ABUTTING AND IN THE VICINITY OF 3940 DOUGLAS ROAD FOR RELIEF FROM CODE
VIOLATIONS, DAP'1AGE AND PUBLIC NUISANCE CREATED BY THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY
AT 3940 DOUGLAS ROAD.
We ask that Tne City Commission investigate, inspect and inquire into the
activities at 3940 Douglas Road which are outlined below and apply such
remedies and relief as City, County and State laws and regulations may provide.
We feel that the following activities have damaged us, reduced the value
of our properties, and have - and are continuing to - cause us pain, annoyance
and interruption i n our normal lives- Specifically, the owners of the
property at 3940 Douglas Road, or their employees or agents, have done the
following :
1. Constructed a wall along most of their property line in excess of
eight feet without proper permits.
2. During the wall construction, without prior notice or permission,
trespassed on adjacent and abutting property, and cut down at least one tree,
a Surinam Cherry having a base diameter in excess of eight inches on the
property at 3941 Midway Street.
3. Failed to observe proper setbacks in their construction of buildings,
additions to buildings, animas cages and other paraphernalia.
4. Installed massive night lighting ryhich shines into neighbouring homes
at all hours of darkness.
5. Introduced and maintained on the property at 3940 Douglas Road all
manner of ;-gild, erotic and dangerous animals not native to this region.
These animals include or have included large wild animals of the cat family
which appear to be lions, panthers, cheetahs, ring tailed lemurs, monkeys and
apes, large snakes, and wild birds. These animals, in addition to being
potentially dangerous, are constantly noisy at dawn and dusk for several hours,
and some time all day when not attended. They also make a disgusting odor,
especially in warm damp weather.
6. Maintained armed men on the premesis who, at least on one occasion,
threatened neighbours across the wall with guns.

Attempts to contact the owners have been unsuccessful, The only gates
to the property at 3940 Douglas Road are kept: locked and there is no call
bell or intercommunications system. The listed property owner, A Mr. Mario
Tabraue, maintains an unlisted telephone number and is not present on the
property. More than forty calls to the police since August 1983 have produced
no relief from our complaints. The Miami Police Case Number for orb of these
complaints is 124-3793-I.
A complaint by letter to His Honor Mayor Ferre dated 7 April 1984 was
responded to quickly and efficiently by Miami City Inspection Services Division
Chief Luis M. Jimenez, who replied to one of the abutting property owners
by letter 1 May 1984. But Mr. Jimenez` letter is disturbing because it
includes the following,
"4.- We must have copies of all the required documentation allowing them
to maintain exotic animals on their peoperty."
We believe it is against the public interest to allow the exotic animals
above -cited to be allowed in a residential area of Miami.
We respectfully ask the City Commission to investigate this matter and
act to remove all offending animals and remedy all zoning violations.
