Description
757 Gantt av. Sarasota,34232.
There has already been a NOTICE OF VIOLATION previously issued within the last couple of years, at this OFFSTREET PARKING LOT, for this PROHIBITED vehicle storage. This violation is in need of revisiting the Special Magistrate for repeating the same offense within (5) years.
County Administrator, Planning and Develop. Director, you think you can handle that ?
Your both allowing the associated Cnty. employees corruption to continue. Disrespecting the Gantt av. residents...
We are being _ _ _ t on.
The photos do not lie...
The Offstreet Parking lot, County codes prohibit storage.
Not a duplicate complaint. When violations are reoccurring, every day...

Absolutely, NO RESPECT by the 757 Gantt av. occupants OR the Property owners.
Nor from the County Administrator and the employees allowing this prohibited storage.

Whoever the code enforcement officer is that responded to this complaint. I'm requesting to meet wwith you on Gantt av., in front of this CONSTANT problem property. That your protecting...You've got some explaining to do.
Sandra Le Gay, you have my phone number and my e-mail address. As a Sarasota County citizen participating in my community. And I'm being lied to. I can only expect a phone call from you.

And don't forget about the 25-foot set back along the Eastern portion of this properties Southern Boundary, that's being violated again with vehicle(s) stored within.

County, read the storage code. The code language applies.
That's why I'm requesting for you to meet me on Gantt. I want to stand next to you and hear you tell me and some other citizens, that there's no code violations.
And what about the photographs that you took of the 757 Gantt av. Dead Hedge ?
Which is also one of the issued notice of violation Counts. That's required to be met, according to the special Magistrate's hearing Conclusionof Law.
And let me remind all of you to look up the definition for: what a hedge is ?
It's when plants are growing together touching one another, continuously. NOT two plants, six feet apart, hoping to grow together.
This property's 130 ft. frontage/ right-of-way. Requires a continuous hedge, minus the Ingress and egress entrance. And the five ft. setback, on each the side of the driveway.
It's too bad that not a single Sarasota County government employee addressing the (2) Gantt av. properties long list of reoccurring violations. Can behave like the gal for Manatee County Code Enforcement, Tanya Shaw. Who stood up to her Manatee County Government superiors. That were attempting to cover-up many code violation issues too !
For one of Sarasota County's higher-ups...
The CHEIF BUILDING OFFICIAL. That has recently resigned.
The Gantt residents need a meeting on Gantt.

Sarasota County's, County Administrator, P&D Services and the Code Enforcement division is infected with a group of liars.
The off-street parking lot violations are still there at 3 in the afternoon, since you've closed the complaint again. Also, Where: you've stated that there are no violations or the problems have been corrected. You have absolutely lied through your teeth Charles M., the vehicles in the photos within this complaint. They're still stored in the prohibited off st.prk. lot and the rear storage yard fence line has absolutely no screening and the gate is open all day long when code requires it to remain closed and is to have a screen on it to prevent any and all storage from being seen from the rights of way.
Sandra LeGay/CE Manager, I've left you two voicemails, and I've also address you in the seeclickfix complaints. Where : I am requesting an on-site meeting with you and the code enforcement officer Charles M., that's lying and falsifying public records. Of which, is a third degree felony if convicted.
Protocol calls for photographs to be provided by the code enforcement officer showing compliance. And those photos don't exist in the public records.
DON'T FORGET the dumpster violation.
It's location is also a violation. When stored in the prohibited Street yard.

Constant/More evidence shows the lack of required code(s) enforcement by Cnty. employees:
Dan Smith, CE supervisor.
Charles Marchione, CE supervisor.
Sandra LeGay, CE manager.
All are involved and as a result. They're violating Sarasota County's Standard of Ethics code, but not limited to. For more than (4) years now...

7.1.6. & 124-120., the highlighted & underlined code section (8) prohibits all storage of any type OR kind OR any other business activity.
I recommend each of you (Cnty. employees listed) do as Kathy Croteau did, this past May,2021.

Here's the OFFSTREET PARKING LOT, yesterday Saturday, 09-25-2021.
It's very apparent, the 757 Gantt property's continued illegal use of land is a nuisance to the abutting residential community.

Each of you Cnty. employees have shown here on Gantt av. that your refusing to provide honest and committed public service for us Gantt av. residents.
Shame on each of you.

County, you've stated above that my request has been investigated and is now closed.
CE officer,
During your investigation visit, did you photograph the vehicles that are being stored continuously 24/7, in the off street parking lot ?
Then publicly record those reoccurring violation photographs (as required) from this investigation visit. For evidence to be presented to the Magistrate, showing the daily prohibited storage.
Especially when, each day shall be a separate offense.
Also, the rear storage yard is still not compliant. You can see all storage from the rights of way. Due to the storage yard chain link fence has no screening and if it did have screening the tenants need to be informed that the gate needs to remain closed at all times. I've already expressed this you multiple times. And you've yet to acknowledge these matters of fact.
This is one of the significant reasons I've requested to have an on-site meeting with yourself and the code officer together, so that you can confirm the storage yard violation from the right of way, due to no code required screening exists.

Code enforcement officer/Charles M.,
You have not provided any of the required to be publicly recorded photographs, showing proof that there's not any violations in the off street parking lot, from your investigation visit to the code violation complaint site / property.
I've provided conclusive evidence photos on SEECLICKFIX, many different time periods. Of which, neither yourself or any of the other county employees associated to the subject property are confirming these evidence photos. You're only concealing that evidence. Showing absolute favoritism to the property owners and their tenants. That leads me or any honest individual to only one conclusion. You are again, lying to the public. The very people that pay your salary as a public servant.
Shame on you again.
Look back at this complaint file. How many times have you closed this complaint ? without supporting photographs, that there's not a violation in the off-street parking lot...
County administrator, you have an administration staff that is corrupt to the Core. I've proven this beyond any reasonable doubt and you have refused to communicate as well with this citizen. Let this record reflect again my efforts to be a participant in this community and the current administration is lying through their teeth and showing favoritism and allowing corruption and fraud constantly at two properties on, and likely not limited to.
Jonathan Lewis, ??? What are you going to do ?

Where's Code enforcement ?
You made only a lousy comment on 10/11/20211. Now, another (12) days have gone by and the Off Street parking lot at: 757 Gantt av. . It's still being used for a storage lot.
Sandra LeGay (CE Manager), you and your staff have completely failed and denied enforcement of the Off-street parking lot mandatory codes, that have been reported to you.
Who is responsible for stating ? :
Thank you for submitting your concern. On, (10-11-2021) here on SEECLICKFIX.
The off-street parking lot remains full of prohibited and constant storage by tenants. Tenant's vehicles are being stored, full-time. The Off-street parking lot codes have been adopted since 1975 and are not being enforced.
County employees, you're completely denying public service. And in doing so, you're violating Sarasota County's, standards of ethical conduct code too... Each of you are abusing your County positions, by not enforcing the Off-street Parking Lot mandatory codes. That's refusing to perform Sarasota County's SOP- Standard Operating Procedures.
Not good...

And so does the tenants lack of respect for the residential homeowners/neighbors.

Here's that code : 124-120 APPLICABILITY section (08) , again...
REQUIRED OFFSTREET PARKING SHALL (mandatory, if enforced/respectful) NOT BE USED FOR SALES, DISPLAY, STORAGE, REPAIR, DISMANTLING OR SERVICING OF ANY TYPE OR KIND OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Evidence shows the reoccurring violations and also the lack of respect towards the residential homeowners rights.

And now, (02) photo's from a video of the 757 Gantt av. street yard. Where the tenants have been warned by CE then written-up for prohibited use of the street yard for parking. The tenant in the photo removes and discards one of the three NO PARKING signs planted in that street yard, after the Cnty. warned tenants of the mandatory CODE PROHIBITED USE.
Also, the tenants are allowing " again " the constant/reoccurring and PROHIBITED parking in the street yard everyday.

The 124-122 code. Is what the abutting residents are requesting.
Anyone can see that the 757 Gantt av. warehouse complex has an inadequate allowable storage yard for the current tenants needs.

Which is it ???
A) no violation.
OR
B) resolved.

Also remember, public service is public trust.
