Sarasota County Services PLUS

The guy who lives here is out of control and has a complete disregard for all of the neighbors in this area. His place is filthy and he has car parts everywhere. He tells everyone in the neighborhood he owns some car business and to bring him work, but nobody wants to because we live here and we don't want to hear his loud work at all hours of the night. He has so much car parts and cars all over the place it looks like a junk yard. He is filthy and trashy. He does burn outs all up and down the streets at all hours of the night. There are families here, this isn't a drag strip. Some of us have already reported him. We are too afraid to report him because he threatens the people in the neighborhood who already reported him. Nobody should be scared to live in the neighborhood but this guy makes everyone terrified.
When the county does come out, he tries to hide everything as fast as he can until he gets reinspected. Then he is back at it again. There is no way he should be allowed to run a business in this neighborhood. He lies and lies and lies about everything. If you ask him if he runs a business it depends on who is asking. If you have some muscle car he will be nice to you and talk about his business because he wants the job, but if you are the county he will say its all his own cars even though they aren't. This neighborhood has put up with this derelict for too long now and we need the counties help to put an end to this guy.

UDC 124-121 requires pedestrian paths from ALL entrances on site to building if over 20,000 sq ft. Tower built in 2017 over 25,000 sq ft listed on permit application and no pedestrian path from Honore. Honore is designated as a major arterial road, has a gate, entrance sign and is not considered an entrance for only service or delivery vehicles. Why is Benderson and SANCA allowed to exclude connectivity from Honore including boat ramp on small West lake? Is it because it does not serve their purpose for rowing? They certainly use it and close it whenever they have an event. First entrance they close. If it was not considered an entrance why close it during their events? Public was assured during rezone community meetings this entrance would have sidewalks and would remain as always an entrance. Parks and Rec director stated and is a part of documentation in rezone approval.
UDC also states pedestrian paths SHALL be provided from building entrance to surrounding streets, transit stops, external sidewalks and out parcels. There you have it. Surrounding street yes. Transit stop yes. External sidewalk yes. Out parcel yes Previous request under sidewalk issue marked resolved and closed without comment
