Contractor: demo finished at Hayden Road property; town says permit fees unpaid

At the Town of Lake Clarke Shores Code Enforcement Board meeting on May 27, a contractor representative said interior demolition at 7011 Hayden Road is complete and private‑provider inspections were performed, but town staff said permit fees and the required uploads to the town portal had not yet been completed.

Eric Mills of Virtual Design Group told the board he had overseen four private‑provider inspections — demo plumbing cap‑off, pressure test, demo electrical cap‑off and a demo final — and that the property owner and contractor had removed debris, patched the roof and stocked materials inside the house so work could resume once the master permit is activated. "I'm gonna check that tomorrow morning first thing with the office and see what happened with that," Mills said about the permit fee status.

Code enforcement and building staff reported they could not find a notice to the building official for private‑provider plan review in the portal and that the remodel/master‑permit fees were still unpaid in the town system. A town staff member said: "When Pamela received it, she went ahead, reviewed all the documents, accepted the documents, sent over the fees to them, and since that date, it's been sitting there. Until they pay, that's when it goes to the building official." Staff said once fees are paid the application will enter the building official's review queue and plan review would follow.

Board members noted an existing compliance deadline of June 24 under a prior order and scheduled a status report at the board's June 17 meeting. Mills said he would bring progress pictures on June 17 and verify payment with the owner the next morning. Town staff said they could expedite review once payment is confirmed.

No final action was taken at the May 27 hearing; the board reserved authority to revisit the item at the June 17 meeting and the July 29 fine‑assessment hearing if payment and permit uploads are not completed.
