Honorable Mayor Hoog and Council Members of the City of Cape
Canaveral.
A final decision was made by the City Council on 10/2/2018 that required
the Sheropa housing deve!oper, Patrick Lee, to remove the eastern portion
of the house at 127 Oak Lane to fit within an arbitrary 4 foot variance. This
decision can only be overruled by the Brevard Circuit Court. Mr. Lee and
his contractor, John Dinsmore, agreed to this requirement.
In April 2019, construction resumed at 127 Oak Lane without relocating
the eastern wall or providing special drainage solutions for problems
identified by the City engineer that required protective easement lot
restriction to ensure a drainage system will always be in place. 131 Oak
Lane is in violation of this easement by installing a swimming pool. Please
look at my front yard (126 Oak Lane) to see all of the silting caused by
ignoring this requirement.
To make matters worse, the air conditioning compressor was installed on
the eastern side of the of the home at 127 Oak Lane in violation of SEC
110-538 (10) and making it impossible to deal with the drainage problems.
Keep in mind the air conditioner could have been located on the south or
west side to avoid taking more property from 123 Oak Lane.
Mayor Hoog has insisted an accurate survey is not required for the
Sheropa housing development, allowing -127 Oak Lane to be built directly
on the property line with 123 Oak Lane. T'1is has resulted in an air
conditioning compressor being installed on property deeded to 123 Oak
Lane and to be used to cool 127 Oak Lane.
At the 10/2/2018 hearing, David Dickey recommended approval of the
variance because he didn't want Patrick Lee to be deprived of rights
enjoyed by others.
Pursuant to Article 1 , section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and chapter
119, F.S., I am requesting the City Clerk give me an opportunity to inspect
the public records for the following:
1) Anyone else in the City of Cape Canaveral who enjoys the rights
afforded Patrick Lee (construction on a neighboring property).
2) Permit for installing-the air conditioning condenser at 127 Oak Lane.
This should include final inspection, variance for Sec. 110-538 (10) and
the mailing list.
3) All documents involving the drainage problems with the Sheropa
housing development.
4) All documents auth~rizing FPL to install a permanent power meter at
127 Oak Lane prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued.
Please provide this information to the independent hearing officer who is
looking into my other complaints involving the Sheropa housing
development.
