AND I HAVE SINCE MOVED THE CAR AND CLEARED ALL THE PROPERTY AROUND IN FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOMES WHERE IT CAN BE TORN DOWN. OKAY, BUT I'M A HEART PATIENT AND I CAN'T, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND. OKAY, NOW, SINCE THEY'VE GOT A GOOD PIECE OF PROPERTY OR A GOOD PRIMARY RESIDENCE ON THE THING, THEY CAN KEEP ONE DERELICT VEHICLE.

          PAID A GENTLEMAN TO CLEAR IT ALL OUT TO WHERE SOMEONE COULD GET TO IT TO TEAR IT DOWN. OKAY, ALRIGHT. BASED ON THE TESTIMONY THAT I'VE HEARD AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS I'VE SEEN INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12211 HAPPY VILLE ROAD, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE, NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT. 
          HE HAS APPEARED, TESTIFIED AND BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE ANY EVIDENCE OR MAKE ANY COMMENTS THAT HE WANTED TO NOTICE WAS OBVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT, AS HE 
          [00:10:05]
HAS APPEARED AND HAS BEEN GIVEN BY POSTING AND OR MAIL. THERE IS A VIOLATION ON THE PROPERTY IN THE FORM OF AN UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME, DERELICT VEHICLES AND OR VESSELS. 
          THERE'S SOME TRASH IN THE FORM OR APPLIANCES OUT THERE THAT CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE CODE, AND THEREFORE ALL OF THOSE ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO ABATEMENT. THE RESPONDENT SHALL HAVE A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS IN WHICH TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. ONE DERELICT VEHICLE MAY CAN REMAIN ON THE PROPERTY ONLY IF THERE IS ONE REPAIRED OR STRUCTURALLY SOUND PRIMARY STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY, AND APPARENTLY THERE IS. IF NO PRIMARY STRUCTURE REMAINS, THEN ALL VEHICLES, BOTH DERELICT AND OPERATIONAL, HAVE GOT TO BE STORED IN AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE OR REMOVED. THE UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME MUST BE ADDRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. APPLY FOR AND OBTAIN A DEMOLITION PERMIT TO DEMOLISH THE UNFIT OR UNSAFE STRUCTURE AND ANY AND ALL PROHIBITED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AS MAY BE DEFINED IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND REMOVE THAT DEMOLITION DEBRIS. OR YOU CAN REPAIR IT IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. SUBMIT A COMPLETE SET OF BUILDING OR A COMPLETE BUILDING APPLICATION TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, AND THAT APPLICATION MUST INCLUDE THE MOBILE HOME MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS FOR THAT SPECIFIC MODEL OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE ENGINEERING PLANS OR BLUEPRINTS TO SHOW THAT IT IS DEVIATION FROM THE ORIGINAL HOME, AND THAT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. REPAIR OR REMODEL THE MOBILE HOME REQUIRES THAT YOU USE MATERIAL AND DESIGN EQUIVALENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. THE STRUCTURE TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS PROVISION WILL INCLUDE THE ROOF SYSTEM, WALLS SYSTEM, FLOOR SYSTEM, WINDOWS AND EXTERIOR DOORS OF THE MOBILE OR MANUFACTURED HOME, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT SHALL REQUIRE THE USE OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN EQUIVALENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. REPAIRS HAVE GOT TO BE MADE BY A PERSON DEFINED IN SECTION 320 .82454 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. THEY'VE YOU'VE GOT TO SUBMIT A DETAILED ACTION PLAN TO INCLUDE TIME FRAMES OUTLINING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THE STRUCTURE, TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, AND ALL PERMITS AND MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS, ENGINEERING PLANS OR BLUEPRINTS HAVE GOT TO GO THROUGH THE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS BEFORE ANY PERMIT WILL ISSUE. ALL PERMIT INSPECTIONS HAVE GOT TO BE COMPLETED BY THE BUILDER SERVICES DIVISION STAFF OR A DESIGNEE, AND THE REPAIRS HAVE GOT TO BE MADE IN ACCORD WITH THE ACTION PLAN AND STRUCTURAL REPORT. AND BUILDING PERMIT INSPECTIONS HAVE GOT TO BE COMPLETED AND PERMITS FINALIZED IN ORDER FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE DEEMED COMPLETE. IF AT ANY TIME THE PERMITS UNDER THIS ORDER EXPIRE OR BECOME VOID FOR ANY OTHER REASON, IT SHALL BE DEEMED A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER. IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESPONDENT TO CONTACT AND INFORM CODE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY PROGRESS OR DELAYS IN BRINGING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. IF THE RESPONDENT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE ACTIONS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ORDER, I'M GOING TO WAIVE THE FINE IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT HE'S ALREADY CLEARED THE PROPERTY TO FACILITATE THE REMOVAL OF THE MOBILE HOME. THE THE COST OF THE ABATEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT OF A SEPARATE HEARING AND WILL BE BECOME A LEAN UPON THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENTS IN BAY COUNTY. THE NONCOMPLIANCE WOULD ALSO BE DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED IF THE RESPONDENT WERE TO OBTAIN A DEMOLITION OR A BUILDING PERMIT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME SET FORTH, AND THEN ALLOWS THAT PERMIT TO EXPIRE OR HAS BECOME VOID FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAT ALL WILL BE DEEMED A DEFAULT. COMPLIANCE HEARING IN THIS MATTER IS SET FOR NOVEMBER THE 19TH AT 1 P.M. AND THAT WILL BE IN THIS. WE'RE STILL IN THIS BUILDING AT THAT POINT, OKAY. IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT YOU'VE ANNOUNCED THAT YOU WANT THE COUNTY TO TAKE IT DOWN AND EVERYTHING, CAN Y'ALL GO AHEAD AND START DOING THE

IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT OF THERE BY YOURSELF TO HELP REDUCE THE COST OF THE ACTUAL CLEANUP, YOU GO AHEAD AND DO THAT AS SOON AS YOU CAN. SO THAT WON'T BE INCLUDED IN THE BID. WHEN THEY HAVE THE CONTRACTOR COME UP OR CONTRACTORS COME UP AND BID THE JOB. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

          [00:30:03]
COMPLIANCE. THE THE STUFF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY HADN'T BEEN MOVED OR TOUCHED. 
          THIS CASE IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLIANCE HERE ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2025 AT 1 P.M. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM THIS, BRANNON? NOT A WORD. OKAY. AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THE DAY I POSTED RIGHT BESIDE HER MAILBOX, I DIDN'T GET FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND SHE SNATCHED THAT POSTING UP. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO SHE KNOWS ABOUT IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WHO'S HERE ON BEHALF OF THIS PROPERTY? ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JOE. AND GIVE US A GOOD MAILING ADDRESS JOE WAGES 6114 EAST SIXTH STREET. THAT'S WHERE MY MOTHER LIVES AT. YOU CAN SEND ALL THE INFORMATION TO HER. OKAY? I AM THE ONE IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING THIS MESS UP. TRYING MY BEST. I SAID I DONE TORE DOWN THAT ONE TRAILER THAT'S RIGHT BESIDE THE MY OPINION POLL BARN SLASH SHED, WHICH I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TEARING DOWN THAT POLE BARN SLASH SHED TOO. OKAY, WELL, MORE THAN HALF THROUGH WITH IT AND I AM CLEANING UP THE YARD AND STUFF TOO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I TOLD HIM, WE DON'T OWN THE TRAILER. PAM BRANDON OWNS THE TRAILER, SO I CAN'T VERY WELL DO NOTHING WITH THAT. OKAY? AND SHE KNOWS SHE'S IN VIOLATION. 
          SHE'S BEEN TOLD SHE'S THE ONE YANKED THE SIGN UP, CARRIED IT INSIDE. OH, MY CONCERN IS I'M CLEANING ALL THE OTHER STUFF UP, AND I'LL HAVE THE THE THE POLE BARN SLASH SHED TORE DOWN HERE SHORTLY AND YARD CLEANED UP. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GOING TO MOVE THAT BOAT AND THAT VEHICLE. 
          I THINK HE'S WANTING TO GET RID OF IT. SO AND THAT OTHER TRAILER, THEY'RE LOADED DOWN WITH CRAP. SOMEBODY SAID THAT THEY WANTED THAT. SO THAT SHOULD BE GONE HERE SHORTLY TO. 
          BUT MY CONCERN IS WITH THE TRAILER THAT PAM BRANDON'S LIVING IN. I CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH IT. AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY MOTHER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TEARING IT DOWN. AND WE CAN'T TO BEGIN WITH, BECAUSE IT AIN'T OURS. I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE A LIEN PUT AGAINST HER PROPERTY FOR A TRAILER THAT DON'T BELONG TO HER, RIGHT. I THINK PAM BRANDON SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TEARING IT DOWN. YOU KNOW, I'LL TAKE CARE OF ALL THE REST, BUT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE TRAILER THAT SHE'S LIVING IN. BUT I DID GET WORD THAT SHE'S IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING OUT, BUT OKAY, MY CONCERN IS, IS IS SHE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER TRAILER? THAT SHE MIGHT JUST LEAVE THERE? NOW, I DID GIVE I THINK THIS MAN WAS SENT A COPY OF A PIECE OF PAPER WHERE SHE'S CLAIMING THE TRAILER BELONGS TO HER. YOU KNOW, I, I CAN'T PROVE THAT THE TRAILER BELONGS TO HER, OTHER THAN THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT I GOT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, I. YES, SIR, I WOULD PRESENT IT. BUT SHE'S CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRAILER RIGHT HERE, SO I WOULD LIKE FOR HER TO TAKE CARE OF THE COST OF REMOVING IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT, I UNDERSTAND I CAN TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT TRAILER BECAUSE IT DON'T BELONG TO ME. BUT SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING. THAT'S WHAT I WAS INFORMED. WE HAVE NOT SAW IT, WE WERE JUST INFORMED. BUT I WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT MY MOTHER IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THAT TRAILER WHEN IT'S NOT HERS. 
          WELL, NOW SHE'S CLAIMING MORE THAN THE TRAILER. EXACTLY, BUT SHE'S A LITTLE LOONY IN THE HEAD. SHE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY, AND IT'S NEVER BEEN IN HER NAME. IT'S WENT FROM MY GRANDFATHER'S TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S. IT'S NEVER WENT TO ANYBODY ELSE'S NAME. THE DEATH OF MY GRANDFATHER. IT WAS STATED IN HIS THAT IT GOES STRAIGHT TO MY GRANDMOTHER. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANYBODY ELSE'S NAME BUT THOSE TWO PEOPLE. YEAH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE. THAT JUST PROVES THAT SHE AIN'T ALL THERE. WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP, JOE WAGES, WHICH IS MY MOTHER. MY MOTHER? I'M SORRY. YEAH. TO PAMELA, I'M NO RELATIONSHIP TO HER. OKAY? MY BROTHER AT ONE POINT WAS SEEING HER. HIS GIRLFRIEND. RIGHT? THAT'S THE REASON SHE'S BEEN LIVING THERE ALL THESE YEARS. AND SHE DON'T PAY RENT OR NOTHING. SHE'S JUST LIVING THERE RENT FREE. AND A TRAILER THAT BELONGS TO HER COURTESY. THAT MY MOTHER BEEN LETTING HER DO THAT. I MEAN, BUT SHE DON'T PAY RENT OR NOTHING, AND THE TRAILER 
          [00:35:01]
BELONGS TO HER, SO WE CAN'T TEAR IT DOWN. AND THAT'S THE OTHER CONCERN WE HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, YOU DEEMED IT UNLIVABLE, BUT YOU DIDN'T CONDEMN IT, WHICH MEANS THAT THAT THE ELECTRICITY CANNOT LEGALLY BE TURNED OFF UNLESS IT IS CONDEMNED. AND WE CAN'T. IT'S BECAUSE IT'S IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S NAME, THE ELECTRICITY. WE CANNOT LEGALLY TURN ANYTHING OFF UNTIL THAT HOUSE IS CONDEMNED, BECAUSE WE'LL GET IN TROUBLE FOR TURNING ELECTRICITY OFF TO SOMEONE'S HOUSE. AND THAT WAS THE OTHER CONCERN. I NEED TO KNOW IF, WHEN AND IF I CAN TURN THAT OFF SO SHE WILL GET OUT. BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET MYSELF OR MY GRANDMOTHER IN TROUBLE BY TURNING SOMETHING OFF THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO. HAVE. 
          HOW BAD DOES IT HAVE TO BE BEFORE Y'ALL CAN SAY I'M GOING TO SAY SUPER UNSAFE, PLEASE COME OFF THE POWER. THE STRUCTURAL ASPECT PART OF IT IS NOT GOING TO DETERMINE THROUGH FPL OR CO-OP FOR POWER DISCONNECT. NOW IF THERE WAS UNSAFE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, I COULD HAVE THE BUILDING OFFICIAL REMOVE IT JUST FROM DOCUMENTATION, BUT IT'S JUST AN EXTENSION CORD GOING THROUGH THE WINDOW. I COULDN'T. THE COUNTY WILL DISCONNECT POWER THE DAY AFTER WE DO PRE-BID WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT IF IT GOT TO THAT POINT. SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION. OKAY. HOW DID THE SO. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ON HOW THE MOBILE HOME GOT ON THE PROPERTY. MOBILE HOME WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO PUT THERE OVER 30 YEARS AGO. OKAY. AT THAT TIME, MY BROTHER AND THIS WOMAN WAS SEEING ONE ANOTHER. OKAY. BUT THIS PAPER THAT THAT YOU HAVE PRESENTED HAS GOT A 2013 CASE NUMBER ON IT FROM. IT LOOKS LIKE COUNTY COURT. I CAN'T SEE ALL OF IT. 
          SO I ASSUME THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF EVICTION ACTION OR SOMETHING BACK IN 2013. AT THAT POINT, MY MOTHER WAS CONSIDERING. EVICTING HER, BUT AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, MY BROTHER TALKED HER INTO LETTING HER CONTINUE STAYING. OKAY, WELL, I MEAN. CAN WE MAKE A COPY OF THIS FOR THE FILE? A COPY OF THAT WAS SENT TO TO THE MAN THAT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT MAN, A COPY OF THAT I REMEMBER, OR SOMEBODY ELSE HAD THE CASE PRIOR TO YOU AND IT WAS SENT TO. 
          YEAH, I'M THE ONE. I'M THE ONE THAT EMAILED THAT COPY WAS SENT TO A TONI BRUNER. YEAH. THAT'S HIM. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. I'M THE ONE THAT EMAILED YOU. SO DO YOU REMEMBER HAVING SEEN IT? I'M LOOKING. OKAY, OKAY. I CAN TELL YOU WHAT EMAIL IT WAS SENT FROM TO IT WAS SENT FROM MY EMAIL. 
          AND THEN WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS CRYSTAL O'MARA. I'M THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE. YEAH, WE'D BE MORE THAN GLAD TO SEE THAT TRAILER GONE. AND WE HAVE BEEN. IT'S JUST THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO, BUT I JUST I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE MY MOTHER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL OF REMOVING IT. AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ON THAT. YOU KNOW? THE EMAIL IT WAS SENT FROM IS IT SAYS IT'S THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS CRYSTAL G MARTIN AT YAHOO.COM. THAT'S WHERE IT WAS SENT FROM. OKAY. LET'S I WANT TO MAKE A COPY OF THAT FOR SURE. TO PUT IN THE FILE. OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE. YES, SIR. I KNOW IT'S KIND OF ODD FOR ME TO ASK, BUT MY BROTHER WANTED TO ASK IF HE COULD KEEP THE FLOOR. THAT OLD BARN SLASH SHED. WHAT? THE FLOOR? WELL, IT'S JUST LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MADE OUT OF TWO BY SIX. IT'S A TWO BY SIX FLOOR IN THAT SHED. IT'S PERFECTLY GOOD. TUBA. SIXTH FLOOR. AND HE JUST WANTED ME TO ASK IF HE COULD KEEP THE FLOOR. I DON'T HAVE A I MEAN, I WOULDN'T THAT'S NOT A STRUCTURE AT THAT POINT, IS IT. RIGHT. IT JUST KIND OF A FREE FLOATING DECK IS IT POSES AS LONG AS IT POSES NO HAZARD TO ANYBODY WALKING ON THE PROPERTY. I MEAN, I, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT I MEAN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IT DOESN'T CONSTITUTE A STRUCTURE WITHIN THE MEANING OF WHAT THEY DEAL WITH. I MEAN, THEY'VE GOT VERY SPECIFIC CODE PROVISIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. OKAY. WELL, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT IT DOESN'T CONSTITUTE A STRUCTURE UNDER THE CODE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT STAYING OUT THERE. SO BUT. ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN SEE I HAVE TWO WASTE 
          [00:40:03]
MANAGEMENT DUMPSTERS AROUND THERE AND I'M KEEPING THEM FULL WELL. YOU'VE GOT A FEW MORE ITEMS TO PUT IN THERE, BUT LET'S LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET THEM GONE. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, I KNOW, THAT'S IT. I'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON WITH HER TRAILER. 
          LIKE I SAID, I JUST DON'T WANT MY MOM TO BE RESPONSIBLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND, YOU KNOW, OKAY. BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT SHE'S IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING. BUT I'D HATE TO THINK THAT SHE'S GOING TO LEAVE THAT TRAILER THERE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF. WELL, THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S THE REASON YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE VERY WITH WITH MOBILE HOMES, PEOPLE WALK OFF AND LEAVE THEM ALL THE TIME. THAT'S AN UNFORTUNATE REALITY IN LIFE. BUT YOU NEED, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD OUT OF A TURNIP, BUT I MEAN. THE THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR A GROUND LEASE FOR A MOBILE HOME, IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE TIGHT. SO TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T LEAVE YOU HOLDING THE BAG, SO TO SPEAK, WAS THE LEASE AGREEMENT OR NOTHING? SHE WAS JUST ALLOWED TO PUT IT THERE AND LIVE. AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED. I GUESS OVER 30 YEARS AGO. RIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, JUST SO HAPPENED IF IF MY MOM HAS SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER TRAILER BEING TORE DOWN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, BECAUSE I COULD SEE REMOVING IT. BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO TEAR DOWN SOMEBODY ELSE'S TRAILER. RIGHT? WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT INCLINED TO HOLD YOUR MOTHER RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. I'LL PUT IT THAT WAY. OKAY. BASED ON THE TESTIMONY I'VE HEARD AND THE EXHIBITS THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE FORM OF PHOTOGRAPHS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE LOCATE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6114 EAST SIXTH STREET, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE, NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT. THEY HAVE APPEARED AND TESTIFIED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MATTER AND BEEN AFFORDED TO INTRODUCE AN EXHIBIT WHICH HAS BEEN MADE A PART OF THE FILE. THE. PROPERTY DOES HAVE A VIOLATION OF 1702, IN THE FORM OF AN UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME ON THE PREMISES, AS WELL AS AN UNFIT OR UNSAFE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. 
          THERE ARE ALSO VEHICLES, JUNK AND TRASH ON THE PROPERTY. THE. RESPONDENT HAS OBTAINED A DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR THE. ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY, AND HAS REMOVED ONE. 
          MOBILE HOME THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DECLARED TO BE UNFIT AND UNSAFE. THE BUILDING PERMIT OR EXCUSE NOT THE BUILDING PERMIT, BUT THE DEMOLITION PERMIT. WILL. SEE THERE'S A DATE IN HERE SOMEWHERE. MARCH I THINK 20 OF 26. YEAH. WILL EXPIRE SOMETIME IN MARCH OF 26. SO THE THE RESPONDENT HAS UNTIL THAT TIME TO. TAKE DOWN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THE. UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME IDENTIFIED AS A BUILDING A OR STRUCTURE A ON THE PREMISES. EXCUSE ME. IS UNFIT OR UNSAFE AND IT CAN BE. THAT VIOLATION CAN BE REMEDIED BY. REPAIRING THE UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. WELL, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE OWNER TO THAT THING. IN THE ALTERNATIVE, THAT UNFIT OR UNSAFE MOBILE HOME WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF DEMOLITION. YOU ALSO MUST REMOVE ANY AND ALL JUNK, TRASH, DERELICT VEHICLES OR REMOVE ALL BUT ONE DERELICT VEHICLE FROM THE PREMISES. THE. SINCE YOU 
          [00:45:16]
ARE NOT THE OWNER OF THE. MOBILE HOME A I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ANY PERMITS IN ORDER TO DEMOLISH IT, BUT MISS BRANNON HAS A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS DURING WHICH SHE MUST REMOVE THE THING OR OR MAKE REPAIRS TO IT. THE REPAIRS WOULD INCLUDE SUBMITTING A COMPLETE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, AND THAT APPLICATION MUST INCLUDE THE MOBILE HOME MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS FOR THAT SPECIFIC MODEL OF MOBILE HOME. OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE ENGINEERING PLANS OR BLUEPRINTS TO SHOW THAT IT IS A DEVIATION FROM THE ORIGINAL HOME TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION. 
          REMODELING OR REPAIRING MOBILE HOMES REQUIRE THAT YOU USE EXCUSE ME MATERIAL AND DESIGN EQUIVALENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. THE STRUCTURE TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS REQUIREMENT INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE ROOF SYSTEM, WALL SYSTEM, FLOOR SYSTEM, WINDOWS AND EXTERIOR DOORS OF THE MOBILE OR MANUFACTURED HOME. ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT MUST BE DONE USING MATERIALS AND DESIGN EQUIVALENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. THOSE REPAIRS ALSO MUST BE MADE BY A PERSON DESIGNATED AND DEFINED IN SECTION THREE. 20.82454 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. IT REQUIRES A SUBMISSION OF A DETAILED ACTION PLAN TO INCLUDING TO INCLUDE TIME FRAMES OUTLINING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS FOR THE STRUCTURE, AND THAT'S GOT TO BE GIVEN TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. ALL REQUIRED PERMITS AND MANUFACTURERS. SPECIFICATION, ENGINEERING PLANS, ETC. HAVE GOT TO GO THROUGH THE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS BEFORE ANY PERMITS WILL ISSUE. THE PERMIT INSPECTIONS HAVE GOT TO BE COMPLETED BY THE BAY COUNTY BUILDERS SERVICES DIVISION STAFF OR DESIGNEE, AND THE REPAIRS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORD WITH THE ACTION PLAN AND STRUCTURAL REPORT. ALL BUILDING PERMIT INSPECTIONS HAVE GOT TO BE COMPLETED AND PERMITS FINALIZED IN ORDER FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE. IF AT ANY TIME ANY OF THE PERMITS REQUIRED UNDER THIS ORDER SHALL EXPIRE OR BECOME VOID FOR ANY REASON THAT SHALL BE DEEMED A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER. IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESPONDENT TO CONTACT AND KEEP CODE ENFORCEMENT INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS OR DELAYS IN BRINGING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. IF THE RESPONDENT FAILS TO COMPLY. AND AGAIN, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO WAIVE THE FINE BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN MAKING PROGRESS ON IT. ON GETTING THE PLACE CLEANED UP. NONCOMPLIANCE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED IF YOU GET A DEMO OR A BUILDING PERMIT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME, AND THEN YOU ALLOW THE PERMIT TO EXPIRE, OR IT BECOMES VOID FOR ANY REASON THAT WILL BE DEEMED A DEFAULT. AND CONSIDERED A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER. ANY COST ASSOCIATED FOR ABATING THE VIOLATIONS WILL BECOME. AS IT RELATES TO THE. ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WILL BECOME A LIEN ON THE REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT. THE MAGISTRATE WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF COST INCURRED IN ABATING THE VIOLATION. AS TO MOBILE HOME A AT THE COMPLIANCE HEARING, WHICH SHALL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER THE 19TH AT 1 P.M. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK HERE ON THE 19TH TO SEE IF SHE'S FIXED THAT MOBILE HOME. AND AND YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, YOU TECHNICALLY HAVE UNTIL THE 26TH OF MARCH OR WHATEVER IN MARCH TO GET YOUR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE DOWN. SO YOU NEED TO KEEP MAKING PROGRESS ON THAT. AND WE WILL ADDRESS ANY COMPLIANCE OR NONCOMPLIANCE. WHEN'S THE FIRST HEARING THAT WE HAVE AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE OR AFTER THE END OF MARCH IN 26? ALL RIGHT. 
          I DON'T HAVE THAT SCHEDULE WITH ME. OKAY. WELL, I'LL JUST I'LL JUST PUT IT THIS WAY. THEN WE 
          [00:50:06]
WILL HAVE A COMPLIANCE HEARING AS IT RELATES TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT OUR FIRST HEARING DATE AFTER IT EXPIRES IN MARCH OF 26. UNLESS THEY GET DOWN BEFORE. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH, YEAH. IF YOU HAVE IT DOWN BY THE 19TH OF NOVEMBER, THEN WE CAN TAKE YOU OFF THE HOOK FOR ANY OTHER HEARINGS AS IT RELATES TO I HAVE ALL THIS CLEANED UP WAY BEFORE THEN OTHER THAN THE TRAILER, I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE ABANDONED BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, I HEARD SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING OUT. THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE TRAILER, I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE TORN DOWN. YEAH. YOU KNOW, DO Y'ALL SEE HER ON A REGULAR BASIS? I DON'T LIVE THERE. MY MOTHER LIVES THERE AND SHE SEES HER, I THINK OCCASIONALLY. DOES SHE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU ALL ABOUT IT? OKAY, WELL, IT GETS A CONFRONTATION AND WE PREFER NOT TO GET I UNDERSTAND THAT, I UNDERSTAND THAT, YEAH, SHE KNOWS SHE'S GOT TO MOVE, I KNOW THAT. OKAY, WELL, SHE'LL. AND I'M SURE AWARE OF IT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE DAY. AND I'M PRETTY SURE SHE'S GOING TO JUST ABANDON IT AND LEAVE IT THERE AND PROBABLY NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOVING IT. WELL, SOMETIMES THAT'S THE PRICE YOU GOT TO PAY FOR GETTING RID OF THE PROBLEM. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, MISS ASHBURN? NO. OKAY, SO WE HAVE TO BE BACK ON THE 19TH OF NOVEMBER. I'M GOING TO SAY YES BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN THE OR WILL BE AT THE TIME. I THINK IT WOULD BE SMART IF YOU DID COME ON THE 19TH AT 1:00 AND WE'LL BE BACK IN THIS ROOM, OKAY? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

IT IS A VACANT LOT ZONED RESIDENTIAL. AND WE DID RECEIVE ON FEBRUARY 18TH OF THIS YEAR A COMPLAINTS FOR TREE DEBRIS JUNK AND TRASH. INITIALLY, INVESTIGATOR ROBBIE CLARKSON AND INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND HE DID FIND IT IN VIOLATION OF 17 TWO IN THE FORM OF JUNK TRASH, DEBRIS AND UNSCREENED, UNUSED PERSONAL PROPERTY. AN INFORMAL LETTER WAS SENT AT THAT TIME. SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THAT FEBRUARY 18TH, STARTING WITH SLIDE NUMBER FIVE TAKEN FROM THE ROADWAY, YOU SEE VEHICLES. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO BUILD A FENCE OR A WALL. THERE. IS THAT VEHICLE SITTING ON SOMETHING OR I THINK IT'S ON A TRAILER. OH, I SEE IT ABOVE THAT WALL. AND I WONDERED HOW THEY GOT UP IN THERE LIKE THAT DEBRIS, SOME TRASH, OLD TENTS. BOX. THERE WAS A LAND DISTURBANCE PERMIT ISSUED FOR THIS PROPERTY. A WHAT? IT'S A LAND CLEARING PERMIT CLEARING. OKAY, OKAY. AND INVESTIGATOR CHRIS HUBBARD WAS REASSIGNED. 
          THIS CASE. I'M GOING TO LET HIM FINISH WITH THE SLIDE SHOW. AS HE'S MOST FAMILIAR WITH CHRIS HUBBARD. BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT, MARCH 17TH. THE PROPERTY WAS REINSPECTED. AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT FRONT FENCE IS NOW DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE THE THE JUNK AND TRASH THE VEHICLE. 
          STOLEN PROPERTY. THERE'S A LITTLE SMALL SHED BACK THERE, THE BIG PILE OF DEBRIS TO THE RIGHT OF THE PHOTOGRAPH THERE. JUST KIND OF A CLOSER SHOT SHOWING THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE TRAILER OF THE TRUCK AND THE STUFF SCATTERED AROUND. THIS IS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME BUSTED UP CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS BACK TO THE BACK, AND THE BIG PILE OF DEBRIS PILED UP IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTY THERE. 
          APRIL 7TH, AS WE INSPECTED, REMAINED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL WHEN SOMETHING CHANGES ON AT THIS POINT, BUT IT'S MORE STUFF STORED ON THE PROPERTY. SOME OF IT'S BEEN MOVED AROUND, MAYBE, AND THERE'S A SMALL SHED STILL ON THE PROPERTY. THE BIG DEBRIS PILE REMAINS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WE JUST ANOTHER SHOT SHOWING HOW LARGE THE PILE OF DEBRIS THE TREE DEBRIS IS AND THE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS IN THE BACK. JUNE 5TH PROPERTY WAS INSPECTED. IT'S SHOT FROM CARUSO FROM THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, SHOWING THE 
          [00:55:06]
LEFT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY CLOSE UP SHOT SHOWING STUFF THE JUNK, TRASH, UNSCREENED, UNUSED STUFF, PERSONAL PROPERTY. IT'S LIKE A CARGO TRAILER HAD BEEN ADDED. THE TRACTOR. YOU STILL SEE THE DEBRIS PILE TO THE FRONT. JUST ANOTHER SHOT OF IT FROM THE ROAD SHOWING HOW LARGE THE PILE IS. SOME STUFF UP TOWARD THE FRONT, SOME BUILT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TRASH OR JUNK. JUNE 6TH THE NOTICE WAS SENT OUT. NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS SENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER USING THE ADDRESS CONTAINED IN THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. 
          BOTH THE REGULAR AND THE CERTIFIED MAIL WAS RETURNED WITHOUT SERVICE AUGUST 15TH. 
          THE PROPERTY WAS REINSPECTED AGAIN. FROM THE FRONT YOU CAN SEE STUFF STILL STORED ON THE PROPERTY THE JUNK, TRASH, CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, THE VEHICLES, THE STRUCTURE AND THE DEBRIS PILE REMAINS. A LOT OF STUFF AT THE FRONT STILL REMAINS. THE DRUMS AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND THE ENORMOUS PILE STARTING TO OVERGROW, SO IT'S GETTING A LITTLE HARD TO SEE. IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SHED HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED THERE TO THE RIGHT. 
          THE PROPERTY IN FRONT OF THAT, IT WAS CARGO TRAILER THERE AND SOME MORE DEBRIS SCATTERED AROUND SEPTEMBER 4TH, WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY. IT REMAINED IN VIOLATION. YOU SEE, WE'VE ADDED ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE TRAILER. I THINK THAT EXPLAINS THE FIRST PICTURE OVER THE FENCE. AND OF COURSE, THE OVERGROWTH IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE ALL THE STUFF, BUT IT STILL REMAINS THE SAME AS IN THE EARLIER PICTURES. THE STUFF UP BY THE FRONT OF THE FENCE, BOTH THE VEHICLE STORED ON THE PROPERTY, AND AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THERE'S TWO SHEDS ON THE PROPERTY. THAT ONE IN THE PREVIOUS ONE AT THE START OF THE CASE AND THE CARGO TRAILER, AND THERE YOU GO. AND THE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS. SEPTEMBER 5TH, THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT, CERTIFIED, MAILED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER'S ADDRESS OBTAINED FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S SITE.

THE NOTICE IS STILL THERE ON THE GATE AND IT REMAINS PRETTY MUCH AS IT WAS. IT WAS NOTED ON OCTOBER 1ST. I CHECKED THE PERMITS AND THERE WAS A LAND DISTURBANCE OR LAND CLEARING PERMIT WAS ISSUED BACK IN MAY 1ST OF 2024. THAT PERMIT DIDN'T GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO CLEAR THE LAND, BUT IT ALSO NOTED ON THERE THAT ANY ADDITIONAL PERMIT, THAT ADDITIONAL PERMITS WOULD BE REQUIRED IF ANY STRUCTURES WERE BUILT, SHEDS OR MOVED ONTO THE PROPERTY. THERE WAS A PHONE NUMBER ON THAT PERMIT FROM 2024 SO CALLED IT LEFT A VOICEMAIL FOR IT, AND THE PROPERTY OWNER CALLED ME BACK AND SPOKE WITH HER. SHE HAD NOT RECEIVED ANOTHER VIOLATION. SHE SAID SHE HAD CHANGED HER ADDRESS, BUT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED. SO WE DISCUSSED THE CASE AND SHE'S HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF.

THIS IS THE MOBILE HOME WE'LL BE DISCUSSING LOT NUMBER D CIRCLED IN RED. AND. I BELIEVE YOU HEARD THE OTHER CASES THAT 
          [01:20:04]
I'M NOT SURE. THERE WERE SEVERAL VIOLATIONS ON THIS PROPERTY. THIS WAS AN UNFIT UNSAFE STRUCTURES. THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE AT THE TIME THAT ACTUALLY OBTAINED A DEMOLITION PERMIT. SO IT WAS NOT PRESENTED WITH THE OTHER CASES BACK IN NOVEMBER. THIS IS THE PROPERTY FROM NOVEMBER 2024 THAT WILL BE DISCUSSING. AND INSPECTOR THORPE CONDUCTED A BUILDING INSPECTION ON DECEMBER 3RD OF 2024. AND HE IS HERE TO TESTIFY. GOOD MORNING AGAIN, INSPECTOR THORPE. SINGLE WIDE MOBILE HOME THAT SITS IN THIS PARK.

D DID OBTAIN A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN MARCH 26TH OF 2025, WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 26TH. 
          BUT IF YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE IN SLIDE SEVEN BEHIND THE POWER POLE, THERE'S A NEW PORTION OF THE ROOF THAT WAS PUT ON. IT'S LIKE A PART OF A SHED ROOF THAT WAS LAID OVER THE TOP FOR LIKE A CAROLINA CARPORT. THERE YOU GO. IT WAS JUST ROLLED ON THERE AND LOOKING AT OUR GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEM, OUR GIS, YOU CAN SEE IN THE CENTER OR INTO THE LEFT PORTION OF PHOTOGRAPH EIGHT, THERE IS A HUGE DENT. THERE WAS A TREE STRIKE TO IT, SO IT DAMAGED SOME OF THE ROOF. 
          AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY THE ROOF OVER WAS PUT ON THERE. AS WE GO AROUND THE BACK, JUST SHOWING THERE'S NO EXISTING ROOF THAT'S UNDER THERE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY TOOK THE TRIM PANEL OFF THERE ON A SHEETING WHERE IT'S NOT PAINTED, LAID THAT GREEN METAL ROOF OVER THE TOP OF IT AND THEN EXPOSED AT THE GABLE END THERE. AND SHEETING IS WEATHER BEATEN AND HAS SEPARATED, EXPOSING THE INTERIOR. AND THE, THE THE FRONT SIDE AND THE SIDES ARE TEN. THE BACK IS T111 WOOD SIDING. SO THERE'S BEEN REPAIRS. SEVERAL AREAS OF THE TEN HAS HAVE SEPARATED. THE UNDERLAYMENT IS IS FALLEN. THERE'S FOUR BY FOURS. INSTEAD OF BLOCKING HOLDING UP THE THE THE WALL SECTION OF THE MOBILE HOME. HOLE IN THE DOOR ALONG WITH ROTTING UNDERNEATH THE DOOR CASING. MORE SEPARATION OF THE TEN ON THE BACK THERE THEY HAD SOME KIND OF A ADDITION ON THE BACK, MAYBE HOT WATER HEATER OR SOMETHING. NOW THE FRONT PORCH, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS DAMAGED AT ONE TIME AND THEY REBUILT IT. GO AHEAD. NEXT PHOTO PLEASE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY SPLICED ALL THE THE PORCH LEGS THERE. THERE HAS TO BE FOR THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. CONTINUOUS LOAD PATH FROM THE GROUND TO THE ROOF THAT SPLICING WOULD NOT PASS. AND IT'S DONE ON ALL FOUR CORNERS.
