OLD BUSINESS
CASE NO. 90-04
Richard Brunson
P.O. Box 1121
Winter Garden, Fla. 32787
Mr. Yates informed the Board that the defendant had complied with
condition number 2 of the order dated July 19, 1990. An inspection
of the site was done on August 2, 1990 and all of the trash and
debris had been removed. However, as of this date no work has
started at the site to comply with condition number 1 of this
order.
Mr. Dave Headrick, was present to represent Betty Brunson who is
the personal representative of the estate of Richard Brunson who
is deceased. Mr. Headrick, informed the commission that the estate
of Mr. Brunson consisted of very little funds and the title of the
property in question will have to be cleared before the property
could be mortgaged or sold. They do not have the monies needed to
have the repairs made. They will continue to try to find a
commercial builder that will agree to do it on some kind of terms
that they can manage. However, the building is boarded up and I
do not think that it is a danger to the health 'or safety of the
people, something should and will be done but the defendant was not
able to have this work completed by this date.
Mr. Headrick asked the Board to give the defendant additional time
to have the work performed and requested a sixty day extension.
Mr. Baird aske~' if the defendant felt that within sixty days they
could locate a contractor who could give them an estimate as to
when the property could be brought into compliance.
Mr. Headrick stated that he felt they could.
Mr. Baird stated that the most important issue for the Board was
to have the property cleaned up so it looks some~rrhat decent.
Apparently the city is satisfied that the trash has been removed
and the property does look better than it did. The only remaining
problem is the building itself. I don't feel that there is a major
problem with granting additional time to improve the building if
it meets the codes as simply a vacant building.

M_. Yates stated that the major problem with the building as it
sits is that it is not soundly boarded and locked, the roof is ire
a dilapidated condition, and the building is not structurally
sound. I feel that if the building were properly secured so tY~at
no entry could be made, we should give them more time to work on
the problem.
Mr. Wood asked what would be required in order to secure the
building.
Mr. Yates stated that the windows should be covered with a sheet
of plywood and anchored into the block of the building, where they
could not be easily ripped off.
Mr. Baird asked how long it would take to do this.
Mr. Headrick stated it would take a week to ten days to secure.
After further discussion a motion was made by George Wood to give
the defendant two weeks to secure the building and sixty days to
submit a plan of action to the .Board.
The Motion was seconded by William McKinney and approved by a 5-0
vote. Mr. Wright declared a conflict of interest and abstained
from, voting.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
