Therefore, Zack ordered that the Maurers should remove all the unauthorized fill from the WNCA jurisdictional area as well as from property outside that jurisdiction or pursue an "after-the-fact earthmoving permit" to keep the latter fill in place. He further ordered that the Maurers "complete the restoration plant- ing, monitoring and maintenance plan for the altered shoreline and impacted mangrove swamp habitat," outlined in a county exhibit provided during the hearing. THE OWNERS According to records of the Sarasota County Property Appraiser's Office, the Maurers took title of the Manasota Key parcel on July 17, 2009. They paid $85,000 for it. The sellers were Brian E. Scanlan and Laura J. Scanlan, acting as co-trustees of the BSL Land Trust, which was established on Sept. 29, 2005. The trust's mailing address was in Redington Beach. The Maurers' mailing address was 3315 S.E. 18th Ave., Cape Coral. The Property Appraiser's Office valued the parcel at $63,400 this year, down slightly from $64,100 in 2013. In 2009, the property was assessed at $80,500. % THE SARASOTA News Leader Old school journalism. 21st century delivery.
