Siesta Seen
THE SABAL DRIVE HOUSE ISSUES STILL ARE UNRESOLVED; THE
STORMWATER PROJECT DEWATERING EFFORT IS MOVING AHEAD; AND
THE COUNTY COMMISSION WANTS A PLAN OF ACTION REGARDING
HIGH-WATER SIGNS

More than a month after Sarasota County's
Planning and Development Services
Department issued permits for demolition
of illegal structures at a Sabal Drive house
on Siesta Key, the work still had not begun
as of Oct. 18.
Regular readers will recall that Sarasota
County filed a legal complaint this summer
against the owners of the house at 6537 Sabal
Drive, off Old Stickney Point Road, because
the enclosure of the ground floor not only
violates Federal Emergency Management
As of Oct. 18, the house at 6537 Sabal Drive remained intact — and in violation of county and federal
building codes. File photo
