Mrs. Loretta Graves was ordered to appear at the Environmental Control <br />Hearing Board meeting on February 4, 2016, to give an update to the Hearing Board. <br />The Hearing Board strongly encourages Mrs. Loretta Graves to apply for a non- <br />commercial kennel permit with Indian River County as soon as possible. If the <br />Respondent is not eligible for a non-commercial kennel, then the Hearing Board <br />recommends that Animal Control and Code Enforcement remove the excess animals <br />from her property to bring it into compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and <br />the Indian River County Code of Ordinances. <br />On January 21, 2016, Health Department staff reinspected the property at the <br />request of Attorney Graves. During reinspection, both parties specifically identified <br />the areas of concerns on the property. At the Board meeting on February 4, 2016, <br />Health Department staff, Charles Vogt, gave testimony about his observations during <br />reinspections conducted on January 21, 2016, and February 2, 2016. Charles Vogt <br />testified that Mrs. Loretta Graves and her volunteers did a really great job, and that <br />her property was currently clear of all debris. As such, Mrs. Loretta Graves' property <br />is currently in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida. <br />Mrs. Loretta Graves was represented Attorney Graves. Attorney Graves called Dr. <br />Sara Matthews to testify about her observations. Dr. Matthews confirmed that she <br />and a team of volunteers cleared Mrs. Loretta Graves' property of the debris. Dr. <br />Matthews also testified that she is assisting Mrs. Loretta Graves with her pre - <br />application with Indian River County for a non-commercial kennel permit. The <br />Hearing Board was pleased that Mrs. Loretta Graves had successfully brought her <br />property into compliance. The Hearing Board was still concerned about the potential <br />parasite in the soil on Mrs. Loretta Graves' property as well as the status of the non- <br />commercial kennel permit. The Health Department agreed to give the Hearing Board <br />an update at the next meeting on April 7, 2016. The Respondent's legal counsel is <br />not required to appear at this meeting. <br />The Order dated August 18, 2015, is still in effect. Therefore, Mrs. Loretta Graves <br />must continue to allow the Health Department to inspect her property on a continuing <br />basis every three (3) months for a period of two (2) years. The Health Department <br />will give forty-eight (48) hours' notice via email or phone to Attorney Graves, at <br />Julia@ajuliagraves.com and copy Dr. Sara Matthews at <br />saraleemathewsOgmail.com.
