Gulf Harbors golf cart ticketing

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.

Kathryn Starkey

and we're not the only community that's having this problem, but in Gulf Harbors, did you get a map from Kate my my aide Katie Dolotowski on the entrance to Gulf Harbors?

Okay. If you could just go to Google Earth and um Nineteen and floor mark. We have this weird situation where the road is Ben Cat he's not here. Um the floor uh floor mark is a county road. And then you have that um construction office on the corner. That that little piece of that Road, I don't even know if it has a name, it's

in front of it, is county, and then it comes to the city property and there's Widow Fletcher's. So the the sheriff is ticketing our golf cart residents because of that little strip Between Floor Mar and the rest restaurant. And it's a side road. It's not even a

Jack MarianoChair

Yeah it's a frontage road.

Kathryn Starkey

It's a frontage road. And they're all getting ticketed. Can you please put up Google alert? And floor mark. And And I I'm just uh I just can't believe that that there's better things to do. Yeah. And if need be I would say let's vacate that road and give to the county. I mean give it to the city. Well just because that it's consent

Jack MarianoChair

just let Vencat make it a golf cart accessible.

Kathryn Starkey

Well I don't know why d we've had this discussion for years and we thought it was all taken care of and now now they're in there giving people expensive tickets. So he

Mike Carballa

can add that really easy.

Kathryn Starkey

He said it's gonna take weeks for him to find the answer and I just people are getting ticketed every day.

Mike Carballa

Okay, well I'm not aware of it. I'll follow up with Vencat

Kathryn Starkey

for the

Mike Carballa

sake of your

Kathryn Starkey

You need Google or

Mike Carballa

Floor Mar and what was the intersection?

Kathryn Starkey

It's floor mar nineteen. Okay. Well, kinda nineteen. You need to zoom in on it. I what's what's what are we doing here? 'Cause we're way too south.

There you go. Okay. Now go off uh just there you go. Now can you go to Google satellite or

Okay, and zoom in and you'll see floor mark.

And and then I think you should zoom in just a little more. And then center this nineteenth nope, other way. And zoom in just a little bit more. You'll see floor mark comes in. To nineteen. Oh, they call it Floor Mart Terrace. Look at that.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

There you go.

Kathryn Starkey

Weird. So that floor mar terrace going north-south. The portion from Floor Mar Terrace to just in front of that round building. is the county and then you hit the city of New Port Richey And That's where people are getting um That's where people get a ticket in. On that road right there, there.

Jack MarianoChair

It's a nice quiet little road.

Kathryn Starkey

Yeah, and if you turn around the other way To where that car is, that's the ticket zone. Because it's not in Gulf in the Gulf Harbor's neighborhood.

And it's not in the city. Yeah,

Jack MarianoChair

just have any can change that so it should be easy.

Kathryn Starkey

So how how do we Is that a problem since it's not in the neighborhood?

Unidentified speakerVoice B

It's gotta go through the pro the golf cart authorization process. There's there's a process for

Unidentified speakerVoice C

that.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

Well 'cause

Kathryn Starkey

Golf Harbers is a golf cour cart community, we already did that.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

Is the rest of this property cities?

Kathryn Starkey

R um where the black top starts there, where that grass starts, that is the city. Right up here. There? That on the other side, that's the s right here is the city.

Unidentified speakerVoice D

Yeah, that's what I was wanting to do.

Kathryn Starkey

This end. Not even that end, that end. So

Mike Carballa

So is the issue because it's in the city? And the city

Kathryn Starkey

is to go? No, the city's a golf car city. It's the issue is that hundred foot strip that's they're saying is outside of Gulf Harbors.

Mike Carballa

Who's issuing citations? PSO.

What's on the road?

Kathryn Starkey

So we can vacate that and give it to the city. We don't

Jack MarianoChair

have to

do it.

Venkat can add it in. V Venkat can add it in. Just like he d he's done it elsewhere. Like he started Hudson, he started one section, then it was another connecting piece, put one connecting piece in, put another connecting piece in. He can add that in, he's probably done that part of the study. I'll gladly give a road to the city though. Oh

Kathryn Starkey

that's absolutely

Unidentified speakerVoice B

difficult. Well if it's only a hundred foot strip we we probably should, yeah.

Jack MarianoChair

No.

Okay. Just make a little adjustment on it. Real easy. Ben Cat can do it.

Kathryn Starkey

All right. So bringing that to your attention and uh

Jack MarianoChair

What district is that in?

Kathryn Starkey

Yeah, that is yours, isn't it? I guess it's because it's the Gulf Harbor's uh people they're calling it's close,

Jack MarianoChair

it's close. It's either
