High Springs homeowner granted 60 days to obtain after-the-fact permit for mobile-home addition
Summary
Alachua County told the magistrate an add-on to a mobile home at 26924 NW 84th Place lacked a building permit; owner Uvaldo Sanchez said work stopped and requested 60 days to secure designs and permits, which the magistrate granted.
Alachua County code enforcement presented evidence Sept. 5 that an apparent addition to a mobile home at 26924 Northwest 84th Place in High Springs had been constructed without a required building permit. The county said inspections and photographs showed an unpermitted improvement and recommended the respondent obtain an after-the-fact permit or remove unpermitted work.
At the hearing code staff explained that applying for the after-the-fact permit alone would not close the case — the permit must be issued before the county would find the matter in compliance. Uvaldo Sanchez, who stated his name and address for the record, said he had stopped work and was arranging design documents and expected to need about 60 days to obtain the permit. The magistrate granted 60 days for Sanchez to secure the required permit and told him to notify the county once the permit is issued so the officer can inspect and close the matter.
The county sought a daily fine of $100 if the work is not brought into compliance and noted $350 in costs to bring the action to hearing.
