What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda

There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

wait, you know, all f to get the uh the doctor to respond like last time and if it took a year, if it took even six months to get a no trespassing sign on that property, it was it was bad. So um okay, uh so I was approached by the Civic Association in Gulf Harbors. Uh actually this has come to me a couple of times and They want to put signage on the back of the canals, especially for um
uh say emergencies or addresses. You can't You know, when you're when you're on a canal, you don't know what street you're on. And so they asked the county if we could they could make street signs similar to to what we have on the street and put 'em have someone volunteer to put it on their property in the in the back so you know what that street is um beh on that house. Frankly, I remember when our code enforcement had a boat and was going through Gulf Harbors, they could they had no clue what address they were looking
at when they saw violations. It was very difficult for them. Um so we did get an email from staff that said that was something we could not do and I'm I'm not sure why. And maybe I don't know if that's law, but Um we're I would like you to look into this a little more if you inform
me the email because I've not seen that.
Sure. And um and we even said, well, we'll we'll pay for the signs. Um and I adopted my street. If you know if one person puts it on there, at least you know what street you're on when you see an issue in the back of someone's house. Oh, understood. Afford that of Huh?
Mr. Chairman Mariano. I mean if they're say they probably don't have any public property anyways. You're gonna have to go in back in somebody's yards probably where the sign's going. So I don't I mean if somebody wants to put a dot
post or something.
If somebody wants to put it in their backyard, shouldn't they be able to put it in their backyard?
I don't know. I need to see. But if they're willing to if they're I'm just saying if they're willing to pay for it, they can just give you the dimensions and who to call to ha have them made. If somebody wants to put it in their backyard and they're and you got in the civic association And everybody agrees on the size and the style. It's it's like no difference than putting a little something in your backyard, right? I mean it's
So and I you know, for health and safety, I think it's it's good it's a good idea to have identification from the back as well.
I've seen homes with them and they have the addresses on their seawalls.
Yeah. So and I think some places may require it. So um Again, um also there I've asked for manatee. uh signs to be placed out there in Gulf Harbors because I'm watching them get run over. Physic I am personally watching him get hit. It's very disturbing and high tide. And um and a no wake sign. And I still I haven't got that back, and I know it's it's been like six months. Um Th another issue that I wanna
