The Hearing Board heard this case on August 6, 2015, where the property owner, Loretta Graves, was represented by an attorney, Judy Graves, Esq. The property owner's friend, Dr. Sara Lee Matthews, was also in attendance at the hearing. On June 10, 2015, Health Department staff investigated a reported sanitary nuisance relating to an abundance of cats at the owner's property. The investigator observed not only many cats, but also a large accumulation of animal waste. On the same day, the representative issued a Notice to Correct Violation ("First Notice") against the Respondent for violating Sections 386.041 and 403.413(4), Florida Statutes, because the Subject Property was being maintained in an unsanitary condition capable of introducing and perpetuating human disease organisms and vectors into the community. The failure to properly maintain appropriate animal husbandry conditions and dispose of animal wastes on the property created conditions capable of producing zoonotic pathogenic organisms communicable and harmful to man. The First Notice also cited the property owner for altering or changing the original design and approved conditions of the onsite sewage treatment and disposal system on the property in violation of septic rules for the state of Florida. To correct the violations of the First Notice, the property owner, Mrs. Loretta Graves was told to (1) immediately collect and dispose of the animal waste and cover the areas exposed to animal waste with Hydrated Lime; (2) submit a site plan to the Indian River County Planning Department to operate a noncommercial kennel on her property within 30 days, and (3) provide the Health Department with a written response specifying the dates and details of how she intends to comply within 10 business days from the receipt of the notice. 4 1 P a g e 227
