and get stuck under there. Well, that was cited in the County's <br />claim against them, and all of a sudden the slab became rubble, <br />and Mr. Heath's report stated that the Brazilian pepper trees <br />encroached on county right-of-way. When he visited the site this <br />morning, he measured it and found that the fence is 24 ft. in <br />from the road itself, so the Brazilian pepper trees did not <br />encroach on county right-of-way. <br />Returning to the matter of the notices of abatement, Mr. <br />Levy noted that Mr. Heath's report also said that he sent out a <br />certified letter to him on September 1, 1989 to 812 8th Court, <br />Palm Beach Gardens, and that it was returned on September 11, <br />1989. Mr. Heath mentions that he checked the property in October <br />and found there had not been any abatement of nuisance.

So <br />the water tank that they had removed at great expense was partly <br />located on Lot #14. He would have liked to ask Mr. Heath if he <br />knew that there was another lot between Lot #1 and Lot #13, but <br />he doesn't see him here this morning. The notice of nuisance <br />abatement was posted on Lot #14 on the chain link fence and not <br />on Lot 12, and the neighbors will verify that. The County's <br />ordinance is fine, and he has no argument with that, but the <br />County posted the wrong property. In fact, he found that Lot #14 <br />is owned by Mr. Charles Coker, who apparently purchased that land <br />at a tax sale for approximately $1,000 from the same attorney who <br />owned 'the franchised utility. Apparently, the attorney would <br />BOOK <br />+ 21 <br />MAR 2 0199 <br />
