Written on Cracking down: Marco Island Code Enforcement Board signals new 'get tough' attitude:

in response to RayPray:

Some of our friendly local REALTORS are going around now to older homes and telling their owners that they are are working closely with the Code Enforcers, and hinting that, unless the owner chooses to list their home with the realtor, they will become target for a barrage of expensive charges and fines.

Please provide us with the source of your information.

in response to KlausStoertebeker:

So what is your point? I fight for the interests of the people and you for administration problems. That’s the difference between an entrepreneur and a former government worker. The people behind the bridge need a higher clearance. That increased the value of their property.

Written on Letter to the Editor: My position on the Smokehouse Bay Bridge:

Not looking for a fight, but for the sake of accuracy the Winterberry Bridge was selected for replacement in 2005. After hurricane Wilma, the Florida Department of Transportation determined the bridge was structurally deficient, and closed the bridge to commercial traffic. The Coast Guard held up the permitting process after that, and the new span didn't open up until 2008.

To me, this doesn't sound like a perfectly good bridge was torn down to be replaced by a prettier one.

I do believe Mr. Honig is correct in his approach to replacing the bridge. Analyze all possibilities and come up with the best solution.

Written on Code Compliance: Replacing more than three boards on a dock requires a permit :

McBreeze, typical flame. You try to defend your attacks on others when you don't like their comments or opinions. Next you insult others to deflect
attention away from what must be your weak personality. It is the weak mind that uses vulgarity to express itself forcefully; such is your bullying
in this post. I think you need to rethink your approach for posting, rather than going off and insulting someone whose comments you don't like.
Try posting comments without going after somebody personally. Try to follow your own advice: stay on topic and try to educate yourself with the facts
rather than insulting others. Many folks find this to be a matter that is taken serious, and nobody should have to face your personal comments.

in response to MrBreeze:

Laduev, We can argue all day long but I still do not agree with your position.

Homeowners have rights to work on their own property I am sticking with that. I see the greed of the City and the Contractors on the island and believe this it is not getting better.

What is a matter with you? I don't have a position; I stated the obvious. The attorney "fought the law, and the law won"!

Why don't you go have some fun and stick your hand into a fan.

Putz.

Written on Code Compliance: Replacing more than three boards on a dock requires a permit :

in response to MrBreeze:

Laduev, So in your wourld being an attorney the man shold have "known" to call the City of Marco Island and ask if he needed a permit to repair/refinish his dock.Correct?

If the answer is yes, where does this end? Do you call the City and ask to paint your house? Service you HVAC system? Replace a sink,faucet,toilet? Run a outlet for a tv on the wall? A new cable line ? Garbage disposal or dishwasher? My bet is the "City" would tell you those are all "permitted jobs" meaning you need a permit and maybee a contractor to proceed. Is this the same as crossing the street? Is this the concept you want me to accept?

I think the man did nothing wrong. He took pride in his property. He excerised is property rights to better his home. If I were him being an attorney I would challenge this in the courts and he would prevail as the ordinance is flaued due to involving electrical inspection in dock repair or refinish.

The only way they can do this is through ordinance. This would be like saying if you were to paint your home it would then be subject to any other inspections they deem necessary to "attach" to the ordinance, This is how they get more fees and control of the homeowner. I hope you see my point on this issue.

McBeenz,your posts state you've done contractor work. Did you ever rush into a job without adequately preparing for what needed to be done? I doubt it; I'm sure you followed policies/codes/laws/etc., to ensure the success of your endevors. This is a good working practice and common sense. The attorney in the story did not follow policies/codes/laws/etc. He now faces fines if he doesn't comply. There is a lesson here for all of us.

And this is the end of the discussion between you and me.

Don't try to twist my posts so you can try to engage me in an argument over some foolish logical extreme.

Good day.

Written on Code Compliance: Replacing more than three boards on a dock requires a permit :

in response to MrBreeze:

Laduve, You are so misinformed. You say "does the dock meet electrical requirments so some guest do not get electrocuted?"

The homeowner replaced boards and refinished the dock. Who said anything about "Electrical" other than the Building Offical. Now think about this.What would happen if the homeowner did nothing to the dock? He left it alone, it was in compliance as far as anyone knows. He left it to rot did no repairs. Again no Code violations. You as a guest come over trip on bad wood get injured, sue homeowner.

Where is in your logic that preventing your potential injury is "shooting himself in the foot". Would you rather live next door to the dock falling in the water in disrepair or the "pristine" dock that the man was penelized for.

Wake up, you must work for the City.

McBreeze, let me explain my post to you. My post says that one would think an attorney would have taken the steps necessary to ensure he was within compliance with the city before beginning his project. It is simple enough to do. If he had, none of this would have happened. He didn't, and what we see here is an attorney shooting himself in the foot. This approach is similar to looking both ways before crossing a street, or looking before you leap; I think you get the concept.

I never said anything about the gentleman leaving his dock in disrepair; it should have been fixed, but the way he went about fixing it was wrong.

And I do not work for the city.

Written on Code Compliance: Replacing more than three boards on a dock requires a permit :

Amazing. As an attorney, one would think he would be thorough enough to ensure he was within the rules of law. If he had made the phone calls, got the permits, followed simple procedures, made the necessary inquiries, and lined up the required inspections none of this would have happened. None of it. Did his dock work meet requirements? Nobody knows. Does the dock sealent meet the requirements so it doesn't polluted the water? Nobody knows. Does the dock's electrical meet requirements so the perhaps some guest doesn't get electrocuted? Nobody knows. Only children should be allowed to be this irresponsible. Wouldn't it be something if the city makes him tear down his dock? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Too bad he is not a doctor, because he just shot himself in the foot.

Written on Marco Island drugstore closes after 43 years in business :

People who abuse prescription drugs can't get them filled at CVS or Walgreens because these large chains belong to a network that tracks drug purchases. These chain stores won't sell prescription drugs to individuals who fit a pattern demonstrating abuse. Individuals who abuse prescription drugs have to keep finding doctors who will write the prescription (doesn't matter if it's an emergency room or a 24/7 health center), and they have to find a drug store that will fill the prescription. That's where the mom-and-pop drugstores fill the need; they are not on a network like the large chains, and end up filling prescriptions that are abused. Was Island Drug victimized by these individuals who go to great lengths to get drugs? I don't know. But when individuals come from off-island to pick up prescription drugs, one has to wonder. I suspect someone dropped-a-dime and Chief Carr caught on.

Written on Forum: Email sets off flag debate on Marco Island:

"Trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.

Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.

For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.

Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!)."

Written on City: Rumored delays in Marco Island bridge construction are just that:

It seems unlikely that the City is going to put up toll booths and start collecting tolls. This situation would discourage tourists and conventioneers from coming to the island; how would the local merchants survive once the only legitimate industry on Marco Island is gutted? A toll bridge is easily one of the worst things the City could do.

Written on Proposal to eliminate Florida fishing licenses catches anglers’ attention POLL/PHOTOS:

The New Jersey legislature is pushing for a free saltwater fishing license for its residents. Other states in the northeast charge between $7 to $10 a year and the states reciprocate with each other, making the need for an in-state and an out-of-state saltwater fishing license unnecessary.

I understand that saltwater fishing in Florida is different than in the northeast, and the money raised through licensing is put to better use in Florida. But the price for a Florida license is beginning to look a bit expensive.

Look at the fees charged to non-residents; $17 for a 3-day license and $30 for a seven-day license? Tourists are getting gouged. It might be better just to charge a non-resident $25 for the year and be done with it. It should reduce overhead and it certainly should look a lot more friendly to the tourists.

Joni Mitchell wrote a song called "Big Yellow Taxi" with the lyrics "They paved paradise to put up a parking lot." That was in 1970. It's amazing that so many people have learned so little since then.

Perhaps we should change the song's lyrics to "They paved Tract K to put up the MIA".

What's next? Maybe someone will suggest we should kill all the manatees.

Marco Island cannot be all things to all people. Marco Island is what it is. People need to accept it for what it is and instead of trying to change it, they should move on.

MarcoIslandWoman, I am like a lot of people you read this blog; to keep up with local Marco news and to try and understand local sentiment on the island's issues.

Unfortunately, your blogs don't make a worthy contribution at all. You misrepresent yourself, you lie, and you have used this blog to defame other individuals.

Marco News gives everyone an opportunity to present themselves and their opinions in a public forum. You have taken this opportunity and you have abused it.

There is no reason for anyone who reads these blogs to support you. I am sure there are many readers who hope you go away, and do it soon.

You have chosen a blogging approach that is most abusive.

You have chosen to mislead others by the way you represent yourself in this blog.

Biguy, I have to agree with your assessment of engineers. Every engineer I have ever known was a know-it-all who couldn't be told anything and the results of their efforts had problems that should have been avoided had they listened or shown more diligence in their planning. This is not a phenomenon restricted to southwest Florida; it is the way of most engineers.
