This is in response to your letter of February 1, 2008.
I am providing for your information a copy of a chronology of events relating to this
matter. As you will note, this matter began on July 20, 2007. You indicate in your letter
that once the Town of Gulf Stream stamped the submittal, it was sent to Palm Beach
County the very next day. We have checked on this and have confirmed with the
County that the County did not receive the application until November 14, 2007.
This is an unduly long period of time to obtain compliance in regard to a matter which
began as early as July 20, 2007. The Town of Gulf Stream is not harassing your client,
but is only following through with its obligation to require compliance with its codes. I
am advised that Mr. Spillane has a history of undertaking projects within the Town
without obtaining appropriate permits. The Town cannot condone that kind of activity
and must require that Mr. Spillane comply with the Town's codes. The Town's seeking
to achieve compliance is far from harassment and the Town denies any such
allegations.
As to the incident you report relating to your client's driveway being blocked by a police
officer, I have spoken directly to the police officer who indicates that his car did block a
portion of the driveway, but that when the police officer asked Mr. Spillane if he should
move his car as Mr. Spillane was attempting to get out of his driveway, Mr. Spillane
indicated no, that he could get around him, which indeed he did because the width of
the driveway was such that allowed for easy passage by Mr_ Spillane. The police officer

also indicated in regard to the gentleman that was working on your client's boat that he
simply wanted to speak to the individual himself so he could advise the individual that
he needed to obtain an occupational registration from Town Hall, which he
subsequently did.
The Town refutes the fact that it is invading your client's privacy or that it is trespassing
on his property. If your client is trying to be a good neighbor, then we expect that he will
comply with all of the codes and ordinances of the Town. In the event he does not, the
Town will follow its normal course of action of seeking and enforcing compliance.
I am returning to you the plans which you forwarded to me. I understand from checking
with the County that your plans have now been approved and a permit granted.
Hopefully, this will resolve this matter.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or questions.
Sincerely,
JONES, FOSTER, JOHNSTON & STUBBS, P.A.
