In August 2006, the St Johns County Commission passed an ordinance (# 2006-82) effective August 3,2006 and reads that NO LIGHT of MORE THAN 25 WATTS is allowed within 50 feet of a dock or any body of water. This includes Treasure Beach!!!
I have had complaints of glaring lights (over 25 watts) shining directly into the canal neighbor across the canal. This is unacceptable!
I am asking the residents who are suffering from this situation to contact the County Code Enforcement Office (209-0734) and report this violation. Don’t even attempt to confront the property owner across from you. This is the county’s job to do. Remember code enforcement is driven by complaints .You don’t need the heartburn. When you call the office – get a complaint number - so you can check on the situation if it seems that nothing is being done.
The complaint is held anonymous so your name is never given out.
To the property owners who have the bright, glaring lights referred to in the above - you know who you are. If you don’t want a complaint made against you that could result in fines and penalties levied by St Johns County and possible court fees – please take correct this situation immediately.
