8. Case# 96009553. 124 COry Lane. Jim Hunt
Morhm2ee: Chase Home Mort2a2e Coro/Tamoa
Section 13-2(c) Untended Grass
Pieper stated the case would not be presented because the problem was corrected.
9. Case # 96013731. 45 South Ed2emon. Rickie Eo White & Lvndle P. White.
Mort2a2ee: U.S. Deoartment of HUD
Section 13-2(d) Sta2nant Pool
Pieper explained that the case dealt with a violation of stagnant pool. Previously the same violation
was dealt with by a citation issued by a Police officer, and that citation was appealed to the court.
A court date was set which was continued, extended, continued again, extended again, continued
again, extended again; and by the time the case came before a hearing official the complainant/witness
that originated the call to Code Enforcement and the Police Department was not present, and the
violation had been corrected so the hearing official dismissed the case. When the complaint came
back this year, rather than handling it as a recurring violation, the case was worked as a new violation
because there was no ruling or finding offact on file either by the Code Enforcement Board or a court
of competent authority that the violation had ever existed because it was dismissed. Ms. White was
informed that she had 15 days to correct the violation (per city ordinance), and within the 15 days
enough necessary action was taken to considered the problem corrected. But, if the problem
reoccurs, a warning will be issued with a prescribed amount of time in which to come into
compliance, or the case will be brought before the board as a recurring violation.
Reilly asked if the pump and motor is judged in the determination of compliance. The health
department's ruling is that if the bottom drain cannot be seen, the pool is closed. Pieper stated that
Code Enforcement is being consistent with past practice.
