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. Long story short, Orange Coun ty Code Enforcement prevailed with the Special Magistrate. Shelley's filed a suit against the County on June 24th, 2020. We have to wait to see if they will file an appeal regarding the Special Magistrate's decision.  You can see the Orange County's PPT for the hearing here.  This was obtained from Orange County Code Enforcement as it's public record.

For Zellwood, Tangerine, Surrounding Neighborhoods June 13, 2020 Orange County sent an update on their investigation of the local odors.  Anuvia and Shelleys are dealing with the FDEP. There really isn't a lot of new information here on them. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspected Monterey Mushrooms and didn't mention the odor in their report but did mention a sanitation issue. The FDEP issued a warning letter notifying them that they are conducting a formal investigation into the facility’s illegal use of “misters” or “evaporators” to increase the evaporation rate from holding ponds. It appears that they want to fight back on the odor reports.  Please, please continue to report odors. I know that it's a pain to report in two places but if there aren't complaints there isn't follow through.  We cannot stop now and need to stay on top of this issue.  Via Orange County today: Orange County Government is re...
