APPEAL OF ENFORCEMENT ACTION - 2990 CASCO POINT ROAD After receiving a nuisance complaint and performing a site inspection in May of2005, Curtis explained that the owner was sent a notice of violation including the appropriate City Code sections. She noted that the property owner has requested an appeal of the violation notice regarding the expired or inoperable vehicles stored on the property. Curtis indicated that the property owner has worked with staff to remove most of t^ existing violations and a few other items have been negotiated to extended deadlines; however, the vehicles in violation and numerous vehicle parts remain and the property owner has indicated his intent to sell these items instead of removing them by the deadline ^te. The owner has also requested that he be allowed to taip the items and has been opposed to removing them ftom the property. Curtis pointed out tlut these items stored outside and covered with taips would still be in violation and the next step for staff is to proceed with the enforcement action to have the vehicles and other items in violation abated, or removed from the property. Curtis noted that staff would hire a towing service or contractor to remove the violations and the property owner would receive a bill for the service. Curtis stated that it would be staffs recommendation that the Council direct staff how the violations should be addressed. Pekarik explained that he was a mechanically inclined fellow who picked up odd jobs in rebuilding autos. He ensured the Council that he was not a deadbeat and that it was his intent to remodel someday. He stated that the vehicles and parts in question hold value to him and his business. He requested that the Codes be changed or amended so that he would be allowed to retain his items on his property. PAGE 5 of 9 1
