[Code Magistrate Hearing on September 18, 2025.]
[00:34:35]
RIGHT? YEAH. IT'S IT'S BEEN PUT IN THE BARN. OTHER SHED? YEAH. IT'S SALVAGED. I'M SORRY. MAYBE
[00:34:41]
I'M NOT OUR BURN PILE BECAUSE I HAVE THE OTHER TWO LOTS ARE BURN PILE IS ON THE NEXT LOT IN[00:34:49]
THE MIDDLE OF A PASTURE. SO HERE'S MY QUESTION. AND I ASK THIS IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY[00:34:56]
POSSIBLE. BUT LIKE YOU SAID, TAKING SOME OF IT DOWN HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU[00:35:03]
GUYS ARE WORKING VERY HARD AND DILIGENTLY TO GET THIS DONE. IS THE REST OF IT REALLY SOMETHING[00:35:10]
YOU'RE CAPABLE OF DOING? YES, MA'AM. THIS LAST PART IS THE EASIER PART. THE OTHER PART HAS[00:35:17]
BEEN THE HARD PART BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THIS LAST PART. WE'RE ALMOST DOWN TO NOTHING BEING[00:35:23]
UNLOADED. AND AS FAR AS THE CERAMIC STUFF THAT CAN GO TO THE DUMP. I MEAN IT BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE NEW. WE LOOKED AROUND, BUT I MEAN, THE KILN AND THE CERAMIC STUFF THAT CAN GO TO THE DUMP. I'M NOT GOING TO, LIKE, KEEP CALLING AND LET IT KEEP SITTING THERE. IT'S JUST THAT WAS SOMETHING WE HADN'T GOTTEN MOVED OUT YET, BUT IT CAN GO TO DUMP ALL THIS ON THE.RIGHT SIDE. LOOKING AT IT, AT IT, ALL OF THAT WAS CHOCK A BLOCK FULL. YEAH. I MEAN, IT WAS FULL, LIKE NO WALKING. YEAH. IT'S ALL BEEN GONE THROUGH. WHAT NEEDED TO GO TO THE BURN PILE IS GONE TO THE BURN PILE. WHAT WAS SALVAGEABLE HAS BEEN SALVAGED AND GONE. IT'S NOT LOCATED THERE. THAT ON THE LEFT IS WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW TO GET BACK AND COME ON AROUND, AND THEN I'LL BRING THE REST OF THAT BACK. THAT YOU SEE THE ROOF THAT'S STILL STANDING.
THERE'S JUST TWO POSTS OF THE 4X4 POST VERTICALS BEHIND THE LADDER. NOW ON BOTH SIDES. YES, MA'AM. THE THE REST OF IT WILL BE NO PROBLEM TO TAKE DOWN. I JUST WANT TO GET THE TOOLS OUT THAT ARE UNDERNEATH THE BACK OF IT AND GET THEM UNDER STORAGE. THAT THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE. BUT NO, WE'RE DOWN TO THE EASY PART NOW. NO, THE OVERHEAD PART AND THE STUFF ON THE SIDE. THAT WAS ALL THE HARD PART. GETTING ALL THAT DOWN. DO WE HAVE ANY PERMITS THAT ARE STANDING AND AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW OR NOW? NO. THEY'RE REQUIRED. EVERYTHING IS FINE.
IT'S FIRED. AND THEY GRANTED THEM THE FINAL AFTER THE FACT. AND IT WAS A FAILURE. SO. OKAY.
YEAH, WE HAVE ONE. WAS A PASS BEFORE ITS EXPIRATION ON NOVEMBER 10TH. RIGHT. BUT THERE'S STILL DEBRIS ON THE MAGISTRATE'S ORDER OF THE FRAME AND THE PORCH. YEAH, WE GOT TOLD TO TO TO BREAK OFF OF THAT AND GET ON THE CONCENTRATE ON THE BARN AND THAT THE MOBILE HOME FRAME IS STILL IT'S AN ONGOING THING. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. JUST BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, IT'S USELESS TO LEAVE IT STANDING LIKE IT IS. THERE'S STILL SOME GOOD LUMBER THERE THAT I'M PLANNING ON SALVAGING. BUT. BUT OUR MAIN FOCUS IS TO GET IT ALL CLEANED UP. I'M NOT.
I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME TRYING TO SALVAGE STUFF. I MEAN, MY MAIN FOCUS IS TO GET ALL THE REST OF IT ALL CLEARED UP AND DONE. YEP. GOOD. WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE HAD TO BE LOOKING AT IT CONSTANTLY AND WORKING ON IT, SO. YES, MA'AM. SO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR RIGHT NOW. WELL, I'M ASKING TO. WELL, THE YOUNG MAN CHARLIE HAD SAID PEOPLE, WHEN THEIR EXTENSION EXPIRES, THEY GET A PERMIT IS FOR ME TO GET A PERMIT TO GET THIS FINISHED. BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN WE WERE HERE AND THERE, THERE WAS DEBRIS AND STUFF IN THE BACK. MR. CHARLES HOLLAND HAD HAD ON THE PROPERTY.
LIKE I SAID, ALL THIS HAS BEEN THERE LIKE 30 YEARS. I GOT A BOBCAT AND WE USED THAT FOR A MONTH, AND THAT WAS EXPENSIVE. AND I GOT. CONEX BOX, A CONTAINER BOX THAT I GOT APPROVED ON THE OTHER PROPERTY TO PUT BARN STUFF IN. SO I HAVE HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $10,000 OUT OF MY OWN MONEY. I DIDN'T INHERIT MONEY WITH THE PROPERTY. SO I HAVE SPENT MONEY GETTING THIS DONE. SO I'M JUST ASKING FOR A PERMIT SO WE CAN GET IT FINISHED, BECAUSE FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO KEEP. THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS I'VE GOT. I DON'T ISSUE THE PERMITS. OKAY. OKAY.
SO I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL SAY YES OR NO TO A PERMANENT APPLICANT. YES, MA'AM.
THEY MAY LOOK AT THE FACT THAT THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SO LONG, AND IT'S BEEN SO MANY EXTENSIONS ALREADY, AND THEY'VE DONE A FINAL INSPECTION AND SAID NO GO. THEY MAY NOT ISSUE ANOTHER PERMIT. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING, HOW MUCH OF THIS CAN WE REALLY FORESEE GETTING DONE IF WE WERE TO EVEN GET A PERMIT? OKAY, WELL, WE CAN GET IT ALL DONE. RIGHT. OKAY. THE
[00:40:07]
BIGGEST THING IS IT'S TIME. I'M NOT 24, 25 YEARS OLD ANYMORE, SO. WELL, SHE KNOWS. WE KNOW ALL THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, ALL THAT. IT'S JUST THAT THAT'S JUST. AND AS I SAID, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT DILIGENTLY AND CONTINUE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO. OKAY. GIVE ME ONE SECOND.CODE ENFORCEMENT. DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION ON THIS PROPERTY? I DO. AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CASE WENT BEFORE YOU ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. SO. MY RECOMMENDATION, OUR PRE BID AND I'M GOING TO SAY THIS TO OUR PRE BID IS OCTOBER 22ND 22ND. OKAY. WHICH JUST SHY OF 45 DAYS RIGHT. ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN GET DONE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WILL HELP REDUCE THE COST. IF WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP. SO. I WOULD LIKE TO THAT FOR YOU TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. THAT THEY'VE BEEN GIVEN ADEQUATE TIME TO CORRECT THIS VIOLATION. THAT THE MAGISTRATE AUTHORIZES US TO. HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO ENTER ONTO THE PROPERTY AND ABATE THE VIOLATION IN THIS ORDER, AND THAT UPON RECORDING OF THIS ORDER AND PUBLIC RECORD, THE BAY COUNTY, FLORIDA, THE COST LEVIED AGAINST THE RESPONDENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND ON WHICH THE VIOLATION EXISTED AGAINST ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT, AND THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY ASSESS THE COSTS OF ABATING THE VIOLATION AGAINST THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT ACT AND CHAPTER 21 OF BAY COUNTY CODE. AND AGAIN, IF THE PROPERTY IS CLEANED UP BY THE OCTOBER 22ND, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO ABATE THE NUISANCE, BUT TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL. ADDITIONAL TIME AFTER HAVING NEARLY A YEAR AND A HALF TO DO IT. PERMIT AS FAR AS THE PERMIT WITH THE AUTHORIZE THE PERMIT FOR 45 DAYS. WHICH ARE THAT EXPIRES ON THE 22ND OF OCTOBER. SO THE DAY OF OUR PRE BID. IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE DEMOLISHING MY MY THOUGHT IS IS THAT AT THIS POINT THE THE COST IS GOING TO BE MORE IN THE DEBRIS THAN THE ACTUAL DEMOLITION. SCOTT MAY HAVE A SECOND OPINION ON THAT, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE DEBRIS THAN DEMOLITION WORK.
MAY I SAY SOMETHING WHEN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. WE DID HAVE A PERMIT ON A ROOF THAT HAD TO BE FIXED ON THE OTHER LOT, AND WE HAD MENTIONED THAT AND THE MAGISTRATE AND THAT WAS ABOUT 700FT■!S OF ROOF. IT WASN'T LIKA LITTLE BITTY PATCH. AND WE HAD TO WORK ON THAT AND GET ALL THE LATH REPLACED AND THE STRONG BACK ON THAT. AND WE WORKED ON THAT AND GOT THAT PASSED AND THAT PASSED FINAL. AND THEN WE MOVED ON TO THE MOBILE HOME AND THE BARN. AND PLUS BEFORE THAT WE HAD THERE WAS A STORAGE BUILDING THAT HAD TO BE. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OTHER THINGS CONSTANTLY. AND THAT'S WHY THE YEAR AND A HALF HAS SEEMED THAT LONG, BECAUSE IT INVOLVED US HAVING TO GET THESE OTHER THINGS COMPLETED. IT WASN'T JUST WORKING ON THE MOBILE HOME AND JUST THE BARN. THERE WERE OTHER ITEMS INVOLVED.
YEAH, THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS INVOLVED, AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO AND WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS EVEN TRYING TO DO, IS STOP YOU FROM HAVING TO SPEND TIME WITH ME AND DEAL WITH THIS STUFF THAT WAY AND GET IT DONE AND OVER WITH, SO IT GETS PUT BEHIND YOU SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH SEEING IT ALL THE TIME. SO WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IS THAT THE PRE-BID WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 22ND. THAT GIVES YOU ALMOST 40, I JUST COUNTED, I THINK IT'S 41 DAYS FROM TODAY'S DATE TO GO AHEAD AND DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, OR YOU WANT TO ON THAT PROPERTY, AND THAT WAY YOU CAN DETERMINE HOW MUCH CAN GET DONE. CODE ENFORCEMENT. WHAT
[00:45:03]
I'LL DO IS ORDER CODE ENFORCEMENT TO RELEASE ANY HOLD ON ANY PERMITS FOR 45 OR UNTIL OCTOBER 22ND, THE DATE OF THE ACTUAL PRE-BID INSPECTION. SO AGAIN, ANY WORK YOU DO UNTIL THEN, THAT'S AFTER THE OCTOBER 17TH AND 18TH DATE OF THE LANDFILL, ALLOWING STUFF TO BE DROPPED OFF THERE. ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF SO THAT CAN BE CLEANED, TAKEN OUT OF THERE, ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DONE ON THE 22ND OF OCTOBER WHEN THEY COME DO THAT PRE BID WOULD SAVE YOU FROM HAVING TO HAVE THEM DO THAT WORK. SO THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION AT THIS POINT IN TIME MY ORDER AT THIS POINT. SO WE WOULD PUT EVERYTHING UNTIL OCTOBER 22ND THAT WOULD LET YOU GUYS DO YOUR INSPECTION THEN ALLOW YOU TO OPEN UP THE PERMIT. BUT THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE I WOULD RUN WHEN YOU LEAVE HERE STRAIGHT TO THE BUILDING PERMIT DEPARTMENT. AND IF YOU NEED A PERMIT, GET THE APPLICATION DONE SO YOU CAN GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF ASAP. OKAY. A PERMIT TO WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET RID OF WHATEVER OTHER TRASH IS THERE AND WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED ON THE PROPERTY. SO IT WOULD BE AN EXTENSION.IT'S GOING TO BE A 45 DAY EXTENSION. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. COULD YOU WRITE THAT DOWN SO THAT THEY CAN. WELL, WELL, WE HAVE TO APPROVE OR YOU YOU CALL IT IN OR WHATEVER. SO. YEAH.
OKAY. MY ORDER WILL TELL CODE ENFORCEMENT TO APPROVE AND ALLOW THAT. NOW, LET ME ASK YOU IF SOMETHING REMAINS AFTER THE 45 DAYS, THEN WHAT YOU'LL HAVE, THEY'LL STOP THE PERMIT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. BUT ON OCTOBER 22ND IS WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO DO THEIR PRE-BID INSPECTIONS.
SO THEY'LL INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND SEE WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE PROPERTY AND MAKE A COST ANALYSIS AT THAT POINT, WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST AND WHAT NEEDS TO STILL BE DONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY. AND WOULD IT BE SO WOULD I NEED A PERMIT TO MOVE ANYTHING OFF THE PROPERTY LIKE THE TRAVEL TRAILERS OR ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE DEMOLITION? NO, JUST THE ONLY THING YOU NEED IS TO RENEW THE DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR THE BARN.
ANYTHING THAT IS LEFT ON THE PROPERTY BY OCTOBER 22ND, THE COUNTY WILL ABATE IT AT THAT POINT. WE'LL CLEAN IT. WE'LL FINISH CLEANING IT. OKAY. WELL, OKAY. BUT. SO I. OKAY. I CAN'T GET A CLEANING UP. SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE I CAN MOVE MYSELF, I CAN MOVE THAT MYSELF. UNTIL OCTOBER 22ND. YES. OKAY. BUT AT THAT POINT, I CAN'T MOVE THE TRAVEL TRAILER AFTER THAT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP YOU FROM MOVING IT. OKAY? OBVIOUSLY. BUT ON OCTOBER 22ND, WE'LL BE BRINGING OUR CONTRACTORS OUT TO GIVE US A BID ON TO CLEAN WHAT'S ON THE PROPERTY. OKAY. OKAY. AT THE TRAVEL TRAILER IS A TOWABLE. IT WILL BE TOWED AND IMPOUNDED.
AND YOU CAN PICKED UP FROM THE IF YOU WANTED. BUT THAT'S OCTOBER 22ND. THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US THE. AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY SHOW UP TO START CLEANING. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL WE'LL WE'RE GOING TO KEEP WORKING AT IT LIKE WE HAVE BEEN. AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. SO. WELL WE APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. ALRIGHT.
ARE YOU I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW THAT WE KNEW. SCOTT, CAN YOU WALK OVER WITH THEM AND 20S? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THAT CONCLUDES THIS HEARING ON LETTER B ON THE AGENDA. IT'S CODE ENFORCEMENT. CASE 20 2-00206. PROPERTY ADDRESS 13010 SPRING HILL ROAD. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ONE IS LETTER E, AGENDA. PROPERTY ADDRESSES 8139 BRANDON ROAD. PARCEL NUMBER 32595000000. THIS IS A REQUEST SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT. OKAY.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION? COME ON UP. GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, SIR. BENJAMIN DIZOGLIO, I RESIDE AT 1150 AINSWORTH DRIVE, CHIPLEY, FLORIDA. 32428. EIGHT. TELL ME WHY I NEED TO KNOW. THERE'S A THERE'S A THIS PROPERTY IS IN AN LLC NAME, ALONG WITH ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING. AND THERE'S
[00:50:05]
A LIEN AGAINST IT THAT I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT FROM, I GUESS FROM MY GRANDMOTHER HAD SOME ISSUES WITH COUNTY WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BACK IN 2019. THIS THIS PROPERTY, THE ONE ONE OR THE 8139 RANDOM ROAD, ALONG WITH THE OTHER VACANT PROPERTY ON THE BEACH, WHICH ADDRESS WOULD BE 98 GULF BOULEVARD, PANAMA CITY BEACH. THEY'VE BOTH GONE THROUGH PROBATE AND THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP IN PROBATE. IT WAS NEVER PUT AGAINST THE ESTATE OR ANYTHING. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO RECORDS OF THE LLC BEING NAMED IN THE IN THE THE WHAT? I'VE READ WHAT WAS SENT TO ME. IT WAS JUST MY GRANDMOTHER. THE TRIP I'VE GOT IN FRONT OF ME SAYS TRIPLE C THREE LLC. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT ORDER. THE ORDER THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE TITLE COMPANY SAID JUST SAID KATHLEEN COSTLEY. IT DIDN'T SAY TRIPLE C THREE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN THAT WHAT WHAT DATE THAT IS? I THINK IT WAS 2019. LET ME SEE. OCTOBER 3RD, 19. OKAY. IS SHE IN THE IN THAT TIME FRAME? SHE WAS GOING THROUGH AGGRESSIVE CHEMO AS SHE ENDED UP SUCCUMBING TO JUST JUST AFTER THAT. WHAT I'M ASKING TODAY. I'M HERE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS THIS IS NEW TO ME. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THESE FINES WERE THERE OR THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS INTEREST.THAT'S A THIS $400 FINES ACCUMULATED TO LIKE $60,000 LIEN ON ON THE PROPERTY. I'M ASKING TODAY THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT, THE COURT WOULD DISMISS THESE THESE INTEREST AND THE FINE AND ANY ARREARAGES. AND THE TITLE COMPANY MENTIONED ANY OF THIS TO YOU, MA'AM? TITLE COMPANY NEVER MENTIONED ANY OF THIS. THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO. WAS THROUGH THE TITLE COMPANY. BUT WHAT THE TITLE COMPANY GIVE ME DIDN'T HAVE TRIPLE C THREE. WHAT THEY PULLED UP JUST HAD MY GRANDMOTHER'S INFO ON IT. THERE WAS THERE WAS TWO SEPARATE CASES. AND 2019. THE PROPERTY WAS IN MARY KATHLEEN COSTLEY'S NAME. AND SO THE ORDER. THAT'S THE FIRST ORDER. THE SECOND ORDER IS BECAUSE AFTER THAT THEY TRANSFERRED IT TO TRIPLE C THREE. SO THAT'S THE SECOND ORDER. YEAH. SO POSSIBLE THAT THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THEY GAVE YOU WAS THE ONE WITH YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S NAME ON IT. YEAH.
YEAH. EITHER WAY, I DIDN'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EITHER ONE OF THEM. I KNEW THERE WERE. I KNOW THERE'S ONGOING. THERE WAS. AND THERE STILL IS ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE WITH THE COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT AND MY GRANDMOTHER. I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF HER ESTATE. WAS HER POWER OF ATTORNEY PRIOR TO HER PASSING. AND AND THE FULL RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE NOW, WHICH THERE ISN'T THE ALL THE ESTATE HAS GONE THROUGH PROBATE. AND LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS NEVER I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WASN'T BROUGHT UP IN PROBATE WHEN WHEN IT WENT, WHEN IT WENT THROUGH. I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT BOTH OF THE ORDERS, SOMEONE APPEARED ON BEHALF OF THE ACTUALLY THE OWNER OF HERE. YES. SHE WASN'T DEAD AT THAT POINT. WELL, BOTH OF THE ORDERS SHOWED THAT SOMEBODY APPEARED. BOTH THE ONE. YEAH. SHE SHE PASSED AWAY IN IN IN 21. OKAY. WELL, THE FIRST ONE IN AGAINST MARY COSTLEY, SHE APPEARED AND THEN THE SECOND ONE AGAINST TRIPLE C THREE LLC. SOMEONE APPEARED. WHAT? WHAT DATE WAS THAT OR WHAT YEAR? DATE DOES THAT STILL 2019? 19. YEAH. SHE PROBABLY. I'M SURE SHE APPEARED AT BOTH OF THEM. I INHERITED ALL OF THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT STUFF. IT WASN'T. SOMEBODY SAID EARLIER THEY THEY DIDN'T INHERIT ANY MONEY. THEY INHERITED PROPERTY. I INHERITED A HEADACHE AND BILLS. BUT WITH THAT, THERE'S THERE'S NO MENTION OF THE 98 GULF BOULEVARD ANYWHERE. THAT'S THE PROPERTY MORE SPECIFICALLY THAT I'M I'M REFERRING TO THAT I HAVE THAT PROPERTY. RIGHT.
BUT THE LIEN IS ATTACHED TO THAT PROPERTY. I'M ASKING THAT THE COURT WOULD, WOULD, WOULD,
[00:55:07]
WOULD FORGIVE ALL ARREARAGES TO THAT $60,000 FINE THAT THAT I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT. AND I'M SURE MY GRANDMOTHER, I MEAN, OUTSIDE OF HER GOING THROUGH AGGRESSIVE TREATMENT IN THAT TIME FRAME, SHE WAS SHE MAY HAVE BEEN VERY HARD TO GET ALONG WITH SOMETIMES, BUT BUT SHE WOULD DEFINITELY. SHE WAS TACTFUL WAY. YES, MA'AM. THAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET ALONG WITH. YES, MA'AM. BUT BUT SHE BUT SHE SHE WAS. IF THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK IS WITH THE WITH THE FINE BEING AS MINIMAL AS IT WAS TO START WITH, IS HER HER CANCER TREATMENTS PROBABLY.I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE WHY THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PAID. AND THEN. YEAH, IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS THE DAILY FINE THAT YES TO COMPLY AND BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE AND SAID THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT HIS RAISED QUITE A BIT. IT'S NOT EVEN THE INITIAL FINE. IT'S THE FACT THAT FOR 779 DAYS. YES, MA'AM. DAILY FINE ASSESSED. IF I READ THAT CORRECTLY I DID READ WHERE WHERE IT SAID THAT THAT THE COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT RECOGNIZED THAT SHE COME IN COMPLIANCE WITH AT SOME POINT, WHENEVER THAT WAS, WITH WHAT THEY WERE ASKING. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF DISCREPANCY IN THAT WHOLE ISSUE, AND AN ONGOING LAWSUIT BETWEEN THE ESTATE AND THE COUNTY CONCERNING A LOT OF THIS, BUT I'M JUST HERE TODAY SPECIFICALLY TO ASK THAT THE. THAT THE THAT THE COURT WOULD SEE IT FAVORABLE TO, TO DISMISS THOSE ARREARAGES AND THOSE DAILY FINES AT MINIMUM, AT LEAST TO THE APPROPRIATE ORIGINAL FINE AND ALLOW US TO PAY THAT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY STATED FOR THE $400 OR SOMETHING AND SOME CHANGE, AND I THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE ADDED TO IT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO BE DISMISSED AS WELL, BUT WOULD IT AT LEAST TO THAT IF IF THAT WOULD PLEASE THE COURT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. AND LIKE I SAID, IF WE WOULD HAVE WHEN THIS WENT THROUGH PROBATE, IF IT WOULD HAVE EVER GOT BROUGHT UP TO GET ADDED TO ANY KIND OF SUIT AGAINST THE STATE, THE ESTATE ITSELF, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE GLADLY TAKEN CARE OF IT, YOU KNOW, THEN. BUT THIS HASN'T IT. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WHEN IT WENT OUT THROUGH THE ESTATE THAT THE COUNTY DID TO ADDRESS THE ESTATE ITSELF DURING THE PROBATE PERIOD, AND I BELIEVE.
IT WAS JULIE SMITH WHO DID THE PROBATE FOR US. AND SHE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WENT, I WANT TO SAY THE PROBATE CLOSED IN 2023, MAYBE THE END OF 2022, 2023. I COULD GET THOSE EXACT DATES FOR YOU, IF NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT I COULD COME BACK IF YOU SEE THAT WOULD BE FITTING TO TO TO HELP IN THIS JUDGMENT. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT ON THE MERITS OF WHAT I'M ASKING ALONE TODAY.
SORRY IT'S TAKEN ME SO LONG. IT'S BEEN SO LONG AGO. I'M LOOKING AT THE ORDERS TO SEE.
YES, MA'AM. PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME ABOUT EITHER ONE OF THEM. WHY? IN ALL HONESTY, NOTHING WAS DONE TO BRING THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE AT ALL.
[01:00:01]
CODE ENFORCEMENT. DO YOU RECALL WHETHER THIS PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BY A CONTRACTOR FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT OR. WHAT HAPPENED? NO. SO THERE WERE MULTIPLE CASES ON THIS PROPERTY. I BELIEVE. LET'S SEE. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT.THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH RESIDING WITHIN A SHED ON THE PROPERTY. AND THESE AND. YOU.
AND I HAVE TO LOOK UP JUST BECAUSE I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE LAWSUIT. AND A LOT OF THAT THERE WAS THERE IS FINDINGS FROM I BELIEVE IT WAS DON HALEY THAT THAT COME OUT AND HE TESTIFIED THAT THE RV DID NOT HAVE ANYBODY LIVING IN IT. THE SHED WAS NEVER PROVEN TO HAVE ANYBODY LIVING IN IT. WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER CAME DOWN, I WAS WITH HER. AND THIS IS PART OF THE LAWSUIT THAT'S WITH THE COUNTY NOW TO PULL THE PERMIT THAT THE COUNTY REQUESTED FOR THE FOR THE SOMETHING THAT SHE WAS DOING. MISS ASHMAN DENIED HER THE PERMIT SO THAT SHE COULDN'T PULL THE PERMIT. AS A HOMEOWNER, I WAS ACTUALLY I VIDEOED THAT WHOLE I COULD SHOW YOU THE VIDEO RIGHT NOW WHERE MY GRANDMOTHER WAS THERE TO PULL A HOMEOWNER PERMIT AND WAS DENIED TO PULL THAT PERMIT. BUT I'M NOT. THAT'S THAT'S ALL GOING TO COME OUT IN A DIFFERENT LITIGATION, I GUESS. LITIGATION. I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS. WELL, THAT'S MY CONCERN. IF THERE'S PENDING LITIGATION GOING ON AT THIS TIME, I'M NOT INCLINED TO MAKE ANY CHANGE TO THE PENDING ORDER WITH THIS. IS THIS IS SEPARATE. THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THAT. BUT IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTIES IN QUESTION, THESE ORDERS ARE MADE BACK IN 2019. AND I'M SURE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT WITH THESE PROPERTIES.
OKAY. WELL, I'M NOT INCLINED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO AN ORDER THAT WAS DONE BACK IN 2019. I CAN'T RECALL AS TO WHY COMPLIANCE WAS NEVER COMPLIED WITH, WHY THE PROPERTY OWNER NEVER DID ANYTHING BUT THE ORDERS. I HAVE SHOW THAT SOMEONE DID APPEAR ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY AT THE HEARING, AND THEY CONTINUED TO ALLOW THE DAILY FINES TO ACCRUE. SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO GO OFF OF TODAY. AND THAT'S I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE THE PENDING ORDER THAT'S IN PLACE AS IS, WITHOUT ANY CHANGES. SO THIS, THIS THE AGAIN, THIS HAS 81. SO THE 8139 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WITH THE LAWSUIT. THAT'S A COMPLETE SEPARATE PROPERTY.
OKAY. SO YOU SAID BECAUSE OF THE LITIGATION OR THE I SAID IF THERE'S LITIGATION GOING ON I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY COMMENTS ON THAT. YES. WITH REGARD TO THE ORDERS I HAVE ON THE 8139 RANDOM ROAD PROPERTY FROM TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THERE WAS A SECOND ORDER TO IMPOSE LIENS ON THOSE AND FINES. THERE WERE DAILY FINES ASSESSED. I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES. ONE WAS FROM OCTOBER 30TH, 2019. ONE IS FROM MARCH 7TH OF 2019. YES, MA'AM. CAN I CAN I ASK WHY THESE WEREN'T ADDRESSED DURING THE PROBATE TIME PERIOD? AND IT WASN'T I WASN'T INVOLVED WITH THE PROBATE CASE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WASN'T. I'M NOT SURE. I ASKED MISS SOMETHING. SHE MAY BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHY SHE DID OR DIDN'T BRING ANY OF IT UP. I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T DEAL WITH ANYTHING RELATED TO THE ACTUAL ESTATE ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT DIDN'T COME UP. THEN. I HAVE ONE MORE REQUEST WITH WITH WHAT YOU HAVE THERE. THE. THAT THAT FINE HAS IMPOSED AGAINST ANOTHER A VACANT PROPERTY. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, 98 WEST GULF BOULEVARD, PANAMA CITY BEACH, WHICH ISN'T MENTIONED IN ANYTHING. IS THERE A WAY THAT THE COURT WOULD RELEASE THE LIENS AGAINST THAT PROPERTY? THAT'S STATUTE IS WRITTEN TO SAY THAT IT CAN BE LEANED AGAINST ANY PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY OWNED WITHIN THE COUNTY? YES. THAT'S WHY THE PROPERTY WAS ASSOCIATED WITH IT AS WELL. OKAY. SO. DO YOU. DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO TO RELEASE THAT? I'M JUST CURIOUS IF YOU IF YOU DO YOU HAVE THE
[01:05:03]
ABILITY. I DON'T HAVE THE ORDER WITH ME. NO NO NO NO TO TO. TO REMOVE THOSE FINES. YEAH.PROBABLY DO. JUST WOULD YOU I MEAN IS THERE IS THERE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IS THERE A REASON. HERE'S THE, HERE'S THE THING SHE WAS GOING THROUGH WITH MY GRANDMOTHER WAS GOING THROUGH. SHE WOULD WRITE, AND HERE'S THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IN 2019, SHE WAS GOING THROUGH AGGRESSIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. SHE SHE ENDED UP SUCCUMBING TO IT JUST TO LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER THAT. THIS IS NEVER AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN MAILED TO ME. CERTIFIED MAIL. I'VE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP IN ANYTHING TO TO. IT'S NEVER.
THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF IT. BUT YOUR TESTIMONY JUST A MOMENT AGO WAS THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH YOUR GRANDMOTHER. OH, NO. NO, MA'AM, NO, MA'AM. THAT WAS WHEN SHE CAME TO PULL A PERMIT THAT SHE WAS. SHE WAS ASKING ABOUT IF ANYTHING HAD EVER BEEN DONE TO BRING IT IN COMPLIANCE. I WAS JUST LETTING YOU KNOW I WAS HERE WITH HER WHEN SHE TRIED TO PULL THE PERMIT AT ONE OF THE PERMITS TO BRING SOMETHING IN COMPLIANCE AND WAS DENIED, WAS TOLD SHE COULDN'T PULL A PERMIT AS THE HOMEOWNER. SO THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS ALL I WAS MAKING REFERENCE TO. I WAS NOT HERE AT ANY HEARING. YEAH. SOMEONE WAS HERE AT THE HEARINGS. IT WAS PROBABLY HER PROPERTY, AND SHE PROBABLY LEFT ONE OF HER CANCER TREATMENTS AND COME HERE. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOUR YOUR YOU I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SAYING SOMEBODY WAS HERE. I'M JUST I'M ASKING AGAIN IF YOU WOULD, IF YOU WOULD SEE IT TO TO TO BRING IT BACK TO AT LEAST THAT FINE AND ALLOW US IN THE FINE IT STANDS, YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THE LIEN AT THE KEEP THE LANE AT WHAT IT IS AS IS. OKAY. HOW LONG WILL THAT LIEN STAY THERE BEFORE ANY OTHER FURTHER ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST IT? I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE RECORDED ON. I DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE FLORIDA STATUTE AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS. RECORDED. RECORDED IN 20.
ONE. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS RECORDED ON THREE, 13, 2019. WHEN THE LANES WERE CLOSED.
YEAH. DID THEY JUST STAY THERE? THE LIENS. YEAH, THEY RECORDED THEM AGAINST THE PROPERTY. YEAH.
SO THEY'LL JUST CONTINUE TO, TO GAIN THAT INTEREST OR WHATEVER. CORRECT. THE INTEREST IS ACCRUED DAILY. YES THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING DOWN. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. THIS THIS IS ALL PUBLIC RECORD, CORRECT? YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S HEARING ON 8139 RANDOM ROAD. MOVING ON TO LETTER D ON THE AGENDA CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE 20250158 PROPERTY ADDRESSES 1826 CALLAHAN STREET. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAGISTRATE JUSTICE SENIOR INVESTIGATOR, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. I'VE SUBMITTED MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT FOR THE RECORD. MY NOTICES AND PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ALSO ATTACHED. THIS IS A FINAL HEARING TO IMPOSE FINES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE. A COMPLIANCE HEARING WAS HEARD BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON THE 17TH OF JULY, 2025. THE MAGISTRATE FOUND THAT THE RESPONDENT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE FIRST HEARING ORDER THAT WAS HELD ON JUNE THE 12TH OF 2025. THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT. PHOTOGRAPHS WERE THE PROPERTY WERE INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT A AND ARE ALSO CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. THE MAGISTRATE AT THAT HEARING DIRECTED THE STAFF TO ABATE THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT TO CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED, AND UPON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VIOLATORS. THESE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE SHOWN TO YOU ON THE 17TH OF JULY. THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT 1826 FROM THE ROAD. IF YOU REMEMBER, IT'S A DOUBLE WIDE MOBILE HOME, HAD A LOT OF JUNK ON SCREEN PERSONAL PROPERTY IN THE FRONT YARD. A CLOSER UP VIEW, CLOSER VIEW OF THE DOG KENNEL ON YOUR LEFT, SOME OVERGROWTH IN THE BACK, SOME JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY. LOOKING FROM THE DRIVEWAY. THIS WOULD BE THE EAST SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH A CLOSER VIEW OF THE BACKYARD, SOME JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY, AS WELL AS SOME OVERGROWTH. AND JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE RV THAT'S STILL IN THE OTHER PHOTO OVERGROWTH JUNK. ON JULY THE 17TH, THE NOTICE OF INTENT WAS SENT CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, STATING THAT WORK WOULD BEGIN ON OR AFTER THE 8TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2025. ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST, I
[01:10:01]
JUST HAPPENED TO RIDE BY CONDUCTED A FINAL INSPECTION. THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN CLEANED AND WAS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. THIS IS LOOKING BACK. YOU CAN SEE THE JUNK AND EVERYTHING WAS MISSING FROM THE FRONT PORCH. THE OVERGROWTH HAD BEEN CUT TO THE BACK, THE MATTRESS AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS PRESENT DURING THE 17TH HEARING WAS GONE. ALSO ON THAT DAY I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM A BECCA LYFORD. I FORGOT TO PUT WHO SHE IS. SHE IS THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE HAD SPENT THE WEEKEND CLEANING THE PROPERTY WITH THE TENANT. I INFORMED REBECCA I'D CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION EARLIER IN THE DAY AND THE VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED, AND I WOULD SET A FINAL HEARING CONCERNING THE FINES ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST. THIS DAY ALSO, I SENT A NOTICE OF FINAL HEARING CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER USING THE ADDRESS 112 AUBREY CIRCLE, PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA. THE CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED TO THE RESPONDENT. THE REGULAR NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED AS OF THIS DATE. POSTED A COPY OF THE NOTICE ON THE PROPERTY ON THE 20TH OF AUGUST, 2025 AND ON THE 2ND OF SEPTEMBER 2025. A COPY OF THE NOTICE IS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER. THAT CONCLUDES MY TESTIMONY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR MY RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE? IT'S CODE ENFORCEMENT RECOMMENDATION THAT ONE THE MAGISTRATE IMPOSE THE FINE OF $2,800 PLUS STATUTORY INTEREST, AND TWO, THAT UPON RECORDING OF THIS FINAL ORDER IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BAY COUNTY, FLORIDA, THE COST LEVIED AGAINST THE RESPONDENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXIST, AND AGAINST ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT. THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY ASSESS THE COST OF ABATING THE VIOLATION AGAINST THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT ACT IN CHAPTER 21 OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE. THAT CONCLUDES OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. ALL RIGHT. THE FINES ARE BASED UPON NONCOMPLIANCE. CORRECT. REPEAT OFFENDER. THANK YOU. MULTIPLE. MULTIPLE. REPEAT. IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION WHILE NO ONE IS PRESENT TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION? PROPERTIES OF TODAY'S HEARING WAS PROVIDED. I WILL FIND ON THE RECORD THAT I HAVE VIEWED PHOTOS FINDING THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE. ON AUGUST 11TH FOR THE VIOLATIONS CITED HEREIN, AND I WILL ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF CODE ENFORCEMENT WITH REGARD TO THIS PROPERTY. THAT CONCLUDES THIS HEARING ON CODE ENFORCEMENT. CASE 20250158 PROPERTY ADDRESSES 1826 CALLAHAN STREET. FOR ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT I NEED TO BE AWARE OF. I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN TODAY'S MEETING AT 1215 OR 215, TRYING* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
