Various locations have included but are not limited to: Wal-Mart, Kmart plaza, and 2220 Cluster Oaks Dr. Further, that these violations constitute a repeat violation of the Code Enforcement Board's Orders of January 22, 2009. Compliance of this violation will be when all vehicles, trailers, etc. containing advertising and/or signage for the business are permanently stored so that there is no visible signage from any adjacent roadway in any area of the city. Glenn Winn, 906 Jan Mar Ct., stated that he does not own the business that is in violation, he only rents to them. He stated that he is not sure of all the things that have gone on with the business and where they park. He stated that he would have a hard time tracking them as to where they park whether it is at 4 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD MARCH 17, 2009 his location or another location because he cannot be there all the time. He stated that he does not believe that the tenants had a full understanding of what was expected of them. Louis Calone, 2205 Cluster Oaks Drive, stated that he is the manager of Urban Stylez and stated that every time Ms. O'Shea came around and told them they were not in compliance they would move the vehicles. He stated that the first time she came around she stated that they could not park on the front of the property and they had to park within the five parking spaces of the frontage of the business, so they did so. He stated she came around taking pictures a week later and they asked what the problem was. He stated that he was told that they could only park in the front two spaces of the business so they started doing that. He stated then she started coming around asking about the trailer and the cargo van. He stated they use the cargo van to go to the YMCA and the Boy's Club to cut the kids' hair for free. He stated that the trailer is used to transport their barber chairs to Orlando to get the chairs serviced weekly. He stated that the trailer is not used for storage. He stated that the time the van was at Wal- Mart it was suffering from a major oil leak. He stated there are signs that state that any vehicles left overnight will be towed. He stated that the vehicle in front of the pet shop at the Kmart Plaza was used to transport the 150 gallon fish tank to the Pet Supermarket to have it fixed. He stated that everywhere they go, Ms. O'Shea is there to take pictures and it is harassment. Chairman Purvis asked when was the last time one of the vehicles was parked somewhere besides in front of the business. Mr. Calone stated that the one time a vehicle was parked in front of Wal-Mart for servicing and the other time when they delivered the fish tank. Chairman Purvis asked if Mr. Calone knew at all times where these vehicles were. Mr. Calone stated that he knew at all times where the vehicles are. Chairman Purvis stated that he found the SUV and the trailer parked at 3:00 pm in the Wal-Mart parking lot in front of the gas pumps. Mr. Calone stated that he was off on Monday. Board member Booker stated that the last testimony was that the cargo van is used to transport the chairs for servicing and now it's the trailer. Mr. Calone stated that they found another use for the cargo van to go to the YMCA and the Boy's Club. Charlie Lopez, 2205 Cluster Oaks Drive, stated that he has a document from Ms. O'Shea with a map of where they can park. He stated that it keeps changing where they can park. He stated he has to park in the Wal-Mart parking lot because he is not allowed to park in front of his own business. Board member Davern asked what his suggestion for compliance is. 5 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD MARCH 17, 2009 Mr. Lopez stated that he wants to park at his business location. He stated that the last time they said the reason the cargo van was considered a sign is because it stated "Walk-ins Welcome", so he had that removed. He asked if they are going to make everyone remove their signs from their vehicles. He stated that he shops at Wal-Mart and Kmart. Chairman Purvis stated that he returned to Wal-Mart later and the vehicle was still there. Board member Davern asked Ms. O'Shea what her requirements were to bring this into compliance. Ms. O'Shea stated that she tried to work with them, but they would break the rules on the weekends and at night. She stated that they are parking their vehicles at the Kmart and Wal-Mart visible to the highway. They are not parking them in the middle as if they are in the stores shopping. She does not make any extra effort to see these vehicles, because they are there all the time. She stated that the meeting specifically stated that they could not use their vehicles as signs, which they are doing regardless of whether if it is parked in front of their business, the Kmart or the Wal-Mart. She stated that the furniture and mattress stores have to park their vehicles back from the roads. Lowes and Home Depot have to park their vehicles back. City Attorney Yvette Brown stated that the bottom line is their business does not provide ample parking so they probably need to find a new location for their business due to the lack of parking. Brandy Thompson, 2205 Cluster Oaks Drive, stated that she and Mr. Winn can only speak for the property located at 2205 Cluster Oaks Drive. She stated that after the last meeting it was unclear what would make them compliant. She stated that the tenants were told not to park near the highway. She stated that since then they have used one parking space that is directly in front of the business. She stated that they asked if they park behind the building would that be considered a sign and they were told no. She stated that they now park behind the building. Board member Outlaw stated that is a right of way. James Davern made a motion to end the Respondent for the violation of the cited City code and be fined at a rate of $D. 00 per dad for reoccurring violation; seconded by David Outlaw. James Davern made an amendment to the motion to find the Respondent for the violation of the cited City code, have zero fine up to this date and be fined at a rate o $250.00 per day or every day in violation starting March 18, 2009; seconded by David Outlaw.

He stated that when the house behind him came up for sale he decided to buy it and put in a driveway so he could park there. Chairman Purvis stated that if the driveway was completed then the vehicle would be able to be parked at his location. Ms. O'Shea stated that it would still be in violation because it is a trailer that is marked with the business name and is used for storage of his equipment for his business. She stated that it would have to not be visible from the road. Mr. Cardinal stated that if it was parked where he is putting the driveway, it would not be visible from the street unless someone looked straight down the drive. He stated that he does not like parking his truck and trailer where he parks it, but he is not allowed to finish his driveway unless he gets a variance because the grade is too steep. He stated he has parked there for six years and has been left alone for six years. Chairman Purvis stated that the issue with the trailer becomes an issue because of signage. He asked if he could find a storage yard for the trailer. Mr. Cardinal stated that he cannot afford to pay to store his trailer. He stated that he has been doing it for longer than a reasonable length of time. Code Enforcement Betty McMinamen stated that in order for him to put in an apron for the driveway he would have to go through some modification with engineering. She stated that it is not impossible, it just costs more money. Mr. Cardinal asked that if he worked for Advance Electric would he be able to park that commercial vehicle at his home. 7 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD MARCH 17, 2009 Ms. O'Shea stated that yes if you worked for Advance Electric and drove it home you would be able to park at your home.
