Want to discuss the buses Baugher is parking in front of his building, any progress that’s being made on Caroline about the dumpsters and parking area that is the main entrance way to Cape View, and the Cumberland Farms project in general. Hope all is well. Thanks, Buzz From: John Porter [mailto:johnp@porterworldtrade.com] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 1:48 PM To: Buzz Petsos Subject: Lawn Mowing Importance: High Buzz, I was just told by a concerned citizen that Bob Baugher has told the city he is “mowing” his property in Cape Canaveral behind the new proposed gas station and dollar store.( Not exactly what I had in mind for good neighbors and or good development for our city. J ) Today at 12 Noon, I witnessed heavy equipment destroying the understory, once again, with a hedgehog piece of equipment attached to a skid steer. Todd was purported to say that Bob called him to let him know he was “mowing” his property. This on top of the fact that he brush hogged the original understory a while back without a permit and without any negative consequence. Do you remember when I cleared pepper trees and small pathways without a permit? I was fined $40,000.00 and had to ask the council’s waver of this penalty. Which I appreciated and was sorry to have made a misstep. I do not like to waste my time pointing out the injustices of the past or present, but I find the cities continued favoritism and acquiescence shameful, if not illegal. As my elected official, I am letting you know that Turkey Vultures use/used the area cleared today, as a roost and are a protected species. Last time they cleared they started to roost on my property and had recently returned to the same roost on Bob’s property. I am copying a few other people on this just to make sure that I have a record of me noticing you (the city) on what may turn out to be a very serious environmental infraction or crime. Not sure how the Federal law prosecutes these issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_vulture John Florida has a very broad public records law.
