How to Sign Up for the Code Enforcement Hearing July 8, 2020

Hello,

As you all know, there is a hearing scheduled on Wednesday, July 8, 2020, at 9 am regarding code enforcement issues with Shelley’s Septic Tanks.  The hearing will be conducted remotely due to concerns about Covid-19. You can be physically present in the courthouse for the hearing but you'll be viewing the proceedings on a screen in a different room there (Room 105) and be socially distanced from other attendees. Masks are required if you planned to do this. 

Alternatively, you can attend the meeting using the internet or your phone. You can sign up to join the hearing this way by going to the link below. The sign-up process is pretty easy. Plan to do this in advance of the meeting. The same signup is used for both the internet and the phone. You will get a verification e-mail of your registration.

If you intend to introduce any relevant documentation or physical evidence during the public hearing, then at least 24 hours before the hearing starts, either e-mail those documents to coderesearch@ocfl.net or deliver copies of those documents to the Code Enforcement Division at the Second floor of 2450 W 33rd Street in Orlando, FL 32839. This is so that copies may be forwarded to the Special Magistrate or Code Enforcement Board and the Code Inspector prior to the hearing. 

We encourage you to send stories of how Shelley’s code violations have affected you.

Note: If you submit any materials for the hearing please be sure to request that be included in the public record.

This meeting is open to the public under Florida’s Government in the Sunshine Law, therefore, every effort will be made to hear all persons having relevant evidence or argument to offer.  The Ethics Law of the State of Florida requires that the County keep track of every person who appears before an official hearing officer of the County, whether in an effort to influence the Special Magistrate’s decision making or to encourage the passage, defeat or modification of any proposal or recommendation of the Special Magistrate.  In order to implement the State Law, it is required that every person who appears before the Special Magistrate fully complete an official appearance form. These forms are available from coderesearch@ocfl.net and must be completed by anyone wishing to speak at the hearing in-person or virtual.  Additionally, please limit your comments to only information relating to this case.

The Daily Sludge Report Zero Days Without A Smell Report Check back for updates as reports come in It's 2:07 am on a clear and beautiful night . I took the dog out for a late walk, and there it was, waiting for me like a cat stalks a lizard... The stink. This morning was another day of stink . My phone was blowing up and I hadn't even opened my laptop. There'll be a lot to unpack today so hold on.  This was sent to Anuvia FB. "Hello. I live in Tangerine. March 2, 2020, and many other days in the last two years, I have taken my dogs out for a walk. As soon as we go out the door, we are hit by the strong smell of fertilizer and human waste smell. We often have to go back inside and wait until the smell goes away. Most of the time it just sits there like a heavy cloud. I am a captive in my own home, and my dogs have to suffer. This smell makes my throat burn and I start coughing. With the threat of coronavirus COVID-19 that specifically attacks the lungs, an...

Mount Dora's Wastewater Treatment Plant Smells.

To: grusauskasj@cityofmountdora.com Letter 1 Dear Mr. Grusaukas,   I had to go to CVS in Mount Dora last night at 10:00 p.m.  I was traveling north on 441 and when I got to Stoneybrook Parkway there was a horrible sewage smell, even with the car windows up.  When I got to the top of the hill to the water plant the smell was enough to make you gag!  I continued to smell it all the way to Renningers.   45 minutes later when I was returning home and traveling south on 441 the stench was still there.  I cannot believe the poor residents of Stoneybrook are subjected to this.  What is wrong with the water plant?  I travel to Leesburg all the time and go right past their water plant and it never smells.  Mount Dora’s water plant is also an eyesore!  It is covered in black mold and looks disgusting!  Other towns have their water plants painted and they look neat and clean.   Mount Dora painted the stalls around the dumpsters in to...

Recording Odors and More: Advice for Sullivan Ranch and Stoneybrook Hills Residents

I haven't written about the Mount Dora City Council meeting on December 15th yet for several reasons. You can listen to a recording of the meeting here.  Although I was there, I spent all of the meeting in the hallway as the room was too crowded during a pandemic, so I didn't hear much of what was going on.  Although fixing the smell is important to me, my health and my significant other's health is more important.  It was clear to me that there was no regard for Covid-19 when the decision was made to hold the meeting in the City Council Meeting Room instead of the much larger Community Room. I don't know the room measurements but I believe that it was unsafe to be in. (I have a contract tracing certificate from Johns Hopkins.) You can calculate the number of safe minutes using the square footage, ceiling height, and the number of people present here.   I don't know how big the room is but I assumed it was 1,000 square feet with 12-foot ceilings. I don't know ho...
