Subject: Inaccurate survey to assist the Sheropa housing development.
5/28/2019
Mr. LeFever,
There seems to be a misunderstanding. I prepared a list of written
questions for surveyor John Campbell (not City records) because I was
unable to attend in person due to improper notification of the meeting.
With the exception of question 17, Mr. Campbell should have had all that
information with him at that meeting. I do not understand your $52.30
request for public records.Two weeks have passed and not a single
question has been answered. Mr. Dickey was aware some homeowners would
not be able to attend the May 15 meeting because of short notice.
However he was unwilling to accommodate all homeowner's schedules
because it would inconvenience the Sheropa housing developer. Can you
please reschedule this meeting so all homeowners can attend?
Keep in mind Question #17 is the most important.
Thank you.

My name is Bernie Lennon 126 Oak Lane Cape Canaveral, FL. I was given
insufficient notice to this May 15, 2019 meeting. So I have prepared a
list of questions as follows.
All the questions refer to the survey prepared by John Campbell on
2/25/2019 mailed to me by David Dickey on 5/2/2019. Mr. Campbell’s
survey is a copy of the survey submitted to the City by Terri Bowman on
11/15/2016 prepared by Geodata Consultants, Inc. Terri Bowman’s survey
appears accurate in every way. Terri’s survey also matches the survey I
submitted to the city and it matches the Right-of-Way markers installed
by the City of Cape Canaveral.
However, Campbell’s survey has some differences leading to
inaccuracies.
1. Can I have access to the working documents and City comments
added 4/10/19?
2. Can I have access to survey sheets 1 and 3 of the above
mentioned survey?
3. Why has this expedited survey taken over 8 month to complete?
4. Why does the survey depict Oak Lane as dirt and gravel when the
entire length of Oak Lane is approximately 4 to 6 inches thick asphalt?
Keep in mind the Sheropa housing development has created drainage
problems that have silted parts of the road.
5. Why does the survey depict parcel A.17 as being 11.61 feet
further east from what the Deed recorded in ORB 206 PG 577 describes as
it is labeled on the Campbell survey?
6. Why does the survey depict parcel A.09 as being 11.61 feet
further east from what is described in Deed Book 745 page 459 as labeled
on the Campbell survey?
7. Why has the west line of Circle K been moved 11.61 feet east
from what is described in Deed Book 762 pg 200? Keep in mind this change
will make Circle K in violation of City code and considerably reduce the
size of parcel B.
8. Why has the 1 and 1/2 inch iron pipe that has been used to
locate the N.W. corner of Oak Lane and most of the parcels surrounding
Oak Lane been removed and a 4”X4” concrete monuments with brass disk
marked with surveyors number been installed 1.2 feet north of that
location?
9. Why have the two 4”X4” concrete monuments indicating the north
line of Oak Lane Right-of-Way been moved 1.2 feet north of what is
described in Deed ORB 319 page 126 and Deed ORB 364 pg 312 and the
unrecorded Deed prepared by Allen Engineering for the City of Cape
Canaveral on July 19 1978?
10. Why has the west end width of Oak Lane been marked as 51.2 feet
when Deed ORB 319 pg 126, and ORB 364 pg 312, both have it marked as 50
feet?
11. Why does the survey’s Legal Description have 58.55 feet when the
Deed ORB 319 page 126 and Deed ORB 364 pg 312, and the unrecorded Deed
prepared by Allen Engineering for the City of Cape Canaveral on July 19
1978, both have 62.0 feet?
12. Why does the survey’s Legal Description have 434.95 feet when
the unrecorded Deed prepared by Allen Engineering for the City of Cape
Canaveral on July 19 1978 has 425.5 feet?
13. Why does the survey’s Legal Description have 67.85 feet when the
Deed ORB 5 page 528, and the unrecorded Deed prepared by Allen
Engineering for the City of Cape Canaveral on July 19 1978, both have
66.5 feet?
14. Why has the note copied from Terri Bowman’s survey “FOUND 5/8”
IRON ROD & CAP LB 7715 SW CORNER PARCEL A.17” have the locating dot
missing?
15. Will the buyers of 127 Oak Lane be forced to also hire an
attorney when they learn their air conditioning unit is sitting on land
owned by Suzanne Turner at 123 Oak Lane?
16. Can I please have a copy of the Campbell Survey that has all of
the above corrections?
17) I have made some serious allegations against the City of Cape
Canaveral’s mishandling of this Sheropa housing development. In
response, the City Council (September 2016) approved the hiring of
independent hearing officer (Mr. D Andrew Smith) to conduct an
evidentiary hearing in order to prepare a report to establish “findings
of fact and conclusions of law.”
Is it appropriate for the City to continue assisting the Sheropa
developer before this report is complete?
Please allow me a minimum of 14 days to inspect the written answers to
these questions before issuing a certificate of occupancy to 127 Oak
Lane.
Thank you

David and John,
This document was given to me by Alicia Spring after the
community meeting regarding the Oak Lane Survey last Wednesday. Because
I was out of town immediately after the meeting, I was not able to send
it before today. Please review and we can discuss. Also, I believe
Alicia said that she would be providing written comments to the City.
Have we received any?
Lastly, for Mia, please note that a portion of this letter is
asking for public records – Items # 1 and 2. As for Item #16, no such
record exists and presumes corrections are required or will be made
based on his letter.
Regards,
Anthony
