Also enclosed is the Order Finding Violation issued by the Special Magistrate as a result of the hearing held on July 31, 2007. Failure to remove a dead tree constitutes the violation. The Special Magistrate, Lara Donlon, ordered that you provide the Town of Gulf Stream with three (3) quotes for removal of the tree from licensed tree trimmers by the 12th day of August, 2007, and hire a licensed tree trimmer to remove the tree by the 22nd day of August, 2007.

(d) If a construction trailer is parked within the town a permit shall be required therefor along with approval of the town commission, and a permit fee in the amount established in the town's fee schedule shall be paid to the town. The permit will be valid for a period of six months. (e) If a person fails to obtain a building permit where otherwise required within the town, the penalty fee applicable by the county in the amount of four times the regular fee due to the county shall be paid. In addition, there shall be paid to the town a fee four times the regular fee due the town. (Code 1978, § 4-3; Ord. No. 89 -6, § 1, 12- 15 -89; Ord. No. 98 -1, § 1, 4- 14 -98) Sec. 42 -28. County to process applications; fees for service. The county building department shall process plans that are submitted in triplicate, checking the same for compliance with the codes adopted in this article, and will determine the amount of the permit fee and supply a copy of the same to the town. For this and the inspection service the county shall charge the builder a permit fee as established by the county building permit fee schedule. The fee to the county shall be paid by the builder at the time application for permit is submitted to the county. (Code 1978, § 4 -4) Sec. 42 -29. Construction abandonment. All authorized construction shall be completed prior to the expiration of the building permit issued by the county. The expiration of a building permit shall be prima facie evidence that the building project has not commenced or has been abandoned. Failure of the permit holder or the property owner to complete construction once it has been initiated within the timeframe of the building permit is a violation that will be referred to the special master pursuant to Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2, of this Code. Failure to restore the site to its preconstruction conditions, including re- moval of all structural improvements and place- ment of sod on all disrupted portions of the site, may result in a fine not to exceed $250.00 per working day after the permit expires. (Ord. No. 00 -1, § 1, 3- 10 -00) Editor's note — Ordinance No. 03 -13, § 1, adopted October 10, 2003, repealed § 42 -29.

Subsequently, § 2 of same ordinance renumbered § 42 -30 as § 42 -29. Sec. 42 -30. Driveway permits. (a) Permit required. Construction or reconstruc- tion of driveway aprons within town right- of- way��—_� shall not commence until the town has issued a driveway connection permit. The permit shall be processed as a Level I site plan approval. The town may impose reasonable conditions to ensure that driveway run -off is directed away from the roadway, to ensure free flow of drainage across the base of the driveway apron where necessary to reach existing or proposed drainage out - falls, and to ensure proper connection with the travel lane of the adjacent roadway. (b) Properties Fronting on SR A1A. Not with- standing the foregoing, properties proposing ac- cess to State Road AIA shall first obtain a drive- way permit from the state department of transportation. (Ord.

GULF STREAM CODE If the development impact assessment deter- mines that additional services and/or facilities will be required to be generated by the proposed development pursuant to the concurrency man- agement system, the developer must identify how the services and/or facilities will be provided to meet the level of service standards set forth in the concurrency management system. This may occur in several ways including provision of the re- quired services and/or facilities on site, document- ing that the needs will be met through a surplus in existing services, or by providing off -site facil- ities that meet the concurrency management re- quirements for the development. The primary test to be met is that the recreation and open space needs generated by the proposed develop- ment are met by the developer or any existing surplus in the town. The facilities identified to meet the concurrency requirements of a proposed development must mitigate the impacts gener- ated by the proposed development. (Ord. No. 91 -5, § 4.2, 1- 21 -91) Sec. 58 -114. Designation of recreation and open space areas. (a) Any recreation and open space area created or identified as a result of this article shall be so designated on the site plan of affected develop- ments. Areas designated for recreation and open space shall be dedicated for that use within 90 days of rendition of the development order and not available for other types of development. (b) In addition, any recreation and open space area created or identified as a result of this article greater than one -half acre shall be designated on the future land use map of the town's adopted comprehensive plan. This can be initiated by the developer or by the town during periodic plan reviews and revisions. All other recreation and open space areas created and/or identified to meet the requirements of this article shall be deter- mined to be consistent with, and in compliance with, the future land use map of the town's adopted comprehensive plan. The provisions of this article shall not apply to: (Ord.

(b) The town architectural review and plan- ning board shall review all development applica- ble under this article for consistency with the town's adopted comprehensive plan and imple- menting codes including the future land use ele- ment, recreation and open space element, the capital improvements element and the concur - rency management system.

The penalty for failure to comply with the conditions of this article shall be in accordance with section 1 -15. In addition thereto, if a person or entity conducts the activities addressed in this article without having obtained a permit from the town, the work being conducted may be immedi- ately stopped by the town's planning and building administrator and a permit shall be obtained. No permit shall be granted by the town for any work within the town until the person or entity violat- ing the provisions of this article shall have miti- gated the damages caused to the satisfaction of the town in the same manner as mitigation would be addressed by the applicant for a permit as set forth in this article.

The registrant shall be liable to the town for the costs of any repairs made necessary by any such dis- placement, damage or destruction, of facilities belonging to the town, and the registrant shall pay such costs upon demand. In the case of an emergency, the town may commence repairs with- out any prior notice to the registrant. The term emergency shall mean a condition that may affect the public's health, safety or welfare. In the event of an emergency the town may cause the repairs to be made at the facility's owner expense, utiliz- ing town employees, agents or contractors, charge any and all costs, and require reimbursement within 30 days after the submission of the bill by the town to the registrant. In all other non - emergency circumstances, the registrant shall be given prior written notice. If such repairs are not performed in a reasonable and satisfactory man- ner within the 30 calendar days after receiving notice, the town may, cause the repairs to be made at the facility's owner expense, utilizing town employees, agents or contractors, charge any and all costs, and require reimbursement within 30 days after the submission of the bill by the town to the registrant. (e) Subject to F.S. § 337 -403, whenever an order of the town requires such removal or change in the location of any telecommunications facility �x!om the public rights -of -way, and the facility // owner fails to remove or change the same at its own expense to conform to the directive within the time stated in the notice, the town may proceed to cause the telecommunications facility to be removed. The expense thereby incurred except as provided in F.S. § 337.403(1)(a)(c), shall be paid out of any money available therefor, and such expense shall be charged against the owner of the telecommunications facility and levied, collected and paid to the town. (f) Subject to F.S. § 337.404, whenever it shall be necessary for the town to remove or relocate any telecommunications facility, the owner of the telecommunications facility, or the owner's chief agent, shall be given written notice of such re- moval or relocation and requiring the payment of the costs thereof, and shall be given reasonable time, which shall not be less than 20 nor more than 30 days in which to file an appeal with the town commission to contest the reasonableness of the order. Upon receipt of a written appeal, the town commission shall place the matter on the commission's agenda for consideration within 45 working days. Should the owner or the owner's representative not appear the determination of the cost to the owner shall be final, in accordance with F.S. § 337.404. (g) A final order of the town imposed pursuant to Florida Statutes, and applicable provisions of the Town Code, if any, shall constitute a lien on any property of the owner and may be enforced as provided therein. (h) The town retains the right and privilege to cut or move any facilities located within the public rights -of -way of the town, as the town manager in his/her reasonable discretion, may determine to be necessary, appropriate or useful in response to any public health or safety emer- gency. If circumstances permit, the town shall attempt to notify the owner of the facility, if known, prior to cutting or removing a facility and shall notify the owner of the facility, if known, after cutting or removing a facility. (i) Upon abandonment of a facility within the public rights -of -way of the town, the owner of the facility shall notify the town within 90 days. Following receipt of such notice, the town may direct the facility owner to remove all or any portion of the facility if the town determines that such removal will be in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare. In the event that the town does not direct the removal of the abandoned facility by the owner of the facility, and the facility owner chooses not to remove its facilities, then such owner, by its notice of aban- donment to the town, shall be deemed to consent to the alteration or removal of all, or any portion of the facility by another utility or person. (Ord. No. 01 -3, § 1, 10- 19 -01) Sec. 8. Use of rights-of-way, (a) A facility owner agrees at all times to comply with and abide by all applicable provi- sions of the state statutes and local laws includ- ing, but not limited to, applicable zoning regula- tions not inconsistent with state and federal laws.

After 30 days, the town may obtain reimbursement from the security fiord. The "prior written notice" described in this paragraph shall be considered a final written decision for purposes of the appel- late rights outlined in subsection (p) of this sec- tion. (fl The use of trenchless technology (i.e., direc- tional bore method) for the installation of facili- ties in the public rights -of -way as well as joint trenching and/or the co- location of facilities in existing conduit is strongly encouraged, and should be employed wherever possible. (g) The town manager may issue such addi- tional rules and regulations concerning the place- ment or maintenance of a telecommunications facility in the public rights -of -way, as may be consistent with applicable law and not inconsis- tent with this appendix. (h) All safety practices required by applicable law or accepted industry practices and standards shall be used during construction, maintenance, and repair of the telecommunications facilities. (i) In the event that at any time during the term of the rights granted herein the town shall lawfully elect to alter, or change the grade of, any public rights -of -way, upon reasonable notice by the town, the registrant shall make any necessary removals, relaying and relocations of its telecom- munications facilities at its own expense, in ac- cordance with applicable law. The town reserves the right to place and maintain, and permit to be placed or maintained, sewer, gas, water, electric, storm drainage, communications or other types of facilities, cables or conduits, and to do, and to permit to be done, any underground and overhead installation or improvement that may be deemed necessary or proper by the town in the public rights -of -way occupied by the registrant. Q) A facility owner shall obtain any and all required permits and pay any and all required fees before commencing any construction on or otherwise disturbing any public - rights -of way as a result of its construction, except as provided herein. The facility owner shall, at its own ex- pense, restore such property to as good a condi- tion as existed prior to commencement of work. A registrant shall guarantee its restoration for a period of 12 months after the completion of such restoration. If such restoration is not performed in a reasonable and satisfactorily manner within 30 calendar days after the completion of construc- tion, the town may, after prior written notice to registrant, cause the repairs to be made at the facility's owner expense, utilizing town employ- ees, agents or contractors, charge any and all costs, and require reimbursement within 30 days after the submission of the bill by the town to the registrant. A permit from the town constitutes authorization to undertake only certain activities on public rights -of -way in accordance with this appendix, and does not create a property right or grant authority to impinge upon the rights of others who may have an interest in the public rights -of -way. (k) All ongoing installation, construction and maintenance of a telecommunications facility lo- cated in the public rights -of -way shall be subject to the town's periodic inspection for compliance with this appendix, or any applicable provisions of the Town Code. (1) The town makes no warranties or represen- tations regarding the fitness, suitability or avail- ability of the town's public rights -of -way for the registrant's communications facilities and any performance of work, costs incurred or services provided by registrant shall be at registrant's sole risk. (m) A facility owner shall cooperate with the town by providing timely and complete informa- tion requested under this subparagraph.

All information required by this section shall be maintained in accordance with F.S. § 202.195. (n) Suspension or denial of permits. Subject to subsection (p) below, the town manager or a designee may suspend or deny a permit for work in the public rights -of -way for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Violation of permit conditions, including conditions set forth in this appendix or other applicable provisions of the Town Code or regulations governing use of pub- lic rights -of -way; or (2) Misrepresentation or fraud by registrant in a registration or permit application to the town; or (3) Failure to relocate or remove facilities as may be lawfully required by the town; or (4) Failure of registrant, its employees, agents or subcontractors, in connection with the subject permit, to (a) place barricades or signs around the work area, (b) take rea- sonable safety precautions to alert the public of work at the work site, or (c) repair, replace and restore any sidewalk street, alley, pavement, water, sewer or other utility line or appurtenance, soil, landscaping, dirt or other improvement property or structure of any nature. In the event of such failure, the town may per- form the work utilizing town employees, agents or contractors, charge any and all costs, and require reimbursement within 30 days after the submission of the bill by the town to registrant. (o) Immediately after the suspension or denial of permit pursuant to this section, the town shall provide written notice of the violation, which notice shall contain a description of the violation. A final written decision(s) of the town manager suspending a permit or denying an application is subject to appeal. Upon correction of any violation that gave rise to a suspension or denial of permit, the suspension or denial shall be lifted. (p) An appeal must be filed with the town within 30 days of the date of the final, written decision(s) to be appealed. Any appeal not timely filed shall be waived. The town commission shall hear the appeal no later than 45 days from the end of the 30 -day appeal period, unless waived by the registrant. (q) In the event registrant desires to use its existing facilities or to construct new facilities for the purpose of providing other utility or non- utility services to existing or potential consumers or resellers, by providing cable services, or any other services other than the provision of telecom- munications service, or for providing any other use to existing or potential consumers, a regis- trant shall seek such additional and separate authorization from town for such activities as may required by applicable law. In the event that • registrant is acting in its proprietary function as • retail provider of telecommunications equip- ment or appliances, registrant shall seek the appropriate permits and licenses from the town. (r) To the extent that any person or registrant leases or otherwise uses the facilities of an entity that is duly registered or otherwise authorized to place and maintain facilities in the public rights - of -way of the town, the person or registrant shall make no claim, nor assert any right, which will impede the lawful exercise of the town's rights, including requiring the removal of such facilities from the public rights -of -way of the town, regard- less of the effect on the persons ability to provide service or on the registrant's ability to maintain its own telecommunications facilities in the public rights -of -way of the town. Any person or regis- trant leasing or otherwise using the facilities of a registrant or other entity authorized to place and maintain facilities in the public rights -of -way, may provide the town with notice of its use of such facilities, describing the location of the facilities used and providing the town with an address to which notice from the town should be sent. In the event the town exercises its lawful authority to require the removal or relocation of any such facilities, under this provision, such person or registrant leasing or otherwise using the facilities of a registrant or other entity authorized to place and maintain facilities in the public rights -of -way, shall receive notice from the town of such removal CDA:11 §s GULF STREAM CODE or relocation of such facilities. The failure of the town to provide notice, under this paragraph, shall not render the town's actions under this paragraph invalid. (Ord. No. 01 -3, § 1, 10- 19 -01) Sec. 9. Termination of registration. The involuntary termination of a registration may only be accomplished by an action of the town commission. The town may declare the registration terminated and revoke and cancel all privileges granted under that registration if (a) a federal or state authority suspends, denies, or revokes a registrant's certification to provide tele- communications service, (b) the registrant is ad- judicated bankrupt by a United States District Court or through any legal proceeding of any kind, or that a receiver is appointed to take possession of the assets of the registrant, (c) the registrant abandons all of its facilities. Prior to such termination by the town resulting from a violation of any of the provisions of this subpara- graph, the registrant shall be notified by the town manager with a written notice setting forth all matters pertinent to such violation, and describ- ing the action of the town with respect thereto. The registrant shall have 60 days after receipt of such notice within which to cure the violation, or within which to present a plan, satisfactory to the town commission, to accomplish the same. In the event of an emergency, the town may take appro- priate action in accordance with subsection 7(d) of this appendix. In the event of a vote by the town commission to terminate, the registrant shall, within a reasonable time following such termina- tion, remove or abandon the facilities and take such steps as are necessary to render every por- tion of the facilities remaining within the public right -of -way of the town safe. If the registrant has either abandoned its facilities or chooses to aban- don its facilities, the town may either (1) require the registrant's bonding company to remove some or all of the facilities from the public right -of -way and restore the public right -of -way to its proper condition or (2) the town may require that some or all of the facilities be removed and the public right -of -way restored to its proper condition at the registrant's expense, utilizing town employ- ees, agents or contractors, and charge any and all costs, and require reimbursement. The obliga- tions of the registrant and the bonding company hereunder shall survive, for a period of 24 months from, the termination of the registration. In the event of a termination of registration, this provi- sion does not permit the town to cause the re- moval of any facilities that are used to provide another service for which the registrant holds a valid certification with the governing federal and state telecommunications agencies and is prop- erly registered with the town, for such certificated service, under this appendix. (Ord. No. 01 -3, § 1, 10- 19 -01) Sec. 10. Compliance with other laws; police power. A facility owner shall at all times be subject to and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws. A facility owner shall at all times be subject to all lawful exercises of the police power of the town, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable Laws. (Ord. No. 01 -3, § 1, 10- 19 -01) Sec. 11. Transfer of control; sale or assign- ment. (a) If the registrant transfers or assigns its registration incident to a sale or other transfer of the registrant's assets, the transferee or assignee shall be obligated to comply with the terms of this appendix. Written notice of any transfer, sale or assignment shall be provided to the town within 20 days of the effective date of the transfer, sale or assignment. In order for the transfer of registra- tion to be effective, the transferee or assignee must comply with the registration requirements under section 4 of this appendix. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this appen- dix, pledges in trust or mortgages or other hypoth- ecations of the assets of the registrant to secure the construction, operation or repair of its tele- communications facilities may be made to any person without notice to the town. Any mortgage, pledge, lease or other encumbrance of the telecom- munications facilities shall be subject and subor- dinate to the rights of the town by virtue of this appendix or other applicable law. (Ord. No. 01 -3, § 1, 10- 19 -01) CDA:12 • • • POLICY -Limit of Town's Responsibility for Fallen Trees The Town will not be responsible for damages to private property —� caused by a tree on the public right -of -way falling on private / property as a result of an act of God. The Town will be responsible to remove the fallen tree. This policy was adopted by the Town Commission at the Regular Commission Meeting held on July 14, 2006. �, , k� l INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA OFFICE OF THE TOWN MANAGER E. SCOTT HARRINGTON DATE: February 5, 1993 TO: Mayor Koch and Town Commissioners RE: Right -Of -Way Policy Updat� As you requested, letters were mailed to all property owners with rocks and other hard objects located in the right -of -way. Most residents have removed their objects and those that have not are being contacted again to bring about compliance. As a last resort, Town staff will remove the materials. To date, research on the issue of objects in the right -of -way suggests that nothing other than low landscape materials and mail boxes should be permitted within 6 feet of the edge of pavement. Under Florida State Statutes, the Town is required to comply with this standard unless, upon sound research, we deem some other standard appropriate. Such research would have to be conducted by a qualified professional (i.e. a traffic engineer), and most of the traffic engineers I have spoken with do not believe they could defend a less restrictive standard. As expected, some residents, particularly those on corner lots, have complained that vehicles are running off of the pavement and over their sod. The only legally defensible alternative to the rocks, buttons and pyramids would be to construct curbs. However, this solution can be expensive in addition to creating drainage problems. It is unfortunate that so few options are available. I will continue to monitor what other communities are doing, but until then, I believe we must go with this standard. Accordingly, I recommend we adopt the following policy: 1) All materials located in Town rights -of -way must comply with state standards. 2) All objects, other than sod, to be located in Town rights -of -way must first receive a permit from the Town Planning and Building Administrator who must find the material to be consistent with state standards prior issuing a permit. The Administrator's decision may be appealed to the Town Commission. TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA Construction- Damage Prevention Policy The following policy is established to assist in protecting residential lawns from damage caused by construction vehicles. As an exception to the Town's Right -Of -Way POlicy, Town residents who own property in the vicinity of an active construction site will be permitted to install white for painted dark green) capped PVC pipes, 36" above grade along the front of their property, 2' from road's edge. These pipes should be approximately 9' apart. The maximum pipe size shall be 2" in diameter. The pipes shall be removed immediately following the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the construction site. • As part of the site plan review process the project architect shall submit a "construction traffic management plan" to be followed by the contractor. This would be required as part of the application submittal and will be made a condition of approval. The plan shall include designated parking locations for construction vehicles and shall Include consideration of protective stakes along adjacent properties, to be installed by the contractors prior to initiation of work. Other measures to reduce impact on local roads and residents property shall be included. Adopted by unanimous vote on February 5, 1999 ms /memo /damagepreven t MINUTES OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT HEARING HELD BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2007, AT 10:00 A.M., IN THE COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE TOWN HALL, 100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA. Special Magistrate Lara Donlon called the hearing to order at 10:10 A.M. • The Magistrate administered the Oath to William Thrasher, Town Manager, Officer David Ginsberg, Yvonne Eckert, Deputy Town Clerk and Herbert Schaffer. The Special Magistrate instructed that the Town would first present their case and then the defendant could present his case and cross - examine if, so desired. Case No. CE4 -07: Herbert Schaffer, 2765 Cardinal Circle Failure to comply with order of Special Magistrate. Debris from dead tree not removed by September 5, 2007, as ordered. Town Manager Thrasher presented the following exhibits: 1) Letter of non - compliance and notice of fine assessment; 2) Photographs of debris taken 8/27/07; 3) Letter dated 8/29/2007; 4) Photographs taken 9/07/2007; 5) Certified letter dated 9/11/2007; 6) Photographs taken on 9/11/07; 7) Correspondence from Mr. Schaffer indicating that the violation has been corrected; 8) Notice of hearing and certified notice dated 10/08/07; 9) Certified letter marked refused; 10) Photographs taken on 10/22/07; 11) Photographs taken 10/23/07, showing the violation still exist. Mr. Thrasher stated that the town believes Mr. Schaffer has failed to comply with the order of the Special Magistrate and that the condition continues to exist with debris material around the stump. He is requesting that accumulation of fines be established and, effective immediately, the fines be increased to $50 per day. Mr. Thrasher asked if Mr. Schaffer would like to see any of the photographs he presented. The Special Magistrate asked Mr. Schaffer to direct his comments to her and respond regarding the violations. Mr. Schaffer declined to view the photographs the Town Manager presented but requested copies of the exhibits the town manager presented to the Special Magistrate. He explained that he has cleared 70% of the debris off the easement the excess material are logs which he intends to use for firewood. He advised that the logs are stored and covered with a blue tarp on his property. Mr. Schaffer stated he has made a reasonable effort to remove the debris but the town does not have a definitive policy on storing items. Mr. Schaffer asked if the town manager went onto his • property to take the photographs The Special Master asked Mr. Thrasher and Officer Ginsberg if either one entered Mr. Schaffer's property to take the photographs. They both responded that they did not go on Mr. Schaffer's property. Officer Ginsberg clarified that neither he nor the Town Manager or any Gulf Stream police officers entered Mr. Schaffer's property to take the photographs. He added that since the last hearing, the amount of debris that was photographed has not been moved from the present location. r'.�wn iof Gulf Stream October 23, 2007 Code Enforcement Hearing Page 2 Special Master Donlon asked the Town Manager if the items stored under the blue tarp is an acceptable method of storage. Town Manager Thrasher stated that in the present location he does not believe the items are properly stored under the blue tarp and could attract rodents. • Mr. Schaffer asked if the Town Manager recalled testifying under oath at a previous meeting that he did go onto his property. He added that he is pressing legal charges against the Town Manager. Mr. Thrasher stated that at no time did he ever enter Mr. Schaffer's property and he did not make any statement to that effect. He asked for a copy of the police report. Mr. Schaffer stated that he wanted a copy of all exhibits and a copy of the transcripts if there is one. Town Clerk Taylor asked that Mr. Schaffer make an official records request in writing and the Special Magistrate so directed. The Magistrate explained that normally she would make a ruling from the bench. However, she needs to do more legal research on the subject and reserved ruling on the case until further notice. She requested that staff provide her with the code section that relates to storing items. She asked that copies be sent to Mr. Schaffer as well. The Special Master advised that she would issue a written ruling. Case No. CE5 -07; Mark Spillane, 1314 N. Ocean Blvd. Constructed pergola additions to existing structures without first obtaining a building permit. Violation of Sec. 42.26 of Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances adopting Sec. 104.1 of the Florida Building Code. The Town Manager explained that pergolas were installed without first obtaining a building permit, which is a violation of Sec. 42.26 of Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances adopting Sec. 104.1 of the Florida Building Code. He advised that, according to code, a permit fee of four times the regular permit fee is to be imposed. There being no representative for Mr. Spillane, Town Manager Thrasher presented following exhibits: 1) Proof of Mr. Spillane's ownership of the property; 2) Police incident report; 3) Photographs of the pergola taken on 7/20/07; 4) Hand • delivered notice of violation and an incident report dated 8/13/07; 5) Notice of hearing and incident report dated 10/8/07.

If the respondent fails to comply within the time specified, a fine assessment hearing will be held before the Special Magistrate on a date and time to be determined and a fine of up to $250 per day shall be assessed for each day the violation continues to exist. 3''own o5Gulf Stream Code Enforcement Hearing October 23, 2007 Page 3 There being no other items on the agenda, the Special Magistrate adjourned the meeting at 10:45 A.M. `J Yv e E.

He added that the town would share the cost of removal of the tree with Mr. Schaffer 50150 as recommended by Mr. Hoyt. The Magistrate asked if seven days is enough time to acquire bids and remove the tree. She then questioned if town had a procurement procedure for obtaining bids. I t Town of Gurf Stream July 31, 2007 Code Enforcement Hearing Page 2 The town manager confirmed that seven days would be enough time to complete task. The Special Magistrate asked Mr. Schaffer to respond regarding the violations. Mr. Schaffer requested copies of the exhibits the town manager presented to the Special • Magistrate and asked if the town manager went on to his property to take the photographs he presented. He added that if he did so, he would file a legal charge against him. He explained that when he purchased the lot in the early 70's, the ficus tree was existing and over the years, the tree grew onto his property. He stated that he asked the developer, Mr. Reed, if the he could remove the tree and was told no, as it is a part of the treescape, but that he could maintain it. He stated the tree started dying over the past years and he has removed over 80% of the mass, at his own expense. Mr. Schaffer stated that that he has maintained the tree for the past 30 years and believes the town should remove the dying tree at no cost to him. He presented the following exhibits: 1) Photograph of the lot; 2) Photograph of a ficus tree across the street from his property that he said was planted at the same time as the tree in question; 3) Photograph of the dead ficus tree. He advised that the town could come onto his property to maintain the tree as long as he is notified. Special Magistrate Donlon advised Mr. Schaffer that the town would provide copies of the exhibits. She asked if the town has any landscaping plans for the development. Town Clerk Taylor stated that she has not seen any landscaping plan but there is a plat of the subdivision. She added that she is not sure if a landscaping plan was required back then. The town manager advised that the town does not have any developer's agreement. He believed that Mr. Schaffer assumed responsibility and maintained the tree, thus it is his tree and he should bear the full cost of the removal. Mr. Thrasher believes that the portion of the mass that was removed caused the tree to die.

C D 2 : 5 § 2.69 GULF STREAM CODE (d) If the code inspector has reason to believe a violation of the condition causing the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare or if the violation is irrepara- ble or irreversible in nature, the code inspector shall make a reasonable effort to notify the viola- tor and may immediately notify the special mas- ter and request a hearing. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -70. Conduct of hearings. (a) At the hearing, the burden of proof shall be upon the town to show by substantial competent evidence that a violation did occur or does exist, or has been repeated. Assuming proper notice of hearing has been given to the respondent, either as actual notice or as provided herein, a hearing may proceed in the absence of the respondent. (b) All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. The formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repeti- tious evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible, whether or not such evidence would be admissible at a trial in the courts of the state. Documentary and physical evidence may be admitted. (c) The special master may inquire of any witness who is testifying before him/her. The respondent, or his attorney and the town attorney and his/her designee shall be permitted to inquire of any witness before the special master. The special master may call any witness deemed nec- essary to provide a full and fair hearing of the case. (d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe- cial master shall issue findings of fact based on evidence on the record and conclusions of law, and shall issue an order affording the proper relief consistent with the powers granted herein. The order shall be stated orally at the meeting, and shall be reduced to writing and mailed to the alleged violator within ten working days after the hearing. The order may include a notice that it must be complied with by a specified date and that a fine, as well as the cost of repairs, may be imposed if the order is not complied with by such date. A certified copy of such order may be re- corded in the public records of the county and shall constitute notice to any subsequent purchas- ers, successors in interest, or assigns if the viola- tion concerns real property, and the findings therein shall be binding upon the violator and, if the violation concerns real property, any subsequent purchasers or successors in interest or assigns. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -71. Powers. The special master shall have the power to: (1) Adopt rules for the conduct of his/her meetings and hearings. (2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses to his/her hearings. (3) Subpoena evidence as necessary for his/ her hearings, including, but not limited to physical and documentary evidence such as records, surveys, plats and photo- graphs. (4) Take testimony under oath. (5) Issue orders having the force and effect of law which can command whatever steps are necessary to bring a violation into compliance, such decision to be made at the hearing and reduced to writing and mailed to the respondent(s) within ten working days thereafter. (6) Establish and enforce fines pursuant to section 2 -72. (7) Authorize the town attorney to foreclose on liens imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 which remain unpaid after a period of three months. (8) Authorize the reduction of any fine he/she has imposed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2.72. Administrative fines, costs of re- pair; liens. (a) The special master, upon notification by the code inspector that an order of the special master has not been complied with by the set time or, upon finding that a repeat violation has been committed, may order the violator to pay a fine in an amount specified in this section for each day CD2:6 " " C " " A D M I N I S T R A T I O N t h e v i o l a t i o n c o n t i n u e s p a s t t h e d a t e s e t b y t h e s p e c i a l m a s t e r f o r c o m p l i a n c e o r , i n t h e c a s e o f a r e p e a t v i o l a t i o n , f o r e a c h d a y t h e r e p e a t v i o l a t i o n c o n t i n u e s , b e g i n n i n g w i t h t h e d a t e t h e r e p e a t v i o l a t i o n i s f o u n d t o h a v e o c c u r r e d b y t h e s p e c i a l m a s t e r .

(2) The applicant is not personally indebted to the town for any reason. (3) All town code violations have been cor- rected under necessary permits issued therefor. (b) In considering an application to reduce a fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72, no satisfaction thereof shall be approved by the spe- cial master with less than full payment thereof, unless the special master shall make a specific finding that no violation of any ordinance de- scribed in section 2 -68 of this Code exists on the subject real property. (c) The balance of any fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 that is reduced by the special master shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special master. (d) If the property for which an application for a fine reduction is being considered is owned by a government or quasi - government entity, the spe- cial master may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected.

Schaffer II 2765 Cardinal Circle Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 Signature (addressee) or Agent Signature Article No. Date Delivered 3 ISVE - Tree Trunk Extension Forestry Tree Trunk Page 1 of 1 Growth in the diameter of plants is due to the cell divisions in the cambium, an extremely thin cylinder of meristermatic tissue found just under the bark. New cells are formed on both sides of the cambium each year. Those to the inside make up the xylem, which conducts water and nutrients; and those to the outside make up the phloem, which transports sugars, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, and stored food. In the xylem, the fibers provide strength and the vessels allow water and nutrient flow to the leaves. The annual rings found in tree stems are a sapwood result of variations in growth rate and in the heartwood type of wood produced early and late in the — —'_ — Vern growing season. Within each ring, the lighter outer bark pit pol : - phloem wood is springwood, formed early in the - -- season with larger, thin walled cells; the cambium— cork cambium darker, thick walled cells of the summerwood - annual rings are formed later in the year. When counting the rings to determine the age of a tree, both of these bands are included in one year. The environmental conditions of an individual - r lrii y tree, most notably the amount of moisture and light available, are recorded each year in its '- Vk'. rings. The width of these rings may be used as vessels fibers i a measure of the health and vigor of the tree. A cross- section of a tree stem reveals differences in its basic structure. Heartwood is found at the center of the tree. It is composed of old xylem tissue that is no longer living, but still retains structural strength and infection resisting ability. Sapwood is the living xylem inside the cambial layer that is actively involved in fluid transport. Researchers have found that the number of annual rings still living at any time is highly variable, ranging from one to 20 rings depending on the species. The living phloem cells just to the outside of the cambium, the inner bark, provide nutrient transport. The outer bark is composed of dead phloem cells that are pushed to the outside, and sloughed off by the tree over time. roots - crown - tree form - Tree Identification Homenaee ISU Forestry Extension -ISU Extension Contact.

The trunk is the part of a tree that connects the leafy crown with its roots. Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, which are then transported up the tree trunk in cells that act much like pipes. This allows the leaves to obtain water and nutrients that are necessary for the manufacture of food from light energy (photosynthesis). Food made in the leaves is then transported down to the roots and to other parts of the tree for growth. The "pipes" in the trunk are known as vascular tissue. It is this vascular tissue which we exploit to make paper and other forest products. A Tree and Its Trunk page 1 2 3 4 5 back Wood is primarily made of xylem (tracheids in conifers, vessel elements in hardwoods) that behave very much like a bundle of straws. Try crushing a bundle of straws from the side. Next try crushing the same bundle of straws from the ends!

The bark of the tree is probably one of the most familiar parts of a tree. The bark is an outer covering of dead tissue, which protects the tree from weather, disease, insects, fire and mechanical injury. Bark characteristics can vary greatly from tree to tree and can be useful in identification. The next layer immediately inside the bark is called the phloem. The phloem is a thin layer of living cells and is responsible for transporting food around the tree. Large amounts of sugar travel down the phloem to the roots. Sugar may also travel up the phloem to other parts of a tree that need energy for growth and maintenance. The next portion of the trunk is called the vascular cambium. The cambium is a very thin layer of living tissue which produces new phloem to its outside and new xylem to its inside. The cambium is most active in the spring and early summer when most tree growth is taking place. During this time of the year the bark of a tree is very loose and can be easily knocked off the tree. Inside the vascular cambium is the largest portion of the trunk known as the xylem. The xylem is composed of dead, thick cells that act as pipes for transporting water and nutrients up the tree. The active portion of the xylem is known as the sapwood. The sapwood is found near the outside of the tree. Older xylem is known as heartwood and is found in the middle of the trunk. The heartwood is often darker in color and is not very active in transport. The darker color is caused by resins, oils and minerals, which are deposited as the Page I of 2 http: / /www.cnr. vt.edu/dendro /forsite /tait2.htm 7/27/2007 A Tree and Its Trunk page 2 Page 2 of 2 tree grows.

They are arranged longitudinally. The shape of xylem cells is what gives wood its unique characteristics. Pine trees and other conifers have long, narrow xylem cells called tracheids. This shape provides a surface that gives strength to paper products. This is one reason why pine fiber is so valuable to the forest products industry. Oak trees and other angiosperm species have xylem cells with variable shapes. Oaks are unique because they transport water through vessel elements that are so wide they can be seen with the naked eye.

What makes these rings? An annual ring is one year's worth of xylem growth. In most trees the xylem cells formed in the spring are larger than those formed later in the summer. The difference in size results in what appears as a ring. In some species such as oak and ash the spring xylem is so wide you can actually see them with the naked eye resulting in a very clear ring.

Way Hoyt Consulting Arborist July 26, 2007 Mr. Bill Thrasher Town Manager Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 -7427 RE: DEAD FICUS TREE AT 2765 CARDINAL CIRCLE Dear Mr. Thrasher: 4301 NE 13 Terrace Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334 -4 70 7 Phone: (954) 561 -9514 Fax- (954) 561 -9550 E- Mail: Wayhoyt@aol.com At your request I inspected a dead ficus tree on the residential property at 2765 Cardinal Circle. The tree was dead at the time of my inspection. I identified the tree as Ficus retusa. The tree trunk appears to have grown to a large size, and in so doing part of the trunk has grown over the property line onto the Town of Gulf Stream easement area. The trunk and main branches have been cut off to a height of about 15'. In my opinion the tree is a nuisance in that the dead tree is unsightly, may harbor rodents, termites or other problems, and as it decays, may also fall onto publicly accessed property. Although I am not a lawyer, I believe that a tree whose trunk stands wholly on the land of one person belongs to that person. If the trunk stands partly on the land of two or more people, it usually belongs to all the property owners equally. Tree Care Specialist • Horticulturist • Educator • Tree Structures & Liabilities Member. International Society of Arboriculture Town of Gulf Stream Dead Tree at 2765 Cardinal Circle When trees grow across a property line, the landowners are considered tenants in common, even if the tree was substantially on one property and the origin of the trunk extended only a few inches onto the adjoining property. Based on this common law concept, I believe that the removal of the tree in this case is equally the responsibility of the landowner and the Town of Gulf Stream.
