Because Mr. Sabonjohn provided no backup material regarding his requested Board appearance, staff cannot provide a complete staff report in this case. Based upon recent code enforcement action, however, staff can provide background information regarding Mr. Sabonjohn's expected complaints. Staff expects Mr. Sabonjohn to reference the property at the southwest corner'of 43rd Avenue and 41st Street. Comprised of two parcels, (one owned by Florence Sabonjohn and the other owned by Peter Sabonjohn), this property has been the subject of several code enforcement actions over the past few years. A brief chronology follows: • June, 1983: Code Enforcement Board order limiting the number of mobile homes (to be occupied) on the site to eight, prohibiting travel trailers on the site from being occupied. • June, 1990: Notice to Peter Sabonjohn to connect to County water and sewer. • January, 1991: Peter Sabonjohn paid impact and other fees for four water and sewer connections. • November, 1991: Peter Sabonjohn paid impact and other fees for one water and sewer connection. • January, 1992: Peter Sabonjohn paid impact and other fees for seven water and sewer connections. • August, 1990; December, 1991: HRS Environmental Health violation notices. • 1991 & 1990: Several other Environmental Control Board Actions. • 1993 & 1994: Building Division identified various electrical violations - illegal hookups of travel trailers.

Despite that awareness, he obtained the referenced water and sewer ERU's and then complained about subsequent enforcement action. It is staff's position that appropriate actions were taken in this case. Staff has documented various violations on the site and is pursuing these through the code enforcement board. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners defer this matter to the code enforcement board. Peter Sabonjohn, 1325 5th Avenue, S.W., came before the Board asking for relief because he felt that various departments within the County seem to have different sets of rules. He stated that Mike Galanis of the Environmental Health Department had given him permission to operate 9 mobile homes and several trailers in a 13 BOOK 91 FAGS 781
