A
It's
the
intention
of
this

to
promote,
protect
and
improve
health
safety
and
welfare.
The
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
by

an
equitable,
effective
and
efficient
every

inexpensive
method
of
enforcing
various
codes

Tarpon
Springs.
Any
agitated

must
appeal
a

Such
an

shall
be
filed
within
30
days
of
the

requires
any

of
this

to
have
record
of
proceedings
and
to
support
such
an
appeal.
A
The
procedure
procedure
of
the

First,
the

regarding
their
testimony.
Secondly,
the

or
sent
both

as
well
as
first-class
mail
and
mr.
F
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
mr.
Lindy
ACOs
Manuel
and
Lindy
ACOs,
who
owns
the
property.
You
can
see
up
on
the
board,
it's
a
pretty
substantial
size
of
property.
It's
on
the
north
side
of
the
cemetery,
it's
kind
of
an
industrial
ish
area.
What
the
original
complaint
December
13th
of
last
year
came
in,
as
was
the
dumpster
area,
was
full
of
trash.
F
We
went
back
and
forth
with
planning
and
zoning
to
determine
their
zoning
and
their
uses
and
allowed
uses
and
there's
a
long
history
with
this
property
changing
uses
and
allowed
uses,
and
frankly,
we
kind
of
ran
into
a
little
bit
of
a
roadblock
to
determine
whether
or
not
it's
industrial,
commercial
residential,
soon
to
be
both
don't
know.
So
what
we
ended
up
with
is
a
more
or
less
the
commercial
business.
That's
air
works
on
vehicles
and
he's
not
storing
the
his
merchandise
basically
properly.
F
On
top
of
it,
he
had
some
trash
issues
and
some
debris
issues
which
you
can
see
in
the
pictures.
So
that
was
basically
what
the
the
forming
of
this
case
was
so
moving
forward.
As
I
stated,
I
conducted
my
initial
inspection
on
December
13th
of
last
year
on
the
17th
of
December.
Last
year,
the
Notice
of
Violation
was
mailed.
We
did
get
a
return
receipt
signed
by
that
I
conducted
a
reinfection,
February
9th
of
2019.
The
dumpster
area
had
been
cleaned
up,
but
there
was
still
numerous
inoperable
unregistered
vehicles
in
various
states
of
work.
F
If
you
will
talk
to
the
owner
in
order
to
store
this
type
of
equipment,
they
need
to
have
a
six-foot,
opaque
fence
to
store
the
equipment
behind
it's
one
of
the
conditions
of
the
ordinance
the
February
12th
I
sent
him
an
amended
Notice
of
Violation.
We
had
changed
around
some
of
the
coding
and
ended
up
with
what
is
57.00
under
the
city
code
is
what
we
actually
cited
him
with,
as
well
as
a
48-52
I
conducted
another
inspection
on
March
13th.
F
The
vehicles
were
still
a
problem,
there's
no
fencing
been
installed
and
then,
unfortunately,
at
this
point
the
dumpster
area
was
full
of
trash
again,
so
we
kind
of
went
and
revisited
the
dumpster
area
and
February
March
12th.
We
mailed
a
notice
of
hearing
potentially
for
the
April
Code
board,
I
posted
the
property,
the
first
time
on
March
29th.
F
But
then
we
ended
up
deferring
that
April
Code
Board
hearing,
so
I
conducted
another
inspection
on
April
26,
the
cars
are
still
on
site
and
at
that
point
we
determined
we're
going
to
post
it
again
and
another
notice
of
hearing
for
this
hearing
today.
I
conducted
my
final
inspection
yesterday.
If
you
look
at
the
back
of
the
pack,
there
was
some
photographs
that
were
taken
yesterday.
Actually
this
morning
about
four
or
five
hours
ago,
still
numerous
vehicles.
There
I
have
spoken
to
mr.
Landy
acos.
F
He
has
pulled
the
city
permit
for
a
fence,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
pretty
substantial
amount
of
property,
so
he's
working
he's
got
the
contractor,
he's
just
working
on
timing
that
will
basically
put
him
into
compliance
once
he
gets
the
fence.
I
told
him
because
we've
deferred
this
and
we've
gone
back
and
forth
and
were
nine
months.
Eight
nine
months
into
the
case.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
here
to
code
board,
which
he
understood.
His
only
statement
was.
Can
you
see
if
I
can
get
sixty
days?
So
that's
basically
been
our
conversation.
F
He
he's
well
aware
of
the
issue
some
of
its
his
tenants
or
his
tenant.
Almost
all
those
cars
belong
to
the
one
mechanic
that's
in
there
up
until
a
couple
of
days
ago,
mr.
ralindi
ACOs
didn't
realize
he
could
tow
those
vehicles
away,
as
you
can
appreciate,
I
think
there's
a
up
words
of
about
20
vehicles,
so
there's
also
kind
of
a
cost
associated
with
towing
them
all
the
way
as
well.
So
he's
trying
not
to
to
do
that,
but
he's
also
trying
to
fix
the
problem.
He
just
needs
a
little
bit
of
time.
F
F
The
accumulation
of
trash
when
I
went
out
there
this
morning
seemed
to
be
in
pretty
good
shape
around
the
dumpster,
so
that
one's
not
before
the
board
right
now
and
then
840
and
850
to
kind
of
just
keep
on
top
of
the
property,
keep
it
clean
and
then
the
debris
and
things
like
that,
because
there's
there's
engines
and
things
like
that
associated
with
the
cars
out
there,
so
that
kind
of
falls
under
the
debris
definition
under
850.
So
before
the
board
is
8,
48,
52
and
5700
for
your
consideration
and
that's
all
I
have
mr.
H
H
H
E
H
H
G
H
E
F
Good
yeah
thank
you
case
number
19,
eight,
zero,
zero,
zero
to
sixty
three.
It's
a
vacant
lot
neck,
just
east
of
523,
Cedar,
Street,
owned
by
Stanley
or
Demetrios
cover
us.
She
stated
the
parcel
number
12
27
1573
674:
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
seven
zero,
it's
a
repeat
violator
for
a
period
of
13
days.
It
was
previously
established
under
a
couple
of
cases.
F
A
F
Case
started
on
April
16th
of
this
year
about
the
property
being
overgrown
on
the
vacant.
Lot
on
I
did
inspect
it
on
that
day
and
we
mailed
the
repeat,
violator
notice,
a
hearing.
We
did
not
get
a
return
receipt
but,
as
stated,
we
did
get
contact
via
email
from
the
property
owner
on
April
26
I
posted
the
property
and
on
May
3rd
I
was
asked
to
rien
SPECT
the
property,
and
it
was
found
to
be
in
compliance
because
he
had
contacted
our
office
on
April
28th,
as
you
guys
are
pretty
much
well
aware
by
now.
F
I'll
go
back
to
that
date.
They
contact
us,
even
though
I
did
do
the
inspection
a
few
days
later,
so
it
was
in
compliance
and
we
use
the
date
of
April
28th
for
that
compliance
date,
because
that's
when
he
called
us
and
said
he
was
in
compliance,
so
the
property
was
grossly
overgrown
once
again,
I
know
from
his
email.
He
stayed.
He
had
some
issues
with
vendors
and
this
seems
to
be
generally
the
main
conversation
that
goes
with
this
properties.
I
have
problems
with
my
vendors
had
problems
with
my
maintenance
workers.
F
You
know
the
thing
about
it
is:
is
I
typically
don't
bring
up
the
prior
cases,
but
the
mere
fact
that
there's
an
excess
of
20
of
them
in
the
last
like
15
years,
all
for
the
exact
same
violation,
other
people
are
able
to
take
care
of
it.
I
mean
I
get
you
got
a
vendor
problem,
but
you
know
this
one
is
and
apparently
it's
watched
and
we
give
frequent
complaints
on
the
property
and
it
was
pretty
substantially
overgrown.
F
I
must
say,
though,
the
last
wonder
he
got
did
an
amazing
job
and
like
cleared
the
whole
property,
it
was
one
of
the
better
ones
I'd
seen
yet
so,
what's
basically
before
the
board
again
is
a
violation
in
the
same
Code
sections,
8
40
duty
to
maintain
private
property
and
8
52.
The
nuisance
prohibitions
would
deal
with
maintaining
your
your
private
property.
Your
lot
and
overgrowth,
as
stated
before,
it
was
for
a
period
of
13
days
under
those
two
prior
cases
and
I
have
nothing
further.
F
At
present
is
up
to
you
guys.
I
can
tell
you
previously
he'd
been
fined
per
day
that
one's
on
this
it
was
both
of
the
prior
ones
where
he
was
fined,
was
150
dollars
a
day.
One
of
them
was
for
a
period
of
one
day.
The
other
one
amassed
a
fine
of
2,000
$26.50,
which
I
don't
know.
I,
don't
know
the
status
of
the
fines
so.

case
from
April
18th
2009
to
April
22nd
of
2019
for
a
period
of
five
days.
It
was
previously
found
by
this
board
and
established
under
KC
8969
for
violations
of
city
code,
8,
22,
8,

and
40.00.
F
That
previous

has
been

going

All
the
photographs
and
exhibits
were
given
to
the

are
exact
copies
of
what's
being
presented
to
this
board.
F
All
my
notices
were
mailed
to
the
property
owner
of
record
based
on
the
Pinellas,
County
property,
appraiser
and
tax

databases,
all
my
notice
of
violations
and
notice
of
hearing
our
scent
return
receipt
as
well
as
first
class
mail
and
mr.
chairman.
Please
accept
all
these
exhibits
into
the
record
as
evidence.
B
F
It's
just
the
part
where
the
evidence
is
taken.
Care
of
I
have
had
substantial
contact
with
the
owner.
We've
met
at
the
property
a
couple
times
and
he's
been
in
communication
with
our
office.
He's
pretty
good.
At
communication
on
April
18th
I
conducted
the
initial
inspection.
There
was
trash
and
debris
on
the
east
side
of
the
building.
This
inspection
came
as
a
result
of
a
police
officer.
One
of
our
officers
had
gone
out
there
for
an
unrelated
to
debris
and
trash
and
found
some
people
trespassing
in
one
of
his
off
buildings.
F
This
previous
case
was
for
a
different
address
owned
by
the
same
company.
So
that's
why
it's
an
established
as
a
repeat
violator.
So
just
so,
you
guys
understand
this.
This
particular
address
this
is
the
first
case,
but
it's
associated
by
the
same
company
with
a
couple
of
properties
that
they
owned
and
they're
all
very
close
to
each
other,
they're
all
in
the
same
block.
So
as
I
stated,
there
was
trash
and
debris
on
the
east
side
of
the
building.
There
was
trash
outside
the
building.
F
We
had
reports
of
people
living
inside
the
building
with
no
water
or
electricity,
and
there
was
an
extension
cord
running
from
the
building
across
the
alley
to
another
building
to
provide
power,
which
is
basically
a
storage
building.
But
it
does
have
a
city
address
on
April
19th,
the
repeat,
violator
notice.
The
hearing
was
mailed.
F
We
did
get
the
green
card
back
signed
by
the
registered
agent
I
conducted
a
rien
spectrum
based
on
a
phone
call,
prompting
us
to
do
so
and
on
April
23rd,
which
was
when
it
was
found
to
be
in
compliance
which
was
a
day
after
they
had
called
and
requested
to
the
re-inspection.
So
it
actually
came
into
compliance
on
April,
22nd
posted
the
property
in
April
26th
and,
as
I
stated,
all
the
violations
are
currently
in
compliance.
F
But
it
is
a
violation
of
city
code,
8,
20,
8,
40
and
8
52,
which
were
also
similar
same
codes
from
the
previous
case
under
18
969
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
photographs
the
amount
the
amount
of
trash
was
piled
up
on
the
east
side
of
the
building
and
there
were
chairs
and
other
debris
outside,
and
it
just
continued
to
stack
up.
I,
don't
know
if
it
was,
he
does
have
a
problem
with
some
people
getting
in.
F
There
he's
addressed
those
problems
since
he's
been
working
with
the
police
department
get
tresspass
authorization,
obviously
he's
not
there
24/7.
So
we're
trying
to
help
him
out
to
keep
the
minute
basically
abate.
The
problem
and
keep
it
in
check
and
he's
like
I
said,
he's
been
very
responsive
about
taking
care
of
the
issues,
but
he
did
get
tangled
up
in
the
fact
bed.
Here's
her
Pete
violator
for
the
other
property.
So
this
one
came
in
to
that
same
boat.
I
Day,
even
this
try
to
sleep
in
inside
the
store
bathroom,
we
have
to
check
like
a
daily
basis
to
make
sure
before
we
lock
the
door
they
not
inside,
because
when
we
bought
this
property
we
came
in.
We
start
to
lock
the
door
with
our
check
in
because
we're
not
used
to
it
like
that
situation
and
at
like
a
midnight,
they
start
walking
around
inside
the
store
and
motion
get
active
and
we
have
to
come
in
and
get
them
out.
It's
kind
of
that
people.
I
You
know
hanging
around
I,
do
have
a
piece
of
paper
from
police
office
and
I'm
gonna
fill
it
out.
They
want
me
to
you,
know
notarized,
so
return
them
back,
so
they
can
see
someone,
so
they
can
trespass.
So
I
will
do
that.
Definitely,
and
I
will
request
to
everybody.
If
you
guys
can.
Let
me
go
because
that's
the
different
property,
the
property
I
had
a
problem
officer
mentioned
before
I
was
here
I'm
taking
care
of
really
good
no
problem,
but
this
one
is
a
new.

I
H
E
I'm,
just
gonna
be
a
softy
for
a
minute.
If
I
may
I
think
these
people
went
to
a
lot
and
I
think
they
made
best
efforts
under
circumstances.
I,
don't
know
anybody
else
will
agree
with
me,
but
just
in
what
I
read
and
I
was
here
early
today,
because
they
had
other
work
to
do
so.
I
read
all
of
this
thoroughly
I
think.
E
G
E
A
C
H
Well,
I
for
one
have
no
problem
with
making
making
any
reduction
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
any
more
than
a
half,
so
I
I
would
certainly
agree
with
your
suggestion
and
again
that's
just
my
opinion.
I
think
that
there
was
a
some
lapse
on
the
prop
and
the
part
of
the
property
owners,
but
I
think
that
there
was
also
a
certain
amount
of
attempt
to
to
get
through
a
very
boggle
situation
and
I
think
that
your
recommendation
is
is
one
that
I
certainly
could
support.
D
We
read
from
your
rules
of
procedure.

is
