Ocean BLVD also known as GULF STREAM GOLF CLUB. The owners of this property have failed to install a proper seawall or bulkhead where their property borders the waterway. They have instead randomly deposited broken and previously used construction debris to serve the purposes of a proper seawall. This assemblage has fallen into a state of disrepair allowing upland soil to erode into the Intracoastal Waterway. I have personally witnessed golf course maintenance workers depositing soil or fill material behind this deposition in an apparent attempt to replace the eroded soil material. I believe this is a direct and clear violation of Sections 22- 31(5), 22- 31(18) and 22- 31(20) of the Town's Code of regulations. Additionally, the construction debris purposely assembled for shoreline armoring has become entangled with obnoxious vegetative growth in direct and clear violation of Sec. 22 -31(4) and has ensnared floating trash from the waterway in direct and clear violation of Sec. 22- 31(6). 1 have also witnessed what appears to be large water rats moving through the construction debris. No doubt these animals have found harborage in the gaps and crevices of the construction debris in direct and clear violation of Sec. 22- 31(8). 1 believe you may find other violations when you personally inspect this property, I am only reporting to you the ones that appear most obvious to me. These conditions have existed for as long as I can remember and I have seen these nuisance conditions get worse and worse as more old construction debris has been dumped along the shoreline, some as recently as last year. I have been bothered by this unsightly mess for many years but I have never complained about it because I thought nothing could be done. I only recently became aware that these conditions are in violation of many of the Town's Codes. I believe their continued existence has a direct negative impact on the value of my home and the homes of my neighbors. I implore you to use the powers given you by the Town's Code and enforce all the regulations of Chapter 22 to bring this property owner into compliance and fix this awful problem as quickly as possible. Your prompt response to my complaint is appreciated.
