That Smell in Tangerine, Florida and Nearby Neighborhoods

 

The Shelley Hearing was basically four hearings combined into two. The first three were combined at the request of Jonathan Huels, the Shelley family attorney. The last one was handled by itself. GPITA's function is either a fertilizer storage area or a chipping/composting area for Shelleys and is located further down the road on Jones Avenue. I'm sure that those who weren't able to virtually attend the Code Enforcement for Shelley's Septic Tank are wondering how it went.
