After Chairman Eggert intervened in a heated exchange between Mr. Levy and Commissioner Scurlock, Mr. Levy reiterated that he would like to solve this in a peaceful manner if possible, but their attorney has advised them that they would prevail in a lawsuit against the County on this matter. Attorney Vitunac felt that the only issue that Mr. Levy has made here is that there may have been more repairs on the Lot #14 portion of the abatement than on his portion. However, Mr. Levy hasn't answered the fact that the County did a lot of repairs on his land that he didn't clear up as he is required to do by law, and he hasn't made any offers as to how much he is willing to pay. All he is saying is that he is going to go to court because the County cleared off more than his land. He hasn't denied not cleaning up his own property, and we are still waiting to hear an offer. Commissioner Wheeler felt it was a situation of let the buyer beware, but Mr. Levy believed that the public has a right to rely on the County's statements. When a County Attorney tells you that you have to remove a water tank within one year, you have to do it, and they did it, but that water tank was half on Lot #14. He would like for this Commission to make a proper decision if possible; if not, they would have a judge make a decision as to whether or not they were required to move a water tank that was not on their property. Commissioner Bird noted that from the aerial, it appears that the tank was on Mr. Levy's property, but Mr. Levy pointed out that the aerial was taken from 10,000 feet and that he relied on the survey that shows where the water tank was and the survey markers are right there. In fact, he videotaped the survey markers and that is available if the Commissioners wish to view it. APR 31990 15 t3oo� F"t 74 I
