12. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS <br />12.A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />1. CONSIDERATION TO ABATE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AT 2025 SURFSIDE <br />TERRACE (LANDOWNER: LEWIS BARTON. CODE ENFORCEMENT <br />CASE No. 2006120082 (QUASI JUDICIAL) <br />Chief of Environmental Planning, Roland DeBlois, described this request to the <br />Board and provided background, including prior actions on this matter. The matter was brought <br />for Board consideration to decide if conditions on the subject property pose a serious health and <br />safety issue and therefore warrant County nuisance abatement of the nuisance. Director DeBlois <br />displayed photographs of the site, while pointing out materials and debris strewn about the <br />property. He then presented the Board's alternatives for consideration, and staff's <br />recommendation for Alternative 3, that the Board, in accordance with County Code Section <br />973.04, direct the County Administrator or his designee to take appropriate action in abating this <br />nuisance. <br />Director DeBlois acknowledged that at the end of last week, Mr. Barton had <br />moved a steel container onto the property with the intent to put the materials in it. He believed, <br />if this is done, the serious public health and safety issues would be abated and County abatement <br />would not be warranted. However, they would still have the issue of the container to deal with, <br />if there were no permits for its use. <br />Commissioner Wheeler questioned the level of safety with the container, in the <br />event there is a hurricane. <br />Assistant County Administrator Mike Zito asked for a deferral in further <br />discussions until an interested party, Sheryl Gerstner, arrives. <br />September 9, 2008 34 <br />
