PLEASE do something about the DANGEROUS drivers at the cocoplum plaza. the main entrance by starbucks is a nightmare!! and eveyone coming out of the plaza into the parkinglot is in danger with no view of traffic flow, meanwhile people speed and if you throw your hands up they blame you!!! visitors in our town and the residents should be respectful of where we live but theres nothing stopping them from speeding trying to exit the parkinglot. its always congested. please help!! our children are in danger. this happens everytime i go, unfortunately :"(
They interactions with employees in the building has been great. They are very friendly and professional and provide fast service. The city council however seems to have noses in the air and want to run people's lives ran than better our city typical government with fighting within.
North Port Neighborhood Development Services and Scott Williams have been abusing me for the past several months. They send me threatening letters with false accusations. They want me to throw everything away and give up my harmless hobby.
NP NDS is frequently visiting my property and claiming I run a business. The two vehicles being worked on are my own, one of which I drive and the second one is just getting some upgrades. The equipment is also my own and I'm not even done putting it together. Shellee Hall has made many inconsistent remarks and claims that my equipment is a car lift. In reality a car lift would be 10x the size, stand as tall and the house, and my driveway wouldn't even support it. The time frames NP NDS has given me to comply have been very inconsistent with Shellee Hall telling me one thing and Karol Kozabl at the main office telling me another. They close cases and then reopen them when nothing has changed that got the case closed to begin with. At one point Shellee Hall has told me that I'm not in the wrong but Scott Williams is the blame.
The abuse from NP NDS has been causing me and my family a lot of stress and effective our lives very negatively.
I'm a self taught mechanic who learned how to work on my own cars ever since I moved to FL due to my passion in technology. Over the years I've enjoyed learning on my own vehicles and seeing what kind of original and interesting things I can accomplish with my own hands.
We understand that no system is ever perfect. Despite a few permitting issues, we have had a very prompt and positive customer service experience from the entire staff at the City of North Port Building Department. Every manner was handled very professionally.
As a GC i have always been treated very well by the desk persons at the North Port Building Department, however i don't contract work in the city anymore simply because of the arbitrary way they approve and more importantly disapprove permits, i waited five weeks for a window permit, that said nothing about there own interpretation of egress language in the FBC. the windows (in their opinion ) were 1/4" to small. even though if you pushed on the window you could get it to go up at least that far. this in my opinion is not serving the customers best interest nor the community's. It would seem that they are more interested in creating road blocks to getting theses jobs done in order to some how give there code enforcement people something to do
My responsibility is to my customer, not the government employee who seems to have a personal issue with the people they clam to serve.
I received a phone call from a city employee (inspector) named Kevin about a city violation. He treated me like a criminal and yelled on the phone at me while threatening to have to police come arrest me. I have never been spoken to like this in my life. I will be speaking with someone higher up in regards to this. This was unprofessional and uncalled for. Let's hope all city employees do not act this way and something will be done about this.
