Vice-Chair John L. Papera, Dean H. Luce, Martin Sahn and Andrew M. Guglielmo. John
J. Pagliaro and Sydel Frohlich were absent. Also in attendance was Town Attorney

This meeting was called to hear the following code enforcement violation:
Case No. 03-14: Luxury Development Corp.
Mr. Paul G. Roiff
1460 S. Ocean Blvd.
Manalapan, FL 33462
Re: Violation of Chapter 30-68(m), Temporary Structures and Chapter 17-3, Nuisances,
of the Code of Ordinances of the Town of Highland Beach, Florida.
• Deputy Town Clerk swore in any member of the public who would be testifying.
Mr. Dawson noted the following violations:
. There is no building permit in force for allowing existing sales trailer and existing fence.
. Due to lack of a building permit, existing pilings are not permitted to remain.
. Lot needs to be cleaned up (cut, garbage picked-up) and torn "models" flag needs to
be removed.
A power-point picture presentation of the site was shown to the Board.
Mr. Alex Heckler, project manager, noted that Luxury Developers are not part of the "bad
history" of this property (two prior owners who never built), and that Luxury Developers
purchased property one day prior to filing an appeal within 30 days.
MOTION was made by Mrs. Zwick/Mr. Luce that Luxury Developers are not in
compliance with Town code and are instructed to, within a two week period, get the
permitting needed to remove within 30 days, the pilings, trailer, trash and fence.
There was lengthy discussion regarding the pilings and the cost of removing them and
replacing them. Should Luxury Developers bring suit against the Town and win, they
would ask that the Town pay for these expenses. Motion was withdrawn by Mrs.
• Zwick/Mr. Luce.

MOTION was made by Mr. Papera/Mr. Sahn to clean up site and maintain within ten
days, and that Luxury Development Corp would be granted 30 days to put forth a
proposal to the Board of what can be done, short of removal of the rebars/pilings, to
conceal the pilings and bring them up to safety compliance..
There was continued discussion about letting the trailer remain, due to the cost of
removal and replacement, and letting the fence remain until the piling issue is corrected.
MOTION was made by Mr. Papera/Mrs. Zwick that the grass, trash and flag be removed
with ten days (and maintain property). Motion met with unanimous approval.
MOTION was made by Mr. Guglielmo/Mr. Papera that the trailer must be removed within
the ten day period. Motion met with unanimous approval.
MOTION was made by Mrs. Zwick/Mr. Papera to levy a fine of $250/day after ten days
if conditions are not met. Motion met with unanimous approval.
At the October 15 Quarterly Meeting this citation will be addressed to ensure Luxury
Development has come into compliance, and hear proposal regarding pilings.
