Paradise Lane property on November 15, 1993, until the time of
the trial in this case, Ms. Nichols drove by the Paradise Lane
property every day on her way to work. During that period, she
never saw either a for-sale sign or a for-rent sign on that
property.
At some point during 1993, John L. Schultz, Jr. (Mr.
Schultz), a building code enforcement inspector for the City of
Treasure Island throughout 1993 and 1994 and most of 1995,
received a complaint that construction work was being done at the
Paradise Lane property without appropriate building permits. Mr.
Schultz inspected that property and issued a stop work order on
April 5, 1994, with respect to "Changing use of six unit multi-
family to single family residence without permit". Mr. Schultz
also sent a letter by certified mail to Ms. Towles and Mr.
Towles, dated June 29, 1994 (June 29, 1994 letter), regarding
"Multifamily Dwelling, 18 Paradise Lane". That letter stated in
pertinent part:
This letter is to inform you of the status of the
above mentioned property owned by you. The "Stop Work
Order" for construction without permits is still in
effect. The Certified letter explaining your viola-
tions and remedies sent to you on April 19, 1994 was
returned unclaimed.
The above dwelling is and will be considered a
multifamily building with six units. To change from a
six unit multifamily building to a single family res-
idence, appropriate plans and permits must be submit-
ted, approved and completed.
