Canal home pavers lot coverage and permits
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.

gonna find a situation where a firetruck may not be able to get in and get through. Um I've got pictures on the camera I can I can get them out later on. I don't I don't think we do it timely. I don't know if Dan's got the pictures, but every Every single home that's on a canal there has got a tremendous amount of pavers that are in front, if not concrete in front. I've always pushed to put in the back. Um When I was over to Switzerland I I made the comments. Around their waterways, Lake Geneva takes all the runoff, And there's a tremendous amount of asphalt
and concrete. They don't have a problem with the water quality. My thinking is at least in the these canal homes that if somebody wants to put pavers around their whole front yard, their whole backyard, It should we should look at handling it differently than just Um Lot coverage the way it's done. if they're gonna put pavers especially, there's still gonna be some drainage that's involved that's gonna happen. Right now I've got a situation where a gentleman, you can go two doors down. This papers over his entire lot. the
paper guy that came in to do his driveway, instead of doing concrete or asphalt, he decided to go to papers. So somewhere in the conversation the pay every guy says, look, I can do this whole thing here without a permit. Which he can. However, because he is in the midst of construction, We've m we're making him go through loops right now to the hoops right now to kind of make this all work. And I wanna get with Sally later on and hopefully by we'll get this resolved quickly. This gentleman's got the whole housing inspected, approved. It's just coming
down to a driveway now. We can't get it through. And I wanna go. if we need to change the ordinance, I'll bring something back forward to go do so, but There's no reason we couldn't allow someone to do
And
and they could do this. You could actually tear the papers out he put in already. He could tear them out. Come back for another permit. and get it approved to build it just like everybody else. But because of our process. He can't do it that way when I'm being told. I'm gonna try to work it out later on today. But it may be something I bring back to to go with just We've got to make it easier for people to develop on the coast. And this is like a perfect example of why we should be doing it. So I'll be working on it later on. That's all I have, sir.
All right.
Thank you. Mr. Bells?
