PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. 90-016, Liqhthouse Plaza Associates, Ltd., 177-207 Tequesta Drive: Violation of Chapter 6, Article II, Section 6-22, Model Countywide Administrative Code, for Building Section 101.3.5, Maintenance, as adopted by Ordinance No. 395, Village Code of Ordinances. Case No. 90-017, Liqhthouse Plaza Associates, Ltd., 177-207 Tequesta Drive: Violation of Chapter 10, Article II, Health and Sanitation, Section 10-17 and 10-18 as adopted by Ordinance No. 196, Village Code of Ordinances. These two cases were covered in unison, since the defendant is the same in both. The Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) explained that the defendant did not meet the November 30 compliance deadline as they had promised. There is still an accumulation of dead plant life, weeds, pot holes in the asphalt. A video was presented of the property showing that a violation clearly exists. The Defendant started doing some of the work in order to bring the property into compliance, but the job was never finished. The Defendant faxed a letter to the Code Enforcement Officer asking for an extension of time to December 6 to repair the potholes in the asphalt and an extension of time to December 7 to comply with the Sanitation Code concerning the dead plant life and debris. The property in violation is presently in Receivership. A Receiver (Paul G. Hykel) was appointed on September 28, 1990. Since the Defendant has argued that they have not received Notices in the past, Attorney McNierney stated it would be necessary to be certain the Receiver is aware of all Notices of Violation and Hearing so there would be no question about their being informed. The CEO pointed out that Certified Mail Receipts are in the file proving receipt of Notices.
