Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board An Affidavit of Non-Compliance was submitted. At the November 5, 2024 hearing the Board ordered compliance by December 31, 2024 or a fine of $250.00 per day be imposed. The property was inspected on January 2, 2025 and found the violation remains. One storage container was removed; two remain. Board Questions It was noted originally there were 6 containers; 2 remain. Respondent Comment Chris Alexander, CEO of Body Health commented: They bought a building at 20,000 sq. ft. and are ready to go. They had to do some EPA testing before moving their inventory of supplements. They were supposed to close before the end of the year; they got extensions and they have the tests done. He had 6 containers, 2 are left. He requested more time waiting for the test results. They are happy to have the space; however, unhappy to be leaving Dunedin as the new space is in Clearwater, but as a company they are staying and growing in Dunedin. They have made the effort and his commitment would be if they have to start the warehouse hunt again, he will find a place to rent to put the trailers and not ask for another extension. His request is to extend to March 31, 2025, though he did not think it would take that long. In response to the question from Mr. Reynolds, he explained he had not rented space for the containers due to financial reasons and had called Code Enforcement when he knew it was not going to happen. The suggestion was there would be an Affidavit of Non-Compliance, but to come and plead his case. Attorney Carrera noted there was nothing in written form for Mr. Alexander to speak on behalf of the property owner. Chair Stone clarified with Mr. Alexander that the LLC is the same parent company as the Body Health where his is the CEO. Mr. Alexander stated the name of the company Body Health.com LLC. Attorney Carrera reminded the Board because he did not have a written notarized form to speak on behalf of the respondent, whatever decision was made today, his testimony is not binding on the respondent. The Board can take the testimony into consideration, but it is not binding on the respondent. Chair Stone commented while he understood what Attorney Carrera was saying, Mr. Alexander had represented to the Board that he does have authority to speak for the respondent. Mr. Bolduc inquired what is the land use of the property and Mr. Alexander explained when they purchased the property there were a number of businesses in very dilapidated 3

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board buildings; they demolished some and had an open area. Mr. Alexander elaborated on various improvements to the property. Staff Recommendation Ms. Gilbert when asked the City's position indicated she would leave it up to the Board; she thought 30 days would be sufficient and there are residents questioning why it is taking so long to remove the containers. It is a vacant lot that should not have anything on it. She will support the Board decision .

On July 9, 2024 the wife of the owner indicated she had a friend or assistant and she was reminded about the violations and all the additional work and installations required permits. On July 30, 2024 a call was returned to that assistant as he was assisting with the unpermitted fence, 6 sheds and pool and addition. October 15, 2024 there were no permits to date for any of the items; there was a fence permit application; however, there were items to be addressed from August 2024. Someone applied for commercial permits for sheds; however, Permitting emailed them back indicating they were incorrect; the response was they were trying their best to obtain permits, she had problems contacting the contractors . October 16, 2024 an email was sent to the owner's wife letting her know the permit applications were incorrect; there was supposed to be one permit for all the sheds and it was not a commercial property and that Permit Technicians emailed her what was needed in July 2024. October 30, 2024 an email was sent to the owner's wife requesting an update on the shed and addition permits.

December 10, 2024 the owner's wife sent photo evidence showing two more sheds were taken from the property. December 12 , 2024 she indicated all sheds were down with the exception of the one that was there before they purchased the property and all should be gone by the end of the day and the fence permit was obtained; she is working on the permit for the addition which is taking longer than expected and she requested more time because they are constantly on the road and they are doing their best. December 13, 2024 an email was sent to the owner's wife with Notice of Hearing letting her know the case would be presented to the Code Enforcement Board on January 7, 2025 and also advised about the water heater should be added to the scope of work for the addition. December 18, 2024 an email was received from an engineering firm requesting additional time , a few more weeks ; on December 19, 2024 she emailed back advising the case would still be brought before the Code Board that would approve or deny an extension as the compliance date for this case was July 27 , 2024. January 3, 2025 Ms. Gilbert spoke to Attorney Dragonetti and explained she could no longer extend the compliance date for this case. On January 6, 2025 an email was received from an architect stating the plans architectural and structural would be done by January 17, 2025. January 7, 2025 that hearing was postponed to today, February 4, 2025. January 15, 2025 an email copy of the Notice of Postponement for the hearing was posted to the property and emailed to the owner. January 16, 2025 she provided the Attorney with three local contractors names to assist the homeowner with compliance. February 2, 2025 an email was received from the homeowner advising the owner/builder permit BLDR-25-00712 was applied for and was in review; however, was missing documents and forms. Today the owner's wife stopped by before the hearing to state she submitted the last piece required for the permit to move through the review process ; she had to leave to care for her children so Attorney Dragonetti would speak. Fence permit #FNCE-24-00223 issued December 13, 2024 . Board Questions In response to Chair Stone, Ms. Gilbert advised permit applicati on has been submitted was in Review; generally with items to be addressed it takes 5 to 7 days to issue ; however, items to be addressed take time and then the process starts over. Respondent Comment Attorney Phil Dragonetti representing the respondent commented : As was heard she fixed the easier to solve problems last year. The addition is the big problem. She had the person noted earlier hire someone to build the addition who obviously did not do a good job, but then he died . They do not know if the structure could be saved ; she is trying to get a contractor to figure that out. 6

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board In the meantime they are getting the permits as required. Today she signed the last of the documents to get the review finalized. That is why they are asking for 30 days to get that accomplished. Staff Recommendation Ms. Gilbert suggested a compliance date of March 4, 2025 in order to provide time for the permits to be issued.

Commercial vehicles shall be measured by measuring the outside dimensions of the vehicle, including any attachments or additions. Respondent Comment Greg Maison commented: He has a new title with it being a motor home; he had copies of both the old_and new title both stating they are private vehicles and never a commercial vehicle so, it never should have been a case at all and in compliance and there should be no charge at all applied to this. Chair Stone recalled at the previous hearing it was agreed Mr. Maison would register this vehicle as a recreational vehicle; Mr. Maison noted it was the way they coded it as a motor home; either way it was never registered as a commercial vehicle, only a private vehicle so commercial standards should not apply. Chair Stone reviewed the documents provided by Mr. Maison, the first title of 2022 was BU, bus and the second of 2025 was MH, mobile home. He provided them to Ms. McHale 7

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board as Exhibits 1 and 2 and the Board members reviewed them. Ms. Phillips reviewed the ordinance pointing out how a commercial vehicle is defined, size, weight and height and noting the bus clearly exceeds what is allowed to be parked on private property. The intent of a bus is a commercial vehicle whether or not it is made into a motor home , it is still defined as a commercial vehicle in the ordinance. Mr. Bolduc clarified the State determines how the vehicle is designated ; therefore, if the title indicates a motor home then it is not commercial. Ms. Phillips explained now that it is registered as a recreational vehicle, meaning a motor home coach it is legal; it was not registered that way before making it illegal; it is now legal and she acknowledged it is in compliance. MOTION: VOTE: Mr. Reynolds moved to find Case 24-789, property owner Greg Maison , property address 1750 Pinehurst Road was in violation of the Dunedin Code of Ordinances Section 105-27.1.1.1 E.1 - Site Standards for: Houses and Duplexes Commercial Vehicle Standards after the Compliance Date and is now in compliance .

On January 8, 2025 she received an email from the City's Attorney stating the Notice of Hearing issued previously was in compliance with Section 162-071 Florida State Statutes. She was advised to proceed with a new notice for today's hearing . On January 31, 2025 an email was received from Mr. Maison who stated the mulch was down if she wanted to come by and inspect. On February 3, 2025 she sent an 9

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board email advising the mulch looked good ; however, needed to be contained by some type of border so it does not go onto the sidewalk or street. She also called the Tax Collector's Office and was advised the bus had been registered as motor home coach which is now in compliance and parked legally behind a 6-foot fence . On December 9, 2024 an email was received from Benjamin Hillard with an attachment of a Demand Response Letter suggesting some truce could be reached and to let them know.

Mr. Wielinski discussed with Ms. Phillips regarding how the mulch could be placed next to the driveway, digging down as opposed to just placing it on top of the grass. She noted at this point it would be better for Mr. Maison to use some type of plastic edging or bricks; there are very inexpensive things that can be used as a border. Mr. Wielinski verified with Mr. Maison he had no issue with compliance in the next 14 days. MOTION: Ms. Ballard moved to find Case 24-865 property owner Greg Maison, property address 1750 Pinehurst Road in violation of the Dunedin Code of Ordinances Section 105-27.1.1.1 H.6 - Site Standards for Houses and Duplexes Front Yard Restrictions, and that the respondent shall come into compliance by February 18, 2025 or suffer a fine of $150.00 per day thereafter until compliance.

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 5.d Case 25-1030 City vs John K Harkin 2482 Trade Winds Drive Dunedin Code Enforcement Board REPEAT Violation of the Dunedin Code of Ordinances Section 34-1 (A) Environment; Offensive Accumulation Chair Stone determined the respondent was not present. Code Compliance Supervisor Phillips reviewed Case 25-1030: This is a single family home in the R-60 Zoning District. Dunedin Code of Ordinances Section 34-1 (A) Environment, Offensive Accumulation (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to accumulate , leave, dump, or store openly on any premises with a residential zoning classification any building materials, automobile tires, inoperable or derelict vehicles, and any and all other articles of personal property which may be seen from the public rights-of-way or abutting properties for a period greater than three days, unless storage of such articles on residential premises is specifically allowed under other provisions in this Code . Definition of a Repeat Violation as defined in Chapter 162.04 "Repeat Violation" means a violation of a provision of a code or ordinance by a person who has been previously found through a code enforcement board or any other quasi- judicial process, to have violated or who has admitted violating the same provision within 5 years prior to the violation, notwithstanding the violations occur at different locations. On August 13, 2024 Case 24-486 was brought before the Dunedin Code Enforcement Board by Code Compliance Supervisor Phillips. The respondent Harkin was present. The Board found the respondent in violation of Dunedin Code of Ordinances Section 34-1 (A) Environment, Offensive Accumulation and was fined $500.00 per day for each day the violation continued to exist. On December 9, 2024 Code Compliance Supervisor Phillips received a complaint from the adjacent neighbor that Harkin was building a shed in his back yard against her fence without a permit. The neighbor also stated the items were starting to accumulate in the front and back yard again. She drove to the location and advised Harkin the shed needed to come down and he needed to get his yard cleaned or she would be forced to bring it back before the Board for a repeat violation. On December 12, 2024 on inspection the shed had been taken down. Because Harkin allowed her in the back yard she was able to see accumulation of items that were in the back yard and again he was in violation of items in the front yard . There have been the two storms and she thought the contents of most of his belongings are outside. The trash was never picked up when he put items curbside for FEMA, that is how it has been. On January 2, 2025 she observed a storage unit in the driveway and spoke to Harkin who stated he and his friends are going to load all the items and have it removed. She advised she would give a couple of weeks to get this accomplished; normally a repeat violation starts from the day the inspector sees it. Because he has been to the Board and that he has some mental health issues she was trying to give him the opportunity since he paid to have a storage unit dropped off. On January 23, 2025 she observed no corrective action had been taken and the 11

Regular Meeting February 4, 2025 Dunedin Code Enforcement Board property was posted with a Notice of Repeat Violation and Notice of Hearing. A packet was posted at City Hall and a sent to Mr. Harkin via Certified Mail. On January 27, 2025 on inspection to check on the progress, because of it being such a problem property she drives by about twice a week. The situation just never changes; there is always an accumulation of more items. On January 29 , 2025 it looked like a little of the garbage had been moved, the same items were in the front yard and driveway. The items after the storms smell. On January 31 , 2025 not much had changed except it seemed more items had been put in the driveway. On February 3, 2025 a new wagon was in the street and today the trash was still there; the storage unit is gone, but items were not put in it. The unit can be put on property for 30 days two times a year. She is not sure anything ever went into the unit. The items are still there as well as the smell. Board Questions/Discussion Mr. Gillette noted at the August 13, 2024 meeting there was lien of about $40,000 on the property. Ms. Phillips was not aware of what the liens are for currently; she thought it might be between $40,000 and $50,000. Mr. Reynolds inquired regarding the City being able to do something to abate the nuisance similar to cutting the grass and noted it is clearly a nuisance property. Ms . Phillips explained : The City has abated the property in the past. The City's process is to bring the case to the Code Enforcement Board; it is a repeat violation that needs to come before the Board and the property owner can clean it up or have a lien. In this case because of the smell and so many items left from the hurricane, after this process and the respondent has liens she will go through the notice and determination of violation nuisance abatement where she works with the City Manager and City Attorney to hire a company to abate the nuisance. It is more difficult because it is owner occupied and dealing with a respondent with mental health issues. It has been done since she has been with the City and Harkin had to be put in a cruiser and had to be detained. She does not enjoy doing that and when the man comes home his stuff is gone. That is what will happen again so, she waits as much as possible to do that, but it needs to be done. That is where things will go after today's hearing. She recalled that was a year and a half or two years ago with Harkin . Ms. Phillips noted Inspectors have talked with Harkin and offered alternatives and asked if he needs help ; however, he insists he has friends. She commented that he can afford to hire someone to put up a shed and to buy building materials and a storage unit. He just will not hire someone to load the unit or remove the items.

City Staff Comments Ms. McHale expressed appreciation to all the members who respond regarding attendance at these board meetings, as we need to guarantee a quorum. She explained it really does affect the City Attorney's travel time, and the time of the other members and staff. It also affects people coming to present a case and especially if they are bringing an attorney. Unfortunately, today two members did not attend who said they were coming; we would have had to cancel the meeting today without a quorum. 13
