Brush
Pick Up Debacle
History of the Problem:
Since October, 2009, the City's
Office of Code Compliance began a stepped up enforcement of City Ord. 50.04
"Collection of Commingled Waste and Recovered Material." This stepped up
enforcement saw many Hollywood residents cited for placing their brush and palm fronds in
the back of their property next to the alleys for pick up by the new contractor, Waste
Pro. Residents were confused as this practice has been very common for as long as anyone
can remember. The HLSCA complained to the City and at the HLSCAs October General
Membership meeting on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009, attendees heard Director of Code
Enforcement, Clay Milan, review the Citys Commingled Waste ordinance that, according
to Mr. Milan, does not permit brush storage during the month on private property. Many of
you that received the Notice of Violation and had your brush piles sprayed painted red for
placing your brush on your property by the alley as you have done for many years are as
confused as we are by this turn of events. Why, after all these years, are we in violation
for trimming our trees and shrubs and placing them on our property next to the alley for
pick up?
Most importantly, the HLSCA is firmly in
support of the City in their efforts to keep the alleys, swales and streets free of brush
and hard junk. We are in no way advocating that residents be allowed to block the alleys
and streets with brush and junk. That is and should clearly be a violation. However,
placing brush, palm fronds and plant trimmings at the rear of your property adjacent to
the alley OFF OF THE ALLEY PAVEMENT, should not be a violation. After all, where are
residents supposed to store brush? On our pool patios? In our garages? In our living
rooms? Or should we just let the palm fronds litter our yards until the last week of the
month when the scheduled pick up takes place?
For the City to expect residents to do
their yard trimmings and clean up only during the weekend before the scheduled pick up is
unrealistic and impractical. Therefore, being able to store brush in a designated area on
your property off of the alley pavement as we have done for so many years without penalty
is not an unreasonable expectation. Unfortunately, the City interprets the code
differently. Why the change of thinking at the City? One reason may be the initial poor
service we received from the Citys new sanitation contractor, Waste Pro. We all
lived through the first six months of the Waste Pro contract when even small brush piles
were not picked up. These small piles grew into large piles that began spilling onto the
alley pavement creating a hazard for vehicles that access the alleys. Residents began to
complain. Finally, in early September, the City came down hard on Waste Pro and they began
picking up every pile, regardless of size. They did a very good job of cleaning up brush
and hard junk throughout the City. This created a starting point or base line. Going
forward, the City knows that, effective October 1st, the alleys were fairly clean of brush
and hard junk. We think that may have instigated the renewed enforcement effort.
At the meeting, various ideas were
floated. The HLSCA would like to know your feelings on the following potential solutions
to the brush storage/pick up problem:
1) Replace one of the two weekly garbage
pick ups with a brush pick up. This would be very easy to do as Waste Pro already uses the
same trucks and crews, we are told, for both functions. It is felt that most people could
live with just one garbage pick up each week. For those that fill their garbage container
up twice a week, a second gray container could be obtained from the City.
2) Keep both weekly garbage pick ups but
add a weekly brush pick up for an additional fee added to your water bill. At this
time, we are not sure how much this would cost residents but we feel that it would be
nominal. As in #1, this solution would help those residents that do not live on an alley.
3) Amend the existing code to allow for
brush storage of 4 cubic yards or less at the rear of your property adjacent to (but not
on) the alley pavement. Some residents have a brush bay along their fence
line. A brush bay is an area along the rear property fence line that is indented or
notched and allows for brush or your garbage can to sit neatly without being on the alley
pavement.
Below are two photos showing the brush
bay concept:
Brush bay off of alley on private
property Brush bay on S. Northlake Drive
As can be seen in the above photo, a
brush bay can even be created along the street, off of the pavement, for those residents
that live on North or South Lake and do not have an alley.
But, help may be on the horizon as
we have learned that the Code Compliance office heard us loud and clear at January 19th
meeting attended by the HLSCA and the Hollywood Hills Civic Assn. and is proposing changes
to the City commingled ordinances. While the City is reviewing the flawed ordinance, the
Code Compliance office will not be writing citations for brush piles that are placed out
during the month as long as these piles are on private property and NOT touching the alley pavement. Stay tuned for
more
.
Of course, we welcome other suggestions,
too! info@hollywoodlakes.com
Hollywood Blvd. Improvement Project
The HLSCA Board has been following the long process that
began in 2003 and 2004 to reconstruct Hollywood Blvd. from the Intracoastal Bridge to
downtown Hollywood. The HLSCA Traffic and Safety Committee held numerous meetings in 2004
that were attended by the City of Hollywood engineering staff and the Florida Dept. of
Transportation (FDOT). Many Lakes residents attended these meeting and gave their input on
the plan to improve the roadway and make it safer. In early 2005, FDOT made a presentation
at an HLSCA General Membership meeting and an article was published showing the
preliminary plans for the project in the March Lakes Newsletter. In April, 2008, FDOT held
another public meeting to update the public on the project which is finally moving
forward. The main thrust of the project is to limit the very dangerous north-south
crossing pattern that has developed over the years at each avenue along the Boulevard.
Each year, many accidents occur, especially at 14th Ave. In a recent three year period,
there were 56 accidents along this stretch of the Boulevard. The City and FDOT were
convinced in 2004 that the solution would be a median that prohibits this direct crossing
everywhere except at the 13th Ave. traffic signal. There will be u-turn lanes a certain
streets that will allow traffic to reverse course. In addition, there will be improved
drainage along the sides of the roadway. The project got underway on April 30th, 2009 and
is expected to take 325 days to complete. For a detail presentation of the proposed
changes and improvements to the Boulevard, click here: Hollywood Blvd FDOT Presentation
For questions, call the FDOT Project Manager, Ido Shimony
at 954-920-7759 or email at ishimony@eismanrusso.com
Update #1: Construction
will formally began on April 30th. However, some preliminary electrical work has already
been completed. This electrical work involved installing new PVC underground conduit for
the street lights.The Contractor will be installing work zone safety signs and placing
environmental protection throughout the project in preparation for drainage and widening
work to begin around May 10. Also, utility locators will also be seen throughout the area
marking existing services. Actual construction for the widening will begin on the south
side of the Hollywood Blvd at 14th Avenue and progress eastbound. 4/30/09
Update #2: Work started on
the project April 30. This week the contractor will be placing barrier walls along the
center lanes in preparation for the start of the median construction. Starting later this
week will be the commencement of the south side widening starting at 14th
working east. Parking and bike paths will be maintained through the corridor with the
exception of areas where there will be active work. These areas will not exceed one block
at a time.
Residents have inquired about the sand or rock bags placed on the road
drains. The rock bags provide protection to the inlets from contamination as a result of
construction activities. The work on the project actually does not start until the entire
corridor is protected and inspected by the environmental coordinator for the FDOT, which
has been completed on this project. FDOT will insure that the rock bags do not inhibit
rainwater drainage. 5/15/09
Update #3:
Please be advised of the following anticipated two week work schedule for the FDOT
Hollywood Blvd Project:
Drainage work has started

either of the projects, the office phone is 954-920-7759
Jefferson
Park GOB Update
The City of Hollywood set aside funds for certain
improvements at Jefferson Park back in 2003 from the General Obligation Bond (GOB).
Somehow, not all of the improvements were completed. As a matter of fact, most of these
funds were used to complete drainage improvements on Jefferson Street near the Park. The
HLSCA cried foul and, as a result, Chuck Ellis, Dir.of Parks and Recreation, was able to
secure further grant funding to complete these missing items and add more improvements. In
a meeting on September 16th, Mr. Ellis explained to the HLSCA and Lakes neighbors that the
following improvements will be done: a walking path, picnic pavilion, improvements to the
multi-purpose playing field, improvements to bocce ball court and a new playground
apparatus with shade structure. The HLSCA and Lakes residents with small children are
asking for more "tot lot" equipment for children under seven years of age. The
total amount of the grant for this work will be $151,025.00. A schedule will be set for
this work in the near future. A special meeting was held on Thursday, April 14th at
Jefferson Park with the Dept. of Parks and Recreation and the HLSCA to review more
improvements planned for the Park. The revised plan calls for the picnic pavilion
relocating to the area under the large trees. In addition, a 4' high black chain link
fence will run through the center of the Park from north to south near the existing
bathroom building. The area to the east by the play field will remain open - no fencing.
Finally, the bollards will be removed along the edges of the park. These changes were made
possible by additional funds from the County secured by Commissioner Suzanne Gunzburger.
This work is now out to bid by the City's Design and Construction Dept. Currently, the
playground is closed for work. There is a construction fence around this area temporarily.

FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICE
Did You Know?
Proper Placement of Commingled Waste
By Eddy Hill, Jr., Neighborhood Code Enforcement Officer
Beware of Bees!
Code Compliance has responded to a number of calls involving bee
infestations. Some of the bees have turned out to be the Africanized variety.
Unfortunately, you cannot tell the difference between an Africanized honey bee and
a European honey bee simply by looking at it because the two types appear identical. Bees
protect their hive from predators, including humans, by stinging once. Africanized
bees respond quickly to disturbances by people and animals who venture within fifty feet
of their hive. They sting in larger numbers and have been known to chase an enemy a
quarter of a mile or more. This means it is unlikely you will be able to outrun a
swarm of Africanized bees.
If you do encounter bees, retreat from the area as quickly and quietly
as possible. If you are being chased, protect your face and eyes. Run away in a
straight line to the nearest shelter. A car with closed doors, a house or a building
would be good choices. I am a cave diver and can hold my breath a long time, so my
previous plan for outsmarting bees was to jump into the nearest pool. However,
experts advise against this. Africanized bees are extremely persistent and will wait
and sting you every time you surface to breathe. You could be stung repeatedly and
trapped in the water for a very long time. Despite the potential hazard posed by
Africanized bees, honey bees are vital for the pollination of plants that provide food for
both humans and animals. Residents who find a beehive on their property are advised
to contact a beekeeper for proper disposal of the bees. You can contact Code
Compliance at 954.921.3061 for additional information about beekeepers.
Blowing Leaves in the
Street
The City of Hollywood Code 50.04 (d) 3 States "It
Shall Be Unlawful For Any Person To Cause Yard Waste To Be Deposited Onto The Streets or
Into Storm Drains".
Homeowners are good about following this rule, but many
times lawn service companies do not comply. These leaves are washed into the storm drains
which cause flooding around the drain. The law also requires lawn service companies to
take with them the limbs and branches that they cut from the homeowners property.
They are in Violation if they leave the branches on the homeowners property or on
their swale.
Swimming Pool Maintenance
City
codes require swimming pools be properly maintained by the property owner. Pools should be
kept free of insects, algae and debris. The proper balance of chemicals should be added to
keep the water clean and clear. Additionally, the filtration system should be run
regularly to maintain the pool in a sanitary condition.
When a
pool is not being properly maintained by the property owner, it becomes a breeding ground
for mosquitoes and can turn into a public health hazard. The City has traditionally hired
contractors to add chemicals to the water at the expense of the property owner.
Unfortunately, this is only a temporary measure, and it frequently does not resolve the
problem if the filtration system is not working properly. This is especially a problem
when the property is vacant.
Due to an
increase in the number of improperly maintained pools, the Office of Code Enforcement is
exploring innovative ways to address this problem. One option under consideration is to
have a contractor drain the water from the pool and remove the drain to prevent rain water
from stagnating. I will keep you posted as we finalize options to deal with problem pools.
Please feel free to contact me at
954.921.3061 extension 8224 should you need assistance with any code matter. My regular
office hours are 7:00-7:30 a.m. and 3:00-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
You can
also e-mail me at ehill@hollywoodfl.org
. I generally arrive at the HLSCA monthly meeting early to take questions.

COMMINGLED
PICKUP SCHEDULE FOR 2010
Changes have been made to the Hard Junk and Brush pickup process.
The City of Hollywood's sanitation contractor, Waste Pro, will conduct hard junk pickups
throughout the neighborhood along with brush pickups at the same time once each month.
They will pick up a maximum of four (4) cubic yards (for example: a washer and dryer is
about two cubic yards in volume) of commingled material per pick up. Pick ups will be made
once each month from the alley behind your home. If you do not have an alley, then you may
place your commingled brush in front of your house the weekend before the regular pick up
schedule. For more details, contact the Environmental Services Division at 954-967-4200.

ATTENTION DOG
OWNERS
The City of Hollywood ordinance # 92.24 clearly states that dog
owners are required to remove all fecal matter by placing such matter in a bag, wrapper,
closed or sealed container and disposing of it in a trash receptacle or other sanitary
container. In addition, all dogs must be on a leash, cord or chain. It is against the law
for a dog to run loose in Hollywood. Be a good neighbor and obey these local laws. If you
don't, you may be fined! Fines are $25.00 first violation, $50.00 second violation and
$100.00 for each additional violation within one year. For further information, contact
