Human Error? No such thing... according to SWR Code Enforcement.

Dear Southwest Ranches Friends and Neighbors:

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and if I don’t see you later…well then…Good Night!

On May 23, 2008, The Town of Southwest Ranches acquired a new non-resident landowner who took possession of a 5-acre parcel of land in the Sunshine Ranches section of our town. From that date until September 3 2008, the new landowner filled and cleared the land and demolished portions of the existing structure without permits.

On September 3 the neighbor across the street, Vincent Falletta, who has been a property owner and resident since 1967 inquired about a permit. In words that cannot be reprinted here the new non-resident land owner and his wife told the old guard resident land owner what they thought he should do to himself; which by the way, is anatomically impossible.

In a public records email that was forwarded to me I will reprint what transpired and just how our code department officials have taken our town’s reactive approach to code enforcement to new levels.

On Wednesday, September 3rd at 2:47PM, a town engineer Richard Bolt wrote an email to Elizabeth Tsouroukdissian of the Mellgren Planning Group and to the town code inspector Stan Morris to inquire about “any permits” for this Luray Road address in question.

On Wednesday, September 3rd at 3:25PM, the SWR code enforcement official Julio Davila reply emailed the following advisory…verbatim. “After an inspection of the property it seams that in addition to bringing in fill they have also done some demolition work as well as clearing.”

On Wednesday, September 3rd at 4:43PM Elizabeth Tsouroukdissian of the Mellgren Planning Group emailed Julio Davila, Richard Bolt and Stan Morris and said…verbatim.

“Guess what? I just had a walk-in asking all kind of zoning question on what to do with his property; he wants to clear, build a bridge, have his current house as a guesthouse and build a new one. If that cannot be done then he will subdivide, but in the meantime, he does not want to get flooded so he needs a fill permit…blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, how long does it take to have all that approved? When he was done, he asked me for my card and I asked his name: (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY).

I am glad I said he needs permits for pretty much everything before I even knew who he was. After he said his name, I did not want to ruin his idea that he fooled me by saying that I have already seen pictures of what he did! …. I hate when people think I’m stupid.”

Folks, in case you missed my last missive on this subject, Mr. and Mrs. (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY) are suing Vince Falletta and his son because they believe that they are the ones who turned them in to code enforcement.

Now the rest of the story… (Borrowed from Paul Harvey…RIP Mr. Harvey)

Picture it…NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) calling you up and inviting you to witness the launch of a rocket ship that will carry your name into space, not a name that happens to be the same as your name; your name, because you are the direct living descendent of the person whose spacecraft bears your name. The Cassini spacecraft was launched on October 15th, 1997 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using an U.S. Air Force Titan IVB/Centaur launch vehicle. The launch vehicle was made up of a two-stage Titan IV booster rocket, two strap-on solid rocket motors, the Centaur upper stage, and a payload enclosure or fairing. The complete Cassini flight system was composed of the launch vehicle and the spacecraft. The spacecraft, in turn, is composed of the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe.

The namesake of the Cassini spacecraft lives in Sunshine Ranches fairly close to the (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY) property. On Monday March 30 2009, our resident namesake of the Cassini spacecraft mistakenly placed on his swale 13-areca palm fronds tied / bundled for what he thought was to be the bulk pick-up day. Many residents make this error when there are (3) three Mondays in a month. Thinking that since two weeks had passed since the last bulk pick-up he was abiding by the bulk pick-up schedule. The Cassini spacecraft namesake admitted that he had made the mistake and asked the code enforcement officer to excuse this human error.

Code Enforcement Officer Julio Davila told the Cassini spacecraft namesake that “there is no such thing as human error” and our longtime resident spacecraft namesake paid a $450.00 fine for his 13 areca palm frond bulk pick-up day blunder.

NO FINE FOR (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY) WHO WORKED WITHOUT A PERMIT CLEARING, FILLING AND DEMOLISHING FOR THREE MONTHS; AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THE TOWN OF SOUTHWEST RANCHES IS ACCEPTING MR. (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY) “DONATION” OF HIS MULCHED ILLEGAL CLEARING BYPRODUCT FOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT OUR TOWN. THE TOWN OF SWR IN A DEAL CRAFTED BY A FORMER DISGRACED OUSTED TOWN COUNCILMAN AND A CURRENT TOWN PROGRAM MANAGER IS TAKING THIS GUYS GARBAGE OFF OF HIS PROPERTY, AND OUR LONGTIME RESIDENTS WHO FOLLOW THE LETTER OF THE LAW ARE BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN ERROR!

SO IT IS SHUT UP AND PAY UP MR. SPACEMAN, BUT WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD MR. AND MRS. (NAME WITHHELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE TOWN NEWCOMERS ARE SUE HAPPY)?

THIS TOWNS CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT NEEDS AN ENEMA!

I HAVE GOT A NEWS FLASH HERE FOR YOU FOLKS! OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT CONTRACTED COMPANY; CODE ENFORCEMENT INC. IS A HUMAN ERROR!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE MR. MAYOR. PLEASE TAKE NOTES NEW TOWN ADMINISTRATOR. PLEASE TAKE A HIKE JULIO.

That’s All Folks!!!
