Everyone in the government turned away and brushed off the zoning violations. The zoning code tells the government, builders, architects how violations should be corrected. There's no enforcement, no place to turn. Even the Appeals Board doesn't hear some of the cases and if they don't you can turn ...

Here's the 2nd article on Band's trial. Construction errors - imagine that. And I thought these were seasoned investors & builders. http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20110427/ARTICLE/110429497/2107/BUSINESS?Title=Contractor-blames-David-Band-for-project-cost-cutting Regarding time share units...

If you take pride in ownership at Grand Bay or you are a beloved renter, don't read any further. Band is getting a little hot under the collar. His trial started Monday in Sarasota and is expected to last two weeks. See today's article from the Sarasota Herald Tribune. http://www.heraldtribune.com/a...

Due to a murder trial, Band's trial is postponed until April. Apparently David doesn't like the publicity this trial has given him. The Judge on the other hand said the publicity won't matter much. Libby's case is all about fraud; not zoning, building and fire code violations. That trial will be in ...

Exit Zero - Didn't Bay Isles want to create jobs from the get go? Look at all the work created for lawyers, paralegals, court reports, process servers, Judges, clerks, Staples for office supplies, and the list goes on and on. Don't forget the travel industry. All these people suing one another have ...

The attached two articles appeared in Sunday's & Monday's issue of the Sarasota Herald Tribune. It's interesting how Band allegedly tangled himself into a web of lies, fraud and deceit. His first court appearance regarding Grand Bay/Bay Isles is next Monday, Jan. 24. in Sarasota. The article sta...

Mr. Mathes was contacted yesterday regarding Grand Bay's building code violations and possible fire code violations. Obviously, given that they are safety issues concerning all the occupants of the buildings, DPNR will investigate the situation and the issuance of the CO's. The concerned citizens of...

I don't believe the Bay Isle/Grand Bay issue will die in the near future. The arguments have no reflection on the condo owners since they should have been informed of all the violations prior to closing. The issue here is, the community is sick and tired of the lack of government over sight on devel...
