Dealing with Mobile Home Permits

 

Photo:  Underpass at Linebaugh was flooded, so I had to go the long way to work on my bike.

 

Yesterday, while walking around the sanctuary with my mother she told me that the little old bitty who lives near my lot on Valimar had thrown a fit that we were putting a used DCA mobile home on the lot rather than building a new house that would increase her property value.  She threatened to burn it down if we proceeded and later in the day somehow managed to get code enforcement to come out for the second time, and halt our progress with no reason given.

 

The permit expert, Laura, had been told by the county that they didn’t have to answer any of her questions about why our permit had been revoked.  My mother asked if I wanted to give in and build a new house there or fight it…Not too hard to guess which way that conversation went.

 

So today I wrote Marty Williams, of AAA Manufactured Housing:

 

Dear Marty,  I'd like to go with Laura to let Jim know that I own  properties in Pasco County and as a developer of vacant lots I add hundreds of thousands of dollars of value to their tax rolls?

 

And as founder of Big Cat Rescue we have 78,000 supporters in Florida who aren't going to be happy if we are being treated unfairly?

 

And as a litigant have recently been awarded a 1.2 million dollar judgement against a defendant who thought he would try to play unfairly with me?

 

What is the exact time, address and suite number for Jim?

Carole as of  8:15 this morning,  Laura with GTS installers & permitting told me county has released the permit for Valimar  so we start again  I think county had their meeting and knew they had no right to stop work on this permit just because  someone did not like that you were putting a  pre-owned home there, I will email you the permit
