A candidate for Brevard County Commission has filed a harassment complaint against Satellite Beach Police after she said they followed her home Thursday from a condo development just south of Patrick Space Force Base and interrogated her husband outside the couple's home.

Sandra Sullivan of South Patrick Shores, who is running for the District 4 County Commission seat in 2022, says she stood on public easements Tuesday and Thursday when shooting videos of The Vue condominium development. Sullivan has objected to the development over concerns that the building would endanger sea turtles and cause traffic congestion that could hamper hurricane evacuation, issues that city officials say can be mitigated as the project progresses. The developer says Sullivan trespassed, echoed by complaints to the city police on Tuesday and Thursday. Sullivan said the city is trying to intimidate her after she raised questions about the development project. She says the property she was standing on Tuesday is land owned by HP Communities LLC., of El Paso, Texas, not The Vue, which the city's building official confirmed to her via email. And Sullivan said she was standing along State Road A1A on Thursday to document construction activity, before city police officers showed up at her home.

"How can they allege that I trespassed when I didn't leave a state road?" Sullivan said. "I was on a state road and didn't step off a state road. I was standing on A1A."

Satellite Beach City Manager Courtney Barker said the police were just doing their jobs.

"There's no animosity," Barker said of the trespassing claims. "The property owners of The Vue keep calling us. That's what the property owners are telling the police officers. They're just responding to their complaints."

Earlier this year, Sullivan alerted the St. Johns River Water Management District that workers were turning dirt on The Vue site, just north of Shearwater Parkway, without a water management district environmental resources permit.

On Oct. 4, the St. Johns district sent a letter to Adam Facciobene, of Woodshire-Brevard LLC, offering the developer "compliance assistance."

Facciobene was unavailable for comment Friday.

"An inspection was conducted at your project site on September 14, 2021. During this inspection and a review of the file, potential non-compliance was noted," the St. Johns Oct. 4 letter states. "Construction of the project has started prior to issuance of the permit for phase 2. (63.220.020 F.A.C.) The purpose of this letter is to inform you of this violation and to offer you compliance assistance as a means of resolving the issue."

In an Oct. 13 response letter to the district, Facciobene wrote, "With regard to the correspondence dated October 4, 2021. We have discontinued any work covered under the St. Johns Phase 2 permit for The Vue at Satellite Beach and will not proceed further with work covered under this permit until the permit is issued."

Sullivan contests the assertion that construction had ceased.

The Tennessee developer has plans to build The Vue complex, expected to feature a four-star hotel, single-family homes and three condominium buildings at the former Satellite Shores subdivision at the northwest corner of State Road A1A and Shearwater Parkway.

The current concept plan allows the developer to build up to 85 feet high with several hundred condo units.

Sullivan's recent run-ins with local law enforcement also have her concerned about her rights to redress government.

"It is harassment," she added. "Just on the principle of it, it's wrong."
