Garganese Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 10:30 AM To: 'Douglas W. Ackerman' <dwa@kirwinnorris.com <mailto:dwa@kirwinnorris.com> > Cc: 'terrilynbowman@yahoo.com' <terrilynbowman@yahoo.com <mailto:terrilynbowman@yahoo.com> > Subject: RE: Oak Lane Variance Request 11/22/16 Importance: High Mr. Ackerman, You indicated in your email that there could be “resolutions” to this situation. As such, the City’s Community Development Director has attempted on several occasions to contact Ms. Bowman’s surveyor, Geodata Consultants, to arrange a technical meeting to review and discuss the submitted surveyor with the City’s engineer and the developer’s surveyor. To date, he has not received the courtesy of a return phone call. I’m writing to determine whether your client will permit this meeting to occur or not. Or, if you prefer, you and I can attend this meeting as well. I would very much appreciate the courtesy of a reply. Thank you. Regards, Anthony A. Garganese City Attorney of Cape Canaveral Garganese, Weiss & D'Agresta, P.A. Anthony A. Garganese, Shareholder Board Certified in City, County & Local Government Law 111 N.

Even though she is an entirely innocent purchaser, Ms. Bowman has done what those who are truly responsible should have done: She has had the entirety of Oak Lane surveyed together with the adjacent lots by a licensed professional surveyor and mapper. Attached please find the results. We will be presenting the signed and sealed copies at the hearing on lot A25’s application for a variance on Tuesday night, November 22, 2016. The following is readily apparent from the survey: 1. The application for variance cannot be granted for numerous reasons among which are (1) the house is grossly in violation of the front setback of 25 feet, and (2) the house is actually on the side property line and grossly in violation of the side setback. Please be advised that whatever surveys have been provided to the City to show a “slanted” side setback in an attempt to get the variance are not based on any instruments recorded in the public records of Brevard County. They should therefore be ignored. 2. The house on lot A25 should never receive a Certificate of Occupancy as it is in flagrant violation of the City’s code of ordinances. 3. We believe that there could be resolutions to the issues with respect to Lot 25, but they must be undertaken in a proper and legal (recorded) way that also resolves similar issues for the remaining lots on Oak Lane. 4. We will be pursuing all legal avenues to protect my client’s rights. 5. Please note that we will require adequate time at Tuesday’s hearing to present these issues to the Board, consistent with Due Process. Thank you for your consideration. Douglas W.
