Property owner disputes harassment claims, defends city-issued permits
Summary
A Rowlett property owner disputed accusations from a neighbor, said the permit was correctly issued and that he complied with requirements, and described what he called years of harassment and repetitive complaints to the city.
Mark Tashic told the council he obtained permits from the city and complied with inspection requirements for structures on his property, disputing a neighbor's claims that the city was making an exception for him. "The city council legally passed the ordinance, city staff issued the permit and I complied with the requirements," he said, adding that the complaints reflect a five-year history of harassment.
Mark listed examples he described as minor or common across the neighborhood—small storage panels, kayaks, and yard debris—and said multiple callers had repeatedly involved city resources. Two other neighbors, including Dan Haney and John Parigi, supported Mark's account and urged an end to the ongoing conflict, with Parigi noting he helped move trees and assist the property owner in meeting requirements.
The council heard both sides during citizen input; there was no staff report or vote, and the session moved on to other agenda items.
