Magistrate orders permit for converted carport; trustee given 30 days to apply
Summary
A carport and garage converted to living quarters at 15447 San Diego Drive was found to lack required permits; the magistrate ordered the respondent to obtain the necessary building permit by Jan. 2, 2026 or face $250/day fines and assessed administrative costs.
Town staff told the magistrate that CE2542 involves a carport and garage converted into living quarters at 15447 San Diego Drive without required permits. Code compliance testimony traced town contact back to Sept. 27, 2024 and noted earlier related matters. The property’s realtor, Zia Shaukat, said the parcel had been split in May 2024 and that the owner had recently submitted materials and paid fees.
The town said the prior application lapsed and permitting records show denials in 2022–2024. Magistrate Barnard found the respondent in violation of ULDC 05‑040 and Florida Building Code §105.1 for work performed without required permits. Barnard ordered the permit to be obtained by Jan. 2, 2026; failure to comply will trigger a $250/day fine and a fine‑assessment hearing set for Jan. 5, 2026. The magistrate also assessed administrative costs in the amount of $234.05 for the hearing.
