09/16/2015 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT GOODMAN Approved VISITED SITE, FIRST CHECKED THE FRONT YARD, FOUND MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF TREES IN THE FRONT YARD, SOME OVERGROWNING INTO THE TREE NEXT TO IT. I DID FIND 3 PALM TREES IN THE FRONT, NONE OF THEM WERE DYING. ONE PALM TREE ON THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE WAS OVERHANGING THE FENCE, MAKING THIS A CIVIL ISSUE. THEN INSPECTED THE REAR YARD FROM THE ALLEY. REAR YARD OF THE PROPERTY HAS A 8 FT PERIMETER YD WALLNOT ALLOWING A PERSON TO SEE ONTO THE PROPERTY. ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, A STRUCTURE WAS ADDED TO THE REAR OF 245 SOUTH 4TH AND SITS ON THE PROPERTY LINE NORTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINES ON 245. AT THE N/E CORNER OF THE ADDED CARPORTIS A 2 FT GAP WITH A WROUGHT IRON GATE THAT ALLOWED ME TO LOOK ON THE PROEPRTY. I FOUND AN OLD 8' X 12' SHED NOT A PROBLEM, WEST OF THE SHED WAS A SPA (?) OR BUILDING APROOX 8' X8' WITH A METAL ROOF THAT PITCHED TO THE CENTER, DID FIND A STACK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE VENT STACK AND THERE WAS A PALM TREE 8' AWAY/ 3 FT FROM THE BUILDING TO THE WEST. I FOUND NO FIRE ISSUES WITH THE STACK. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 3 PALM TREES THAT I COULD SEE, PALM FRONDS WERE APPROX. 8-9' OFF THE GROUND AND DRIED FRONDS WERE LEFT ON THE TREE (NOT A VIOLATION) SAUNA OR SPA IS 6 FT OFF THE PROPERTY, THE 245 PROPERTY WAS BUILT O THE PROPERTY LINE PER THE AERIAL VIEWS. IT ACTUALLY SHOWS 245 ON THE 237 PROPERTY. I COULD SEE A VERY OLD VOLVO BEHIND THE 8 FT WALL AND ALSO A 8 FT FENCE SECTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CAR. COULD NOT SEE THE PILE OF DEBRIS IN QUESTION AND PROBABLY WHY THEY BUILT A 8 FT FENCE IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. NO VIOLATION / CLOSE CASE.
