ATTORNEY'~ MATTERS: None
OLD BUSINESS: Case # 94-9549
Mr. Generazio arrived at 2:11 p.m.
This case was tabled from the last meeting because an underwater
inspection could not be done by the Code Enforcement officer, as
requested by the Board.
Mr. Schofield states he did get to do an inspection on Saturday,
February 18. Ne reviews his findings. He found a large diesel
engine that had obviously been scuttled. There was no evidence of
bolts in the motor mounts or any type of wood attachments. Mr.
Morris' boat had an outboard motor only (having some sort of motor
attachments). The wooden debris in the vicinity on the river floor
had very heavy barnacle growth and oyster shells attached to both
sides of the wood, indicating it had been there longer than Mr.
Morris' boat.
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD
REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1995
PAGE TWO
Mr. Cooper restates staff's recommendation of not levying any fines
against Mr. Morris for his days of non-compliance. As determined
by the Code Enforcement staff, it appears all of Mr. Morris' debris
has been totally removed. He also states the city will be looking
into the State's Derelict program for help with funding for
removing the remaining underwater debris.
Mr. Generazio voices his concerns over the safety hazards the
debris still presents.
Mr. Cooper states the debris is marked with a buoy, but can request
extra markage through the Florida Marine Patrol, if not Public
Works. Even though the area is in the City limits, it is not
governed by the city. The extra markage will lessen any city
liability in case of any accidents.
Mr. Neglia suggests using tow lines attached to a truck on shore to
drag the debris in.
Mr. Cooper states that would probably damage the grass beds and
wouldn't be allowable through DEP.
Mr. Gilliams suggests that maybe some of the businesses along
Indian River Drive could pull together and organize a salvage
effort.
Mr. Cooper states he will check with the City Manager to get his
opinion on whether the City should pay for any clean-up expense.
Mr. Generazio made a motion to close Case #94-9549 with no fines
levied. Mr. Neglia seconded the motion.
Roll call was taken.
