relating to Royal Cove B & C Site). Chapter 13, Sec. 1 through 3A, 4,

For the record, Ms. Leffingwell again advised that all violations re-

Citation 2339-92. Richard Mendelson, 1124 Highland Beach Dr .,
Block 2, Lot 8 Bel Lido. Chapter 17-2 and 6-30(b) [Nuisances and
Buildings & Structures].
Ms. Leffingwell repeated there had been no contact from either Mr.
Mendelson or his architect since the Board had given a two-month ex-
tension (March 17, 1993 meeting) to allow time for Mr. Mendelson's
applications to the Planning and Community Appearance Boards; as of
this date, the loose tiles remained stacked on the roof. She
reiterated the need for definitive action due to the imminence of
hurricane season.
Skip Jackman, architect for Mr. Mendelson, was sworn in and gave a
synopsis of the reasons why the tiles remained loose on the roof.
He said Mr. Mendelson had twice changed his mind about what kind of
remodeling job he wanted done and, just recently, had advised he was
moving from Town and would not be proceeding with remodeling plans of

any kind; rather quotes had been requested for putting the tiles back
in their original state on the roof and two (Z) bids had been re-
ceived from certified roofers as of this date. He added that Mr.
Mendelson, due to his changed personal circumstances, was anxious to
complete this work and come into compliance; in this regard, Mr.
Jackman asked that the Board consider a short extension to complete
the job.
Substantial discussion took place, with emphasis on the longevity of
this violation as well as the impending safety factor regarding
hurricane season. In conclusion, it was the consensus of the members
to grant a short extension and set a time certain for completion, with
a fine to be imposed daily if work was not completed as directed.
MOTION by MR. HAMERMAN/MR. SARUBBI was made as follows:
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD GRANTS A TWO-WEEK EXTENSION,
UNTIL JUNE 2, 1993, FOR THE TILES ON THE ROOF OF RICHARD
MENDELSON'S RESIDENCE AT 1124 HIGHLAND BEACH DRIVE, BLOCK
2, LOT 8, BEL LIDO TO BE PUT BACK IN PLACE. IF THIS WORK
IS NOT COMPLETED BY JUNE 2, 1993, A FINE OF $100.00 PER
DAY WILL BE IMPOSED UNTIL SUCH TIME MR. MENDELSON COMES
. INTO COMPLIANCE.
Before a vote was taken, Chairman Hadeed tabled this Motion and called
for a Motion to determine 'Findings of Fact.' He asked Ms.
Leffingwell if both violations as noted for two (2) Code sections in
the Citation still applied and she advised that Mr. Mendelson had com-
plied with that portion of the Citation having to do with Chapter
17-2. Accordingly, MR. HAMERMAN/MR. SARUBBI made the following
MOTION:
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT FINDS RICHARD MENDELSON GUILTY
OF VIOLATING TOWN CODE, CHAPTER 6, SECTION 30(b), AS
SO CHARGED IN CITATION 2339-92.
Roll was first called on this Motion, followed by roll ca11 on the
previously tabled Motion. Both met with unanimous favorable vote.
