Thank
you.
The
procedure
for
the
code
board
is
as
follows.
It
is
the
intention
of
this
board
to
promote,
protect
and
improve
the
health,
safety
and
Welfare
of
the
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs,
by
providing
an
equitable,
effective
and
inexpensive
method
of
enforcing
various
codes
within
the

Springs.
Any

May
appeal
a

administrative
order
of

to
the
Circuit
Court.
Such
appeal
shall
be

G
The
matters
heard
before
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
code
enforcement
board
or
quasi-judicial
in
nature
and
a
quasi-judicial
proceeding.
The
board's
function
is
to
make
findings
a
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence
presented
at
the
hearing
and
apply
those
findings
of
fact
to
previously
established
criteria
contained
in
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
code
of
ordinances.
This
is
a
legal
decision
regarding
the
alleged
violation
before
the
board.
The
board
may
only
consider
evidence
that
the
law
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues
arising
from
the
the
code
violation
before
the
board.
G
If
the
evidence
demonstrates
that
the
respondent
has
violated
the
code
of
ordinances,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
a
violation
exists.
If
the
evidence
demonstrates
that
the
respondent
has
not
violated
the
code,
then
the
board
is
required
to
find
that
no
violation
exists.
Any
and
all

this
hearing
are
required

All

G
All

Please

pertain.
The
following
is
the
established

which
will
be

G
First,
the
a

Then
the

can
request

All

The
city

case.
Both
parties
will
have
an
opportunity
to
cross-examine
all
Witnesses
the
Border,
its

May

any

It
feels
necessary.
The

G
The

May
and
its

31
days

and
request

from
either

If
a
hearing
is
adjourned
at
the
time,
the
hearing
is
reconvened.
Only
those
board
members
that
have
been
present
from
the
beginning
of
the
hearing
May
participate
in
the
deliberation
and
decision
decision-making
process
upon
completion
of
all
the
evidence.
The
chairperson
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
the
board
may
only
consider
evidence
which
is
presented
at
the
hearing
and
reaching

at
this
time.
B
A
A
A
J
A
hearing
for
non-compliance,
however,
he
did
come
into
compliance
yesterday,
so
we
do
have
an
Affidavit
of
non-compliance
that
needs
to
be
accepted,
as
well
as
an
Affidavit
of
compliance
with
yesterday's
date
to
be
accepted.
So
it
was
a
total
out
of
compliance
for
27
days
for
100
per
day
for
a
total
of
twenty
seven
hundred
dollars.
The
respondent
has
already
stated
he
wanted
to
do
a
reduction
so
I'm
going
to
send
him
that
paperwork
tomorrow,
and
then
we
can
hear
that
next
month.

you
present
at
the
last
hearing

this
was

No

also
need
to
recuse
yourself.
Can
I
see
the
remaining
board

this.

Miss.
G
Up
there,
so
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
the
respondent
has
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
hearing.
Mark
do
you
know
headsets,
for
if
you
have
the
headsets
for
the
hearing
impaired
readily
available
up
there.
G
A
A
A
P
J
Is
not
a
homesteaded
property
on
February
24th,
2023
I
inspected
the
property
located
at
509
West
Cedar
Street?
There
are
several
construction
workers
at
the
residence
doing
structural
work
on
the
front,
porch
side
of
the
residence
and
Main
upper
beams.
The
building
department
was
contacted
due
to
there
being
no
permits
applied
for
Approved
or
issued
for
this
work
on
February
27
2023
building
inspector
Mr
Lackey
inspected
the
property.
J
He
advised
that
two
individuals
were
on
site
and
were
friends
of
the
owners
and
that
the
scope
of
the
repairs
included
the
replacement
of
porch
walls
guards
and
included
alterations
or
repairs
to
the
floor
system.
He
observed
repairs
alterations
of
the
front
porch
area
of
the
structures,
including
removal
of
the
columns.
Mr
Lackey
stopped
posted
a
stop
work
order
on
the
property.
J
Stated
that
when
he
purchased
the
property,
the
front
porch
was
sagging
and
was
unsafe,
so
he
and
his
crew
put
support
beams
under
it
to
keep
it
from
falling.
He
advised
that
he
is
a
general
contractor
and
that
he
will
be
meeting
with
his
engineer
to
make
plans
to
apply
for
the
permits
which
should
take
about
two
weeks.
The
property
owner
was
granted
an
extension
until
March
31st
on
March
31st
2023
I
received
a
phone
call
from
the
property
owner.
He
stated
he
was
having
issues
with
the
architectural
drawings.
J
Several
further
inspections
were
also
completed
on
April
24th
and
May
8
2023
and
found
no
permits
had
been
applied
for
and
no
further
contact
had
been
made
from
the
property
owner
due
to
non-compliance.
The
property
was
referred
to
the
code
enforcement
board.
Compliance
can
only
be
achieved
by
utilizing
a
licensed
contractor
to
apply
for
proper
permits
for
all
work
that
has
been
completed
and
is
to
be
completed.
All
permits
are
to
be
applied
for
approved
and
issued.
J
A
hearing
notice
was
posted
on
the
property
on
May
24
2023,
a
cop
email
to
the
property
owner
via
certified
mail
and
posted
at
Tarpon
Springs,
City
Hall.
The
division
recommends
giving
the
respondent
until
June
22nd
2023
to
achieve
compliance
if
compliance
is
not
achieved.
The
suggested
daily,
fine
amount
adopted
by
the
board
would
impose
a
fine
of
75
dollars
per
day,
beginning
on
June
23
2023
until
the
property
is
brought
into
compliance,
Exhibit
2
is
going
to
be
the
photographs
of
the
property.
Sir
there's
a
binder
right
there.
A
P
Not
not
really
questions
the
only
the
only
thing
that
I
have
is
I
bought
the
property
in
disarray,
I
bought
it
and
I
believe.
Just
before
Christmas
we
closed
on
it.
When
we
went
up
there,
the
whole
front
porch
was
sagging
down
about
eight
inches.
My
company,
Atlas
is
just
one
of
my
companies.
P
I
am
a
state
licensed
certified
general
contractor
with
my
company
as
me,
being
a
rightful
owner
and
a
general
contractor
when
I
contacted
my
engineer,
because
I
intended
to
pull
the
permits
to
do
a
complete,
full
remodel
on
this
property,
he
told
me
that
he
needed
some
photos
of
the
structural
in
that
I
was
going
to
take
away
some
parts,
some
of
the
I
guess
some
of
the
sightings,
so
he
could
get
up
underneath
there
and
see
what
the
structure
was
like
per
building
code.
I.
Don't
need
a
permit
to
do
that.
P
P
I
did
contact
Miss,
Miss
Stoner
I
do
have
copies
of
I
have
finally
got
my
engineer.
Plans
I've
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
city
because
the
home
is
100
years
old.
Everything
to
the
house
was
never
permitted.
The
structure
is,
you
know,
obviously
in
compromised.
So
it's
been
a
lot
with
my
engineer.
It's
been
a
lot
with
everybody
to
get
all
these
plans
done.
P
I
received
my
first
set
of
plans
on
March
27th
and
at
that
time
I
told
Miss
Stoner
that
I
did
have
the
plans
and
I
was
going
to
contact
the
city
to
follow
for
the
permits
when
I
did
do.
That,
I
was
notified,
that
the
plans
needed
to
be
further
done
so
I
had
to
send
the
plans
back
and
have
more
work
done
on
the
plans.
P
A
P
Yeah
I'm
ready
to
fall
for
the
permits.
I
was
actually
going
to
do
it
this
week,
I
just
unfortunately,
I've
been
working
out
of
town
a
lot
and
on
a
project,
so
I
actually
had
to
fly
in
for
this
hearing
today.
N
P
A
F
G
One
brief
question:
you
mentioned
that
you
have
your
state
general
contractor's
license.
Are
you
also
registered
with
the
Pinellas
County
construction
industry
licensing
board?
Yes,.
G
My
understanding
is
that
only
the
Pinellas
County
one
is
required.
I'm
unaware
of
individual.
P
M
G
J
J
H
E
H
A
L
D
A
G
P
If
there's
an
issue
with
a
plan
review-
and
they
ask
for
another
letter
from
my
engineer
or
my
engineer-
to
do
something-
and
this
and
this
story-
and
they
and
this
starts
taking
longer
than
you
know
not
basically
just
on
my
not
just
totally
my
fault
but
on
everything-
is
that's
something
that
you
take
into
account.
Is
that
something
that's
gonna
I'm
still
gonna
be
held
accountable.
If
that
happens,
and
I
don't
acquire
the
correct
permits.
G
So
the
city
has
a
list
of
what
is
required
to
be
submitted
for
these
types
of
things
in
the
planning
department
and
what
is
required
to
the
information
that
is
required
to
be
contained
in
your
permit
application.
And
that
would
be
within
the
purview
of
the
board
to
examine
whether
or
not
the
city
has
received
all
those
items
which
are
required
for
the
permit
application.
Q
I'd
also
suggest
that
that
you
be
in
contact
with
code
enforcement
officer
and
make
sure
that
they're
aware
of
any
issues
that
are
coming
up
for
you.
P
K
Yes,
can
we
go
back
to
the
first
one
we're
going
to
have
to
continue
that
till
next
meeting,
because
we
do
not
have
the
ability
to
do
that
this
way,
we
need
a
few
days
advance
notice.
A
G
It
would
be
a
motion,
yes,
it
would
be.
We
need
a.
N
C
D
N
A
Opposed
that
moves
us
to
item
number
three
on
the
agenda.
This
is
case
number
two:
three
dash:
eight:
zero:
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero.
Nine
six
I
think
it's
Miss
Nguyen
at
612,
Lincoln
Avenue!
If
there's
anyone
here
for
that
case,
would
you
please
come
forward.
J
J
Several
further
inspections
were
also
completed
and
found
the
same,
and
no
contact
had
been
made
from
the
property
owner
due
to
non-compliance.
The
properties
refer
to
the
code
enforcement
board.
Compliance
can
only
be
achieved
by
properly
removing
all
tree
debris,
the
fallen
tree
and
Mowing,
and
maintaining
the
property
of
all
grass
weeds
and
other
vegetation
below
12
inches
in
height.
At
all
times,
a
hearing
notice
was
posted
on
the
property
on
May
24
2023,
a
copy
mailed
to
the
property
owner
via
certified
mail
and
posted
at
Tarpon
Springs,
City
Hall.
J
The
division
recommends
giving
the
respondent
until
June
22nd
2023,
to
achieve
compliance
if
compliance
is
not
achieved.
The
suggested
daily,
fine
amount
adopted
by
the
board
would
impose
a
fine
of
75
dollars
per
day,
beginning
on
June
23
2023.
Until
the
property
is
brought
into
compliance,
Exhibit
2
is
going
to
be
the
photographs
of
the
property.
J
J
The
certified
mail
receipt,
as
well
as
the
signature
card
and
the
Affidavit
of
posting.
The
notice
of
hearing
the
certified
mail
receipt
and
the
Affidavit
of
posting
exhibit
four
is
the
Pinellas
County
Property
Appraiser
and
the
tax
collector.
As
of
this
morning,
the
property
is
still
not
in
compliance.
I
did
receive
a
phone
call
late
yesterday
afternoon
from
the
property
owner's
daughter,
the
property
owner
resides
out
of
the
country
and
there's
no
way
to
contact
him
right
now.
A
J
This
is
this:
has
the
exemption
of
8-53
that
has
that,
where
it's
not
the
15
feet,
the
whole
property
does
need
to
be
cleared.
J
There
are
different
stipulations
in
the
ordinance
regarding
the
mowing.
It
goes
by
the
property
size
if
there's
ever
been
any
development
on
the
property,
how
close
it
is
to
a
public
right-of-way,
so
those
different
factors,
the
8-53,
is
anything
less
than
10.
000
square
feet
must
be
mowed
and
maintained,
Under
12
inches
at
all
times.
This
property
is
well
under
that
anything
over
ten
thousand
square
feet
has
different
parameters
of
the
15
feet.
You
know
on
the
the
right-of-way
in
and
neighboring
properties,
and
things
like
that.
So.

and
to
assess
a
fine

per
day,
beginning
on
June
23rd

Until
compliance
is
achieved
and
to
order
the
respondent
to
contact
the
code
enforcement
division,
to
arrange
for
re-inspection
of
the
property
to

compliance
of

My.
U
J
This
is
a
homesteaded
property
on
April
25th,
2023
I
inspected
the
property
located
at
1205
castleworks
Lane,
due
to
a
citizen
complaint
upon
arrival
of
the
property,
the
entire
front
yard
side,
yards
and
driveway
were
filled
with
items.
There
are
multiple
piles
and
pieces
of
large
wooden
posts,
beams,
railroad
ties
and
plywood
a
couch,
a
loveseat
mattresses
on
a

multiple
front
doors,

doors,
buckets
filing
cabinets,
tree
debris
and
other
junk
trash
and
debris
parked
in
the
grass
was
also
a
minivan.
J
That
appeared
has
not
been
moved
in
a
very
long
time
due
to
the
accumulation
of
algae
and
leaves
on
it
along
with
items
piled
around
it.

made
contact
with
the
property
owner
at
the
residence.
The
property
owner
advised
that
all
of
the
items
around
the
residence
belong
to
her
adult
son.
J
She
stated
she
would
speak
with
him
and
advise
that
it
needed
to
be
removed
and
cleaned
up.
She
has
provided
business
cards
and
asked
to
have
the
son
contact
the
division.
A
re-inspection
was
completed
on
May
15
2023
and
found
that
no
efforts
had
been
taken
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance.
Several
further
inspections
were
also
completed
and
found
the
same,
and
no
contact
had
been
made
from
the
property
owner
or
the
adult
son
due
to
non-compliance.
The
property
was
referred
to
the
code
enforcement
board.
J
Compliance
can
only
be
achieved
by
properly
removing
all
junk
trash
debris
and
other
items
from
the
property
or
storing
them
in
a
fully
enclosed
structure
having
all
vehicles,
including
trailers,
on
the
property
be
operable
with
full
tires
and
current
invalid
tag
and
registrations
properly,
removing
all
tree
debris
and
maintaining
the
property.
So
it
does
not
continue
to
be
a
nuisance
to
the
city.
A
hearing
notice
was
posted
on
the
property
on
May
24
2023,
a
copy
mailed
to
the
property
owner
via
certified
mail
and
posted
at
Tarpon
Springs,
City
Hall.
J
The
division
recommends
giving
the
respondent
until
June
22nd
2023
to
achieve
compliance.
If
compliance
is
not
achieved,
the
suggested
daily,
fine
amount
adopted
by
the
board
would
impose
a
fine
of
125
dollars
per
day
beginning
on
June
23
2023
exhibit
two
is
going
to
be
the
photographs
according
to
neighbors.
This
property
has
been
looking
like
this
for
over
five
years
and
it
just
continues
to
get
worse
every
day.
As
you
can
see
in
the
photographs.
J
There's
trailers
with
mattresses
on
it,
there's
living
room
furniture
in
the
yard,
railroad
ties
would
the
driveway
is
inaccessible
due
to
all
of
the
items
that
are
piled
up
in
it
over
on
the
side
of
the
property.
There's
household
items
buckets
filing
cabinets,
multiple
screen,
doors,
multiple
front
doors,
the
one
minivan
that's
parked
in
the
grass.
You
can
tell
that
it
has
not
been
moved
in
quite
some
time.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
got
valid
tag,
registration
or
if
it's
even
operable
trailers
had
flat
tires.
J
You
can
also
see
in
the
backyard
that
it
is
piled
high
as
well.
There's
also
another
vehicle
in
the
backyard
that's
got
items
stacked
on
top
of
it
exhibit
three
is
going
to
be
the
notice
of
violation,
the
certified
mail
receipt
and
the
signature
card,
along
with
the
Affidavit
of
posting,
the
notice
of
hearing
and
the
certified
mail
receipt
and
signature
card
along
with
the
Affidavit
of
posting,
exhibit
4
is
going
to
be
the
property
appraiser
and
the
tax
collector
when
I
found
out
the
property
owners
age
due
to
the
neighbors.
J
We
wanted
to
do
some
kind
of
like
a
community
project
to
assist
her
with
getting
this
cleaned
up.
We
were
not
able
to.
We
never
got
any
contact
back
from
her
after
officer
Boone
and
Sergeant
Miller
made
contact
with
her.
The
son
never
contacted.
We
went
back
out
several
times.
We
had
no
contact
from
anybody.
I
did
go
out
there.
J
This
morning,
a
majority
of
the
wood
pilings
in
the
front
yard
have
been
removed
from
the
front
yard,
to
the
side,
yard
and
stacked
up,
but
everything
else
is
still
there
and
it's
it's
not
close
to
compliance
at
this
time.
Our
biggest
fear,
though,
is
it
is
a
fire
hazard.
If
EMS
had
to
go
there,
they
would
not
be
able
to
access
the
front
door
very
easily,
and
the
conditions
of
the
backyard
are
unknown
either.
Just
from
what
you
can
see
over
the
fence.
M
A
A
R
About
the
other
vehicle
it
was
abandoned
there
a
couple
days
ago.
I
had
it
checked
out,
it
runs
fine,
it
it's
a
good
looking
vehicle.
It
runs
fine,
so
we're
good.
R
Apply
for
title
on
that
I
was
I've
been
running
around
from
three
to
four
different
tax,
collector
offices.
They
couldn't
get
me
in.
So
it's
going
to.
R
R
A
lot
of
the
stuff
was,
was
ours
and
basically
lost
the
place
that
it
was
at,
and
some
of
it
wasn't
ours,
but
we
were
keeping
it
for
people
and
they
didn't
come
back
quick
enough
to
get
it.
So
the
majority
of
it's
gone
a
little
bit
of
wood
in,
on
the
left
hand,
side.
R
There's
some
metal
that
has
to
I
got
a
guy
coming
to
pick
it
up
to
take
it
to
I,
think
Anclote
metals.
R
R
L
L
R
E
C
Question
just
a
question
for
the
inspector
it
looking
at
the
pictures.
It
looks
like
the
the
debris
is
actually
blocking
the
public
right
away.
Is
that
the
sidewalk?
Is
that
true?
Or
is
it
just
the.
J
Sidewalk
is
pretty
clear:
some
of
the
wood
was
covering,
it
has
been.
Okay,.
C
F
A
H
H
Q
On
the
property
located
in
1205
Castle
Works
Lane
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
34689
to
assess
a
fine
of
125
a
day,
beginning
June,
the
23rd
until
compliance
is
achieved
in
order
to
responded
to
connect
to
contact
the
code
enforcement
division
for
a
re-inspection
of
the
property.
In
compliance
with
the
board's
order.
L
M
D
D
C
H
A
G
So
the
board
has
found
that
the
property
is
in
violation
of
the
city's
code
of
ordinances.
The
respondent
has
until
June
23
2023
to
remove
all
items
from
the
front
yard.
In
accordance
with
the
board's
order,
and
following
that
date,
a
fine
of
125
dollars
per
day
will
be
imposed
on
the
property
after
June
23rd,
you
have
until
June
23rd.
R
A
A
D
Name
ma'am.
He
liked
to
speak
for
us.
U
J
This
is
not
a
homesteaded
property
on
May
12,
2023
I
inspected
the
property
located
at
616
Charlotte
Avenue,
due
to
a
citizen
complaint.
This
property
is
currently
being
utilized
as
a
short-term
vacation,
rental
or
tourist
home,
which
is
not
allowable
in
the
r100
residential
zoning
District.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
this
is
the
second
violation
for
the
same.
In
less
than
30
days
on
April
18
2023,
the
first
complaint
was
obtained
and
a
notice
of
violation
was
issued.
The
case
came
into
compliance
on
April
18
2023
and
was
closed.
J
Now
there
has
been
another
complaint,
as
the
property
has
changed
the
listing
back
to
a
less
than
six
weeks.
The
property
was
posted
with
a
second
notice
of
violation,
with
a
compliance
date
of
May
22
2023,
a
copy
mailed
to
the
property
owner
via
certified
mail
and
posted
a
Tarpon
Springs
City
Hall,
a
re-inspection
was
completed
on
May
22nd
2023
and
found
that
no
efforts
had
been
taken
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance.
J
Due
to
this
being
the
second
violation.
In
less
than
30
days,
the
property
was
referred
to
the
code
enforcement
board.
Compliance
can
only
be
achieved
by
not
utilizing
the
property
as
a
short-term
vacation,
rental
or
tourist
home
for
less
than
six
weeks.
At
a
time,
a
hearing
notice
was
posted
on
the
property
on
May
24
2023,
a
copy
mailed
to
the
property
owner
via
certified
mail
and
posted
at
Tarpon
Springs,
City
Hall.
J
The
division
recommends
giving
the
respondent
until
June
22nd
2023
to
achieve
compliance.
If
compliance
is
not
achieved,
suggest
a
daily
fine
amount
adopted
by
the
board
would
impose
a
spine
of
75
dollars
per
day,
beginning
on
June
23rd
2023.
Until
the
property
is
brought
into
compliance,
Exhibit
2
is
going
to
be
the
Tarpon
Springs
GIS
r100a
zoning.
That
shows
that
that
is
what
the
house
is
listed,
as
well
as
the
VRBO
vacation
listing.
J
The
available
dates
and
the
available
time
frames
that
you
can
have
it
exhibit
three
is
going
to
be
the
notice
of
violation,
the
certified
mail
receipt
and
the
Affidavit
of
posting,
the
notice
of
hearing
the
certified
mail
receipt
and
the
Affidavit
of
posting
and
exhibit
four
is
going
to
be
the
Pinellas
County,
Property,
Appraiser
and
tax
collector
and
exhibit
5
is
going
to
be
an
email
from
the
complainant.
J
A
U
U
U
J
U
U
We
immediately
changed
when
I
called
you
the
second
time
as
soon
as
we
received
notice,
I
changed
the
listing
to
42
days,
so
it
wasn't
back
and
forth.
It
was
that
way.
We
didn't
even
think
about
after
the
first
violation
notice
to
change
that
it
was
an
issue
with
the
ad
and
I'll
go
further.
If
I
may
with
another
statement,
if
that's
okay.
C
F
U
They
closed,
yes,
sir.
They
closed.
Well,
we
didn't
know
we
were
in
violation
number
one
number
two.
We
were
not
in
violation
as
as
the
storm
will
attest
to.
We
had
a
an
eight-week
lease
which
we
provided
and
that's
why
she
closed.
We
were
not
renting
to
anybody
less
than
six
weeks,
so
we
provided
the
lease
she.
U
So
initially
the
initial
ad-
we
you
know
we
didn't
even
know
about
the
six
week
thing,
that's
what
we
we
did
so
that.
U
U
Ma'am.
Thank
you.
For
almost
20
years
now,
chabe
zikas
has
been
a
loyal
tax,
paying
property
owned
in
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
without
any
code
violation
of
any
kind
brought
against
her
on
or
after
April
17
2023.
We
received
notice
of
of
a
potential
violation
on
the
property
at
616
Charlotte
Avenue.
U
U
U
The
response
was
stunning
and
confusing.
We
were
told
that
we
were
not
in
violation
of
code
for
the
current
tenant
at
the
property,
but
we
were
in
violation
of
the
code,
because
the
ad
in
VRBO
still
indicated
that
we
could
do
shorter
term
lodging
going
forward
for
the
record.
We
immediately
changed
our
VRBO
listing
to
reflect
the
42-night
minimum
stay.
Of
course,
if
we
were
to
accept
and
finalize
the
short-term
visit
less
than
the
minimum
State
noted
in
the
code,
we
totally
understand
that
we
would
then
be
in
violation
of
the
code.
U
However,
if,
until
such
time
as
we
accept
and
finalize
a
short-term
stay
less
than
a
minimum,
I
repeat,
unless
we
accept
and
finalize
such
a
stay,
we
should
not
be
held
in
violation
of
the
code.
We
haven't
found
any
specific
wording
in
the
code
that
allows
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
authority
to
regulate
advertising.
U
U
There
is
no
question
that
the
overwhelming
biggest
industry
in
the
State
of
Florida
is
tourism
income
income
income.
Why
is
it
that
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
restricts
tourism
and
yes,
restricting
vacation
rental
availability
without
question
negatively
impacts
potential
tourism,
income
to
our
city,
negative
to
our
area,
Merchants,
restaurants,
shops
and
even
to
our
property
tax
base?
U
Unless
visitors
and
vacationers
who
want
to
stay
in
the
city,
albeit
individuals,
couples,
professional
business
people
and,
of
course,
families
with
children
stay
at
a
hotel,
while
here
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
labels
and
calls
all
of
them
per
the
code
transients,
we
feel
this
is
very
misguided
and
actually
quite
demeaning,
quite
a
demeaning
representation
and
labeling
of
these
people.
This
code
should
be
eliminated.
U
Our
hope
is
that
the
City
commissioners
will
open
our
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
to
literally
the
World,
by
ending
the
vacation
rental
restrictions
and
allowing
the
massive
tourism
dollars
we
currently
lose
and
restrict
by
not
allowing
short-term
vacation
rentals
to
flourish
abundantly
for
the
benefit
of
us
all.
Thank
you.
That's
the
end
of
our
statement.
U
A
J
I've
spoken
to
this
gentleman
several
times
and
I,
he
has
said
his
displeasure
of
not
having
vacation
rentals,
to
which
I
told
him
that
this
was
not
the
place
for
that.
This
is
just
for
a
violation.
He
can
take
his
concerns
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
that's
where
he
would
need
to
speak
regarding
having
them
as
far
as
somebody
being
paid
sitting
on
a
computer
to
find
these
violations.
That's
that's
inaccurate.
F
J
C
For
this,
if
I
may
add
on
to
that,
okay
I
appreciate
your
letter,
it's
a
great
diet,
tribe
and
it's
fantastic.
But
as
the
chair
noted,
the
city
is
zoned
differently.
There
are
short
stay
zoning
and
there's
long
stay
zoning
you
fall
into
the
42-day
zoning.
As
for
your
your
advertisement,
it's
incumbent
upon
you
to
keep
it
up
to
date.
Ignorance
of
the
law
does
not
let
you
off
the
law.
C
I
mean
it's
still
incumbent
upon
you
to
be
aware
of
that
and
take
care
of
that,
and
the
other
thing
is:
if
you
get
a
lease
okay,
the
code
enforcement
officer
can
only
go
on
number
one.
There's
a
complaint
by
your
neighbor
number.
Two,
your
VRBO
ad
says
x,
amount
of
days,
I
mean
I'm,
sorry,
she's,
not
the
property
manager.
She
can
only
go
by
the
evidence
that
is
presented
to
her
that's
available
to
her.
Yes,.
K
U
D
C
But
also
when
you
purchase
the
real
most
Realtors
will
say
what
what
your
zoning
is
and
also,
if
you
look
at
your
your
yes,
your
property,
your
your
your
deed
or
whatever
is
listed
in
the
property.
The
Property
Appraiser's
office
it'll
show
you
what
it
is
well.
U
Bottom
line
we've
never
ever
understood
at
least
a
short-term
less
than
six
weeks
for
this
property.
We've
had
two
rentals
actually
one
for
three
months,
and
so
the
the
fact
that
someone
said
you
know
that
are
the
last
complaint
was
that
so
people
are
in
and
out.
That
was
just
not
the
case.
We've
had
two
one.
C
Good,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
the
code
enforcement
officer
got
a
complaint
from
your
neighbor?
The
neighbor
said:
hey.
This
is
a
short-term
person
here
this
person's
been
staying
for
a
couple
days.
The
code
enforcement
officer
took
her
time
to
go
and
quote
sit
on
the
internet,
which
I
take
offense
to
saying
that
to
research.
C
Okay,
yes,
sir,
you
spoke
my
turn.
Yes,
sir,
went
in
and
researched
this
and
said
my
God.
This
thing
is
still.
This
is
a
short-term
rental,
so
you
know
I'm,
sorry,
A,
plus
b
definitely
equals
c
here,
because
she
saw
the
evidence
that
was
presented
to
her.
You
know,
by
the
neighbor
and
by
your
ad
and
she
act
upon
it.
You
know
definitely
dutifully
I.
I
J
U
U
U
D
G
The
code
inspector
Miss
Stoner
the
first
case
that.
G
G
Never
heard
okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
not
an
existing
order,
because
I
didn't
see
it
in
your
backup
channels.
Okay,
and
when
you
sent
them
the
initial
notice
of
violation,
did
you
give
them
a
certain
amount
of
time
to
comply?
Yes,
ma'am
and
did
they
comply
by
the
time
you
had
set
for
compliance?
Yes,.
J
Ma'am,
that's
the
are
you
speaking
of
the
first
case,
I'm,

I'm
speaking
about
in

No,

No.

in
this
case
by
the
date
that
you
said
you
went
and
you
checked,
and
it
still
had
not
been
updated.
Yes,
ma'am,
okay,
one
thing
I
would
like
to
point
out
to
the
board
and
make
sure
it's
clear.
I
can't
remember
exactly
the
name
of
the
the
federal
law,
but
there
is
a
federal
law
that
exists.
G
That
says,
when
you
are
basically
a
third
party
Hoster,
so
Airbnb
and
VRBO
are
what
are
known
as
third
party
hosters,
meaning
that
they
are
not
responsible
for
the
information
that
is
posted
on
their
site
and
in
other
jurisdictions
where
they
have
directly
gone
after
Airbnb
and
VRBO.
The
result
of
that
type
of
litigation
has
been
that
the
onus
is
on
the
property
property
owner
and
the
people
who
are
responsible
for
the
property,
who
are
posting
that
information
online.

Opposed
thank
you.
There
are
no

There
are
no
consents
being

There
are
no
Quests
for
fine
violations.
A
J
Know
that
and
I
did
want
to
mention
too,
with
the
short-term
rentals.
We
do
have
quite
a
few
complaints
coming
in
as
far
as
the
suggested
daily
fine
I
put
it
under
needing
the
use
of
a
permit
at
75
a
day
as
a
generic.
If
that's
something
that
the
board
wants
to
discuss
and
change,
we've
had
some
complaints
that
have
said
well,
if
they're
renting
it
for
350
a
night
75
a
day
is
not
going
to
hurt
them
at
all,
they're
just
going
to
continue
to
do
it.
J
K
On
repeat
value
relations,
we
are
going
to
probably
ask
for
the
maximum
in
those
cases
because,
like
like
Sydney
just
said,
75
dollars
or
150
dollars
right
the
only
way
you're
going
to
get
anybody's
attention
on
these
is
if
it's
500.
C
K
A
F
J
C
N
A
And
although
we
tried
to
say
it
to
the
fellow
that
came
today,
you
know
what
the
zoning
is
when
you
buy
these
properties.
Yes,
so
it's
not
on
us
or
the
city
commission
to
change
the
rules
just
because
they
want
to
rent
their
property.
They
either
should
have
bought
a
different
one
or
considered
a
different
form
of
investing
I.
Think
but
yeah.
J
And
these
are
a
lot
of
the
smaller
ones.
I've
actually
had
cases
that
they're
renting
them
for
two
three
thousand
dollars
a
night
over
on
the
water,
and
it's
just
crushing
these
people
that
they
can't
have
them
after
they
spend
over
a
million
dollars
on
the
home,
but
they
come
into
compliance
and
they
do
what
they
need
to
do.
It's
just
some,
don't
thank
you.
Anybody.
