The Respondent was not present.
Captain Matthew Tracht first began with introducing a new employee to
the board Ms. Mariah Quinn the newest Code Enforcement Officer.
Captain Tracht informed the Board that the only violation that would be
reviewed for the property would be Winter Springs City Ordinance 13-
2(b) Junk and Debris due to the other violations coming into compliance
by the meeting.
Captain Tracht offered testimony; "This came in as an anonymous email
complaint.- It came in on September 11th. On September 14th I went and
observed the violation found a lot of junk and debris, excessive grass and
weeds, and the address had no building numbers, couldn't identify the
house. I left a written door hanger, a warning door hanger on the door
with a correction date of September 18th that came and went with no

corrections what so ever. Upon re-inspection the door hanger with still
hanging on the door. We also drafted a notice of Code Violation, was
mailed to the address on file with the Property Appraisers website with
the correction date of October 151h
Captain Tracht continues, "Several times, not just on the [September]
30th I have spoken with the owner Mr. Gary and he has been very
cooperative,very forthcoming, he wants compliance.The guy, Roosevelt
[Davis], that he has renting is an elderly male that is trying to fix all of
these things himself on his own time and doesn't understand the
concept of compliance dates. So, Mr. Gray went over there and did a lot
of those things, he probably just needs a couple more days and he will
be in full compliance. [We] did mail out Code Board Notices when those
compliance dates weren't met. So he is aware that it is coming to Code
Board tonight."

Captain Tracht gave his recommendation as, "As of this hearing I find
that you find the home owner in violation of Winter Springs City
Ordinance 13-2(b), to be only that I have given testimony to. I am asking
for an additional 15 days, I truly believe working with Mr. Gray that within
those 15 days he will be at full compliance. However, if not, then a fine of
two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per day be imposed." Discussion.
"I MOVE TO FIND THE RESPONDENT IN VIOLATION OF THE CITY CODE
AND ORDER THE RESPONDENT MAKE REPAIRS TO THE PROPERTY
BY NOVEMBER 11,2020. IF HE SHOULD FAIL TO DO THAT THEN A FINE
OF TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($250.00) A DAY SHOULD BE
FOR EACH DAY THE VIOLATION REMAINS." MOTION BY VICE-
CHAIRPERSON KAPROW. SECONDED BY BOARD MEMBER BURNS.
