There was another daylight burglary on Luawana on March 12. My house on Luawana St. also had two bedroom screens tampered with tht same week. I want to encourage all residents to write down license plate numbers of any cars that are not familiar on your steet. Lets be aware of things going on during the day in our neighborhood. I am home just a couple days a week during the day,
but I plan on going for walks in my area. Let's catch these low lives.

We live on the 3900 block of Berkshire Dr. Last week we left the house for about two hours around noon. By accident, we left a back bedroom window open. When we got home we found our back slider and screen open. It doesn't appear anything was taken, but I know the door couldn't have been open very long since none of our animals got out and they always try... I'm home most of the day and will definitely be watching our neighborhood a lot more closely.

Sarasota Baptist's planned development: Careless? Indifferent? Dangerous?

By -

Update: On Nov. 28, 2023,  despite the absence of any traffic study. the Board of Sarasota County Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the Sarasota Baptist windfall proposal for 87 unaffordable homes on Hand Road.  Six people from the community offered several reasons that a rational judge would consider to be compelling, but not this Board. This commission reads the Comp Plan not as a set of strategies to prevent poor planning, but rather as a mandate to mindlessly approve growth. From the follow-up story in the Sarasota News Leader : The new homes will increase car trips from 66 to 847 daily on crippled Hand Road.  Commissioner Mark Smith noted Transportation staff had provided a chart in the report on the application showing that the daily number of trips on Hand Road linked to the existing zoning, Open Use Estate, was 66. That figure was attributed to data found in the 11th edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) manual, which the Transportation staff uses as its prima

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution. "When a moccasin is nesting or has her young in their nest it will aggressively defend that area," says Ray. "Moccasins have aggressively attacked people." Water Snakes tend to be partly submerged, partly out of the water, more like this: Click f
