is this really that big a deal? no one complains about "buy junk car" signs everywhere, or the "Cash for your house" signs, or the missing animal signs, but a man promoting his business - gee, we must get rid of that... what if a child sees it.

In fact we complain about the junk car guy daily and the we buy houses guy and all the other guys who put up these signs. You should try to imagine what Lakewood would look like if we allowed this stuff to proliferate. There is a good reason for the snipe sign law. The junk car guy has been fined thousands of dollars and has even done time in jail ... And if it's illegal to run a business out of your house in this city, then it doesn't matter what the business is. The law cannot be applied selectively. Finally, Mr. Ross has been cited for this three times, so he knows better.

Yes they do and it is a big deal. It brings blight and traffic to neighborhoods. Get a commercial business in a commercial district like everyone else who follows the law.....

According to the Property Appraiser:

ROSS, FRANK
2334 GRANADA CIR W
ST PETERSBURG FL 33712-3924

Codes has been to this house many times - cannot understand why you don't recognize the address.

First of all its not illegal to run a business out of youre home as long as you follow the rules. A computer repair business falls perfectly into those contraints.

Second if everyone in lakewood is so bent out of shape over the other snipe signs why isnt it reflected on here. Isnt that exactly what this is for?

If he's been fined before than thats just sad. Maybe someone should remind him there are legal ways to but a business sign on your house.

I stand corrected. It is in fact only the sign that is illegal here, not the business. Unfortunately there are other circumstances regarding this gentleman and his home that cannot be set forth in this public forum. If you wish to contact someone on the board of the Lakewood Estates civic association, I direct you to the website where you will find that contact information. Www.lakewoodstpete.com.

If you think his being reported to codes in the past is sad, you don't know the half of it. As is often the case with repeat offenders, there's a whole lot more going on than is being reported here.
