Note: The Respondent was present. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2019 PAGE 5 OF 7 Chairperson Criswell invited the respondent to address the Code Enforcement Board. Ms. Karee Hyman -Robinson, 223 Sherry Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: stated, "I did speak to Captain Tracht. I did let him know that unfortunately I went through a third -party company, adjuster, to get the roof fixed and also I had other issues with the home. They're taking longer that expected and he suggested that he'll ask for sixty to ninety (60-90) days. I did sign the contract with them, so the only thing that is left is for the insurance to send the check out and I would need to get it processed. I did get an estimate on the roof by more than one (1) roofer and so I do have options as to who I would want to fix my roof. It's just taking a little bit of time and so I'm asking if I could get a little bit more than sixty (60) days just in case. I don't know how long because it's really been drawn out and I am trying to get in touch with the adjusters to find out what is going on and why it's taking so long. So, at least ninety (90) days, the minimum. I am asking for. Although the roofers I talked to, they did tell me it doesn't take long to get it fixed, within a day or two (2)." Vice -Chairperson Maurice Kaprow asked about the Respondent having a contract to which Ms. Hyman -Robinson responded that she was waiting for a check from the insurance company before any work would begin. Board Member Dennis Robinson asked when the claim was approved to which Ms. Hyman -Robinson responded that she was unsure but was willing to share documents she had brought. Chairperson Criswell noted that the Respondent would still need to get permits and recommended giving the respondent 120 days to come in to compliance which would be December 23,d with Code Enforcement going to look at the property. Captain Tracht stated, "I would not be opposed to that." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD REGULAR MEETING -AUGUST 27, 2019 PAGE 6 OF 7 Senior City Attorney Jennifer Nix noted that the Board may want to wait to get the referenced document or may not even wish to take the document in to evidence. Discussion followed regarding December 23rd, 2019 as a date by which the property would need to be in compliance and that Captain Tracht would be responsible for checking on the property at that time and bringing back a Non -Compliance Case if necessary.
