Ramp194 was constructed at 194 NE Wavecrest Way in Boca Raton, FL in November-December 2002 with help from several confidants. Muchisimos gracias.<\/p>\n
Moved in early Feburary 2003 due to “redevelopment potential” of the property (e.g. eviction).<\/p>\n
Back in action by mid-Feburuary … for 3 sessions.<\/p>\n
City of Boca Raton Code Enforcement shows up and shuts down the ramp Feb. 27, 2003. Apparently, a disgruntled neighbor complained to the City about “some serious skateboarding.”<\/p>\n
According to City officials, the ramp is considered a “structure” and requires a building permit.<\/p>\n
Initial application for building permit submitted March 3, 2003. Application not accepted. Renters cannot pull a permit for anything in the City of Boca.<\/p>\n
Letter sent to landloard on March 6, 2003 explaining the situation … and pleading for help.<\/p>\n
Landlord signs and notorizes building permit application on March 17, 2003. However, the City won’t accept the application without proof of insurance. After some mild persuasion, the landlord also provides a certificate of homeowners insurance … unreal. Muchisimos gracias.<\/p>\n
After many days of limbo, phone calls, frustration, & skateparks:<\/p>\n
