The Year Behind Us & the Year Before Us Another holiday season is here.

89th Street Sings a New Tune as Sid Tepper Street
Dozens of family members, friends, neighbors and Town staff and officials attended a street naming ceremony honoring the late Sid Tepper, a 35-year resident who was famous for writing hundreds of songs, including 50 for Elvis Presley. Sid and his wife Lillian moved to Surfside in 1969 with their five children. His song Red Roses for a Blue Lady, was an international hit that climbed to number 3 on the Billboard charts. Sid was featured as a Surfside Star in the May 2015 Gazette, a month before his passing. Surfside proclaimed his 90th birthday Sid Sid Tepper’s close-knit family pose at the sign, including four of his five children Tepper Day.
Mayor Daniel Dietch welcomes attendees of the ceremony
CODE COMPLIANCE CORNER
Construction Work Days and Hours Did you know that the Town of Surfside has an Ordinance that regulates the days and hours of construction work? All residents, businesses, developers and contractors are required to adhere to and follow the Ordinance requirements. Going forward from the date of the adoption of this new Ordinance, all construction activities that require a building permit, such as electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing and structural work, are restricted to working on Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and are prohibited on Saturdays, Sundays and all federal holidays. There are some exceptions, such as work related to infrastructure and utilities, roadways, other public right-ofway construction, minor repairs and maintenance activities inside of private dwelling units as well as painting with manual tools (no commercial sprayers). The Town Manager may authorize construction activities outside of the established work days and hours on a case-by-case basis. For construction projects over 10,000-square-feet in size or valued over $1 million in cost, contractors are required to post notice signs at the property to state that the property is an active construction site. In addition, the contractor is required to provide contact information for public complaints and concerns. The Town’s Noise Ordinance provides additional rules and regulations as to noise that is generated from construction activities. In general, loud, excessive or continuous noise is prohibited. If you have any questions concerning construction work days and hours, then please contact the Town’s Code Compliance Division by calling (305) 861-4863, extension 230.

Surfsiders Change A Family’s Life with Thanksgiving Gift Last November, Surfside residents Joe and Susan Miranda were watching a Neighbors 4 Neighbors television program profiling the Cosenos family. Neighbors 4 Neighbors is a non-profit organization helping families in South Florida who are in need. The family was struggling with their 8-year-old triplets – Ellie, Gigi and Carmina – all suffering with brain tumors. Because of medical bills, the family had sold much of their belongings, including their second car. Now, the reporter said, the father uses their only car for work and the mother does not have transportation to take the three girls to doctor’s appointments. “My wife and I both looked at each other and we both nodded. We needed to do something, there was no thinking about it,” said Joe Miranda. “I immediately called and left a message.”
Within 24 hours, Joe and Susan donated their used car, a Kia SUV, to the Cosenos. They also paid all the expenses for the family to visit Legoland in Orlando. The family got the good news on Thanksgiving morning. “I was in shock really. I couldn’t believe it,” said the triplets’ mom, Kim Coseno about getting the phone call. “We can get the girls to the doctors now.” Joe put new tires and brakes on the car before handing over the keys to the Cosenos. He also wants to make sure the triplets have a special Christmas this year. “I’m excited about meeting them. It was meant to be,” said Joe. The Coseno family is also overwhelmed by Joe and Susan’s generosity. “We’re blessed and just truly thankful they came into our lives,” added dad Joe Coseno. “We get to meet them and the things they’ve done for us. It’s truly amazing. It’s changed our holiday and our life.”
