Public comment ADU and Orangewood Drive traffic
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Here. Okay, now is the time for public comment. Citizens are given an opportunity to comment. Wait, uh on any current or future agenda item coming before the board and on other business under the bird board's purview. Today's public comment will be handled as follows. First, we will take public comment from those who are here in person. Then we will take public comment from those who have pre-registered for a WebEx Link and are currently on Cube. We request that when you address
the board, comments are not directed personally against the Commissioner or a team member, but rather directed at the issues. This provides mutual respect between board members and the public. After stating your name and address for the clerk, a three-minute timer will be activated. After two minutes, a single beep will s beep will indicate you have one minute left, and when your time is up, Two beeps will sound and you should close your comments. WebEx participants will be disconnected automatically when their time is up.
Do we have any people signed up for public comment this morning?
Yes, we do. We have two. Uh but first Mr. Galvin, Scott Galvin, you're signed up for a item P thirty six which is actually this afternoon. Do you wish to speak at this time?
Yes.
Come forward please.
They'll send it those senator. Just give your name address for the record.
My name is Scott Galvin. I currently live at [address removed]. I'm here to ask today on the ADU laws considering by the commission. Um item uh two F. ADU must be built on a permanent fixed foundation, Ford putters, stem walls, forward piers or engineered slabs. We currently live in an area that's uh zoned for mobile homes, and what I'm asking for
is clarification on whether mobile homes in the where they're already allowed by zoning to be included in the ADUs. Um As his language shows that you know as you know the mobile homes are not on a permanent fixed foundation. They are placed on blocks anchored down as required by code on there. So I would ask that this be included in the code for AD hearing.
Yes. That's a public hearing item this afternoon? Yes,
he knew that.
Okay. And you can I mean it's legislative so you can take the comment now and incorporate it into your record if you wish.
We can have someone meet you outside uh doors this morning, but we don't engage in uh
conversation
and dialogue at this
time. Thank you.
Um can someone uh here he comes. Okay. Who do we who else can we?
Charlotte Paxman.
Hi. Um my name is Charlotte Pian Salcedo. I'm a homeowner at [address removed], which is a little outside the Dade City limits. And um ever since um I bought my home in April of twenty twenty four, um there has been nothing but um bombarding of traffic on Orangewood Drive and I also came to
clarify The record of Orangewood Drive because the County Appraisals Office and Publix Works have told me that the west portion of my property is private. And I have been being harassed by code enforcement and law enforcement stating that it is county property when the records don't reflect. And also there is a Business zoned and a residential neighborhood, and the business
has exceeded the capacity. For that road. The road is completely torn up and um there's been several accidents. It's very dangerous, and I'm bringing this to the attention of the county commissioners because I fear that someone's going to be killed because of all of the traffic and all of the congestion and nothing's being done about it. I have emailed um Ron Oakley. I have emailed um the director. Of code enforcement, I have emailed um several uh police officials
and even filed an internal affairs complaint because I have I have made numerous documentation of the dangers and and photographic evidence and police reports of the dangers of the traffic on that small road. There's a lot of elderly people who live there, which is why I moved there because I wanted to live in a quiet Mm-hmm. um condensed neighborhood and because that business has exceeded the capacity for a residential zone, I was requesting that it would be rezoned, but I was told that I was not allowed
to request that and would like further um um opportunity to request to have that um business rezoned out of the residential area because of the dangers to um the community.
Um Yeah, you still have admitted, but Mr Carbala, is there someone here who could I I could say probably David Allen. Okay, David But David, did you meet with the other gentleman? No, they had some. Someone else went outside? Terry went out. Oh Terry went out. Okay. Okay, if you could meet with our assistant county administrator, D David Allen over here. And our new code enforcement officer, Denise. Head of code enforcement. More than code enforcement was okay, is there anyone online that wishes to speak?
We have no one online and that is all we have signed up in advance. Is there anyone else that wishes to speak under public comment?
Comparing to be done.
