To: The City of Cape Canaveral, Community Development Department
Regarding Variance Request No. 16-02
Sheropa LLC Owned by Patrick T. Lee 400 Harbor Dr. Cape Canaveral, Fl.
Has constructed the following 4 homes for the purpose of resale.
127 Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920
131 Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920
135 Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920
139 Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920
All 4 homes are in violation of [Section 110-297(a)(1), City Code] to
the extent that a car cannot be parked in the driveway without extending
into Oak Lane’s Right of Way. This code requires a minimum front setback
to be 25 feet.
This violation has been determined by using the “right of way markers”
(ROW) installed by the City of Cape Canaveral on Oak Lane to define the
(ROW) limits of Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The (ROW) markers installed by the City of Cape Canaveral are in
agreement with the survey I gave to Duree Alexander (Cape Canaveral Code
Enforcement) and Michael German (Cape Canaveral Building Official) for
the purpose of defending my property from encroachment by the Sheropa
LLC. developer, prior to Sheropa LLC starting construction on 127 and
131 Oak Lane.
The (ROW) markers installed by the City of Cape Canaveral are also in
agreement with the surveying markers that the owner of 123 Oak Lane had
to pay out of pocket for the purpose of defending their property from
encroachment by the Sheropa LLC developer.
This violation has created a cascade of problems. Sheropa LLC has
removed asphalt and installed paver bricks and dug a large hole for
installing utilities in the wrong location that is extending as much as
14 feet into Oak Lane’s right of way. Because of this, the heavy volume
of two-way construction traffic of large trucks caused by the Sheropa
LLC development on Oak Lane has caused the trucks to veer towards my
property and brush the low hanging power lines. I assume the rubber
tires protect the drivers from electrocution. The large hole continues
to remain open and unprotected for more than 6 months.
On February 23, 2016 I received an e-mail from David Dickey (Community
Development Director of Cape Canaveral) that stated “Please note that a
Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until this issue is
resolved,” and again on March 16 2016 “In my email to you on February
23rd, I explained the situation and assured you that a Certificate of
Occupancy would not be issued until this issue was resolved.” “You ask
whether you will be informed of the outcome of this survey dispute and
have a chance to have input or appeal. The affected parties will be
notified of the results of the review.” All of my attempts to resolve
this issue have been ignored by David Dickey, and on 5/16/2016 he
covertly issued a Certificate of Occupancy to 131 Oak Lane without
informing me or informing the new owners of the violations. All 4 homes
also have issues with elevation that can potentially cause problems with
flooding and sewage backing up into their homes.
By allowing these homes to be built into the right of way, the city is
inferring that the right of way has been moved, thus changing my
property lines, in effect stealing my property without notice or a
hearing. Just because Patrick T. Lee is a former Mayor of Cape Canaveral
does not give him the authority to confiscate a large portion of my
property for his own financial gain or create safety hazards for the
citizens of Cape Canaveral.
I have accumulated 2 years’ worth of communications involving this
matter that are available upon request.

Mr. Dickey
Can you assure I will be notified of the outcome to violation of
[Section 110-297(a)(1), City Code] involving all 4 homes constructed by
Patrick T. Lee prior to issuing a Certificate of Occupancy to 127 Oak
Lane? Am I correct in assuming that violation will need to be resolved
before a Certificate of Occupancy?

Mr. Dickey
You are free to stop by and inspect the (Right Of Way) markers
installed by the City of Cape Canaveral prior to Patrick T. Lee starting
any development on Oak Lane. If you can’t find them stop by my house and
I will show them to you.
