Chairman Wheeler asked Attorney Collins what the legal authority was of the Board. <br />Attorney Collins stated that Code Enforcement would deal with an illegal structure, while the St. <br />Johns River Water Management District would address any illegal filling issues. <br />Chief DeBlois revealed that Code Enforcement's focal point has been the shoreline <br />encroachment (the dock extension) issue. Code Enforcement is currently reviewing a punch list <br />they have received from Mr. Wells to see if there are any unpermitted items on the Chestnut <br />property. <br />Commissioner Flescher gave some background of his awareness of Mr. Wells' situation and <br />stated, for the record, that Mr. Wells had spent an exorbitant amount of time with County <br />government over the past few months. Administrator Baird acknowledged that his own meeting <br />with Mr. Wells had resulted in Director Buddy Akins re -inspecting the wall. Mr. Baird had <br />requested of Mr. Wells a survey of his property, but Mr. Wells has told him that no surveyor had <br />been willing to get involved. Commissioner Davis commented that it might be necessary for a <br />judge to solve this dispute. <br />Mr. Wells displayed a photo of Australian pines trees which encroached from the Chestnut <br />property to his land, and which blocked his view of the waterway. Chief DeBlois observed that the <br />trees were not illegal under County Code. <br />Mr. Wells voiced concern over the two natural gas tanks in the ground at the Chestnut <br />property, and about the concrete steps that are not shown on the survey. Chief DeBlois related that <br />a detailed review would be conducted of the permits that have been issued for Mr. Chestnut's <br />property, and Administrator Baird assured Mr. Wells that staff would be dispatched to reexamine <br />this situation. <br />There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />June 19, 2007 28 <br />
