No guests or renters checked in - that is my girl friend and her daughter - they are here working - why do you persist in making up problems that are not slanderous and totally inaccurate - please identify yourself so that I can notify my attorney - this has got to stop - your agenda seems to me to be both harassment & criminal - Please Stop immediately.

Mr. Johnson - please send me copies of the photos so that I can send them to my attorney and if possible - please send me that name of the sender - Thanks - I am in total compliance with the current code and I want these people to stop making false charges - they should be made to pay or be fined for their inaccurate complaints that are costing you and others time and trouble.

I'd like to know what happens when the city verifies that the anonymous charges filed are false, inaccurate, and unsubstantiated? Does the city take action against the person lodging the complaint for filing a false report? Does the city impose a fine or issue a citation to the complainer? Otherwise - what is done to stop the harassment of someone like me.

Mr Banes tenants are trying to hide by parking in the garage to avoid code officer detection. Please code enforcement. The tenants checked in on June 3,2016 and photos below are from 1:47 on June 3

3364 coquina key drive. Mr . Banes has rented his home illegally again to a party group. Please enforce the law.

Why are my comments not being published - I am the victim of false accusations

As it turns out - the report filed on me was false - I had a graduation party for my girlfriends friend's daughter during the day - no guests spent the night - there was no excessive noise nor any trash or debris - I am allowed to have non-paying guests spend the night and I do have a lot of friends & colleagues who want to come visit Florida. I would greatly appreciate if you would stop harassing me.

These are friends of mine visiting me today - will you stop - they are visiting not renting - I don't need to hide anything - what are you trying to do - does someone visiting me cause you some type of problem? Please identify yourself so I can get my attorney involved.

Also, your picture is accurate but your date is wrong - my friends didn't arrive until Jun 4 - once again - you're disseminating inaccurate information.

Since you're so determined to make an issue out of anybody visiting me - I think it’s time for me to open up my home to anyone who wants a place to stay - you might be surprised at who'll I'll invite. Just remember to tell our neighbors that you’re the one who asked for it.

I don't understand what your beef is with me - Have I done something to harm you in some way? You hide behind anonymity just like a terrorist would. Most honorable people would identify themselves when making allegations. I understand that you’re doing this for some unknown reason even though you have yet to cite what people visiting me are doing to you that is causing you this big problem. Are you jealous or envious? Are you trying to make everyone afraid of you? I'm not - I am asking you to stop - otherwise I will endeavor to find your identity and I promise to engage you in legal action.
In my opinion, what your doing is harassment and to some lesser extent slander and liable. Are you the one who told police that I was using my home as a brothel, to run drug trafficking, child trafficking and prostitution? These are some of the egregious lies that have been said about me. I hope the community provides their inputs as you need to either move or state what problems the people visiting me are causing you.

Yes - I do have guest visiting - I'm holding the graduation ceremony at my home. No one is making excessive noise - so what is your problem?

How come a complainer can post almost immediately and my responses are delayed by hours?

Why aren't my comments being posted timely?

June14,, 2016 Mr. Banes at 3364 coquina key drive had a new group of tenants check in. See photos of tenants car and commercial bus parked in driveway and tenants in back yard. The codes enforcement officers need to bring Mr Banes back to court MOV . The short term rental to transit persons is not allowed on coquina key and the parking of a commercial bus in the residential driveway is also a violation. In addition Mr Banes is living in his RV mobile home which is parked on the side of his home. Coquina key is zoned for single family residents, which can be rented long term. Coquina key is not zoned for Mobile Homes. See photos

I posted comments at 9:00 pm last night that still haven't been added - what is the normal time for processing and updating the comments log?

Jun 16 - Posted at 9:00 PM - The van that was parked in my driveway is NOT a commercial van. It belongs to a local private academy. The guests were all teachers from the academy who were here for a schedule planning conference. I donated the use of my home for their 2 day stay. It's nice to be able to contribute to the community. I wish Ms. McGlawn would not jump to erroneous conclusions every time there is a vehicle in my driveway that she doesn't recognize. I believe that I and my guests are entitled to "Quiet Enjoyment" and not subject to being singled out for ridicule or false accusations by one unhappy neighbor. Please stop harassing me - Thanks

This harassment needs to stop. I can't imagine why someone would do this to their own neighbor. I've never noticed a disturbance or issue with this property. If a person has guests over that is their own business. Mr Banes, I hope you and your attorney are able to put a stop to these accusations. It seems like these posts, pictures included, are an invasion of your privacy and qualify as harassment. It baffles me as to how someone thinks it is okay to post pictures of another person and their property without permission while they wrongfully accuse them of things instead of minding their own business.
