause came before the
Board on October 25, 1990, and the Board having
heard testimony under oath, received evidence, and

CEB 90-035, Request for rehearing, Board of County
Commissioners vs Ayala.
Attorney J. Richard Smith, representing Jesus and
Mary Ayala, requested a rehearing with respect to
Case No. CEB 90-035. He explained that at the ini-
tial hearing there was an issue concerning whether
Mr. Ayala was the owner of the property surrounding
a lake. He noted that Mr. Ayala admitted that he
owned the lake, but at another hearing, testimony
was that Mr. Ayala had taken care of the property
that he owned which surrounded the lake, but the
property that surrounded the lake had been conveyed
by Agreements for Deed.
Attorney Smith indicated that he believes that the
Board recognizes that Mr. Ayala wants to cooperate
but desires to raise his rights and objections
under the law. He reported that he has spent a lot
of time and money cleaning up his portion of the
property, but it is clear, as stated in previous
testimony, that there is one segment of property
which is not his and he put up a barrier so that
there would not be a reoccurrence. He explained
that the legal questions involving the issue of
Agreements for Deed is the reason he requested the
rehearing since he had not received notice of the
memorandum that had been filed and he did not have
the opportunity to study or respond to same.
Attorney Smith revealed that he has since reviewed
the memorandum and prepared and presented an addi-
tional memorandum which speaks for itself. He
noted that each of the current legal cases dealing
with this issue is clear that Agreement for Deed is
the taking back of the mortgage. He requested that
Mr. Ayala's case be reconsidered.
In answer to Mr. Strain, Attorney Smith advised
that he questions whether the fine imposed was
proper. He stated that Mr. Ayala was impo?ed the

maximum fine after he took steps to do what he was
supposed to do. He noted that it is impossible for
his client to clean up property for which he is not
responsible.
Mr. Strain advised that this is a quasi-judicial
board that relies on real factual evidence based on
property and not on legalities of law, i.e.
Agreements for Deed or mortgages. He indicated
that based on the evidence as presented and the
fact that the property did contain debris, the
Board voted on the issue and he does not see the
need for a rehearing.
Assistant County Attorney Yovanovich advised that
the County Attorney's office has not changed their
opinion, based on Attorney Smith's second memo, and
noted that his contention is that Mr. Ayala is
still the owner of the property.
Mr. Lamoureux stated that he is in agreement with
the County's position on this issue.
Made by Mr. Andrews to deny the request for
rehearing of CEB Case No. 90-035. Seconded by Mr.
Lamoureux. Carried 4/1 (Mr. Williams opposed).
Attorney Yovanovich advised that the original is
stayed as a result of action as taken by the Board..
Attorney Smith indicated that his client intends to
appeal the Board's decision, and requested a 15 day
stay before he complies with the original order to
allow sufficient time for the filing of an appeal.
Made by Mr. Lamoureux to grant a 15 day stay to
the original order so that an appeal may be filed.
Seconded by Mr. Williams. Carried 5/0.

CEB 90-053, Board of County Commissioners vs Robert
W. McCarthy, Trustee, Request for Fine Reduction
Compliance Services Enforcement Coordinator Smith
advised that as documented in the agenda packet,
this case began on April 26, 1990 when Mr. McCarthy
was sent invoices for fines due in the amounts of
$2,850, $4,350 and $7,200, totaling $14,400. He
reported that as of yesterday, October 24, 1990,
the property has not been brought into compliance.
Page 10
,
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
Mr. Smith reported that Attorney Daniel Conley is
requesting that the fines be reduced, but Staff is
opposed to this request since the property is still
not in compliance. He explained that the RV's have
been removed but the trash, litter, debris and
sewer pipes are still there. He noted that a
meeting was held on September 28, 1990, with
Attorney Conley, Messrs. McCarthy, Clark and him-
self, and Mr. McCarthy agreed to remove the viola-
tions.
Mr. Lamoureux stated that he knows Attorney Conley
personally but has no knowledge of this case. He
questioned whether he should abstain from par-
ticipating in this case. Assistant County Attorney
Mafialich indicated that he sees no conflict in this
regard and affirmed that Mr. Lamoureux may par-
ticipate in the discussion and voting with respect
to this case.
Attorney Daniel Conley expressed no objection to
Mr. Lamoureux's participation in this case.
,
f
Attorney Daniel Conley, stated that Mr. Robert
McCarthy is Co-Owner of the company that developed
Imperial Wilderness. He indicated that the sewage
treatment plant on the property served this area
for 3 or 4 years. He related that the property
next door was to be developed by Mr. McCarthy and
the sewage was to be treated via the plant at
Imperial Wilderness, but the residents objected to
same.
Mr. Lamoureux questioned if there are any other
violations on the property other than the sewer
treatment plant.
Investigator Dennis Mazzone related that he has not
cited Mr. McCarthy for any other violations. He
reported that there has been an equipment bucket
loader on the property for two weeks but this was
not mentioned since he believed that it was being
used to remove the violation.
MOTION:
Made by Mr. Lamoureux to postpone the request for
fine reduction relative to CEB Case No. 90-25 to
the meeting of November 29, 1990. Seconded by ~r.
Williams. Carried 5/0.

Review Request for rehearing CEB Case No. 90-047
Board of County Commissioners vs So to
Attorney Smith stated that the Soto's are not
financially able to go through the suggested proce-
dure of moving the trailer. He indicated that Mr.
Soto's family has been given an application for
Farm Workers Village. He advised that Mr. Clark has
offered a suggestion which he believes is accep-
table.
Mr. Clark indicated that Staff has no interest in
pursuing the violations, and recommended that Mr.
Soto be given until January 10, 1991 to remove the
trailer from the property.
Mr. Strain questioned whether the Board could
reverse a decision that was previously made.
Assistant County Attorney Yovanovich stated that
the Board may stay the motion for rehearing in
January and discuss the issue further.
Made by Mr. Pedone to postpone the request for

Update of CEB Case No. 90-048 Board of County
Commissioners vs Moses
Mr. Smith stated that the County had the subject
property surveyed. He reported that Mr. Moses con-
curs that the wall needs to be removed. He indi-
cated that Staff is recommending that Mr. Moses be
given an additional 10 days to comply with the set-
back.
Mr. Strain asked who paid for the survey, to which
Mr. Smith advised that it was paid for by the
County. Mr. Strain questioned whether Mr. Moses
would be willing to reimburse the County for the
cost of the survey.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Mr. Abraham
Moses replied that after the survey was taken, he
removed 2 feet from his shed and indicated that he
does believe it is fair to ask him to pay for the
survey since he did not build the shed.
Page 12
(
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
Investigator Mazzone stated that he cannot verify
that the stakes were improperly placed on Mr.
Moses' property, but when he saw the stakes he
determined the violation based on the placement of
same. He related that the updated survey indicated
that the structure in question is still in viola-
tion and he explained to Mr. Moses that the rear
wall of the shed which carries an 8' overhang would
have to meet the setback requirements. He remarked
that he told Mr. Moses that the rear wall and the
overhang would have to be removed, and noted that
he is attempting to do so. He noted that the fence
is 1.7 feet from the property line and a 10' set-
back is required.
Mr. Moses stated that the roof of the shed is 7'
high and 22' long, and he has removed it and
intends to use it to build a carport. Mr. Mazzone
stated that Mr. Moses will be required to obtain a
permit before he can build the carport, otherwise
the material needs to be stored inside a structure.
Mr. Moses indicated that he purchased his property
with the shed as it stands and expressed that it
seems unfair that he has to remove it.
{
Mr. Smith advised that staff's recommendation
stands as previously stated: an additional 10
days, and then a fine of $100 per day for each and
every day that the structure remains in violation.
Mr. Strain indicated that the presentation of evi-
dence relative to CEB Case No 90-048 in now closed.
MOTION:

Rental, Inc.
I.E.C. Rental, Inc.
3994 Mercantile
Sections 5, 6, and 7 of Ordinance 88-45, the
Collier County Litter Ordinance.
Compliance Services Enforcement Coordinator Smith
stated that recorder and the Board have been pro-
vided with Composite Exhibit "AI', and requested
that this be admitted into evidence relative to CEB
Case 90-050.
Mr. Robert Cadenhead, representing Ivy J. Nebus,
President, I.E.C. Rental, Inc., stated that there
is not a clear determination of what "litter" is.
It was the consensus of the Board to accept
Composite Exhibit "A" into the record as evidence.
Code Compliance Investigator Tomasino stated that
initial investigation of the lot in question
revealed a large accumulation of litter consisting
of tires, engine parts, houses, junk cars and
boats. He indicated that Mr. Cadenhead has
attempted to bring the violations into compliance,
but noted that as of yesterday, October 24, 1990, a
large amount of debris still exists on the lot.
Mr. Tomasino read the definitions of "Abandoned
Property" and "Litter" from Ordinance 88-45.
Code Compliance Supervisor Dahir reported that on
October 8, 1990, he visited the site and explained
to Mr. Cadenhead that any tire that is ripped apart
is "trash", but anything of value that would be
used for business would not be considered "trash".
He indicated that Mr. Cadenhead said that he
Page 4
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
understood and agreed that there was trash on the
property and that he would dispose of same. He
affirmed that the boat and some of the other trash
and garbage remain on the property.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Mr. Robert
Cadenhead stated that he disagrees with the
County's position. He related that the subject lot
is Industrial property which was owned and occupied
prior to 1970. He expressed that trash is
"anything that is discarded with no value", but
noted that everything that remains on the property
is of value. He explained that he did clean up the
property to appease Code Enforcement Officials, but
he is tired of the nit-picking and will not remove
another thing. He indicated that if he moves
anything else, he will give the bill to the County.
He stated that the boat on the property is being
salvaged and everything else on the property is
being stored.
Mr. Cadenhead advised that there was a large amount
of litter that he agreed was trash and cleaned that
up. He reported that there are wheels on his pro-
perty valued at $100 each and he does not want to
dispose of them. In addition, he noted that there
is a 1954 Ford pick up truck that is an antique and
Compliances Services staff say that this is litter.
He stated that he may place whatever he desires on
his property and it is not up to County staff to
determine the value of same. He affirmed that he
has spent $2,000 to clean up this property. He
disclosed that he realizes that his property is an
eyesore, but his neighbors continue to build around
him. He stated that he does not need to provide a
fence around his property since he was there prior
to the fence ordinance.
Mr. Cadenhead reported that there is a nearby
corner lot where the Sheriff's Office has an abun-
dance of abandoned vehicles with no tags.
Mr. Clark advised that a complaint has been
received from Mr. Cadenhead's neighbor who has been
cited for a violation and contends that he will
clean up his property if Mr. Cadenhead does the
same. He questioned whether there is some middle
ground and if Mr. Cadenhead could have his property
cleaned up within 30-60 days. Mr. Cadenhead
replied negatively, noting that everything on his
Page 5
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
lot is of value, but if the County can prove that
these items have no value, he will remove them.
Mr. Clark asked if Mr. Cadenhead is willing to
cover the boat with a tarp, to which he responded
negatively, and noted that it is on the back side
of his property and there is no need for a tarp.
He declared that there is nothing on his property
which is a nuisance.
Mr. Williams related that this property is within
an Industrial area, and he has a problem
distinguishing what is junk and what is not.
At this time Case No. CEB-90-050 was dismissed,
since there were no Findings of Fact.

MOTION:
OCTOBER 25, 1990
It was the consensus of the Board to accept
Composite Exhibit "A" into the record as evidence.
Mr. Smith stated that the Respondent, Esmeralda
Castro, is the owner of the subject property, and
has been advised that these violations need to be
corrected and the proper notice has been served, as
required by Ordinance.
Mr. Smith reported that on 6-15-90, Compliance
Services Investigator Bolgar observed two mobile
homes occupying a single lot, both connected to all
utilities (sewer, electrical and water), and a
trailer in the rear of the property.
Mr. Smith stated that on 6-23-90, a notice of
violation and stipulation was mailed and on 8-8-90,
an extension was granted since the Respondent
requested additional time to move one trailer. He
reported that an extension was granted until
9-24-90.
Mr. Smith indicated that on 9-25-90 the property
was re-checked and found that both mobile homes
were still occupying the property and had been
removed. He advised that Staff has had numerous
conversations with Ms. Castro and Investigator
Bolgar talked with Ms. Castro's mother as late as
yesterday.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Investigator
Bolgar reported that he received a long distance
call from Ms. Castro who is in Tennessee, but she
is supposed to be back in town this week. He noted
that the trailer is not presently occupied.
Mr. Smith advised that Staff is recommending the
removal of the mobile home within 30 days or that a
fine of $100 per day be imposed.
There were no other speakers. Presentation of evi-
dence in this case was closed at this time.
Made by Mr. Lamoureux that the Pindings-of-Pact in

CEB 90-035, Request for rehearing, Board of County
Co..issioners vs Ayala.
Attorney J. Richard Smith, representing Jesus and
Mary Ayala, requested a rehearing with respect to
Case No. CEB 90-035. He explained that at the ini-
tial hearing there was an issue concerning whether
Mr. Ayala was the owner of the property surrounding
a lake. He noted that Mr. Ayala admitted that he
owned the lake, but at another hearing, testimony
was that Mr. Ayala had taken care of the property
that he owned which surrounded the lake, but the
property that surrounded the lake had been conveyed
by Agreements for Deed.
Attorney Smith indicated that he believes that the
Board recognizes that Mr. Ayala wants to cooperate
but desires to raise his rights and objections
under the law. He reported that he has spent a lot
of time and money cleaning up his portion of the
property, but it is clear, as stated in previous
testimony, that there is one segment of property
which is not his and he put up a barrier so that
there would not be a reoccurrence. He explained
that the legal questions involving the issue of
Agreements for Deed is the reason he requested the
rehearing since he had not received notice of the
memorandum that had been filed and he did not have
the opportunity to study or respond to same.
Attorney Smith revealed that he has since reviewed
the memorandum and prepared and presented an addi-
tional memorandum which speaks for itself. He
noted that each of the current legal cases dealing
with this issue is clear that Agreement for Deed is
the taking back of the mortgage. He requested that
Mr. Ayala's case be reconsidered.
In answer to Mr. Strain, Attorney Smith advised
that he questions whether the fine imposed was
proper. He stated that Mr. Ayala was imposed the
Page 9
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
maximum fine after he took steps to do what he was
supposed to do. He noted that it is impossible for
his client to clean up property for which he is not
responsible.
Mr. Strain advised that this is a quasi-judicial
board that relies on real factual evidence based on
property and not on legalities of law, i.e.
Agreements for Deed or mortgages. He indicated
that based on the evidence as presented and the
fact that the property did contain debris, the
Board voted on the issue and he does not see the
need for a rehearing.
Assistant County Attorney Yovanovich advised that
the County Attorney's office has not changed their
opinion, based on Attorney Smith's second memo, and
noted that his contention is that Mr. Ayala is
still the owner of the property.
Mr. Lamoureux stated that he is in agreement with
the County's position on this issue.
MOTION:
Made by Mr. Andrews to deny the request for
rehearina of CEB Case No. 90-035. Seconded by Mr.
Lamoureux. Carried 4/1 (Mr. Williams opposed).
Attorney Yovanovich advised that the original is
stayed as a result of action as taken by the Board.
Attorney Smith indicated that his client intends to
appeal the Board's decision, and requested a 15 day
stay before he complies with the original order to
allow sufficient time for the filing of an appeal.
MOTIOR :
Made by Mr. Lamoureux to grant a 15 day stay to
the oriainal order so that an appeal aay be filed.

Compliance Services Enforcement Coordinator Smith
advised that as documented in the agenda packet,
this case began on April 26, 1990 when Mr. McCarthy
was sent invoices for fines due in the amounts of
$2,850, $4,350 and $7,200, totaling $14,400. He
reported that as of yesterday, October 24, 1990,
the property has not been brought into compliance.
Page 10
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
Mr. Smith reported that Attorney Daniel Conley is
requesting that the fines be reduced, but Staff is
opposed to this request since the property is still
not in compliance. He explained that the RV's have
been removed but the trash, litter, debris and
sewer pipes are still there. He noted that a
meeting was held on September 28, 1990, with
Attorney Conley, Messrs. McCarthy, Clark and him-
self, and Mr. McCarthy agreed to remove the viola-
tions.
Mr. Lamoureux stated that he knows Attorney Conley
personally but has no knowledge of this case. He
questioned whether he should abstain from par-
ticipating in this case. Assistant County Attorney
Mafialich indicated that he sees no conflict in this
regard and affirmed that Mr. Lamoureux may par-
ticipate in the discussion and voting with respect
to this case.
Attorney Daniel Conley expressed no objection to
Mr. Lamoureux's participation in this case.
Attorney Daniel Conley, stated that Mr. Robert
McCarthy is Co-Owner of the company that developed
Imperial Wilderness. He indicated that the sewage
treatment plant on the property served this area
for 3 or 4 years. He related that the property
next door was to be developed by Mr. McCarthy and
the sewage was to be treated via the plant at
Imperial Wilderness, but the residents objected to
same.
Mr. Lamoureux questioned if there are any other
violations on the property other than the sewer
treatment plant.
Investigator Dennis Mazzone related that he has not
cited Mr. McCarthy for any other violations. He
reported that there has been an equipment bucket
loader on the property for two weeks but this was
not mentioned since he believed that it was being
used to remove the violation.
MO'rIOIf:
Made by Mr. Lamoureux to postpOne the request for
fine reduction relative to CES Case Ifo. 90-25 to

Attorney Smith stated that the Soto's are not
financially able to go through the suggested proce-
dure of moving the trailer. He indicated that Mr.
Soto's family has been given an application for
Farm Workers Village. He advised that Mr. Clark has
offered a suggestion which he believes is accep-

Mr. Clark indicated that Staff has no interest in
pursuing the violations, and recommended that Mr.
So to be given until January 10, 1991 to remove the
trailer from the property.
Mr. Strain questioned whether the Board could
reverse a decision that was previously made.

Update of CEB Case No. 90-048 Board of County
Commissioners vs Moses
Mr. Smith stated that the County had the subject
property surveyed. He reported that Mr. Moses con-
curs that the wall needs to be removed. He indi-
cated that Staff is recommending that Mr. Moses be
given an additional 10 days to comply with the set-
back.
Mr. Strain asked who paid for the survey, to which
Mr. Smith advised that it was paid for by the
County. Mr. Strain questioned whether Mr. Moses
would be willing to reimburse the County for the
cost of the survey.
After being sworn in by Mr. Smith, Mr. Abraham
Moses replied that after the survey was taken, he
removed 2 feet from his shed and indicated that he
does believe it is fair to ask him to pay for the
survey since he did not build the shed.
Page 12
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY
OCTOBER 25, 1990
Investigator Mazzone stated that he cannot verify
that the stakes were improperly placed on Mr.
Moses' property, but when he saw the stakes he
determined the violation based on the placement of
same. He related that the updated survey indicated
that the structure in question is still in viola-
tion and he explained to Mr. Moses that the rear
wall of the shed which carries an 8' overhang would
have to meet the setback requirements. He remarked
that he told Mr. Moses that the rear wall and the
overhang would have to be removed, and noted that
he is attempting to do so. He noted that the fence
is 1.7 feet from the property line and a 10' set-
back is required.
Mr. Moses stated that the roof of the shed is 7'
high and 22' long, and he has removed it and
intends to use it to build a carport. Mr. Mazzone
stated that Mr. Moses will be required to obtain a
permit before he can build the carport, otherwise
the material needs to be stored inside a structure.
Mr. Moses indicated that he purchased his property
with the shed as it stands and expressed that it
seems unfair that he has to remove it.
Mr. Smith advised that staff's recommendation
stands as previously stated: an additional 10
days, and then a fine of $100 per day for each and
every day that the structure remains in violation.
Mr. Strain indicated that the presentation of evi-
dence relative to CEB Case No 90-048 in now closed.
