Boardmember Jeffrey Vorpaqel arrived at 7:33 p.m. V. PUBLIC HEARINGB Case No. 92-15: Ilic, Steven & Anka, 68 Azalea Circle, Tequesta. Violation of Appendix A, Zoninq, Sec. X(0), Villaqe Code of Ordinances. The CEO explained this was a violation of a section of the Zoning Code which requires Site Plan Review as well as Community Appearance Board approval before erecting a satellite dish. A dish was erected at the above address without required permit or approval. A Notice of Violation dated July 15, 1992 was received by defendant on July 16, 1992. A Notice of Hearing dated August 5, 1992 was received by defendant on August 7, 1992. The dish still remains illegally in place, though defendant stated he is willing to comply. It was the CEO's recommendation that the property owner be found in violation of the above-referenced code, and be given 30 days maximum to come into compliance. If compliance is not met within 30 days, a fine of $25/day would ensue. The CEO explained further that Mr. Steve Pokrajac, representative in attendance for Anka Ilic had asked for a continuance of the Hearing. Mr. Steve Pokrajac was sworn in by the Clerk of the Board. Mr. Pokrajac explained they are new residents to the area and were unaware of the code requirements concerning a satellite dish. Vice Chairman Brienza asked if any steps had been taken by defendant to file for any of the needed permits. The CEO answered that no application has been filed and that he could apply to the Community Appearance Board immediately to seek their approval. The CEO pointed out further that there is no assurance that the dish is properly secured to the ground. � Code Enforcement Board Meetinq Minutes September 8, 1992 Paqe 3 ------------------------------- It is possible, given the instance of a hurricane, the dish could become a projectile. He further explained that there is more than one way for defendant to comply. Compliance could be met by removing the dish. Boardmember Treacy moved to table the application until the next Code Enforcement Board meeting. There was no second. 5cott Ladd explained that assuming all necessary support documents are made available by defendant, it would take approximately one week to ten days to call a Community Appearance Board (CAB) meeting. After the CAB rules, a 5ite Plan Review is presented to the Village Council, which could take up to 30 additional days, since the Village Council meets only once per month. Mr. Ladd, as Building Official, was concerned that the dish could become a projectile, since we are in the height of the hurricane season. Boardmember Vorpagel moved that defendant be found in violation of Appendix A, Zoning, Sec. X(0), Village Code of Ordinances. Vice Chairman Brienza seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Nilliam Frank - for Paul Brienza - for William Treacy - for Jeffrey Vorpaqel - for Mitch Miller - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Vice Chairman Brienza moved that defendant be given one week to file the appropriate paperwork necessary with the Building Department, remove the satellite dish until proper permit is received, and upon re-erection, properly secure the dish. If defendant does not file an application within one week (7 days) a fine of $25/day will ensue. Boardmember Vorpagel seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: William Frank - for Paul Brienza - for William Treacy - for Jeffrey Vorpagel - for Mitch Miller - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. .'
