The City acknowledges your Public Records Request of 3/4/2017 re: oil /

The statutory obligation of the custodian of public records is to
provide access to, or copies of, public records “at any reasonable time,
under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of
the public records” provided that the required fees are paid. Section
119.07(1)(a) and (4), F.S. As previously advised, the Florida Public
Records Act does not require a custodian of records to give out
information from public records maintained by the City or to answer
questions when requested by a person in person or in writing except to
the extent of allowing personal inspection or copying of public records.
Therefore, to the extent that any of the Requests that the City give out

In that light, the City anticipates providing public records regarding
this PRR that may have been created related City business in a timely
manner.
Thank you.

Subject: oil / chemical dumping at 126 Oak Lane by Sheropa housing
development
3/6/2017
To: Mayor Hoog City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
On 2/14/2016 I made a complaint to Michael German “Building Department
Official” about the Sheropa housing development dumping oil/chemicals
onto my property at 126 Oak Lane. Then again to David Dickey “Community
Development Director” on 2/25/2016. I then informed you on 3/17/2016 of
Sheropa housing development dumping oil/chemicals onto my property at
126 Oak Lane.
Pursuant to Article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and
chapter 119, F.S., I am requesting an opportunity to inspect the public
records to include all actions and the current disposition of Sheropa
housing development dumping oil/chemicals onto my property at 126 Oak
Lane.
Should you deny my request, or any part of the request, please state in
writing the basis for the denial, including the exact statutory citation
authorizing the denial as required by s. 119.07(1) (d), F.S.
If this request will take longer than 7 days (3/13/2017) please explain
why and the expected date.
I will send a copy of this letter to all City employees, elected
officials, and the residents of Oak Lane.
A copy of this letter and “City Clerk” Mia Goforth’s 2/21/2017 letter
refusing to accept a complaint against David Dicky will be sent

impact fees⬸ሩA few months go by a⭤ሩ surveying markers w⮐ሩe placed in an
odd ⮼ሩace on Oak Lane. A f⯨ሩ weeks later HarrackⰔሩrucking and Clearingⱀሩarrived and threw 5 ⱬሩr tires onto my propⲘሩty. I threw the tireⳄሩback
to Sheropa pro⳰ሩrty. This was followⴜሩ by more debris and ⵈሩavy
equipment repaiሩ being performed on ⶠሩ property. This lastⷌሩ for weeks
and creaⷸሩd a big mess on my p⸤ሩperty so I brought I⹐ሩto the attention
ofሩonald Abeles. His an⺨ሩy response was he co⻔ሩd not be their 24 ho⼀ሩs
a day to watch ov⼬ሩ the subcontractors.⽘ሩfter a few weeks of ⾄ሩinging
this to the ⾰ሩtention of everyone ሩvolved within the Sh〈ሩopa LLC
development〴ሩI turned to Duree Alだሩander, Code Enforcemれሩt Officer for
the Cジሩy of Cape Canaveral,ヤሩor help. Duree Alexaㄐሩer could not say
enㄼሩgh good things aboutㅨሩonald Abeles. I expl㆔ሩned to her my experi㇀ሩce
was not the sameሩnd I had exhausted a㈘ሩ attempts to resolve㉄ሩhis issue
with Sher㉰ሩa LLC. She insisted ㊜ሩ having Ronald Abele㋈ሩcontact me to
resol㋴ሩ this. That night wh㌠ሩe my family and I wa㍌ሩed to the beach afte㍸ሩ
dinner, Ronald Abel㎤ሩ tracked us down in ㏐ሩs car and started sc㏼ሩaming
“you do not g㐨ሩto City Hall, you co㑔ሩ to me, now repeat a㒀ሩer me, you do
not g㒬ሩto City Hall you com㓘ሩto me.” He yelled th㔄ሩ 2 or 3 more times
㔰ሩd drove off. The nex㕜ሩday I told Duree Ale㖈ሩnder this story and 㖴ሩce
again she could 㗠ሩt say enough good th㘌ሩgs about Ronald Abel㘸ሩ and that
was the e㙤ሩ of it. After the fi㚐ሩt heavy equipment re㚼ሩir job, broken
part㛨ሩwere tossed onto my 㜔ሩoperty and a very st㝀ሩng chemical smell
l㝬ሩgered in the entire 㞘ሩea for weeks. I went㟄ሩack to code enforcem㟰ሩt
with this new inf㠜ሩmation. Duree Alexan㡈ሩr said she would tak㡴ሩcare of
it but she 㢠ሩd nothing. Now anoth㣌ሩ piece of heavy equi㣸ሩent broke down
for 㤤ሩfew weeks with the e㥐ሩct same results. Onc㥼ሩagain a strong
chem㦨ሩal smell. After anot㧔ሩr visit with Duree e㨀ሩlaining this second
㨬ሩncident, she assured㩘ሩe she would take car㪄ሩof it. To this date 㪰ሩree
