[11:21] I have nothing else to report and I looked at the public if you would

[11:27] and have any good site please come up tell us who you are and where you live

[11:31] for the record and uh

[11:38] good afternoon gentlemen first of all my name is Jim Cook I'm the homeowner at 24

[11:45] West

[11:48] and before I get my problems I say that this is why a little piece of paradox

[11:56] and I believe this island Music Paradise so thank you for what you do every day

[12:02] but I did everything else every now and then you get a niche and my neighbors

[12:08] and I are concerned about the two pieces of property that point

[12:13] in West Broad Avenue

[12:16] you know start the first one

[12:22] uh there's two parts to it first of all on the north side

[12:26] along West 82nd Street Rhode Island Avenue

[12:32] I don't know what's called the right of way or easement or whatever but there's

[12:36] like 10 feet that I've heard mentioned and the 10 feet

[12:41] has a pile of um broken asphalt that's been there since

[12:46] day two is demolished also several big potholes of filled with water that turns

[12:51] into a muddy mess every time let's go where's this at on the K2 property this

[12:58] is on the North side but I take two property an area that has been referred

[13:02] so I'm not sure an easement or a or setback

[13:09] is it we'd love to have it cleaned up maybe

[13:14] the potholescope and the old asphalt removed several years

[13:20] I guess it's not gonna get paid up soon I haven't seen it the second part with

[13:26] that property is in the back of the property and this also goes back to when

[13:31] it was a restaurant there the 255 gallon drums that I believe contain used

[13:37] cooking oil which barrels are rusted they're 55 in

[13:42] here they're out there the Brows are Rusty and I would hate to

[13:48] think that the oil is leaching into the soil which may be already but I would

[13:52] love to have that oil

[13:56] and containers removed according to Safe environmental standards

[14:03] um well I'm out of course we'd love to have the lot cleaned up by the owner

[14:09] definitely I understand it's an ongoing issue so I yeah and that it's we're

[14:15] waiting to hear that when the oral arguments on our appeals

[14:20] thank you so now I have to go to the other side of the street where the RBA I

[14:25] think is a part of it is almost there [Music]

[14:30] is we'll start with the K2 property the

[14:36] space has fallen down and when you issued to

[14:40] him a letter today okay the corner where the

[14:46] there's a street sign down um it used to say well it does say less

[14:52] money must come left I think it costs a good decided

[14:58] I don't know how long it's there now right on the corner

[15:04] now the town's property obviously says Jones Florida

[15:10] it's a transfer station for construction road break construction materials which

[15:15] is around 50 sand or whatever else then it was used

[15:20] as a transfer of point for construction free

[15:27] just moved down but each time you know transfer takes place in a big dump truck

[15:34] heavy equipment and new stuff and it turns into a dust bowl

[15:38] currently I would say it's being used as a storage point or 4K construction

[15:46] materials so I everyone has their own idea

[15:50] personally I would just like to see I would love to see

[15:54] a pump station that we were told to put there in the pump station we we

[16:00] relocated to the water's edge up stations there so we went to a different

[16:05] design originally we did buy that to house the pump system but now we have

[16:12] an in-line great underwater's Edge uh pump and make sure that's better it's

[16:18] much better and so we are using it as uh storage for Street and bulkheads and we

[16:26] will be for the we'll remainder of this year and it will clean it up we have

[16:31] different parts of what we're going to do with it but it won't be a park

[16:34] somebody said that I said it was going to be a park or something no I think

[16:38] they're using it you know right now we're doing building a new building in

[16:43] the gpw yard and so most of the stuff that's there will typically be stored in

[16:50] the tpw but with the construction going on

[16:55] normally I would ask is that you know the the dirt there turns into a dust

[17:01] bowling more in the summer or a mud ball with

[17:06] degrees exploded right you know there's good portions of it it's probably the

[17:11] only block within a mile either way that doesn't have a side view

[17:15] so even a sidewalker you can walk down the street

[17:19] but now we're waiting we have to raise that whole area and we're waiting on the

[17:24] K2 case so we can they don't Prevail or they do Prevail we could probably take

[17:32] that too shelter all right well God's only I'll be around with him yeah well I

[17:39] I thanked you a few times and I hope I took care of the issues that my

[17:43] neighbors have to thank you

[17:47] next yeah

[17:51] along the grass Rhode Island Avenue 31 West and we're here to support Jim and

[17:56] Sam no not defeated that horse but we'll have them here for that matter and we've

[18:02] called before and we've been told of art is the count of the road and it's time

[18:06] to do but we do exert some type of pressure to get the boulevard at some

[18:11] level of playing I mean it's just a disgrace

[18:15] they were supposed to come down over the last two years that didn't show and we

[18:20] do have sections that are supposed to be paid this year they're not going to pay

[18:25] the whole thing they're doing in sections and we still have some soaring

[18:29] water going around yeah we still have a couple of water and sewer projects down

[18:34] south though but we've given them a list of streets that they can pave and uh

[18:38] we're just waiting for him to get here you know yeah I mean I don't get seasick

[18:42] until I go to the bagel shop from my house
