July 19, 2005 Construction debris and Hurricane Protection AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 7 ENTITLED "BUILDINGS "; BY ADDING SECTIONS 7 -13, ENTITLED "SITE DEBRIS" AND 7 -14, ENTITLED "HURRICANE PROTECTION"; RELATING TO ENSURING THAT ALL CONSTRUCTION SITES ARE SECURED IN THE EVENT OF A HURRICANE OR WARNING OR WATCH; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: The City of South Miami is located in a portion of the State which is prone to being affected by frequent hurricanes. It is the responsibility of the City to ensure the residences are not endangered in any way possible. The adding of these two sections to Chapter 7, of the City Code of Ordinances, will require that construction sites do not create a condition which will endanger the residences. Contactors and property owners who have construction in progress will be required to prepare for threatening hurricanes. By not doing so, this code amendment will legally give the City the right to fine the violators and to enter private property for the purpose of cleaning the site for a forthcoming hurricane. This amendment also gives the City the authority to charge the violator for the cost of securing the site plus a 10% administrative fee. The City will have the right to file a lien against the property for the cost plus the fine administered if they are not paid as prescribed by the amendment.
