Ms. O'Shea stated that the provisions of Chapter 118 do state that it has to adhere to the original landscape plan -
and the original plan would include grass.
Vice -chair Holt asked how many feet of hedging is not in compliance.
Ms. O'Shea stated that it's hard to say because the spacing is sporadic, but there are several plants that need to
be replaced.
Ali Jawad, 3238 Open Meadow Loop, Oveido, stated that he purchased this property in 2005. He stated that the
property looks the same as it did when he purchased it. He stated that he has kept the property in good condition
along Highway 27, however on the sides there are areas that look like no plants were ever planted. He stated
that the bushes were not there when he purchased the property. He showed pictures of the landscape of the
property.
Code Enforcement attorney Valerie Fuchs informed Mr. Jawad that whatever pictures he shows the Board will
have to be given to the Clerk for the file.
Mr. Jawad stated he was okay with that. He stated that he can only water once a week which is not enough, but
then he's required to keep his landscape looking good.
Board member Booker asked the owner if the Respondent inquired with the City what the original landscape
was when he purchased the property.
Ms. O'Shea stated that the photo Mr. Jawad show is an image from back when the travel park was there, not the
BP which was back in the 1990's. She stated that the code states that there has to be a continuous hedge around
commercial property. She stated that it may not have been there when he purchased the property, but it should
have been there.
Vice -chair Holt asked how the property came about being cited.
Ms. O'Shea stated that an adjacent property was being cited, so he was cited as well.
Board member Mannella asked where the approved landscape plan for this property is.
Ms. O'Shea stated that she could not locate the landscape plan.
City attorney Dan Mantzaris stated that the violation has to do with Section 118-36 (4)(d) which states that
hedges shall be planted and maintained so as to form a continuous, unbroken, solid visual screen within a
maximum of two years from the time of planting. He stated that regardless if there is a landscape plan on file or
not, they are required to adhere to the code.
Board member Forte stated that if the City can't find the original landscape plan then all they can discuss is the
quality of what was replaced. He stated that without the plan, they cannot determine that the hedges were there
to start with.

Board member Booker stated that if they can't establish that the hedges were there to start with, how the Board
can cite the Respondent for not maintaining what may or may not have been there. He stated that the City needs
to give the Respondent time to comply with the code, and then if he doesn't comply with the code bring him
back before the Board.
Vice -chair Dave Holt stated that he is going to vote against this motion because in his judgment there was a
hedge. He stated that it is clear under the City ordinance that the hedge is required to be there. He stated that
the hedge is gone and needs to be replaced.
Board member Forte asked Mr. Holt how he could tell there was a hedge there.
Vice -chair Holt stated that he could tell from the evidence presented by the City staff.
Board member Forte stated that just because we have an ordinance, if the Board isn't sure the hedge was there
when the property was originally built, how do we know that someone didn't just put a hedge in for the sake of
putting it in.
Vice -chair Holt stated that one can judge the evidence one way and he can judge the evidence another way.
Alfred Mannella made a motion to drop the case due to lack of a landscape plan; seconded by Ken Forte. The
,ote was 4-1 in favor of dropping the case with Vice -chair Dave Holt oppg_ osin

the remaining issue of the accrued fine, as Officer O'Shay's phone call was the first knowledge I had of
this matter.
