Recommendation: That the Board review and consider Lien relief request made by Stephen M. Guttmann, Attorney for the Estate of George Dees, against properties located at 3319 Old Fairfield Drive and 1207 West Yonge Street.

On August 21, 2014, the Board amended the "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H 2.  Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness and allowing the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf if set criteria are met.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of Liens, staff made the determination that the request DOES fall within the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf and grant or deny relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H 2.

County Administrator, Jack Brown, sent Mr. Guttmann a denial letter because the Estate of George Dees is the owner/violator.  Mr. Guttmann is now requesting relief from the Board.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider adopting, subject to Legal review and sign-off, a revised Resolution that omits approximately 160 pages of the documents that were included in "Exhibit 1" to the original Resolution approved May 19, 2016, which are prohibitively expensive for the owner to record.
