21
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:53.200
old cases. The uh first of the five. Case number 2026-00854. Officer Katie. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. >> Good evening. >> This is a recap on the case of 106 Lyall. uh the continuence till for 30

22
00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:14.839
days that we had. I have been monitoring the location. Uh I have taken several [snorts] photos as you can see there. Way I can just turn them on. [clears throat] Yeah.

23
00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:32.079
Correct. Well, the I took several photos. These first few photos are from the back end of the property uh that that the homeless encampment is part of.

24
00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:46.800
And as you can tell, it's starting to get cleaned up. Uh in the month that I've been there, I've been checking basically weekly. I um on the 27th, I'm

25
00:11:46.800 --> 00:12:04.000
sorry, uh on the 18th, I believe, 19 20th, I think it was, that Mrs. Gonzalez was transferred to the hospital. Uh reference an infection in her feet. She was at OMC for like a week and a half, two weeks. She's now in a rehab center.

26
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:20.639
But this goes to show this picture here. It shows that the electricity has been turned on. She has running water. This is part of the cleanup in the back yard. And just bear with me with these pictures. The other side of the yard that's been cleaned up. It's an immense

27
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:36.160
change. Again, pictures in the back. This is one of the seven sheds she had in the back of the house after it's been emptied out. Uh and in process of cleaning these sheds,

28
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:54.560
piles on the side of the house that are getting cleaned up. And this is the metal work that they're going to they're separating the debris into metal and plastic and whatnot. They're going to get rid of that. Uh I believe uh Mr. Anderson has utilized two

29
00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:11.680
trailers per day out taking trash out. I think he said the comment was somewhere around uh 15,000 pounds of debris to the dump. Uh this is a car we found in their garage. Uh that's been cleaned out.

30
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:27.760
Uh that's the garage that they're cleaning out. This is the entrance into the house, which I've never actually got into. Uh as you can see, quite a bit of hoarding materials inside, but there is light. So the progression is in the

31
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:48.240
right direction. Uh on the 11th I had access to this entire property as the photos show. Um I had further access on the 15th and I entered the home itself. There is still a lot of work to be done. I would like the city would like to ask for another

32
00:13:48.240 --> 00:14:12.880
30-day continuence. >> Officer Katie, is there anything else you'd like to add? I don't have anything else at this time. I think we >> need another 30 days to see where they can >> but it it I I I do remember some of these pictures from last month and it

33
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:29.040
does look like there's been some positive movement. So, I was just reading over uh you said they do have uh uh electric and running water on the property. Yes. I know that was two of our concerns. So, >> well, we

34
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:44.880
they're going to need a little more time before they can get a certificate of occupancy from the building department. >> All right. >> And Mr. Anderson assures me that they're working on it. And I I see I see work. It's not like they're not doing anything. And the homeless are gone from the back of the house.

35
00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:59.680
>> Wow. >> For the most part. >> Good. >> Okay. Um if you don't have any I guess Mr. Anderson is here. Mr. Anderson, would you like to uh come up to the podium [clears throat] again? State your name and then uh fill us in.

36
00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:16.079
>> Scott Anderson, 106 L Street. Um first of all, I want to thank the board for listening to us last last month and giving us the 30 days instead of the 15 days. I think it was spearheaded by um Mrs. Brown. Uh thank you very much. Um I

37
00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:31.680
also want to thank the police department. They've been very good, very, very aggressive from a standpoint that when we needed them, uh, they came right out there when when the homeless were out there, we got them all out. They did a wonderful job helping us every night on doing that. Next door

38
00:15:31.680 --> 00:15:48.480
neighbor who was here before has been calling me every night if there's someone going on the property and I'm right out there to make sure because Miss Gonzalez is uh, still in rehab. Um, we've used the time wisely and we've done a lot um, as much as possible. It's

39
00:15:48.480 --> 00:16:03.920
not 1,500 pounds, it's 15 tons we've done. And I have the I have the dumps at uh, over on Good Homes Road at the Porter Transfer those bags. We are doing two to three of those big dual axle and

40
00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:21.201
in plastic bags and then a couple other things. But we've been doing that every day and trying to be wise on keeping the trailer to out of the way of egress from other other um people using that. Um

41
00:16:21.201 --> 00:16:37.120
[clears throat] we're going to keep working on this for her and um I think we need um because she's been there 30 plus years, you know, everyone hoards a little bit. She just doesn't have anyone around. So the homeless were becoming friends, but all

42
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:54.240
they were was just using her. So, um I think that she has the necessary tools where she's at now. They're helping her with her hoarding and uh I think some of her family members will help. They they they weren't before, but I think they're going to and her church members are

43
00:16:54.240 --> 00:17:10.480
helping. So, I think you'll see in the next 30 days, I think you'll see a vast difference in what's being done. Um, and answering the question about uh the only part that we're having a problem with is when you go in the house, I think you were stepping on the foam stuff because

44
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:26.240
underneath it is pretty pretty rigid. Um, but yeah, we're going to [clears throat] try to do what we can to get all that done to where her quality of life is improved and I I appreciate the board's uh lenience on on helping us out on that part.

45
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:43.600
>> Okay. Does the uh board members have any questions for Mr. Anderson? >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. Appreciate it.

46
00:17:43.600 --> 00:18:01.280
And uh Officer Katie, um the city's recommending a 30-day continuance. >> Continuence. Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. Any other questions? If not, we need a

00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:25.840
Based on the finding, the city is rec is requesting in 15 days to come into compliance or impose a fine of $250 per day per violation until property is in compliance. And here are the some exhibits from the the property

93
00:32:25.840 --> 00:32:58.640
itself. >> [clears throat] >> Okay. Does anybody have any questions for Officer Toby? >> I heard I heard the um 15 days, but I didn't hear the amount. Sir.

94
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:22.559
>> Sir, >> you're speak Phobe. The um the fine amount was 250. >> Yes, sir. 250. >> Thank you. >> All right. Uh we have somebody here to speak on that tonight.

95
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:38.000
Mr. Edwin Ivy, please uh come up to the public speaking area and state your name, address >> for us. Thank you. >> All right. Uh I'm Edwin Ivy. I uh

96
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:53.519
uh I had a Guatemalan who was doing a mighty fine job and I even owed him some money, but unair apparently the Trumpster has sent him fleeing for his life, I guess.

97
00:33:53.519 --> 00:34:09.679
So, he hasn't been back. So, uh I was too lazy to get out there in that sun uh May and start mowing myself. But, uh since I got his notice, I got fired up and got on the lawn mower

98
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:27.040
and decided I'd do it myself and I've gone out and mowed it. And uh I uh I think I've got it all under the only thing that I mentioned to the man was underneath the trees I have Boston ferns

99
00:34:27.040 --> 00:34:43.119
which is ground cover. I not planning on mowing that but everything else uh uh I've mowed and there are some weeds that grew up around some limbs that were in the ground and I put weed killer on that and it seems to be working.

100
00:34:43.119 --> 00:35:00.160
So, uh, I believe that within the next, uh, well, I think I'm already in compliance now, but I will represent that I'll, despite the heat, get the heck out there and get on the lawnmower and

101
00:35:00.160 --> 00:35:16.160
get going. I can't uh I don't think my Guatemalan's going to come back. Something tells me from what I see on the news, he isn't going to be around anytime soon. So, uh, looks like I'll have to do it. >> All right. Well, >> I'll get to work.

102
00:35:16.160 --> 00:35:33.359
>> All right, Mr. Ivy, we appreciate you taking care of that. I know it gets hot out there, but >> just, you know, there's times of the day to go out there and there's times not to, but before you leave, does any of the board members have any questions for Mr. Ivy? >> It is. No. All right. I do. I'm sorry.

103
00:35:33.359 --> 00:35:47.760
M, [clears throat] question. I heard Mr. Ivan, right, say that he was in complant right now. Well, I guess that's his opinion that he's in compliance. >> I just want it to be clear. >> What What What else is there? Have Have

104
00:35:47.760 --> 00:36:06.000
you seen that? But I What other uh uh I've already mowed all that area that you're showing right there? >> Yeah, he did. He mowed some of it, but all the tall weeds by the fence and all that is still there. And see if I don't

105
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:22.240
know if I have photos of the front of the property. Some of the property he mowed and by the time he gets to the next section, the other property mowed up again. So, it's right back to where it was. >> I understand. Thank you. >> So, he recognizes that he's going to have to continue to mow it. Just a one

106
00:36:22.240 --> 00:36:38.560
time. >> Officer Tubby, I see the reinspection date is June 23rd. Um, was there a more recent inspection date? >> I'm over there like once once a day I I drive by. Every day I drive by there.

107
00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:53.520
>> All right. >> And check on it. So, >> okay. All right. >> And I did notice that um Mr. Ivan said that he refused to cut one section. >> What >> was there a section that you were refusing to cut down?

108
00:36:53.520 --> 00:37:09.119
>> Not really. >> Okay. Thank you, sir. >> I think you were talking about mention ground cover. >> Ground cover. >> The ground cover of the ivy. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, the wherever the Boston ferns are around the trees. I I wasn't planning on cutting that, but uh

109
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:25.119
it's the far as the grass, there's no problem. I I'll gladly cut that down. There's no pro reason why not. >> So, you are in agreements that you will cut it down. >> Oh, sure. I'll mow the grass. Yeah, I I

110
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:38.079
understand that. >> And everything else that puts you in violation, sir? >> Well, I my impression is that's the only thing that was putting me in violation. If there's something else, Mr. Toby can call and tell me about it.

111
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:55.920

183
01:00:02.319 --> 01:00:27.200
Officer Katy [clears throat] again. Good evening, Officer Katie, City of AOE, code enforcement. Case number 2026 01954 regarding the property at 2525 Dovetail Drive. On June 8th, 2026, this officer did

184
01:00:27.200 --> 01:00:42.799
observe the proper property located at 2525 Dovetail Drive to be in violation of the following city code 115-3, public nuisance. On June 8th, I verified the property owner to be Aria Cherry as

185
01:00:42.799 --> 01:00:57.280
confirmed by the Orange County Property Appraiser. A notice of violation was then posted on the property, sent by email. The property owner was given until June 25th to correct the violation. On June 26th, the property

186
01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:15.359
was reinspected and found non-compliant with the code as cited. On July 2nd, a notice of hearing was sent to the property owner, posted at the property, and posted in city hall lobby. As of today's hearing, the property remains in violation of city code 115-3.

187
01:01:15.359 --> 01:01:30.400
I've also made contact with the owner on June 8th. I explained to Miss Cherry that the city code as well as informing her of what was in violation. She was not very responsive to my comments. Additionally, since July 2023, the

188
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:46.559
property has had 21 complaints. Out of those complaints, five have been dismissed. Out of the 16 remaining complaints, seven of them have been related to the violation being present today. Besides the case being presented today, the property does have another case that

189
01:01:46.559 --> 01:02:01.599
was brought forth for operating a business without the business tax license. That case is currently acrewing fines. Overall, the property has been a nuisance with multiple complaints being filed and several phone calls and contact being made by the code

190
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:22.240
enforcement unit. And I'm going to let you take a gander at these pictures, [clears throat] tires, trash around the the east side of the home, broken down toys. These here are actually bounce houses as part of

191
01:02:22.240 --> 01:03:07.040
the business. Where's the rest of my photos? Okay. The rest of my photos are Yeah. Officer Katie, so you've been in contact with her? >> Yes. Just the very first day when I

192
01:03:07.040 --> 01:03:22.640
posted the first uh notice of violation >> and she hasn't been very receptive. >> No, sir. It No. >> Okay. Uh just out of curiosity, um I know you mentioned you posted a notice on the on the property. Um where did you post that notice?

193
01:03:22.640 --> 01:03:39.119
>> I post anytime I post any notice, either notice of hearing or notice of violation, I do it on the front door. >> Perfect. Um in the future, could you make sure you take a picture of that? >> I I I I actually do have the pictures of it. >> All right. >> I must have not uploaded them correctly.

194
01:03:39.119 --> 01:04:02.799
>> I understand. Well, um I appreciate that. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Does anybody have any questions for Officer Katie at this point? >> What was your recommendation? >> Oh, yeah. >> Uh 15 days and $250 per violation. >> If there's no um questions for the

195
01:04:02.799 --> 01:04:19.119
officer, I'll take a motion. >> I'll go ahead and I'll make a motion. >> Uh >> go ahead. member will >> I move that in case number 2026 01954 the respondent be found in violation of

196
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:34.640
code as cited as of compliance date of June 25th 2026 and be given until July 31st 2026 to come into compliance or be fined $250 per day per violation until found in

197
01:04:34.640 --> 01:04:53.520
compliance. >> I second that motion. All right, we have a motion on the floor made by member Whittle, seconded by member Brown, that in case number 2026-01954 that the respondent be found in violation

198
01:04:53.520 --> 01:05:08.880
as of the compliance date, June 25th, 2026, and give it until July 31st, 2026 to come into compliance and be fined $250 per day as long as the violation remains in non-compliance.

199
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:26.480
Any discussion? Let's take a vote. Those in favor press yes. Those opposed press no. Votes are in and it passes unanimously. Thank you, Officer Key. All right. So, that that re uh takes care of uh our cases for the evening. We have

200
01:05:26.480 --> 01:06:02.640
some case resolutions that we need to go through. All right. Yeah. First case is uh 2024-03865. Officer Laughler. Yes, sir. Uh that [clears throat] was the case that involved uh Stonegate

201
01:06:02.640 --> 01:06:19.280
Drive with no address, just a parcel ID number. On May 21st, 2026, the property was found in violation of code 45-13A and that was for the tree removals throughout the community.

202
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:34.799
And they were given until by this board June 20th, 2026 to come into compliance or be fined $100 per day per violation. As of today's hearing, the property is still non-compliance with all the codes as cited. The city is requesting a order

203
01:06:34.799 --> 01:06:56.160
imposing fine of $100 per day for the violation starting on June 20th, 2026. I think it's the one violation 45-13A. >> We have somebody here to speak. >> Oh, we do. >> Uh yes. Good evening. Uh Nick Lip, development services director for the

204
01:06:56.160 --> 01:07:11.280
city of AOE. Uh we're actually working with the homeowners association right now on doing a revised site plan to demonstrate the trees that they removed and a tree replacement plan. Um so I guess the development services team would ask for continuence of this as we

205
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:27.839
work with the homeowners association to develop that plan which would have to come forth to the uh city commission for approval and then we can bring it back to you all as a plan for uh remediating you know this code violation. >> All right. Can can you I'm sorry I I I

206
01:07:27.839 --> 01:07:44.240
missed all of that at the beginning. Oh, sure. Can you explain again who you are and and your relationship to this case? >> So, uh Nick Lep, I'm the development services director for the city of Akoi. So, in part of our code of ordinances to remove a large number of street trees, you have to come into the development

207
01:07:44.240 --> 01:08:02.000
services department with a site plan identifying the street trees that you want to remove because it's more than just one. It's a lot and it's on a homeowners association. So it's not associated with each individual homeowner itself. It's part of the whole HOA as it was designed as part of the

208
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:17.120
plan unit development. So in order to remove these trees, which several have been removed, which is the violation, uh we're working with the HOA to not only identify the trees that were removed, trees that may still need to be removed based on their arborist report, and then

209
01:08:17.120 --> 01:08:33.839
a plan to replace those trees uh within the development. So, that's going to take us a little bit of time to work through. Uh, we've already met with the HOA and come up with the kind of the framework of which trees have been removed and we have an idea of where we would like to replace the trees. Uh, we

210
01:08:33.839 --> 01:08:48.880
just need to come up with that formalized and then bring it in front of the city commission per our code uh to get approval of that since it was part of a large development and then after that we can present it to the code enforcement board to help uh alleviate this code violation.

211
01:08:48.880 --> 01:09:03.839
>> So, so how do I'm sorry. No. So essentially what you're saying is this this actually may not be a violation if these trees that were removed were deemed >> necessary to be removed. >> No, it was a violation because they removed them without coming to us to

212
01:09:03.839 --> 01:09:20.719
begin with with a plan itself of saying these trees are causing hazard. We would like to remove those. Here's our overall site plan and here's our remediation plan. >> Since it was not done previously, that's why they are violation of the code. But we are working with them currently to

213
01:09:20.719 --> 01:09:36.080
make sure that they can become in compliance by going through all of our proper procedures. >> So how does your role as a city agency um work in conjunction with the recommendation that the city is saying now?

214
01:09:36.080 --> 01:09:50.880
>> So I'm not sure that that has been conveyed to officer Lafler. Uh so we are going to be working with uh them uh more frequently on these code violations and what the development services department is doing to help alleviate that. The HOA

215
01:09:50.880 --> 01:10:08.880
came to us uh with this idea and plan w as a code violation. We just did not get the opportunity to work with code enforcement to make sure this was continued or to let them know that this project we're working on this project with the HOA hoping to have a nice elegant resolution uh to this code

216
01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:24.719
violation. How much? >> But they're recommending a fine right now. They're recommending that the city that we impose a fine. >> So if we impose a fine, how does what you're doing uh negate that? >> There will be a fine starting from June

217
01:10:24.719 --> 01:10:39.760
20th. >> And it seems like it's going to be a lengthy process what you're going to do. So they're going going to be fined $100 a day >> until you come up with something and then you're going to go back to the code enforcement. Well, what we're asking for is a continuence of the fine and not do

218
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:55.760
a fine right now as we're working with the homeowners association to remedy this situation. Uh they have been in contact with us and working with us quite diligently on this but we still need to bring it and put it in front of the commission agenda which depending on the how much room there is and with

219
01:10:55.760 --> 01:11:11.520
budgeting coming up that's why I don't have an exact time frame but we are working on that with the HOA president uh currently >> but that's not what the city's asking. >> Yeah. based on what the city's asking for. >> What the city? >> Yeah. >> Well, the city, we are both a city and the city's asking.

220
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:28.159
>> Yeah. Yeah. We're both continu You're asking for a fine. >> Previously, we were not on probably the same page. We're looking to get on the same page as two departments uh to make sure that we don't come into this situation again. But yes, uh this was previously done and now we're looking to coordinate a lot more on these code

221
01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:44.080
violations along with uh the building which is why not put not to put officer Laughler on the spot here >> but uh I would not he he he's a gentleman who who brought this uh to our attention and this is the first time we're meeting with you and we appreciate

222
01:11:44.080 --> 01:12:00.719
you being here and and explaining what the uh the development services uh you know um department is planning on doing. Um, and we appreciate that. But Officer Laughler, um, do you want to weigh in on this? Yes.

223
01:12:00.719 --> 01:12:16.239
>> The city's got a new recommendation. [laughter] >> So, >> to continue with this case. >> So, my my question here would be, sorry, is you're asking, but you got to give us a date for continuence. So you got to give us a date because as

224
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:32.080
we stand here, you ask us to continue, but the fine is still there wrapping up. >> So if you want us to continue, you got to give us a date that you think this could come to a resolution so we could recommend that date. >> Sure. >> And move on.

225
01:12:32.080 --> 01:12:48.159
>> I would recommend 45 days, but you >> Good evening, chair and board. Um, being that this is going to be a lengthy process, this is nothing new. This of course this should have been worked out. Um can we I would recommend a 90-day

226
01:12:48.159 --> 01:13:04.080
extension until we can make sure that we get these u permits and everything cuz we talking about homeowners association a plan and all of that stuff. So at 90 days we can come back and evaluate this. >> Okay. >> Does that sound reasonable? >> Because I don't think 45 days is going

227
01:13:04.080 --> 01:13:20.480
to be enough to get the trees and the plant. >> Now we got three city people in here. >> I know this should have been worked out prior to. So this this is This case is over a year year and a half old. Yeah. >> And there was a complaintant or I wouldn't even have known about it. So >> because this has to go to commission the

228
01:13:20.480 --> 01:13:36.400
agenda a whole bunch of variables in this equation. >> So then the recommendation would be from the city for a 90-day >> 90day extension. That's correct. Yes. >> With no fine >> with would but but still the but still with the imposition of the fine if it

229
01:13:36.400 --> 01:13:52.640
isn't resolved or you ask for another continuence then >> a continuous on the fine and that for 90 days please. Uh what what did you just ask? >> So what we we don't want a finding a violation. >> No you you're asking but you would be asking for a 90-day continuence but if

230
01:13:52.640 --> 01:14:07.840
it's not resolved either for another continuence but you we would still have to impose the fine >> after 90 days. I I I think when we return, we'll decide whether we impose a fine or have another continuation. >> Yeah, it it sounds like, you know, um

231
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:26.480
there's some type of remediation you were saying that would probably happen anyway. So, >> a fine right now would not be beneficial. >> So, if it if it ends up coming down to being a finable offense, does it go back to the June 20th 26th date? >> That's what I'm trying to get. That will

232
01:14:26.480 --> 01:14:44.560
be the original date, right? Yes. >> Yeah. If no resolution occurs and no compliance. Yes. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. You got your you got your leverage, Mr. Lip. [laughter] >> All right. Now, after all that, somebody's going to have to make a motion.

233
01:14:44.560 --> 01:15:02.400
>> Sure. Um, I'd like to be recognized. >> Remember what? >> Yeah. I move in um >> I move that in case 2022 44 03 865

234
01:15:02.400 --> 01:15:29.840
uh the compliance date set by the board be extended 90 days to October 14, 2026. Can you say that again? I'm sorry. >> Sure. I move that in case 2024

01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:50.400
03865 that the case be continued to October 14th of 2026 to be reviewed for at that code board meeting. >> I second that.
