HomeMy WebLinkAboutMailboxes and Other Regulations-1992 TO: RICHARD ROZANSEY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JOHN GOVORUIIR, CHIEF OF POLICE DATE: AUGUST 18, 1992 SUBS: REPORT ON MAILBOXES ON SOUTH EDGEMON AVENUE Attached herewith is the report from Lieutenant Robert Pieper with regard to the Mail Boxes built within the Right-Of-Way on South Edgemon Avenue. Also attached with the report are copies of City Codes, U.S. Postal Regulations pertaining to the construction of mailboxes, and suggestions/recommendations for a City Code to regu- late the construction of mailboxes within the Right-Of-Way within the City. - /1, y ohn Go• .i hk ' of Police JG/eds TO: Chief Govoruhk FROM: Lt . R. Pieper REF : Mailboxes/ So . Edgemon Ave . DATE : 00/17/92 As per your instructions , I spoke with Al White , Dave Alamina and G .D. Archer in an attempt to determine the origins of the mailbox complaint on So. Edgemon Ave . Unfortunately , I am unable to come to a precise conclusion . Mr . White advised me that at some time in early April he had gone over to City Hall and was talking with Dave Alamina on an unrelated matter (which he does not recall at this time) and states that Dave Alamina advised him that there were three concrete mailboxes on So . Edgemon Ave. in front of new houses. White states that Alamina advised him that these mailboxes have no permits . During this conversation , White states that either Mr. Archer walked into the room , or that he and Al amine walked into Archers office (White does not recall which is correct) and that Alamina stated to Archer words to the effect of "Remember those three mailboxes we were talking about?" . White further states that Archer re- plied with words to the effect of " they have no permits , I can 't allow it" (the mailboxes) . Mr . White states that at that time the understanding he derived from this comment was that he was to handle the problem , but he does not recall whether this was implied , or if he was directed to take act- ion in this matter . Mr . Alamina's recollection of this incident is slightly dif- ferent than Mr. White's . Mr . Alamina states that White came over to his office one day , and specifically asked him about the three masonry mailboxes on So. Edgemon . Mr . Alamina states that he had no knowledge of these mailboxes before White brought it to his attention . Alamina states that dur- ing his conversation with White, Mr . Archer walked into the office. As White and Alamina were discussing what to do about these mailboxes, Alamina states that Archer made a com- ment that permits are not issued for them , and they are in violation . I asked Alamina if he or Archer specifically dir- ected White to take action on this matter , and he stated that they did not . It was simply put that this was a Code Enforcement problem . Mr . Archer states that at the time this issue came about , he walked into Alamina' s office , at which time Alamina and White were engaged in a conversation about stone mailboxes. Archer states that at that time he stated that the city does not allow them in the right of way , and made a general statement to Mr . White along the lines of " If you've got violations, you need to handle them. You don 't need to come ask me about them" . Archer states that this was not a specific instruc- tion to take action in this particular situation , Just a gen- eral statement that code violations are White's responsibil - ity . Archer could not advise whether it was Alamina or White who brought up the matter in the conversation since he came in on the middle of it . (Archer further advised that recent- ly when he was asked about this situation by a citizen , he was mistakenly thinking of a different set of mailbox viol - ations , and provided information which was relevant to that situation , but not this one) . Archer did state that this incident happened in the same time frame as when he had sent White into the are of So. Edgemon to check into a reported violation of stopped up drainage ditch or creek . Conclusions As previously stated , it is difficult to come to a precise conclusion in this matter . If the situation were such that there was one "true" account , and the other accounts were "lies" , perhaps it would be easier . However, I do not feel anyone involved in this matter is "lying" , or covering up . Rather , the similarities and differences in the accounts seem to me to be a matter of "perceived memory" where different individuals remember the same incident from differing perspectives . Other factors that come into play here are "faulty memory" and break-downs in effective communication . The similarities in this incident are that : 1 . Alamina and White were engaged in a conversation about mailboxes . Whether White observed the violations himself and initiated action as a result of his previous experience in dealing with this type of incident , or Alamina brought them to the attention of White in order for him to take action on them, cannot be determined through discussion . Both men are firm in their individual recollections of how this event took place . 2 . Archer entered into the conversation and made a general comment that masonry mailboxes in the right of way are not permitted and are a code enforcement problem. From the interviews with all three men , it is consistent that Mr. Archer was not a party to the beginning of this conversation , and was not making specific comments regarding the three mailboxes on So. Edgemon . 3 . White states that it was his "understanding" that he was supposed to take action in this matter , even thought he does not recall being specifically directed . Both Archer and Al amina state that they did not instruct , direct , or tell White to take action in this matter , or what action should be taken „ simply that it was a code enforcement problem . The possibility exists here that certain aspects of "non-verbal communication" were mis-interpreted , or wrongly projected . In summation , I feel that Mr . White firmly believes that the action he took was what was expected of him , even though no specific command or directive to do so can be e er ned . Lt . Robert A. Pieper Management Support The City of Winter Springs currently regulates street right-of-ways by the following ordinances: ARBOR Chapter 5 Regulates the size, species, and placement of trees that can be planted in street right-of-ways [ 5-4 ] BUILDING Chapter 6 Prohibits fencing right-of-ways without special exception being granted [6-192(b)] SIGNS Chapter 16 Prohibits the placement of signs in the right-of-ways [16-56(b) and 16-761 STREETS, SIDEWALKS Chapter 17 Prohibits obstruction or placing anything in or on streets without s permit [17-1] (NOTE: Chapter 12 ROTOR VEHICLE defines "street" as the entire distance between boundaries, which would include right-of-ways.) Requires permits to plant trees, shrubbery, and other plants in street right-of-ways [17-28(c)] In addition, Building Codes require a permit for any structure, addition, or improvement to real property. [6-46] The regulation of the type, size, and construciton of mailboxes contained within a right-of-way only seems to be a natural progression of the City's exercise of control over street right-of-ways. SUGGESTIONS / RECOIMIENDATION FOR CHANGE TO THE CITY ORDINANCES TO SPECIFICALY CONTROL BUILDING OF MAILBOXES WITHIN RIGHT-OF-WAYS MAILBOXES Any mailbox erected within the right-of-way of any street shall consist of a postal service approved manufactured box, or a custom built box approved by the postmaster in accordance with Domestic Mail Service DMM 156.516. Mailbox supports must be of adequate size and strength to support the box, and shall be constructed of material designed to minimize damage to a vehicle which may strike it, by breaking away or falling away from such vehicle. (1) Mailbox supports, stands, or enclosures constructed of heavy metal posts; farm, automotive, or similar equipment or machinery; concrete block, rock, stone, brick or similar masonry structures is prohibited. (2) Mailbox enclosures constructed of stucco or simulated brick/stone applied over foam, or a hollow lath sub-structure is permitted as an exception to (1). (3) Any existing, non-complying mailbox supports, stands, or enclosures shall be removed (by , 199_.) CAGOMM WWI& TO: RICHARD ROZANSXY, CITY MANAGER d-(Cy FROM: John Govoruhk, Chief of Police DATE: AUGUST 28, 1992 SUBJ: MAILBOXES (INSURANCE COVERAGE) Contact was made with Mr. Chuck Doyl, with Florida League of Cities (Our Insurance Carrier) in regards to coverage to concrete, brick, and or solid type mailboxes in the city right-of-way. In addition we discussed railroad ties, blocks, chain, rails, etc., being allowed and/or in right-of-ways at present time. He advised: If the City has a claim - we will be covered - we are protected under our current policy. "WIN - LOSE - OR DRAW" Further conversation, and checking with others, the best suggestions made is the City Attorney - should advise/handle this as it is a legal responsibility for the City. f Best thing to do is pass an Ordinance to comply - put in Ordinance what is allowed and what is not allowed (need to spell it out clearly). Put Homeowner on notice of non-compliance - Certified Letter, this will relieve City as they can't say they were not notified. Then if not corrected - take appropriate action via Code Board. / 717777 .‘ AOF R : . o 2, �/ J. .voruhk Chief of Police AUG 27 1992 JG/eds CITY of It' i�inct RINGS e'O1 elt S&P ilitgz. 35-3 WINTER SPRINGS CODE obstruct the light from any streetlight or estry, this list may be revised with approval so that such branches obstruct the view of from the commission. any street intersection and create a hazard small!'rc Medium Trees Large Tnv, to vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
