"No follow up required".

process has been served by means of certified mailing attempts. The fine is $250.00 a day. The
balance is approximately $5,000.00 with the clock still running. Correspondence was received Friday

8. Case #95017903, 1437 Carrington Court, Claire Milligan, c/o Cecille, Section 13-2( d) Excessive
Growth:
Captain Pieper presented the case. This lot is not built upon, and exists next to developed homes in
Carrington Woods. White distributed an update, plat of the subdivision, and photographs. White
gave his testimony. Discussion.
Holzman asked if the lot was cleared, and then just not built on. Captain Pieper said no, the lot was
left in the natural state until it was ready to be built upon.
Chairperson Schneider said that she tends to argue on the interpretation because the land was never
clear cut; it was a pasture which was converted into a housing development.
Discussion of the verbiage of the code. Reilly said it would be nice if there was a section in the City
Codes which clearly described vacant lots.
Motion: Clair Milligan of 1437 Carrington Court is not in violation of the stated Section of the Code
of the City of Winter Springs, as the information and testimony presented at this meeting have failed
to indicate a violation of the designated code.

CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD
MARCH 19, 1996 MEETING
PAGE 4
Captain Pieper stated that the Section (6-46) is correct; however, the description should read "No
Building Permit". He explained that this case involves the placement of a tent (tarp, covering) on a
piece of property in Tuscawilla. The building department's opinion is that it is a structure requiring
a permit. The property owners are in compliance having purchased a building permit, but they have
questions and comments for the board.
Chairperson Schneider read "It shall be the duty of the building inspector to examine applications for
permits required by this article within a set of 48 hours. If after examination, the building inspector
finds no objection to the application, and it appears that the proposed work will be in compliance, ...
he shall issue a permit for the proposed work. If his examination reveals otherwise, he will reject
subjects application, noting his findings in a report to be attached to the application, and deliver a
copy to the applicant."
Her point being that the property owners must realize that the Code Enforcement Board is not the
one who makes the calls on building permits and whether they are applicable or not applicable.
Rick Gonzalez of JJ(J1 Gator Lane (resident with Mrs. Krebsbach) explained that they don't feel the
permit was necessary. He said that his attorney has provided them with a letter to submit to the city
asking for a refund of the application fee. Several request have been made to the city attorney with
no response. He felt this is an issue the city needs to address firmly because it is ambiguous with the
code, and with the property owners.
Discussion. Gonzalez suggested the board pose the question to the city attorney.
10. Case #96002137, 51 South Fairfax Avenue, Eugene 1. Okun, Mortgage: GE Capital Mortgage
Service Inc., Section 20-433 Disabled Motor Vehicle:
Captain Pieper presented the case. Although the problem was corrected at the time of this meeting,
the problem occurs repeatedly. White gave his testimony. Discussion.
Findin!! of Fact: Eugene 1. Okun and GE Capital Mortgage Service, Inc. were in fact in violation
of Section 20-433 of the Code of the City of Winter Springs; and that such violation was not
corrected within the time specified for correction by the Code Inspector, as per City Ordinance
