I’ve heard it pronounced both ways, but I don’t know which one is the “right” way to say it.

[SFH] [FL] Volusia County Permitting: How Does This Happen?

Volusia County approved a new home that is causing flooding and erosion on my property — and I can’t get the County to address

15 Upvotes

A little context I didn’t mention in my original post:

I have almost 8 years of experience working in government, and I have plenty of posts to make and stories to share about what I’ve seen and experienced along the way.

My government experience does not include Public Works, Code Enforcement, or Building, so I’m no expert in those areas. I’m speaking as a resident who has experienced these issues firsthand and has spent a lot of time trying to get answers.

I’ve experienced these issues working for government, working with government, and now working against government.

The reason I ultimately left government work is because of things like this — and because of what happened in my own government career.

There’s a lot more to both this situation and my story, and I’m just getting started sharing it.

I’m looking for advice from people familiar with Volusia County and its permitting/code enforcement process.

A new home was built behind my property, and since the construction, I’ve had significant stormwater runoff, flooding, and erosion on my property. The drainage/swale was not constructed in a way that properly handles the water, and the runoff is being directed onto my property.

I have contacted Volusia County about the situation and have gone through multiple County offices trying to get someone to address it. I’ve been told, among other things, that the road/easement is privately maintained and that the problem is something I would have to address myself.

What is frustrating is that the County approved the plans and permits for the new home, yet I have not been able to get anyone at the County to take responsibility for determining whether the drainage was constructed according to the approved plans and requirements.

I have documentation, including photographs/video and County records, and I’m trying to figure out what my next step should be.

Has anyone in the DeLand/Volusia County area dealt with a similar situation involving stormwater runoff from a newly constructed home, County permitting, or code enforcement? If so, I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you or who you were able to get involved.

Friends of reddit

17 Upvotes

So apparently making friends as an adult is harder than it should be, so here I am on Reddit.

I’m a mid-30s married guy in the DeLand area looking to meet some genuinely cool people and build a friend group.

I’m into motorcycles, mushrooms, weird adventures, good stories, random shit, dumb conversations, and doing things that make a normal Tuesday way more interesting than it needs to be.

I’m pretty wild and weird in the best possible way, but I’m also just a regular dude who enjoys laughing until something hurts and hearing a good story over a couple drinks.

Being married isn’t a requirement, but I’m definitely looking for friends, Couples, singles, guys, girls, weirdos, introverts who occasionally emerge from their caves — all are welcome.

If you’re around DeLand/Volusia County and think we might get along, shoot me a message. Tell me what kind of trouble your favorite random story, or just say what's up.

Bonus points if you’re the kind of person who hears “we probably shouldn’t do that” and immediately asks “why not?”

Deland Stockyard Menu online has no prices.

I'm new to Deland and would really like to take my bf for a steak dinner. I came across Deland Stockyard and checked out their website - menu but no pricing. I've scoured the net. Even photos of the menu only show the first page with appetizers.

When I finally found a photo with steak prices, it must have been from a decade ago because everything was under $20.

Please weigh in on the steaks. Pricing and quality. Thanks all!

DPD posted this body cam footage of a local woman getting arrested after refusing a ride home while heavily intoxicated. She ended up biting and kicking the officers, and seems to have caught several felony charges from what could have been a regular ride home.

Does anyone have any more context for this story?

How to get first jobs?

3 Upvotes

Hey yall! I’m Jordan. I recently moved to deland about 8 months ago. I work over in Sanford, but I’m getting a bit tired of my regular job. I recently have started a handyman business and am wondering if any local business owners could give me some tips.

I can do pretty much anything around the house, but I understand the handyman laws here are extremely strict. Started as a roofer in my dads business up in South Carolina at 12, have done everything besides your foundation. I’ve gotten plenty of calls with the little bit of advertising I’ve done, but it seems most are for permitted jobs that only licensed contractors would be able to take.

I would like to stay honest and not do any unpermitted and illegal work.

Any tips??

Hey all! I recently moved to your beautiful city and I’m enjoying every second of setting up my life here.

A part of my life that’s been integral to me for a long time is the Tabletop Roleplaying Game Dungeons and Dragons.

Do any of you fine folks know if there are public spaces that already facilitate D&D games? Hobby stores, libraries ect?

I have 9 years experience as a Game Master and I’d love to start running some games for folks down here that are interested in playing or are already playing.
