6037 Otis Road
Chapter 105.1, Florida Building Code - Permit Required
(No permit on file for enclosed carport)
Lien Specialist Cindi Bassett stated for the record that the Notice of Mandatory Hearing was sent certified
mail on 06/18/15; 06/18/15; sent via email 06/18/15; posted on property 06/19/15; and posted in City Hall
on 06/18/15.
Special Magistrate Robinson noted that this case was continued from the May 28, 2015 Code
Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing to enable time to review all submitted evidence prior to
rendering a decision.
Special Magistrate stated the following for the record: and subsequently read the following Order into the
record regarding Case No. 15-1619/6037 Otis Road:
I received sworn testimony at the Hearing on May 28, 2015. 1 received a number of documents that were
submitted, some by the City, mostly by the property owner. I have read all of those documents; in
addition I looked at North Port City Code. In Code Enforcement cases the City has the burden of proof to
show by a preponderance of the evidence that a violation does exist and that the violator has committed or
responsible for maintaining or allowing the violation to continue per Section 2-508 (C) of the North Port
City Code. In this case the specific charge that was levied was that the owners had maintained or allowed
to maintain an enclosed space without having obtained a proper building permit to enclose that carport.
There were no other violations that were brought as a result of this case, including the issue of the
bathroom or the shower. So based upon the testimony and written evidence I make the following findings
of facts:
The property address is 6037 Otis Road, North Port, Florida. The property was sold by Deborah
Squires to Brelee Holdings, LLC on approximately June 5, 2014. The house was constructed in
approximately 1969, based upon the records of the Sarasota County Property Appraiser. The City
of North Port did not have a Building Department or Land Use Department until approximately
1984 and those services were provided by, prior to that day, Sarasota County. Sarasota County
no longer maintains records such as building permits dating back to that time in which those
services were handled on behalf of the City of North Port. The house was owned at one time by

Catholic Priest Father Joseph Dugan, while he was the Parish Priest at San Pedro Catholic Church
in North Port. There were newspaper articles that allowed me to establish the approximate time
frame that he was here, actually he as the very first one to operate here as a Parish, and that was
actually before San Pedro was actually constructed. The records of the Sarasota County Property
Appraiser indicate that the effective year build of the property is 1986. It is not clear to me why it
says 1986, but there are drawings which are part of the Sarasota County Property Appraiser's
records concerning this property which reflect that the space at issue is shown as being as part of
drawings or diagrams. There is hearsay testimony from a third party contractor that such
drawings would not have been verified by the Property Appraiser's office unless a building
permit had been issued. Prior owner of the property, Deborah Squire owned the home from
approximately 1997 to 2014 when it was sold to Brelee Holdings, LLC. Further she rented the
property from 1990 to 1997. The Affidavit submitted by Ms. Squires indicates that the space in
question has always been enclosed since the time of her occupation, which takes us back to at
least 1990 and has always been utilized as a 4 h bedroom. The only work Ms. Squires indicated in
her Affidavit that she did to it was the unpermitted installation of a bathroom which is not at issue
in this case. In addition there is hearsay evidence that Father Joseph Dugan enclosed the garage
to create an office for the purpose of receiving parishioners at his home, but there is no other
collaborating evidence to that effect, just his statement from the phone call made to Father
Dugan, and he did not testify. Real Estate listings for this property indicate that renovations, but
not specifically what renovations, were done to the property in approximately 1981. So based
upon all of that I find that the City of North Port has not met its burden by a preponderance of the
evidence to show that the carport in question was enclosed without an appropriate building
permit. The City did not perform building inspection services prior to 1984 and any records
which may exist for that time period from Sarasota County have either been lost or destroyed.
Record evidence from the Sarasota County Property Appraiser's office together with drawings
and diagrams of the property indicate that some renovations were done between 1981 and 1986.
The plans or diagrams reflect the space in question as being enclosed and a part of the structure.
Written evidence of the phone call from Father Dugan concerning this matter is hearsay and
cannot be used for the purpose of formulating a finding of fact, but it can be used to collaborate
already established facts. So, the facts that are established is that some form of renovations were
done to the property between 1981 and 1986 and hearsay testimony from Father Dugan as to what
he did would collaborate that fact. It appears to me that based upon the records of the Sarasota
County Property Appraiser's office some form of renovation was done to the property at a time
prior to the City of North Port handling its own building permits. There is no further evidence to
substantiate that a building permit was in fact not obtained for the purpose in closing this space.
The specific charge relates only to the failure to obtain a permit to enclose the carport and the
charge is not specific as to what type of use would be allowed within that enclosed space.
Therefore I do not make any determinations with regard to the space originally being closed as an
office and now subsequently used as a bedroom. Further there are no specific alleged violations
concerning the bathroom and therefore I make no determination relative to the issues with the
bathroom. I therefore do not find a violation of Section 105.1 of the Florida Building Code
relative to the enclosure of the carport and will thereafter dismiss the complaint in its entirety.
Recess from 10:01 a.m. to 10:09 a.m.
