Thanks Allen. Do violations include the ongoing lighting problem or is it building construction only?

Code
To: Longboat Key Commissioner BJ Bishop
Thanks BJ. The violations referred to with the TCO are building or life/safety code violations that would cause unsafe building conditions. Lighting violations are covered under the Town’s Marine Turtle Protection ordinance, which is separate and ongoingly enforceable.

To: Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Director Allen Parsons
The turtles would say it is a life/safety issue- but they don’t get a vote. Thanks Allen.
