Dead debris fire hazard been here for weeks.

There are multiple address along Avenida de Mayo, Avenida del Norte, and others, that continue to place trash out for pickup between Saturday and Tuesday when pickup is not until Wednesday and the policy states to place out after 5 or 6pm the evening prior to pickup day. Please enforce this and/or send out a community wide reminder. These are not all vacation properties, but local residents as well. Many of these and other properties also do not bring in the bins for days, which also has a guideline of I think 10am the day after pickup.
It's to the point it's so regular there are too many addresses to list, but the streets mentioned are not that long so it will be easy to identify. We should be able to have a nice looking neighborhood the majority of the week.

My wife and I have lived here for 31 years. We raised our children on this block. It has been a nice residential neighborhood until now. The house next door sold yesterday and today has been nothing but many "rental property" vehicles racing up and down the block apparently in a hurry to prepare the house for short term rental. Of the 8 homes on our block, 3, as far as I know, are now available for short term rental. What is Sarasota County doing to protect me and my wife, along with remaining homesteaders on my street, from this horrible blight? The address in question is 1245 Big Oak Lane, Sarasota, Fl 34242

Illegal signs Whispering Sands has placed on property that according to the County Appraiser's sight, isn't even on their property.
