CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of October 8, 2012 — Regular Meeting Page 9 of 14 evolved over the years since adoption of the original ordinance in 2007. She stated that the proposed Code revision eliminates boats and ATV's from the 24 -hour parking provision, but does not address the parking frequency issue, and the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff were seeking direction from the City Commission on both the type of vehicle and the frequency issues. Discussion: A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the various types of recreational vehicles and whether additional restrictions should be imposed requiring permitting or a limit to the frequency of overnight parking in residential driveways. The Commission agreed by consensus that the revision to the Code should not eliminate boats and ATV's, but that it should include language that would prohibit the 24 -hour parking provision from being consecutive 24 -hour periods. The Commission felt as a whole that the City's Code Enforcement staff would be alert to abuses of the allowed provision, and that the slight changes to the current Code would add strength to the officers' ability to enforce the Code. Ms. Smith advised she would present the City Commission's recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission at its upcoming meeting, and thanked the Commissioners for their direction. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City's budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Acting Community Development director recommended City Commission discussion and direction to staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the proposed amendment to the Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR). B. Request for Reduction of Code Enforcement Lien — 1555 State Road 436 Staff Presentation: Acting Community Development Director Sandra Smith stated that this item was a request to reduce a Code Enforcement lien from $8,300 down to $4,150, which would be a 50% reduction in the lien. She explained that the violation was for erection of a sign without a permit by a tenant within the shopping center and the matter had gone before the Code Enforcement Board. She added that when the property owners had become aware of the violation, the sign had been immediately removed. She further stated that the property owners had requested a reduction of the lien and that the Code Enforcement Board had reviewed the matter at its last meeting and recommended that the 50% reduction to the fine be approved. The property owners were not present to address the Commission. Budget Impact: The lien amount paid would be recognized as revenue in the 001 - 0000 - 354.20 -00 Violations of Local Ordinance account. Recommendation: The City Manager and Acting Community Development Director recommended consideration of the Code Enforcement Board's recommendation to reduce the lien for Case #CE -12 -00133 from a total of $8,300 to $4,150 to be paid within 60 days. MOTION: Commissioner Miller moved to reduce the Code Enforcement lien on property located at 1555 State Road 436 for Case #CE -12 -00133 from $8,300 to $4150.00.
