To Pave or not to pave, that is the question?

Hilltop road along with the neighboring streets is a neighborhood comprised of mobile homes of various sizes ,ages and looks.These citizens used to live against the former race track for dogs and horses complex which now hails the new condominiums that look unsightly like dorms or military barracks. The streets were dirt for many years and recent years brought paved roads and sidewalks to the neighborhood.
City of Casselberry is now ruling with an IRON FIST to force illegally to have home owners pave or concrete their drive ways. Where once was a simple place to live by having a driveway comprised of dirt or grass the same as the road in front of the homes the city is forcing residents to pave or concrete. Most of the water meters and water pipes are in these designated areas.
Does it make sense to spend $10,000.00 on a property worth less than $24,000.00? The city is not paying for this but intends to criminalise the residents if they don't comply. Oh, you have to have a permit to put in your driveway, that is a Fancy word for TAXES.The first 15 ft is the city's right of way,have the city pave that at the city commissioners expense FIRST! The city would pave the streets with GOLD if no one stood up for what is right. Shame on them for harassing citizens that are financially challenged.Come and share you views at commission meetings. Please note:The city intends to eradicate all trailers in Casselberry soon!
