He informed me that he did not, but he would be calling someone (did not indicate who) to have them contact the Town for any necessary permits.
Just an update on the wall issue (see below). The Property Record Card shows the owner of the lot as The Village of Lake-Sumter, Inc. It is a platted residential lot and no improvements are shown on it. Staff is still looking into this and I will keep you posted.
Just to give you an update on the wall at Paradise. spoke with a Randy Thompson earlier (around lunch time) from AgeWave Solutions. He was inquiring about what would be required to remove the improvements on the property at 1157 Paradise Drive so that a single family residence could be put on the lot, just inquiries at this point. I requested to see the survey that he had so that I could share it with the building official to determine the scope of what would be removed, permits, etc. While it appears that the land upon which the wall was erected is in the Town, when I receive this survey I will be able to confirm that with greater certainty.
To date there are no permits filed for the wall that was constructed, nor have any demolition permits or other permits affiliated with new construction of a residence on the property. I have also verified this morning that Sumter County was not approached about permitting of the wall, nor would they be able to permit it anyway as they felt it was in the Town as well. Sam Wartinbee stated that the district had nothing to do with the wall. The image below shows the property line. The farthest line to the left is western boundary of the VCCDD tract, also being the county boundary. Unable to locate any Lady Lake permits for the existing improvements in the property.

I'm a little confused about this post. Are you saying that someone is looking at building a house on the golf cart access lot, or is someone looking to remove the existing structure at 1157 Paradise and build a new home?
