Several others have reported him. I heard that one Sunday evening the sheriff and the county inspectors showed up to see what he was doing. He was given a ceast and desist order, the feds were called in the next day due to his work in the wetlands. His attitude seems to be to just pay the fines and continue on. He is still working over there and is careful about keeping the gate locked. Everytime I hear him working on a weekday, I call the county inspectors, as they want to see what he is doing. So far by the time the inspectors have arrived, he has locked up and left.
A few years ago I attended a county supervisor meeting that started with reviewing building code and zoning violations. One case involved a dope grower that had made extensive modifications to terrace the land, and build roads. All without permits. Really messed up the drainage, too. The supervisors levied tens of thousands of dollars in fines. They'll get them, too, even if it means confiscating and selling the property. So don't be too concerned if the neighbor isn't caught in the act. The authorities will catch up with him eventually, and there will be H3ll to pay.
Used to travel there over a several year time span building several projects including the largest Biomass burning project in the US ( Ockeelanta ). This coast line down to West Palm Beach is a very affluent area of Florida> The owners of the biomass projects was the Fanjul Family living in Palm Beach. They operate 170000 acres of sugarcane fields around Lake Ockeechobee
