It is not qualified by the Florida Building Code to be used as an assembly structure and use. The permit that was submitted for enclosing the utility structure did not include a kitchen assembly and the associated plumbing. It was also noted that a required plumbing permit application nor an amended floor plan was submitted to the Building Department and Fire Department for code compliance review. Therefore, the kitchen assembly is to be removed from the utility structure upon receipt of this letter of violation. Be advised that the Health Department has been informed of this action due to the property being served by a septic tank system. The Fire Department has been informed of the kitchen being installed in the utility structure. The purpose of a Carolina Carport structure is for utility use, such as parking vehicles or storage, and not for any type of human habitation or assembly use. ,J7 C_.. i effery C New 1, Building Official Cityrvf Okeechobee, Florida 2XMI&T- 1J .D`r Exhibit 2 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BUILDING DEPARTMENT 55 SE THIRD A VENUE OKEECHOBEE, FL 34974 Tele: 863-763-3372 Fax: 863-763-1686 December 5, 2023 Church of God of Prophecy 102 NW 10`h Street Okeechobee, FL 34972 W Re: Exceeding the permitted scope of work permit number 2 3 - V- 113 Pastor Mike Bevis: On December 4, 2023, an onsite inspection to the above address by the building department observed a kitchen assembly has been added to the structure.

It was also noted that a required plumbing permit application nor an amended floor plan was submitted to the Building Department and Fire Department for code compliance review. Therefore, the kitchen assembly is to be removed from the utility structure upon receipt of this letter of violation. Be advised that the Health Department has been informed of this action due to the property being served by a septic tank system. The Fire Department has been informed of the kitchen being installed in the utility structure. The purpose of a Carolina Carport structure is for utility use, such as parking vehicles or storage, and not for any type of human habitation or assembly use.

Rev 03/t)I/1010/gpn �1C�Lt Lt ( riC it Exhibit 2 y.OF-OkFFcy o� CITY OF OKEECHOBEE =o OWNER/BUILDER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (Florida Statute 489.103 (7)) BY SIGNING THIS STATEMENT, I ATTEST THAT: (initial to the left of each statement. Form is two-sided) I understand that state law requires construction to be done by a licensed contractor and have applied for an owner -builder permit under an exemption from the law. The exemption specifies that I, as the owner of the property listed, may act as my own contractor with certain restrictions even though I do not have a license. I understand that building permits are not required to be signed by a property owner unless h or she is responsible for the construction and is not hiring a licensed contractor to assume 1 yq responsibility. I understand that, as an owner -builder, I am the responsible party of record on a permit. I understand that 1 may protect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name instead of my own name. I also understand that a contractor is required by law to be licensed in Florida. and to list his or her license numbers on all permit and contracts. I understand that I may build or improve a one -family or two-family residence or a farm outbuilding. I may also build or improve a commercial building if the costs do not exceed r� $75,000. The building or residence must be for my own use or occupancy. It may not be built or substantially improved for sale or lease. If a building or residence that I have built or substantially improved myself is sold or leased wiithin in 1 year after the construction is complete, the law will presume that I built or substantially improved it for sale or lease, which violates this exemption. I understand_, that, as the owner -builder, 1 must provide direct, onsite supervision of th Lire construction. I understand that I may not hire an unlicensed individual person to act as my contractor or t �., supervise persons working on my building or residence. It is my responsibility to ensure tha the persons whom I employ have the licenses required by law and by City ordinance. 1 understand that it is frequent practice of unlicensed persons to have the property owner d obtain an owner -builder permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his a or her own labor and materials. I, as an owner -builder, may be held liable and subjected to serious financial risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed person or his or her employees while working on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I am willfully acting as an owner -builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my property. 1 understand that 1 may not delegate the responsibility for supervising work to a licensed e� contractor who is not licensed to perform the work being done. Any person working on my ° building who is not licensed must work under my dir�act supervision and must be employed by me, which means that I must comply with laws requiing the withholding of federal income tax and social security contributions under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and must provide workers' compensation for the employee. 1 understand that my failure to follow these laws may subject me to serious financial risk. Rev 03-05-1020/gpn ky'J4161—uPIc Exhibit 2 I agree that, as the party legally and financially responsible for this proposed construction activity, I will abide by all applicable laws and requirements that govern owner -builders as well ` i) as employers. I also understand that the construction must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes, and zoning regulations. cJ I am aware of construction practices and I have access to the Florida Building Code. I understand that I may obtain more information regarding my obligations as an employer from the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Small Business Administration, the Florida r� Department of Financial Services, and the Florida Department of Revenue. I also understand that I may contact the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board at 1-850-487-1395 or at www.myflorida.com/dbpr/pro/cilb/ for more information about licensed contractors. I am aware of, and consent to, an owner -builder building permit applied for in my name an !;I understand that I am the party legally and financially responsible for the proposed constructio activity at the address listed below. -. I agree to notify the City of Okeechobee Building Department immediately of any additions / aJ deletions, or changes to any of the information that 1 have provided on this disclosure or in th permit. application package. Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If you contract with a person who does not have a license, the Construction Industry Licensing Board, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the building department may be unable to assist you with any financial loss that you sustain as a result of a complaint. Your only remedy against an unlicensed contractor may be in civil court. It is also important for you to understand that, if an unlicensed contractor or employee of an individual or firm is injured while working on your property, you may be held liable for damages. If you obtain an owner - builder permit and wish to hire a licensed contractor, you will be responsible for verifying wheiher the contractor is property licensed and the status of the contractor's worl<ers' compensation coverage. dress: do hereby state that I am qualified and (PIC-0 Pdm N-0) capable of performing the requested construction involved with the permit application filed and agree to the conditions specifie above.

A Contractor I, Contractor II, or Contractor IV, certified under Sec- tion 633.521, Florida Statutes, may design a fire sprinkler system of 49 or fewer heads and may design the alteration of an existing fire sprinkler system if the alteration consists of the relocation, addition or dele- tion of not more than 49 heads, notwithstanding the size of the existing fire sprinkler system. 3. Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning documents for any new building or addition which requires more than a 15-ton-per-system capacity which is designed to accommodate 100 or more persons or for which the system costs more than $125,000. This paragraph does not include any document for the replacement or repair of an existing system in which the work does not require altering a structural part of the building or for work on a residential one-, two-, three- or four -family structure. An air-conditioning system may be designed by an : installing air-conditioning contractor certified under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, to serve any building or addition which is designed to accommodate fewer than 100 persons and requires an air-conditioning system with a value of $125,000 or less; and when a 15-ton-per-system or less is designed for a singular space of a building and each 15-ton system or less has an independent duct system. Systems not complying with the above require design documents that are to be : sealed by a professional engineer. _ Example 1: When a space has two 10-ton systems, with each having an independent duct system, the contractor may design these two systems since each unit (system) is less than 15 tons. Example 2: Consider a small single -story office building which consists of six individual offices where each office has a single three -ton package air conditioning heat pump. The six heat pumps are con- nected to a single water cooling tower. The cost of the entire heating, ventilation and air-conditioning work is $47,000 and the office building accommodates fewer than 100 persons. Because the six mechanical units are connected to a common water tower, this is considered to be an 18-ton system. It therefore could not be designed by a mechanical or air conditioning contractor. NOTE: It was further clarified by the Commission that the limiting criteria of 100 persons and $125,000 apply to the building occupancy load and the cost for the total air-conditioning system of the building. 4. Any specialized mechanical, electrical, or plumbing document for any new building or addition which includes a medical gas, oxygen, steam, vacuum, toxic air filtration, halon, or fire detection and alarm sys- tem which costs more than $5,000. 5. Electrical documents. See Florida Statutes 471.003(2)(h). Documents requiring an engineer seat by this part : shall not be valid unless a professional engineer who possesses a valid certificate of registration has signed, dated, and stamped such document as provided in Section 471.025, Florida Statutes. 105.3.2 Time limitation of application. An application for a permit for any proposed work shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of filing, unless such application has been pursued in good faith or a permit has been issued; except that the building official is authorized to grant one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. 1.5 SCOPE AND ADMINISTRATION Exhibit 2 105.3.3 An enforcing authority may not issue a building permit for any building construction, erection, alteration, modification, repair or addition unless the permit either includes on its face or there is attached to the permit the fol- lowing statement: "NOTICE: In addition to the require- ments of this permit, there may be additional restrictions applicable to this property that may be found in the public records of this county, and there may be additional permits required from other governmental entities such as water management districts, state agencies, or federal agencies." 4f 105.3.4 A building permit for a single-family residential dwelling must be issued within 30 working days of applica- tion therefor unless unusual circumstances require a longer time for processing the application or unless the permit application fails to satisfy the Florida Building Code or the enforcing agency's laws or ordinances. 105.3.5 Identification of minimum premium policy. Except as otherwise provided in Chapter 440, Florida Stat- utes, Workers' Compensation, every employer shall, as a condition to receiving a building permit, show proof that it has secured compensation for its employees as provided in Section 440.10 and 440.38, Florida Statutes. 105.3.6 Asbestos removal.

'I•hc permitting awency ,hall providc the person a ilh it diN- closure statement in substantially the following form: Disclosure Statement: State law requires asbestos abate- ment to be done by licensed contractors. You have applied for a permit under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you, as the owner of your property, to act as your own asbestos abatement contractor even though you do not have a license. You must supervise the construction yourself'. You may move, remove or dispose of asbestos -containing mate- rials on a residential building where you occupy the build- i ng and the bui Iding is not for sale or lease, or the building is a farm outbuilding on your property. If you sell or lease such building within I year after the asbestos abatement is complete, the law will presume that you intended to sell or lease the property at the time the work was done, which is a violation of this exemption. You may not hire an unlicensed person as your contractor. Your work must be done accord- ing to all local, state and federal laws and regulations which apply to asbestos abatement projects. It is your responsibil- ity to make sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. 105.3.7 Applicable Code for Manufactured Buildings.

However, the construction activity must commence within 6 months of the contract's execution. The contract is subject to verification by the Department of Community Affairs. 105.4 Conditions of the permit. 105.4.1 Permit intent.
