COMMISSIONERS   VIOLATE   THEIR  OWN  LAW !

THEY  MAKE  A  MOCKERY  OUT  OF  CODE  ORDINANCE !

        At a recent Commission meeting, a lady came forth asking for a variance on the code surrounding the placement of a structure around a dumpster on her commercial property.    The Code has such stringent restrictions placed on dumpster sites  -- such as ---

bullet

Must survive the severe hurricane restrictions placed upon building structures under State guidelines.  Gale forces to 225 mph wind bursts, or more.

bullet

Must be constructed of concrete block in order to meet those requirements, and on a reinforced concrete slab.     They approve building requirements that wouldn't meet this code.

bullet

The drainage of that slab must meet all ground water run-off requirement to enhance the quality of water seeping into the underground aquifer.

bullet

The outer coating of the reinforced concrete enclosure must meet with neighborhood environmental colors, and not distracting from the esthetics of its surroundings.

bullet

Penalties for failure to comply will be enormous, and no mercy shown.

        Needless to say, the Commission overwhelmingly voted down her request for financial relief, and threw her to the code violation dog pound.   It will cost her over $5,000 to comply with this City's strict building code surrounding the 8 X 8 foot dumpster.    With this City's unmitigated irresponsibility to its citizens, this comes as no surprise.    After All---- it is the City of Winter Springs !

            The picture of the City's dumpster has been removed.    City officials have built another of their TAX SPENDING monstrosities, and enclosed the missing dumpster.    The enclosure is well above a $25,000 dollar City expenditure, since they were embarrassed with the "pornographic" dumpster picture that they displayed at City Hall.     Drive by and take a look at your tax dollars spent to enclose the City's "TRASH".

ISN'T  THIS  ENCLOSED  DUMPSTER  PRETTY ?

AFTER  ALL ----- IT  MUST  BE -----  IT'S   TO  CITY  CODES !

City Manager ---- Is this a case of don't do as I do, do as I say ?
