WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW, MISS SUGGS? WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW COULD THEY GO INTO MY HOUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION? I GOT NO NOTIFICATION. I GOT NO WARRANT. WHY ARE THEY INSIDE THAT HOUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION? WHY ARE THEY ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION? WELL, IT'S THE SAFETY INSPECTION. WE DIDN'T ENTER HOUSE MAGISTRATE. ALL THE PICTURES SHOT THROUGH THE WINDOW. THROUGH THE WINDOW? THAT'S WHY I WAS BRIEF DURING THE. NO. SOME OF THOSE PICTURES I SEEN WERE FROM INSIDE. WE'RE NOT HERE TO DEBATE THAT, MA'AM. WE'RE JUST THAT. WELL, SEE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. WHY ARE THEY ON THE PROPERTY? BECAUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION, IT WAS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. I CLEANED UP AGAIN. WE'RE NOT HERE TO DEBATE LIKE HE ASKED ME TO DO. YOU DID WHAT? I CLEANED UP. I HAD THAT ENTIRE PROPERTY CLEANED UP. THE OUTSIDE OF IT CLEANED UP, LIKE THE VERY FIRST NOTIFICATION THAT I GOT. ALLEGATION HERE IS AN UNFIT OR UNSAFE STRUCTURE. NO ONE'S LIVING IN IT. NO ONE'S GOING TO LIVE IN IT. I'M NOT HERE TO DEBATE WITH YOU ABOUT HABITATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT THERE'S BEEN A BUNCH OF EVIDENCE ABOUT SAGGING ROOF, WHAT THEY CALL STEP CRACKING, THAT WHERE ALL THE WALLS ARE CRACKING BECAUSE OF EITHER SETTLING OR SOME SORT OF IMPACT, YOU KNOW, ON TOP OF THE THE BUILDING OR SOMETHING. BUT THERE ARE SOME UNSAFE CONDITIONS THERE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT. OKAY. SO IF NO ONE'S GOING ON THE PROPERTY, THEN IT SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE THING IS WE DON'T KNOW THAT NO ONE'S GOING ON THE PROPERTY AND THE BUILDING IS UNSAFE AS IT EXISTS AT THE PRESENT TIME. I'M NOT PUTTING ANY MORE MONEY INTO A HOUSE THAT I AM NOT LIVING IN, AND NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO LIVE IN. I'VE ALREADY PAID TO GET THAT YARD CLEANED UP TO BE IN WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT TO BE IN. THAT'S UP TO YOU. YOU CAN YOU CAN MAKE THAT CALL. YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO RULE ON THE

[00:10:07]

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING IN AND OUT WITH THE BACK DOOR BEING KICKED IN, KICKED IN. AND YES, SO WE DO HAVE EVIDENCE OF BEING AT THE VERY LEAST TRANSIENT. IF IT'S NOT KIDS GOING IN AND OUT. OKAY, WELL, THE DOORS AND WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BOARDED UP. SO THE ONLY THING THAT'S LIVING IN THERE IS PROBABLY CATS, STRAY CATS. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? CODE ENFORCEMENT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. BASED ON THE TESTIMONY THAT I'VE HEARD, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7541 SKINNER ROAD, IS IT 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. SHE HAS APPEARED AND TESTIFIED AND BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MATTER. THE. PROPERTY, LOCATED ON SKINNER ROAD 75, 40 OR 41, EXCUSE ME, DOES HAVE A VIOLATION OF 172 IN THE FORM OF AN UNSAFE OR UNFIT STRUCTURE.

LOCATED HERE IN BAY COUNTY, NONCOMPLIANCE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED IF THE RESPONDENT GETS A DEMO OR A BUILDING PERMIT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME SET FORTH ABOVE, AND THEN ALLOWS THEM TO EXPIRE, OR THEY BECOME VOID FOR ANY REASON. AGAIN, THAT WILL BE A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER PURSUANT TO THAT DEFAULT. IF THE PROPERTY IS NOT COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS, IT WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF A COUNTY ABATEMENT ACTION.

THE. MATTER WILL BE HEARD ON SEPTEMBER THE 17TH AT 1 P.M. IN THIS BUILDING FOR A COMPLIANCE HEARING. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THAT'S IT. YOU'LL GET A COPY OF THE ORDER. OKAY. THAT WILL BRING US TO ITEM E. PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 3307 EAST BALDWIN ROAD. SLIDE NUMBER TWO IS FOR

[00:15:12]

THIS IS OVERALL AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. ON JUNE 1ST, 2023, THE BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOUND THIS PROPERTY IN VIOLATION OF BAY COUNTY CODE SECTION 17-2 IN THE FORM OF UNFIT UNSAFE STRUCTURES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLE OCCUPATION, JUNK TRASH, DEBRIS, APPLIANCES, DERELICT VEHICLES AND UNSCREENED UNUSED PERSONAL PROPERTY. A COPY OF THAT ORDER IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT A AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. THE PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BY THE PROPERTY OWNER ON MAY 19TH, 2026. THE BAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DEPARTMENT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH INVESTIGATOR CLARKSON, WHO IS HERE TODAY.

GOOD MORNING, MAGISTRATE ROBERT CLARKSON, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT I'VE SUBMITTED MY REPORT AND PHOTOS FOR THIS CASE. AS MANAGER STATED, ON MAY 19TH, I WAS CONTACTED BY DEPUTY SHERIFF. MY MIND JUST WENT BLANK, SITTING RIGHT THERE IN THE BACK. PROCTOR DEPUTY PROCTOR, EXCUSE ME, I AM 60 NOW. HE CALLED ME. THEY HAVE REPEATED PROBLEMS AT THIS TRAILER PARK WITH THE OCCUPANTS. THERE'S ONLY FOUR TRAILERS LEFT ON THIS TRAILER PARK. HE CALLED ME TO MEET HIM OVER THERE BECAUSE OF WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE CODE VIOLATIONS. I'LL PRESENT THESE SLIDES, AND DEPUTY PROCTOR WANTS TO GIVE YOU ANY FURTHER INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE PURSUANT TO THE CASE. HE'S MORE THAN WELCOME TO GIVE THAT. THIS IS COMING IN OFF OF BALDWIN AVENUE. YOU TURN IN OFF OF BALDWIN AND GO STRAIGHT BACK. THIS IS THE FIRST TRAILER THAT WOULD BE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, WHICH IS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED AS LOT 22.

SO HERE LOT 22, OBVIOUSLY, YOU SEE THERE'S A TEMPORARY TARPS AND POLES THAT THEY'RE ON THE SIDE. THERE'S PICTURE DOESN'T REALLY SHOW IT AS WELL, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF ATV PARTS AND PIECES ALL AROUND IT, ALONG WITH, YOU KNOW, TABLES AND STUFF. THIS LITTLE CLOSER VIEW OF SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE INSIDE THERE. THIS HAS COME ALONGSIDE OF 22, JUST SOME MORE JUNK DEBRIS. SLIDE SEVEN. SLIDE EIGHT. THIS IS THE BACK OF THE TRAILER PARK OF LOT 22. SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NOW EXPOSING A LOT OF THE JUNK AND DEBRIS THAT'S BACK THERE. LIKE I SAID, IT'S A LOT OF PARTS AND PIECES OF ATVS. I GUESS HE DOES SOME SORT OF WORK ON SCRAP ATVS. AS YOU KEEP GOING TO THE TRAILER PARK. THIS IS AGAIN THE BACKSIDE OF LOT 22. AS I'M GOING FURTHER IN, JUST SHOWING DEPICTING SOME MORE JUNK AND DEBRIS THERE ON ONE OF THE CONCRETE SLABS WHERE MOBILE HOME USED TO BE. JUST A CLOSER UP VIEW OF OF THE ITEMS BACK THERE BEHIND LOT 22. THIS WILL BE COMING UP TO LOT SIX ON THE LEFT. LOT OF JUNK AND DEBRIS OUTSIDE. THE TRUCK WAS DERELICT, DIDN'T HAVE A TAG. I THINK THESE GUYS DO A LOT OF SCRAPPING TRAILER THERE WITH WITH OBVIOUSLY APPLIANCE PIECES AND PARTS KIND OF GO AROUND THE CORNER. THERE'S MORE JUNK DEBRIS. THIS IS THE BACKSIDE TO LOT TWO. I MEAN, SIX, I'M SORRY, STILL SOME LITTLE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES. THIS WOULD BE LOT NINE IF LOOKING AT LOT SIX, LOT NINE WOULD BE RIGHT TO THE RIGHT OF IT. THERE'S A DERELICT TRUCK IN THE BACKGROUND THERE.

THESE ARE SOME OLD AC UNITS THAT WERE JUST IN FRONT OF LOT NINE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ACTUALLY ON ON HIS WHAT YOU CONSIDER HIS TRAILER LOT. THAT'S JUST MORE WHERE OTHER MOBILE HOMES USED TO BE BACK IN THE DAY. JUST A LITTLE CLOSER UP. VIEW LOT NINE. SOME APPLIANCES UNDERNEATH THE TREE. I THINK HE HAS HIS WASHING MACHINE HOOKED UP OUTSIDE A

[00:20:02]

AND YOU SEE SOME OF THE CAMPERS THERE AND SLIDE. BACK TO THE BACK ON 32. IS THAT SHED LIKE OFF KILTER OR THERE IN THE BACK? THAT'S ACTUALLY A HOMEMADE ENCLOSED. MOBILE TRAILER. OH, OKAY. OKAY. CONIC BOX THAT'S BEEN THERE FOREVER. SLIDE 34. THIS IS COMING BACK TO THE FRONT, INSIDE OF THE COMPOUND THERE OF LOT TWO. THERE'S SOME APPLIANCES, ANOTHER DERELICT RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THERE'S JUST ANOTHER RECREATIONAL VEHICLE COMING BACK AND JUST ALL THE APPLIANCES AND DEBRIS. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S THERE SCRAPPERS. SOME VESSELS. THIS IS KIND OF IN THE CENTER OF THE COMPOUND DERELICT VEHICLE. MORE DIRT, ANOTHER DERELICT VEHICLE AND DERELICT VESSEL AND TRAILER. ANOTHER DERELICT TRAILER AND JUNK AND DEBRIS. SAME 42. THESE ARE TWO. ONE WAS A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. AND THAT'S SOME SORT OF ENCLOSED UTILITY TRAILER ON THE RIGHT RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THAT TAG WASN'T CURRENT. IT'S JUST LOOKING AT ANOTHER ANGLE.

SLIDE 44. SO BASED ON EVERYTHING I SAW THERE AND AND THIS BEING A REPEAT VIOLATOR AT THAT POINT IN TIME, I CITED THE PROPERTY AS A NOTICE OF VIOLATION. THE NOTICE OF HEARING FOR VIOLATION OF 172 IN THE FORM OF JUNK APPLIANCES, DERELICT VEHICLES, UNSCREENED UNUSED PERSONAL PROPERTY. A CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING THE ADDRESS OF 3313 EAST BALDWIN ROAD, PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA, WHICH LISTED LISTED IN THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED TO HIM ON JUNE 5TH. THE REGULAR MAIL NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND A COPY OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER ON PROOF OF CERTIFIED MAIL DELIVERY WAS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE EXHIBIT C AND CONTAINED IN THIS CASE FILE. DEPUTY PROCTOR, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? YES, SIR. TELL US YOUR NAME AND GIVE US YOUR PROFESSIONAL ADDRESS. DEPUTY PROCTOR OF THE BAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, 3421 HIGHWAY 77. OKAY, I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO ADD ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR US. WE BACK IN 2023, WE HAD TWO OVERDOSES AT THIS PROPERTY. ONE OF THEM RESULTED IN A DEATH OF AS A RESULT OF THE OVERDOSE. IN 2025. LAST YEAR, ACTUALLY 2026. THIS YEAR, JANUARY OF 2026, I TRACKED A STOLEN SHED FROM ONE PROPERTY TO THIS PROPERTY. SO WE'VE GOT A SERIES OF INCIDENTS THAT ALWAYS KIND OF COME BACK TO THIS PROPERTY. I ALSO HAVE HAD, SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR, I'VE HAD 4 OR 5 DISTURBANCES AND TRESPASS CALLS AND THEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR, SIMILAR CALLS IN 2025, THE PROPERTY HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED FROM THE TIME THAT THIS CASE WAS FILED. HOWEVER. HOWEVER, I DID VISIT YESTERDAY. I DID SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE SOME DERELICT RVS AND STRUCTURES BEHIND THAT

[00:25:03]

I SELF DISPATCHED, I HAVE TO VERIFY A SEX OFFENDER THERE ONCE A MONTH. SO I WAS THERE YESTERDAY. I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE A CAD SHEET ON MY PHONE AND AND I CAN PROVIDE THIS IF NEEDED. THE LAST TRESPASS WE HAVE WAS JULY 15TH, 2026. WE ALSO HAD ONE ON JULY 13TH AND JULY 11TH, 2026, AND THEN JUNE 10TH OF 2026. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, SIR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO ON MAY 26TH, MR. CRAIG HAD JUSTIN CRAIG HAD CONTACTED ME.

THIS THIS PROPERTY, JUST A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY. IT WAS ORIGINALLY IN HIS WIFE'S PARENTS NAME. AND IT STILL IS IN IN A IN ALL THEIR NAMES. NOW, THE MOTHER AND FATHER PASSED AWAY. SO THE DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND HAVE TAKEN OVER OWNERSHIP AND RUNNING THE. THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF THE TRAILER PARK. SO MR. CRAIG HAD CONTACTED ME AND REQUESTED THAT I MEET HIM ON THE PROPERTY AND MEET WITH THE TENANTS AND KIND OF GO FROM EACH PLACE AND, AND SHOW THEM THE VIOLATION, WHAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. MAY 28TH. I DID MEET HIM OVER THERE, AT WHICH TIME I MET MR. BRANDON BARBER, WHO WAS THE TENANT OF LOT 22, MR. RUSSELL STEPHENS, WHO IS THE TENANT OF LOT TWO, AND MR. VAUGHN IS THE TENANT OF LOT NINE. MR. CARVER IS THE TENANT OF LOT SIX. NOW, THE ONLY ONLY TWO OF THOSE GENTLEMEN THAT SHOWED UP.

THAT'S JUST THE NAMES OF THE GENTLEMEN AND ALL THE TRAILERS. SO MR. STEPHENS AND MR. VAUGHN WERE PRESENT. I WENT TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL TRAILERS AND TOLD THEM THE ITEMS THAT THAT NEEDED TO GO. I DID NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS THAT DAY. IT WAS JUST MORE OF ME EXPLAINING THE PROCESS OF THAT THEY'RE IN AND AND THE STEPS THEY NEEDED TO TAKE FORWARD TO, TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. MR. CRAIGHEAD WAS HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE WITH ME AND HAS CONTACTED ME AND STAYED IN TOUCH WITH ME. AND AS YOU'LL SEE, AS THIS CASE GOES ALONG, I HAVE TO SAY THEY'VE DONE WITH THE AMOUNT OF STUFF THERE. THEY'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO BRING THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE. JULY 7TH, I INSPECTED THE PROPERTY. THESE ARE UNFORTUNATELY, THIS THIS IS ALL SCATTERED OUT. SO I GOT A LOT OF PICTURES AS YOU CAN SEE.

NOW THAT'S LOT 22. EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE IN THE SAME THE SAME ROTATION WHERE WE'LL COME TO LOT 22 FIRST AND SIX, NINE AND 12. SO THIS IS LOT 22. YOU SEE THERE'S A FRESH TARP NOW OVER OVER THE ITEMS. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SCREENING AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT CAN'T BE TEMPORARY. IT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF PERMANENT ENCLOSED OR OFF THE PROPERTY. SO THERE'S AN ATTEMPT HERE TO SCREEN LOT 46, LOT 22. YOU GO TO THE BACK, YOU KNOW, STILL THE 47. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF STUFF BACK THERE. AND THIS WILL GO TO LOT SIX.

MORE APPLIANCES AND JUNK AND DEBRIS. HERE. HE'S A SCRAPPER. SO A LOT OF THE STUFF KIND OF SEEMS TO COME AND GO. WHAT I'VE NOTICED. MORE CLOSE UPS OF LOT SIX. ITEMS BEHIND IT. THE DERELICT TRUCK THERE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH LOT NINE. THOSE ARE THE TWO CAMPERS AND UTILITY TRAILER IN THE MIDDLE THAT ARE DERELICT. THERE'S AN AIRBOAT NOW DERELICT IN TRAILER. IT'S JUST MORE OF ANOTHER VESSEL, THESE PHOTOS. THE YELLOW BOAT WAS NEW, BUT THESE THESE WERE ONES THAT WERE THERE ON THE FIRST INSPECTION. HE'S ALL DERELICT. AIR CONDITIONERS IN

[00:30:12]

JULY 17TH. MR. VAUGHN EMAILED CODE ENFORCEMENT. HE LIVES IN LOT NINE, SAYING THAT HE REMOVED THE ONE DERELICT TRUCK THAT HE HAD ON HIS PROPERTY OR ON HIS LOT, NOT NECESSARILY HIS PROPERTY, BUT ASSOCIATED WITH HIS LOT. ON JULY 27TH, WHEN HE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY, OBVIOUSLY REMAINED IN VIOLATION BUT STARTING TO MAKE MORE PROGRESS THERE. ON LOT 22. SAME WITH 22. I DID POST THE PROPERTIES THAT DAY AS WELL. SO STILL OUGHT TO CLEAN IT UP.

THERE'S ANOTHER PILE THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWED UP A JUNK, YOU KNOW, 77, YOU KNOW, RANDOM APPLIANCES THERE IN THE BACK LOT SIX. OR I POSTED FOR THE HEARING. PICTURES PRETTY MUCH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THERE. THE TRUCK IS GONE. NOW, OBVIOUSLY WHEN HE STAYED IN AN EMAIL. POSTED LIKE 6 OR 9, I'M SORRY, THERE'S SOME IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE PUTTING SOME JUNK INSIDE THAT TRAILER TO HAUL IT OFF. CAMPERS STILL THERE. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE OTHER DERELICT VEHICLES ARE STILL THERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

AS STATED ON THE 27TH, ALL THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED, AN AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE AND A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING ARE ATTACHED AS EVIDENCE IN THIS FILE. BY SHAWN. TAG WASN'T CURRENT. AND I POSTED THE ENTRANCE AS WELL. JULY 30TH. A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING AND COMPLIANCE HEARING WAS POSTED ON THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT'S WEBSITE. COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING AND CLERK'S AFFIDAVIT ARE ATTACHED IN THE FILES AS AN EXHIBIT F AUGUST 3RD. BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S AND OWNERSHIP HAS REMAINED THE SAME AND TAXES ARE DELINQUENT FROM 2024 AUGUST 10TH, WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY.

IT REMAINS IN VIOLATION. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE HERE AT LOT 22, HE HAS GOT ALL THAT STUFF GONE ON THE LEFT OF THE TRAILER. THERE. IT'S LOT. 1091 TEN. IS MINIMAL THINGS THERE NOW. MR. CRAIG HAD

[00:35:13]

A COMPLIANCE HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 17TH AT 1 P.M. HERE AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER. OKAY? OKAY. CRAIGHEAD, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO FIRST, TELL US YOUR NAME AND GIVE US A GOOD MAILING ADDRESS? JUSTIN CRAIGHEAD, 33, 13 EAST BALDWIN ROAD. OKAY. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW? I TRYING MY BEST TO GET IT ALL INTO COMPLIANCE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH MORE TIME I'VE GOT. AND. THE LITTLE GRAY BOAT RIGHT THERE IN THAT PICTURE. THE TRAILERS TAGGED, THE BOATS REGISTERED, WORKING ON GETTING THE TRAILERS TAGGED. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF TAGS FOR A COUPLE OF TRAILERS, AND JUST TRYING TO GET IT CLEANED UP WELL. THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE A REPEAT OFFENDER. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND, AND IF I GET IT CLEANED UP AND EVERYBODY MOVED OUT, I WON'T HAVE SOME ISSUES. THAT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM. I MEAN, IF YOU KNOW, SOMETIME IT'S THE. THE HABITAT HAS THE VERMIN. AND SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR TENANTS TURN OUT TO BE THE VERMIN. ARE YOUR ARE ALL OF YOUR TENANTS COOPERATING WITH YOU TO CLEAN THIS UP OR. ABSOLUTELY. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE DOING THE MAJORITY OF THE CLEANING. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I MEAN, JUST TO BE HONEST, WE'RE SIMPLY JUST TRYING TO COMPLY. WELL, THE PROBLEM IS. THEY COMPLY AND THEN THEY START LETTING IT BUILD BACK UP AGAIN. BUT IF AND, YOU KNOW, EITHER YOU'VE GOT TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS. I MEAN, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE IT IS MY FAULT. YOU KNOW, I'M I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT IT'S THEIR STUFF, BUT IT IS MY FAULT TO ALLOW IT TO GET TO WHERE IT IS. BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU IT WON'T BE IN THE FUTURE. I MEAN, I IT'S ONE OF THOSE GUYS. I TAKE MY WORD. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M. I'M TRYING TO GET IT BACK RIGHT AND DO RIGHT. WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEM WITH THE WITH SCRAPPERS. THEY THEY START OUT AS SCRAPPERS AND THEN THEY TURN INTO HOARDERS.

YEAH. AND IT'S IT'S JUST. I ASK THE QUESTION. PARDON? I ASK A QUESTION. SURELY. MR. CRAIGHEAD, WHEN DID YOUR IN-LAWS PASS? TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. TWO YEARS AGO. I COULDN'T GIVE YOU THE

[00:40:01]

HER ALL HER LIFE. I AT THIS TIME I, I WILL BASED ON YOUR QUESTIONS, I WILL WITHHOLD A FINDING OF REPEAT OFFENDER UNTIL YOU DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSFER OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE LAST VIOLATIONS OR NOT. I DO RECALL PAST PROPERTIES AND IT WAS MR. MCEACHERN OR MRS. ONE OF THE KITCHENS THAT WE WORKED WITH. IT WASN'T MR. GRAY SO THAT'S WHY. ALL RIGHT. BUT REGARDLESS, IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. BASED ON THE. TESTIMONY THAT I'VE HEARD. I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED. EXCUSE ME. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO ADD? ALL RIGHT. TELL US YOUR NAME AND GIVE US A GOOD MAILING ADDRESS. BRANDON BARBER 3307 EAST BALDWIN ROAD, LOT 22. OKAY. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW? I JUST WANT TO SAY, I JUST MOVED TO THE TRAILER RECENTLY AND I WAS COMING FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT, AND I HAD TO GET ALL MY STUFF AND EVERYTHING, SO IT WAS ALL KIND OF STRUNG OUT. I AIN'T BEEN THERE LONG, BUT I'VE GOT IT PRETTY CLEANED UP NOW. THE TRAILER OR THE CAMPER IS GONE.

THE TRAILER. I HAD IT TAGGED AND REGISTERED JUST THE OTHER DAY. I GOT PROOF OF IT RIGHT HERE. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE ATVS. ALL THAT STUFF'S GONE OUT OF THERE NOW. I MEAN, I HAVE A COUPLE LEFT, BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO. I TAKE THEM, I REBUILD THEM AND SELL THEM. SO WELL. BUT I HAVE LIKE TWO FOUR WHEELERS, A GO CART AND A DIRT BIKE. YEAH. THE THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF YOU DON'T GET A BUYER FOR THEM OR YOU HAVE A PROBLEM DOING THE REPAIRS AND EVERYTHING, THEN THEY JUST CONTINUE TO BUILD UP. YEAH. AND SO WELL, AND I JUST HURT MY BACK RECENTLY. I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY BACK TOO. SO I'VE BEEN KIND OF SLOW TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING RIGHT. WELL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BACK, DON'T TAKE ANYTHING ELSE TO REPAIR. RIGHT? RIGHT. I MEAN, BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S GETTING THE INITIAL PICTURES LOOK LIKE SANFORD AND SON. I MEAN, IT'S BAD. AND THAT'S I JUST MOVED THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THE PEOPLE AROUND THAT PARCEL OF PROPERTY DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE SANFORD AND SON THERE, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT ANYMORE. WELL, I HOPE IT WON'T LOOK THAT WAY AGAIN, SO. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR, THAT'S IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS GENTLEMAN, I THINK, WANTED TO SPEAK ALSO.

YES. RUSSELL. STEVENS. HOLTON, GET UP TO THAT MICROPHONE BECAUSE. RUSSELL STEVENS 3307 EAST BALDWIN ROAD. I THINK YOU GOT IT LASTED A LOT. TWO NO I JUST WANTED TO SAY WE MR. CRAIGHEAD HAS MORE PROPERTIES THAN THIS. AND A LOT OF THIS STUFF YOU'RE SEEING, IT LOOKS SCATTERED OUT. YES, I ADMIT, AND I PUT A FENCE UP TO KEEP EVERYBODY FROM, YOU KNOW, KEEP IT ALL CONTAINED. AND WHAT IT IS, IS WE HAVE A YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO KEEP THEM ALL UP. YOU KNOW, WE GOT PVC PIPE OUT THERE. WE GOT LUMBER WE USE WE USE IT ON ALL THE REST OF THE PROPERTIES. IT LOOKS BAD NOW BECAUSE WE GOT TWO ZERO TURNS DOWN. BOTH MOTORS ARE DOWN ON ZERO TURN. SO I AIN'T BEEN ABLE TO CUT. WE'D EAT THE GRASS. IT LOOKS REALLY BAD, I ADMIT, BUT IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT DID THE OTHER DAY. I'VE BEEN. AND MR. CLARKSON HAS SAID THAT THERE IS AN EFFORT TO CLEAN IT UP, AND I APPRECIATE THAT EFFORT TO CLEAN IT UP. BUT THE THE PROBLEM IS IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY. I MEAN, BECAUSE OF THE THE PRIOR

[00:45:06]

WE DON'T WANT TO GO SPECIFY ON THE PROPERTY EITHER ON ALL YOUR CALLS. WHAT IS THE QUESTION? CAN YOU SPECIFY ON WHO YOU WERE GETTING CALLED TO? NOT WITHOUT DOING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH. I HAVE A CAD SUMMARY WHICH LISTS OUT THE CALLS TO THE PROPERTY. I WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON THAT. AND I'M ALSO RESEARCHING WHETHER MR. MCEACHERN AND MRS. MCEACHERN, WHEN THEY WERE PASSED AWAY. SO I'LL GET THAT ANSWER TO ALL YOUR CALLS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY ONE SPOT. THE PASSING AWAY IS NOT GOING TO BE THE ELEMENT. THE ELEMENT IS GOING TO BE. WHEN THE TITLE WAS TRANSFERRED TO HIM. HE WASN'T THE OWNER. I CAN'T HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE FOR PRIOR CONDUCT. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THAT ISSUE GOES, BUT I DON'T YOU RECITED A NUMBER OF CALLS, SOME WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND SOME RIGHT BEYOND A MONTH AGO. SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOME SORT OF PROBLEM GOING ON OUT THERE. AND. SO I REALIZE THAT IF YOU'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE YARD, YOU MIGHT GET THIRSTY AND HAVE TO. HOLD ON. JUST HOLD ON. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING THIS TO A SCREECHING HALT. SO. ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU LIVE OUT THERE, SIR? YES. I'M ALIVE. NUMBER 63317. ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP FRONT AND TELL US YOUR NAME AND GET. WAIT TILL YOU GET TO THE MICROPHONE WHEN YOU START. ROY CARVER, 3307 EAST BALDWIN ROAD. SO WHAT WHAT ARE YOU IN ABOUT SIX OKAY. SO IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY, THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE PROPER REMEDY IS TO CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEM REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY. THAT HAS TO BE DONE. I CAN'T I CAN'T AVOID THAT, YOU KNOW. WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY PROPERTY? YOU HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE. THAT'S I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO YOU CAN'T HOLD THAT AGAINST SOMEBODY.

THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU HAD THAT MANY RECURRING CALLS. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS DRAWING THOSE PEOPLE TO THE LOT. I'M TRYING TO STOP THE. WE'RE TRYING TO STOP THE. WELL, IT'S GOING TO COME TO A HALT. IT'S GOING TO COME TO A HALT. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? I'LL ADD ONE THING, MR. CARVER. I MEET WITH HIM ONCE A MONTH. PRIOR TO OPENING THIS CASE, I WARNED HIM REPEATEDLY ABOUT THE BUILD UP AT HIS PLACE, SO HE'S VERY MUCH AWARE. I TRIED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE BEFORE I OPENED THE CASE BECAUSE IT WAS CLEANED UP SO WELL LAST TIME, BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY, LOCATED AT 3307 EAST BALDWIN ROAD, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY. THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF TENANTS ON THE PREMISES. HAVE A SEAT, SIR, AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT AND THIS THIS PARCEL. AT THE PRESENT TIME, I AM GOING TO WITHHOLD MAKING A SPECIFIC FINDING THAT THIS IS A REPEAT VIOLATOR UNTIL WE DETERMINE THE POINT AT WHICH MR. CRAIGHEAD BECAME THE. HIS NAME WENT ON THE TITLE. THERE IS A VIOLATION OF 1702 ON THE PREMISES IN THE FORM OF APPLIANCES, JUNK, DERELICT VEHICLES AND UNSCREENED OR UNUSED PERSONAL PROPERTY ON THE PREMISES. IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN CLEANING IT UP, I'M GOING TO GIVE HIM.

SEPTEMBER THE 17TH AS OUR. YES, SIR. ALRIGHT.

[00:50:12]

ANYTHING ELSE I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE. STRUCK LIKE A SHED OR A TENT OR WHATEVER TO BE PUT UP THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE. YOU NEED TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S GOING TO CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT. WHAT IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH? THEY. THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT SUFFICIENT IS. MR. CLARKSON WILL GET WITH YOU ON THAT. I'M SURE IT CAN'T BE A TEMPORARY TEN. YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO WRITE IT ALL ON THERE. OKAY. WE'RE BACK HERE ON THE 17TH AT 1:00. THE DAILY FINE, $25 AND $20 IS THREE DAYS. YES AND YES. BACK ON SEPTEMBER 17TH. AND IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND TO SIGN RIGHT THERE, THAT WILL BRING US TO ITEM EIGHT. PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 105 SOUTH AVENUE. IT'S NEVER BEEN IN YOUR LIFE. CORRECT? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. OKAY. I MEAN, I'M ON WHATEVER SHE'S GOT ME ON, RIGHT? YEAH. IT JUST SHOWS THAT HER PARENTS, HER NAME ON YOURS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY STILL THERE. OH, YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S NOT THE CASE. ALL RIGHT. PROPERTY. SLIDE NUMBER TWO IS FOR LOCATIONS PURPOSES. THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS MILLVILLE. THIS IS THE EASTERN SHIPYARD AT THE VERY END OF. AND I THINK THE PAPER MILL IS.

CLOSER UP. AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. INITIALLY, WHEN THIS CASE WAS STARTED, WE HAD AN UNFIT, UNSAFE STRUCTURE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A. MADE IT A REPEAT. SO THAT DOES NOT APPLY.

CORRECT ANY ANY FURTHER BECAUSE THE VIOLATIONS ARE GOING TO BE FOR JUNK AND YARD DEBRIS. SO.

[00:55:03]

AND OBVIOUSLY AT THIS POINT IT'S NOT SCREENED. SO LIKE I STATED, THE FENCE WAS DOWN. I NOTICED IF YOU GO TO SLIDE SEVEN, THERE WAS A LOT OF TREE DEBRIS IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE. SO LOOKING BACK INTO THE PROPERTY ON SLIDE EIGHT. THIS IS ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, ANOTHER PILE OF DEBRIS. THAT'S THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AS IT LOOKS FROM THIS SIDE, OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A HOLE IN THE ROOF AS WELL. THIS IS ANOTHER CLOSE LOOK AT THE DEBRIS PILE. THAT'S THE FRONT RESIDENCE THAT THAT THE CURRENT THAT THE ORIGINAL CASE WOULD HAVE MADE THIS A REPEAT. THAT HOUSE HAD BEEN TAKEN BEFORE FOR UNSAFE, UNFIT.

AND HE WAS STILL DOING REPAIRS ON THE BACK PART OF THAT HOUSE. THAT'S WHAT THE WRAPPING IS.

BASED ON THAT I DID ASK IN BUILDING INSPECTOR SCOTT THORPE, COME OUT AND DO A BUILDING INSPECTION. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT HIM TO GO, BUT SINCE IT'S BEEN CORRECTED. BASICALLY THERE WAS SOME SOME ISSUES HERE. THAT BUILDING INSPECTOR THORPE FOUND ON THE FIRST STRUCTURE THAT HADN'T BEEN ADDRESSED THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED RAPPING AND AND KIND OF COVERED UP THE WOODING THAT WAS WAS THERE IN PLACE WHEN HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE, JUST LIKE I SAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, HIS CONTRACTOR CONTACTED ME, SENT US A PLAN OF ACTION. THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PLAN OF ACTION. THEN AFTER THAT, INSPECTOR THORPE REVIEWED IT, SAID THEY ADDRESSED ALL THE DETAILS. WHAT THIS ENDED UP BEING WAS BASICALLY A CLOSED IN PORCH THAT WENT AROUND A CONCRETE BLOCK BUILDING. THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY ON TO THAT PART OF THE ACCESSORY, NOT TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE ITSELF. YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SEE IN THE LAST PHOTOS THAT THERE'S A CONCRETE BLOCK BUILDING THERE THAT YOU REALLY COULDN'T TELL WAS THERE. BECAUSE THIS JUST IN CASE, THE WHOLE THING. THESE ARE PHOTOS HE TOOK ON THE PROPERTY. AS I SAID, AS LONG AS THE PROPERTY SCREEN HE CAN MAINTAIN, THESE DO DUE TO HIS HIS ZONING. I DID SEND OUT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOTICE OF HEARING ON JUNE 1ST, AND CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING ADDRESS 105 SOUTHEAST AVENUE, WHICH IS LISTED IN PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED ON JUNE 4TH. THE REGULAR MAIL NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING AND COPY OF PROPERTY APPRAISER, ALONG WITH PROOF OF CERTIFIED MAIL DELIVERY, WERE INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE CONTAINED IN THIS FILE. ON JUNE 4TH, I RETURNED A CALL TO MR. PARISH. WE PLAYED PHONE TAG FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. AS I STATED. I DID. I'M SORRY. JUNE 5TH. INSPECTOR THORPE HAD A HAD A MEETING WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTOR SAFETY BUILDING INSPECTOR DOWNSTAIRS WHO HAD WORKED ON THE PREVIOUS CASE, AND I THINK MR. PARRISH HAD REACHED OUT TO HIM AND THEY.

INVESTIGATOR THORPE TOLD THEM THE THINGS THAT KIND OF NEEDED TO BE DONE THAT WEREN'T UNFORTUNATELY ADDRESSED AT THE FIRST HEARING. JULY 15TH, I RETURNED THE CALL TO MR. PARISH.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEW VIOLATIONS AND AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. AND AT THAT TIME, HE SAID HE HAD A CONTRACTOR THAT THAT COULD PROVIDE US WHAT STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN WITH ON THE LOOK AT IT AND GET BACK WITH US. JULY THE 14TH. THAT CONTRACTOR, MR. MATT GRIFFITHS, DID CONTACT US, AS I STATED EARLIER, AND PROVIDED US WITH A SCOPE OF PLAN AND AND PROVIDED

[01:00:03]

OBVIOUSLY HE'S CONTINUING WORKING ON THE PROPERTY, MR. PARRISH. 21ST, WENT BACK AND RE-INSPECTED. HE'S AUGUST 10TH, REINSPECTED AND POSTED THE PROPERTY BACK ON THE 27TH. THIS IS HE IS NOW REMOVED THE SIDING. SO THIS IS THE PILE OF DEBRIS THAT'S OUT FOR THE SIDING. HE'S NOW HE'S COMPLETED THE FRONT SIDE OF THE SCREENING FOR THE FENCE. THEY'RE EXPOSED. THE BLOCK BUILDING IN THE BACK WHICH YOU KNOW THE ROOF ON. IT WAS FINE. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A NEW ROOF ON IT. HE DID GET A DEMOLITION PERMIT. IT WAS IN PROCESS. I THINK THE WORK GOT DONE BEFORE THE PERMIT WAS ACTUALLY ISSUED. BUT. HE DOES HAVE A PERMIT. HE DOES HAVE A PERMIT. YESTERDAY I DID SPEAK WITH THE DEPARTMENT. HE HE DID APPLY FOR THE ROOF, THE ROOF AND ELECTRICAL. SO THAT WAS APPROVED. OKAY. AND INSPECTOR THORPE, LIKE I SAID, VIEWED THESE PHOTOS THAT I TOOK ON THE 10TH AND HE, HE CONCURRED THAT NOW THESE THESE HOUSES ARE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BECAUSE OF THE ZONING. IS THE IS THE FENCE THE APPROPRIATE HEIGHT OR OKAY HEIGHT? YES, SIR. OKAY. SO IT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SCREENED. OKAY. YEAH. AND AND IT'S THE WHOLE FRONT PANEL IS DONE. HE JUST HAS THE SIDES WILL BE DONE WITH THAT. SO THAT'LL NEGATE ANYTHING. MAIN CONCERN NOW IS, IS THE JUNK OUT FRONT. I SPOKE TO HIM PRIOR TO THE HEARING. MR. PARRISH, WHO'S BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL AND WORKED WITH US AND GETTING ON TOP OF THIS STUFF. HE SPOKE TO THE CITY. I GUESS THEY'RE THERE IN ABOUT A WHAT DID YOU SAY, 4 TO 5 WEEKS, MAYBE. THEY WERE SHORT HANDED. THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB PICKING UP THE MATERIAL FOR ME. BUT THE LAST GO AROUND, IT TOOK THEM A WHILE. SO I CONTACTED THEM. WHEN THIS WAS GOING TO COME OUT, THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE SHORT HANDED AND THEY'RE MORE THAN A WEEK BEHIND, BUT THEY DEFINITELY WOULD COME OUT AND CLEAN IT ALL UP FOR ME. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY'RE SHORT HANDED. I MEAN, I I'VE KNOWN SOMEBODY THAT'S IN THAT SECTION DOWN THERE AND THEY, HE'S, I THINK THERE ARE 11 PEOPLE DOWN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SIGNIFICANT.

AND JUST, JUST FOR THE RECORD, HE IS THE PROPERTY OWNER, MR. PARRISH, AND HIS MAILING ADDRESS IS THE 105 SOUTHEAST AVENUE. SO RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE TWO DEBRIS PILES. DEBRIS PILES. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BUT. YOU DON'T NEED TO TO SCREAM THAT, RIGHT. HE'S HE'S HE'S GOT, HE'S WORKING ON THE TWO SIDES RIGHT NOW. OKAY. DID THE CITY GIVE YOU ANY IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COME OUT THERE AND GET IT WITHIN A WEEK? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NOW WHEN THEY COME OUT, DO THEY GENERALLY GET EVERYTHING THAT'S THERE OR DO THEY GET ONE LOAD AND GO ON? THEY HAVE LIKE A BOX TRUCK WITH A CRANE ON IT. YEAH. THEY LOAD GRAPPLE HOOK. YEAH. FULL. AND THEN THEY RIDE OFF. SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL LET IT ROLL TO THE NEXT WEEK. YEAH. SO I NEED A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE, THEY'RE THE DRIVING FORCE OF GETTING THAT CLEANED UP. I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND COMPLIANCE HEARING IS SEPTEMBER 17TH AT ONE. OKAY.

IF I GIVE HIM 20 DAYS TO CLEAN IT UP, THAT'LL GIVE HIM ENOUGH TIME, HOPEFULLY WITH THE CITY TO, TO GET THE, THE GRAPPLE TRUCK OUT THERE TO GET ALL THAT STUFF. IS THAT WORK WITH YOUR CALENDAR NOW? YEAH. AND THEN TEN DAYS OF FINES. YOU SAID WE TRY TO MAKE THE EQUAL 30 DAYS. OKAY. YOU KNOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. IF I IF I RECITE SOMETHING WRONG HERE, LET ME KNOW, MISS ASHMAN. SO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU 20 DAYS. LET ME GO AHEAD AND MAKE MY FINDINGS. I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 105 EAST OR SOUTH EAST AVENUE, IS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE NOTICE WAS OF THE HEARING WAS GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT. HE HAS APPEARED AND OFFERED INPUT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MATTER.

[01:05:03]

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 20 DAYS TO. TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE BY REMOVING ANY AND ALL JUNK DEBRIS PILES. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. CAN I HAVE A MOMENT? ONE MORE QUESTION. THE 20 DAYS. IT SEEMS FAIR, BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE CITY NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET THAT DEADLINE. WELL, AND IF YOU COULD GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER, THAT WAY WE CONFIRM THAT ALL THIS IS THE PROBLEM IS OUR NEXT DEADLINE. WE'VE GOT A DEADLINE THERE. SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE 20 DAYS I WILL CONSIDER ABATING THE FINE. YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THERE, WE'LL WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW TO TO COMPLY WITH OUR SCHEDULE AND EVERYTHING, I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THE 20 DAYS AND THEN WE'LL ADDRESS IT IF THERE'S AN ISSUE. AT THAT POINT, THERE WILL BE AN INITIAL FINE OF $200 AND A DAILY FINE OF $25 TO BE IMPOSED FOR A PERIOD OF TEN DAYS, OR UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, WHICHEVER SHALL OCCUR FIRST. THAT WILL BECOME A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY, BOTH REAL AND PERSONAL. LOCATED IN BAY COUNTY. IF THE PROPERTY IS OR WILL HAVE A COMPLIANCE HEARING ON SEPTEMBER THE 17TH. YES, SIR.

1:00 1:00 HERE IN THIS BUILDING. IF IT'S NOT BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BY THAT PERIOD IN TIME, IT WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF AN ABATEMENT ACTION BY THE COUNTY. IT'S AN ASPECT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ABATEMENT ACTION? THEY'LL GO OUT THERE AND CLEAN IT UP THEMSELVES AND CHARGE YOU FOR IT. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. OKEY DOKE. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN THIS SERVICE. SO ITEM J NEXT PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 311 CORONADO PLACE. FIRST SLIDE NUMBER TWO IS FOR LOCATION. THIS IS A PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS LAGUNA BEACH. THE PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN BLUE.

THIS IS LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY FROM THE STREET, STREET VIEW. IT'S A MOBILE SINGLE WIDE MOBILE WITH A DECKING THAT'S FALLING OFF. THERE'S AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO THE BACK WITH SOME ROTTED SIDING, SOME BROKEN WINDOWS. I REQUESTED A BUILDING INSPECTION, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED BY INSPECTOR THORPE ON MAY 1ST. HIS REPORT WAS ENTERED IN AS INTRODUCED AS EXHIBIT B, AND CONTAINED IN A CASE FILE. AGAIN, MAGISTRATE INSPECTOR THORPE SINGLE WIDE MOBILE HOME. IT WAS AT THE END OF MY INSPECTION, FOUND OUT TO BE OCCUPIED AFTER I REPEATEDLY BANGED ON THE DOOR. IT'S HAD AN ADDITION ADDED TO BOTH SIDES.

IT'S HAD A ROOF OVER PUT ON THERE THAT WAS UNPERMITTED AND IT'S IT DOESN'T MEET CODE. IT'S GOT TOO MUCH OVERHANG, NO FLASHING TO COVER UP THE FRONT. SUSCEPTIBLE TO UPLIFTING WINDS, OBVIOUSLY.

COLLAPSED CEILINGS, WATER INTRUSION TO THE WALL. AND AGAIN, MORE DOG FECES EVERYWHERE. AND THIS IS THE ACCESSORY WHICH IS HAS SEVERAL HOLES ROTTING, ROTTING TO THE FRAMING MISSING WINDOW. AND IT WAS AS SOON AS I TAGGED IT, A GENTLEMAN CAME OUT AND WAS NOT COOPERATIVE. AND I GAVE HIM MY INFORMATION AND PASSED IT ON TO INVESTIGATOR TRIPP. AS IT SITS.

UNFIT. UNSAFE. APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS. THREE DAYS LATER, MAY 4TH, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, MISS BONNIE PETERSON. SHE QUESTIONED THE INSPECTION, STATED HOW COME SHE WASN'T ADVISED OF IT? I TOLD HER IT WAS A SAFETY INSPECTION WHICH WAS CONDUCTED. I INFORMED HER THAT SHE WOULD BE RECEIVING A COPY OF THE BUILDING INSPECTION REPORT IN THE MAIL, AND WE DISCUSSED ON THE VIOLATIONS. SHE IS HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY, HOWEVER, AND SO ON MAY 7TH, A NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS SENT, CERTIFIED AND REGULAR TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD 311 CORONADO PLACE, PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA, 32413 AS LISTED IN THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW? WELL, AS I'VE DISCUSSED WITH JOE SEVERAL TIMES, THE AMOUNT

[01:15:02]

NO, SIR. OKAY. THEY'VE BEEN ON THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE TO THEM.

AND YOU SEE THAT ONE HAD A LOT OF STAINING. AND IT WAS THAT THAT LEFT ONE THERE. SO THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE WALL CONNECTION WITH THE MOBILE HOME AND INHIBITION WAS GONE. SO NOW IT'S AFFECTING THE MOBILE HOME WALL, RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY. THE PROBLEM IS THE PHOTOGRAPHS I'VE SEEN INDICATE THAT THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S IN ROUGH SHAPE AND IT'S IN ROUGH SHAPE. YEAH. SO. BUT WE'VE LIVED THERE FOR ALL THESE YEARS. WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, I KEEP THE YARD, I WELL THERE'S SOME OVERGROWN BUSHES FROM THE OTHERS THAT WE HAVEN'T TRIMMED. BUT YOU KNOW, I PAY MY TAXES, I TRY TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. AND YOUR, YOUR DISCUSSION ABOUT THE, THE REBUILDING OF THE THING IS ACCURATE. WHEN YOU GO TO START WORKING ON A MOBILE HOME, IT IS TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE, RIGHT? AND IT'S. THERE'S A POINT WHERE YOU START SUFFERING DIMINISHING RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENT. I MEAN, YOU, YOU COULD PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN THE HOUSE AND MAYBE GET IT RIGHT, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THROWING SOMETIMES YOU'RE THROWING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD. AND SO IT'S, IT'S A PROBLEM THERE. YEAH. YOU'VE INDICATED THAT YOU'VE TALKED WITH SMILEY'S DEMOLITION AND ALL OF

[01:20:07]

ALSO, THE SHED, I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD. I GOT THEM TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON JUST THE MOBILE HOME AND THE MOBILE HOME AND THE SHED. THAT SHED IS FULL OF MY HUSBAND'S TOOLS AND ALL KIND OF GADGETS AND STUFF, AND I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE FACING, SO I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD LEAVE THE SHED AND IT WOULD BE OKAY. NO, NO, IT'S IT'S IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IT IS ROTTING AND IT'S, IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO WORK. JUST TO ADD THAT IF SHE GOT A PERMIT TO REPAIR IT, SHE COULD KEEP IT. THERE YOU ARE. SHE GOT A PERMIT TO REPAIR THE SHED. SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP IT BECAUSE THE. YOU ARE ALLOWED A ACCESSORY WITHOUT A PRIMARY NOW. MY PROBLEM WITH GIVING YOU MORE TIME IS THAT ITS PRESENT CONDITION SCARES ME. I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO TO PUT IT. AND. YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT THAT ROOF, IF HE. THE BACK PART THAT WAS DONE IN MICHAEL AND WE DID GET A LITTLE HELP FROM FEMA, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DO A WHOLE ROOF. SO, YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND JUST DID THE BEST HE COULD WITH LIKE, I THINK WE GOT LIKE $500, YOU KNOW, SO I, THAT'S ROOF'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR QUITE A WHILE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT ROOF IS NOT APPROPRIATE. AND IT WASN'T, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO NAIL ON A ROOF, SO TO SPEAK. SO AND IT'S PROBABLY PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR, YOUR LEAKAGE AND ALL THAT. THAT'S, THAT'S CAUSING THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. BUT. WHAT ABOUT THE CHANCE OF YOU MOVING IN WITH YOUR MOTHER? I THINK SHE'S GOT SHE'S GOT A SMALL SPOT, A PLACE AND THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR US. I MEAN, AND SHE'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S 90 AND SHE NEEDS HELP AND I TAKE HER EVERYWHERE AND, YOU KNOW, SHE'S SHE WANTS TO LIVE BY HERSELF. YEAH. SHE DOES. AND SHE'S, SHE'S NOT SHE DOESN'T HANDLE A LOT OF COMMOTION VERY WELL. SHE LIKES QUIET. SHE LIKES YOURSELF. PROBABLY WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH YOUR SON IN THE MESS THAT HE'S LEAVING. YEAH.

OH YEAH. THAT WOULDN'T WORK. BUT THERE'S NOT THERE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE BEDROOM SPACE FOR TWO MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE IN. NOW, I STAY OVERNIGHT SOME IF SHE'S NOT DOING WELL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HER HEALTH IS AND SHE'S WOBBLY. IF SHE HAS A MORE WOBBLY DAY THAN THE OTHER, I'LL STAY, YOU KNOW, WORRYING ABOUT HER AT NIGHT. BUT I'M THERE QUITE A BIT. BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M BACK AND FORTH, BUT MY THINGS ARE THERE. SO I'M BACK AND FORTH GETTING THIS AND THAT, BUT. YEAH, HE'S HE'S MESSY. PARDON? THE DEMO PERMIT IS GOOD FOR A YEAR. SO THE. MISS ASHMAN HAS TALKED ABOUT THE THE DEMO PERMIT AND I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THEY HAD EXTENDED THE LIFE OF THAT. BUT THAT WILL BUY YOU SOME TIME IF YOU BUY A DEMO PERMIT. SMILEY SAID. THEY INCLUDED THAT IN MY ESTIMATE. SO THEY WOULD ACTUALLY APPLY FOR IT. WOULD THAT BE THE SAME AS THAT? THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ME. THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND MR. SMILEY. IF YOU WANT TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, THEY JUST SAID THAT THEY INCLUDED IT IN THERE, SO. WELL,

THE NEXT CASE B 7113 TIMBER RUN. CHRIS HUBBARD, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. ON MAY 26TH, 20, 2026, WE RECEIVED A COMPLAINT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS AND VEHICLES ON THIS PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY. I INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND FOUND IT IN VIOLATION OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, SECTION 941 AGRICULTURAL TIMBERLAND ZONES. ALLOWABLE USES IN THE FORM OF STORAGE ON A VACANT LOT. OH, I'M SORRY I GOT AHEAD OF MYSELF HERE. THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. AS YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S A CLOSE UP THERE OF TIMBER RUN. ON MAY 26TH. INSPECTED IT AND THIS IS FROM THE ROAD. AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL. THE CAMERA DOESN'T CAPTURE WHAT YOU CAN SEE WITH YOUR EYE, BUT THE BACKUP'S GOT THE FIRST PICTURE. THE TOP OF THAT THERE IS, I BELIEVE, A SHED ON A TRAILER THAT WAS FROM.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. IT'S SOME KIND OF STRUCTURE THERE. AND THAT'S JUST LOOKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. YOU CAN JUST SEE SOME CHAIRS THERE AND THEN SOME VEHICLES AND SOME KIND OF STRUCTURES THERE. AND THE VIOLATION BEING IT'S A VACANT LOT WITHOUT A PRIMARY STRUCTURE.

SO NONE OF THIS STUFF CAN BE THERE. IT HAS TO BE REMOVED OR STORED INSIDE A PERMITTED SHED OF WHICH NONE EXISTS THERE. MAY 27TH, THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS SENT TO CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL USING THE ADDRESS 7113 TIMBER RUN ROAD, YOUNGSTOWN, FLORIDA. 32466 IS LISTED IN BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. THE NOTICE WAS DELIVERED ON MAY 30TH AND 2026. THE REGULAR MAIL WAS NOT RETURNED. A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION COPY OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, ALONG WITH PROOF OF THE CERTIFIED MAIL DELIVERY, WAS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. JUNE 17TH. WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AGAIN. THIS IS FROM THE ROAD. YOU CAN SEE TWO VEHICLES, SOME CHAIRS, SOME PERSONAL PROPERTY OUT THERE. THAT'S AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE CORNER OF THAT STRUCTURE. IT LOOKS LIKE A SHED. I BELIEVE IT'S SITTING ON TRAILERS. MY BEST GUESS ON THAT. BUT IT'S SOME KIND OF STRUCTURE. JUNE 18TH NOTICE OF VIOLATION. NOTICE OF HEARING CERTIFIED.

REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING THE ADDRESS 7113 TIMBER RUN ROAD, AS INDICATED IN BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. NO RETURN OF SERVICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR EITHER LETTER. COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING. A COPY OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER IS INTRODUCED AS EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT C AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. JUNE 18TH COPY OF THE NOTICE HEARING WAS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY. COPY. THE NOTICE HERE IN AFFIDAVIT ARE INTRODUCED AS EXHIBIT D AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. COPY OF THE NOTICE HEARING WAS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ON JULY 30TH AND COPY OF THE NOTICE HERE IN THE CLERK'S AFFIDAVIT WAS INTRODUCED AS EXHIBIT E IN THE CASE FILE. AUGUST 4TH, 2026. WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AGAIN, THE SAME SHOTS. YOU'LL SEE THERE'S STILL THAT THING BEHIND THE BUSHES THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE VEHICLES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY ON THE PROPERTY.

THERE'S ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE. OH, ALL OF THESE SHOTS ARE FROM TIMBER RUN ROAD. LOOKING ACROSS THE PROPERTY, YOU SEE A VEHICLE THERE AND SOME PROPERTY OUT TO THE SIDE OF IT. AUGUST 5TH, CHECK THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER AND TAX COLLECTOR DATABASE SHOWS PROPERTY OWNERSHIPS NOT CHANGED. THE TAXES ARE DELINQUENT. SINCE 2023, NO COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM RESPONDENT ON THIS CASE TO DATE. SHE IS HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF. I BELIEVE NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED TO DATE. THIS CASE IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLIANCE HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2026 AT 1 P.M. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR TESTIMONY AT THIS POINT.

OKAY. IS THIS WITNESS BEEN SWORN? COME ON UP. YEAH, MA'AM, WERE YOU SWORN EARLIER? OKAY.

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? YES, HE IS. OKAY.

TELL US YOUR NAME AND GIVE US A GOOD MAILING ADDRESS. MY NAME IS PHYLLIS STEVENS HAND. I LIVE AT 7113 TIMBER RUN ROAD, YOUNGSTOWN, FLORIDA. 32466. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, MA'AM? SIR, WHEN I FIRST STARTED COMING IN HERE AND DOING EVERYTHING YOU HAD

IT'S NON-EXISTENT. BUT I HAVE PROOF THAT I PUT IT IN BECAUSE ME AND THE LADY DID IT TOGETHER FOR MY TINY HOUSE. I AM ON PROBATION. I CAN'T LEAVE THAT PROPERTY. THAT CABIN. YOU SEE, THE ONLY THING. IT'S GONE. IT PULLED OUT OF THERE THIS MORNING BECAUSE I RAISED CAIN.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GONE ON THE THIRD. THERE AIN'T NOTHING THERE BUT ME AND TAMMY. SHE HAD.

SHE HAD. THAT TRUCK IS NOT DERELICT AND NEITHER IS MINE. I'VE JUST GOT. I'M JUST STUCK CAMPING. WE KEEP IT NEAT. I'M MOSTLY AROUND MY PUMP HOUSE FOR WATER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT YOU ASKED ME TO DO, BUT I CAN'T. I'VE BEEN. THEY DUG HOLES IN MY YARD AND BURIED STUFF. THEY GIVE AWAY THINGS THAT ARE IN THE YARD. IT DON'T MATTER THAT SOMEBODY ELSE'S STUFF THEY'RE GIVING AWAY, BUT THEY GO THROUGH IT AND WHAT THEY DON'T WANT, THEY BURY. I CALLED EPA THIS MORNING. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY BURIED IN MY YARD. THEY TORE UP THE YARD. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ANY OF THAT. I WAS COMPLYING, AND NOW I DON'T. I GOT TO PAY 500 EACH. THEY WON'T LET ME GO IN MY MOTOR HOME AND MY FIFTH WHEEL TO GET MY BRIEFCASE OUT SO I CAN PROVE OWNERSHIP. I CAN'T GET EVEN A TOOTHBRUSH, BUT I GOT TO PAY 500 TO GET BOTH OF THEM BACK. AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP. WHERE IS THE MOTOR HOME? THEY ARE IN A ONE SEPTIC HAS THEM. THAT WAS THE PRIVATE CONTRACT. IT THE ONLY REASON I GOT MY MOTORCYCLE AND MY GENERATOR OFF OF THERE IS BECAUSE I HAD IT ALREADY. THEY LET ME. TIM JUSTICE. BUT HE BLOCKED ME FROM GOING BACK IN MY OWN YARD. THAT'S. NOBODY ASKED PERMISSION TO COME UP IN THERE LIKE THAT. WELL, IT LOOKED LIKE HE'S SHOOTING OVER A FENCE HERE. YEAH, HE. THAT'S MY TRUCK. I'M UNDER A SHADE TREE. YOU SAID COMING UP IN YOUR YARD. I DON'T IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE IN YOUR YARD. NO, THEY COME BEFORE THEY CAME THROUGH. THEY CUT THE THEY CUT THE WIRES FROM MY GATE. SO IT LAID. WHEN I GOT PULLED UP IN MY YARD, THE GATE WAS LAYING FLAT. IT WAS RUN OVER. THEY RUN OVER THE CONE TO THE BIG CONE TILL IT WAS LIKE THIS. SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE PREVIOUS CASE WHEN WE OBEY. YES. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. I WAS IT WAS ALL. IT WAS NICE AND NEAT. I HAD MY KENNEL UP EVERYTHING. THEY TOOK MY KENNEL FOR MY DOGS. ONE OF MY DOGS GOT RUN OVER. WELL, THAT SHE CAN'T LIVE IN A CAMPER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON PROPERTY. NO, I'M SLEEPING IN A TRUCK. NO, NO. AND SHE'S WHAT SHE'S BRINGING UP IS THAT THE PREVIOUS CASE HAS ALREADY BEEN FILED TO CLEAN HER PROPERTY FOR THE SAME KIND OF BITE. SHE WAS LIVING IN AN RV AT THE TIME. LAST CASE. YOU CAN LIVE IN AN RV IF YOU HAVE A BUILDING PERMIT. BUILDING PERMIT, WHICH SHE NEVER DID YET I THINK. HOW

[01:45:04]

I HAD HAD DID EVERYTHING YOU ASKED ME TO DO. I PUT THE PERMIT IN AND ALL. WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE STATUS OF THINGS WERE AS IT PROGRESSES. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THE APPROPRIATE BUILDING PERMITS IN PLACE TO LIVE IN A MOBILE HOME OR A CAMPER OR WHATEVER RV OUT THERE. SO THE WHAT'S LET'S SEE. YOU HAD TOLD ME THAT I COULD STAY IN IT UNTIL I GOT MY TINY HOUSE BUILT. AS LONG AS THE PERMITS AND EVERYTHING WAS DONE. WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PERMIT IN PLACE BEFORE YOU CAN LIVE IN THOSE KIND OF THINGS. I WASN'T LIVING IN IT. WELL. I WAS SLEEPING IN MY TRUCK. THERE'S A WELL, THERE'S THERE'S STORIES YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STORE STUFF ON, ON THESE KIND OF PLACES. ABSENT. MY SISTER MOVED IT THERE BECAUSE BEFORE SHE DIED, BECAUSE I WAS COMING HOME AND I NEEDED SOMETHING TO SLEEP IN. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF YOUR NEEDS HAVE BUTTED HEADS WITH THE REGULATIONS. I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PUT IT. IN THAT WAY. SINCE I MOVED ON THAT PROPERTY. PARDON? IT'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I MOVED ON THAT PROPERTY. EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND, I WAS GETTING SOMETHING FROM CHRIS AND I COMPLY, I DO IT, I DID ONE AND I WAS LIKE TWO HOURS BEFORE IT WAS DONE AND I STILL GOT CHARGED $960. AND THEN THIS TIME THEY CHARGED ME $2,850. THE. WHEN HE TORE DOWN MY HOUSE, THEY PUSHED EVERYTHING TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY. ONE OF THE TRAILERS WAS COMING UP OUT OF THE GROUND THAT HAD WAS LOADED DOWN WITH WOOD. IT'S COMING UP OUT OF THE GROUND NOW. APPARENTLY THAT PROPERTY IS WHAT THEY CALL AN AG TWO. THAT'S SOME SORT OF AGRICULTURAL TIMBERLAND ZONE.

AND IT'S IT SAYS THAT THAT THERE ARE ONLY CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE ALLOWED THERE. AND IT TALKS ABOUT FORESTRY ACTIVITIES. AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT FORESTRY SUPPORT SERVICES, FIRE TOWERS. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. BUT YOU CAN'T USE IT FOR STORAGE. IS THAT AM I READING THAT CORRECTLY. CORRECT. AND YEAH, IT'S AND IT IT IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL TIMBERLAND, BUT IT IS NOT A BONA FIDE, WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO FOR AGRICULTURAL YOU HAVE TO REGISTER WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, THE GREEN BELT STATUS OR WHATEVER. TO PROVE THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE USING IT FOR, YOU KNOW, TO RAISE CATTLE OR CHICKEN, OR BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A REDUCED TAX RATE. RIGHT. AND, AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE LOTS ARE BEING DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL NOW. SO THEY ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING.

AGRICULTURAL CAN EXEMPT YOU FROM SOME PERMITS. AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE IT CAN EXEMPT YOU FROM SOME PERMITS. OH, OKAY. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHY IT HAS TO BE A BONA FIDE USE, NOT JUST LIKE ACCESSORY PERMITS FOR LIKE POLE BARNS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT BEING LEVITATED, IF IT'S AGRICULTURAL FARMLAND, THEY THEY ALLOW YOU TO DO IT. OTHERWISE IT FALLS UNDER THE ZONING. THE ONLY THING THERE IS ME AND TWO TRUCKS, AND I MAKE A LITTLE FIRE AT NIGHT AND COOK FOOD. I HAVE A PERMIT TO FOR THAT TO MAKE A FIRE. WELL, THE PROBLEM IS, IS THE IS THE STORAGE ASPECT OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE. AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW

[01:50:04]

MODULAR STICK BUILT OLD BARN OR BARNDOMINIUM. OKAY. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT GETTING YOU SOME SORT OF RESIDENCE THAT'S APPROVED THERE.

YOU CAN'T LIVE IN YOUR TRUCK. I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PUT IT. I CAN'T GO AGAINST THE CIRCUIT COURT. I'VE ASKED HIM, CAN I GO GET SOMEWHERE ELSE AND I CAN'T. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO BE THERE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR THING. WHO IS THIS PROBATION OFFICER? STATE PROBATION OFFICE.

WELL, I YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THEM BECAUSE I SURELY DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY DO. BUT I EVEN ASKED HER TO COME DOWN HERE WITH ME TODAY. BUT SHE SHE SHE HAD OTHER SHE HAD MEETINGS SHE HAD TO GO TO. AND SHE COULDN'T DO IT. WELL. HAVE YOU GIVEN HER THE PAPERWORK THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED ON ALL OF THIS STUFF? YES. YOU KNOW, SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING. SHE KNOWS. SHE KNOWS. WHEN THEY CAME INTO MY. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A TOOTHBRUSH, UNDERWEAR, AND ALL MY MEDICATIONS WAS IN THERE. SO I'M A LITTLE. WELL, I KNOW WE'VE RUN INTO THIS BEFORE WITH THE STATE PROBATION. AS LONG AS SHE CHANGES HER ADDRESS WITH THEM AND NOTIFIES THEM, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE HAD THIS IN THE PAST. I WILL JUST SAY IN THE PAST. THEY COULD HAVE THAT TRAILER ON THERE IN A MONTH, HE SAID. SO, BUT AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHY IS THERE NO PERMIT? THERE IS NO PERMIT SUBMITTED IN THE SYSTEM. WE'VE GOT, WE'RE SAYING GOT A MOBILE HOME. IT'S GOING TO BE THERE IN A MONTH, BUT THERE'S NO PERMIT YET FOR THAT MOBILE HOME. SO I JUST GOT A SIGN. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PERMITTING. YOU'VE GOT TO YOU'VE GOT TO DO WHAT THEY NEED. THE PERMIT IN FOR THE TINY HOUSE. I PUT THE SCHEMATICS IN. ALL THE ELECTRICAL, EVERYTHING. ALL THAT WAS PUT IN. I GOT COPIES OF IT. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. YOU'VE. THERE'S A CONTINUING PROCESS WHERE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL IS REQUIRED, BUT THERE IS. MR. THORPE JUST WENT OVER A

[01:55:03]

DID THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THAT POINT? THEY CHARGED ME FOR IT. YES. NOT THAT. NOT THAT POINT.

DID THEY DID THEY EVER CONTACT YOU TO CHARGE YOU FOR THAT PERMIT? NOT YET. IT WAS INBOUND.

SO WHAT HAPPENS ONCE IT GOES THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AND IT SAYS IT'S GOOD. THE BUILDING PART WILL CONTACT YOU AND SAY YOUR RENT HAS BEEN APPROVED. I WILL PAY FOR IT. YOU MOVE FORWARD. THAT WAS NEVER DONE. THEN THE CURRENT WAS EITHER TOSSED FROM INADEQUATE PAPERWORK. LACK OF SUBMITTAL FOR APPROVED OR PAPERWORK THAT WAS NECESSARY OR SOMETHING. SO YEAH, IT WAS A WHAT DO YOU CALL THE. INCOMPLETE, I GUESS, BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN. YEAH, THE SYSTEM'S NOT EVEN FOR MY FIRST TIME, SO I'M SORRY, I. HEY, DEALING WITH GOVERNMENT IS CONFUSING. I'M THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT. BUT THE FACT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, TALK WITH YOUR PROBATION OFFICER ABOUT APPLYING FOR A. CHANGE OF ADDRESS. YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I OWN THIS PROPERTY. MY NAME IS ON THIS PROPERTY. I'VE HAD THIS PROPERTY, BUT YOU ARE NOT MAKING THE APPROPRIATE USE OF THAT PROPERTY. SO I, I CAN'T, I CAN'T, I'VE ONLY BEEN HOME EIGHT MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY BUTT TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING EVERYBODY'S ASKING ME TO DO, AND I'M LOSING EVERYTHING. I HAVE NOTHING, Y'ALL. WHEN THEY TOOK THAT MOTOR HOME IN THAT FIFTH WHEEL, THEY TOOK MY HOUSE AND THEY TORE DOWN AND THEY TOOK EVERYTHING. I HAVE NOTHING TO ONE PICTURE OF MY DADDY AND ME.

AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT. YOU KNOW, I AM SURE THAT PROBATION PAROLE HAS SOME SORT OF PROGRAM WHERE THEY CAN HELP YOU GET INTO. I'VE ASKED THEM. OKAY, WELL, I YOU KNOW, I CAN'T MAKE THEM DO THINGS. I DON'T HAVE THE CONTROL OVER THEM. BUT WHAT I CAN DO IS SAY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE RULES. CAN'T SLEEP IN MY TRUCK ON MY OWN PROPERTY. PARDON? I CAN'T SLEEP IN MY TRUCK ON MY OWN PROPERTY.

I DON'T THINK SO. THERE'S NO MESS THERE. IT'S JUST MY TRUCK. WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE THE WISDOM. I KNOW OF THE RULES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT THE FACT IS, THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF RULES THAT I DON'T LIKE. BUT GUESS WHAT? I GOTTA COMPLY WITH THEM TOO. SO TOUCH WITH A LAWYER. SO. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THAT CHAPTER 17 AND CHAPTER NINE OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS SAY YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS KIND OF USE FOR YOUR OF YOUR PROPERTY. SO. I WOULD ADD TO THAT IF, IF SHE'S DEALING WITH A REPUTABLE MOBILE HOME COMPANY, THEY PULLED THE PERMITS TO PUT, THEY WOULD PUT THE MOBILE, PUT THE MOBILE HOME ON THERE. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IF YOU YEAH, THEY'RE DOING IT ALL IN A MONTH, THEN TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND EVERYTHING. YEAH. SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE SHE DOESN'T APPLY FOR THE PERMIT. THE MOBILE HOME COMPANY APPLIES FOR IT. SO I WOULD GET WITH THOSE PEOPLE AND, AND TELL THEM, LOOK, I'M IN DESPERATE SITUATION RIGHT NOW AND I NEED YOU TO ADDRESS THIS. GET ME A MOBILE HOME UP THERE, YOU KNOW? AND, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE MORTGAGING YOUR THE WHOLE PARCEL TO DO THAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THEY GOT A RIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE EXPENDITURE IS RIGHT. I'M NOT GOT NOTHING AGAINST THE THING.

I DESIGNED THE TRAILER SO I GOT I'M GETTING WHAT I WANT BUT WELL I, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU MOVE ON THAT RAPIDLY. BECAUSE. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. BASED ON EXCUSE ME, ON THE TESTIMONY THAT I'VE HEARD IN THE EXHIBITS I'VE SEEN, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7113 TIMBER RUN ROAD IN YOUNGSTOWN, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE AND CHAPTER NINE OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT.

DEPUTY PROCTOR WITH THE BAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, 3421 HIGHWAY 77. I ACTUALLY HAVE A CAD SUMMARY OF THIS PROPERTY ON LOOKS LIKE MARCH 2ND, 2026. WE RESPONDED TO A DRUG OFFENSE AT THE LOCATION. I WAS NOT THE PRIMARY OFFICER, BUT I DID BACK THE OFFICERS UP AND I SAW THE STATE OF THE PROPERTY. AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTIFIED MR. CLARKSON OR OFFICER AND INVESTIGATOR CLARKSON. WE HAVE HAD WE HAVE HAD REPEATED DISTURBANCES AT THIS PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, IT HAS DIED DOWN. WE HAD NUMEROUS DISTURBANCES BACK IN THE 2022. AND THEN IT DIED DOWN. AND THEN WE STARTED GETTING SOME CALLS STARTING IN 2025. NOTHING TOO SERIOUS, BUT WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE. WE HAD. A TRESPASS. ON MARCH 5TH OF THIS YEAR. THE DRUG OFFENSE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION ON MARCH 2ND AND A CIVIL THAT OCCURRED ON MARCH 29TH. ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS HERE IS, I BELIEVE IN SOME OF THOSE PICTURES. WE COULD SEE ELECTRICAL CORDS RUNNING OUT INTO THAT STRUCTURE. IT'S WITHIN LIKE 2 OR 3FT OF A WOODEN FENCE. AND IT'S A HEAVILY IT'S A VERY DENSELY POPULATED RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH A LOT OF TRAILERS AND THEN A LOT OF BRUSH LINE NEARBY. SO IF WE GET A FIRE, IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY BAD. THERE'S A COUPLE HUNDRED ACRES OF SAINT JOE PROPERTY, MAYBE TWO BLOCKS TO THE EAST OF THAT PROPERTY. SO THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERNS. THANK YOU. BASED ON MY INITIAL INSPECTION, I'VE HAD HAD PREVIOUS CASE CODE CASE VIOLATION THERE AND AND FOUND THAT THAT MRS. WILLIAMS USUALLY ADDRESSES ANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE. I DID SEND HER AN INFORMAL LETTER ON MARCH 2ND DESCRIBING THE VIOLATIONS. BASICALLY, THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND AND CLEANED UP. MARCH 9TH, I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM FROM A FEMALE IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS ELIZABETH LOVE, WHO SAID SHE IS A ALSO A GRANDDAUGHTER OF MISS WILSON.

SHE STATED THEIR TWO COUSINS DO LIVE ON THE PROPERTY, JORDAN BEING THE PROBLEM COUSIN THAT SHE THINKS THAT HE HAS A DRUG PROBLEM AND HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR GRANDMOTHER AND BRINGING ALL THESE ITEMS ONTO THE PROPERTY. HE WAS CURRENTLY AT THAT TIME INCARCERATED FOR WHAT SHE STATED THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT CAME OVER THERE AND HE RAN FROM HIM, GOT ARRESTED. THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO SERVE EVICTION PAPERWORK TO HIM WHILE HE WAS IN JAIL BECAUSE LIKE I STATED, THEY BELIEVE THAT SHE'S TAKING HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR GRANDMOTHER AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO MOVE FORWARD AND CLEAN THIS PROPERTY UP. WHILE HE WAS IN JAIL, I HAVE HAD NO MORE CONTACT WITH MISS LOVE. ON

[02:30:02]

OBVIOUSLY THE THE TEMPORARY STRUCTURE, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT A STRUCTURE, IS BACK THERE, ALONG WITH ALL THE JUNK AND STUFF HE HAS BROUGHT ONTO THE PROPERTY. PROPERTY BEING IN VIOLATION ON THE 20TH, I RE-INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AGAIN. SOME OF THE JUNK STARTED COMING BACK. I BELIEVE JORDAN GOT OUT OF JAIL AND STUFF IN THE REAR IS STILL THERE. SO BASED ON THAT, I STILL HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONTACT WITH MISS WILSON. I ISSUED A NOTICE OF VIOLATION, WAS SENT CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING THE ADDRESS OF 3519 EAST BALDWIN FROM THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. A CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED. THE REGULAR NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED A COPY OF THE NOTICES, AND THE PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS B ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT IN THIS CASE, MAY 26TH. WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY.

IT REMAINED IN VIOLATION. NOW AGAIN, MORE DEBRIS BACK UP FRONT AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THE STRUCTURE STILL REMAINS IN THE BACK. BASED ON THIS, I SCHEDULED A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING 3519 EAST BALDWIN, WHICH IS LISTED ON THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED ON MAY 29TH. THE REGULAR MAIL NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING AND PROPERTY APPRAISER, ALONG WITH PROOF OF CERTIFIED DELIVERY MAIL, IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE ON THIS CASE. JULY 6TH. I INSPECTED THE PROPERTY. IT REMAINED IN VIOLATION. MISS JORDAN RIGHT THERE. HE PUT UP A FENCE OR SOMEONE PUT UP A FENCE TO KIND OF BLOCK ON THE EAST, ON THE WESTERN SIDE, TO BLOCK ANY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE ROADWAY. JULY 7TH I WENT TO POST THE PROPERTY AND REINSPECT IT. AT THIS TIME, MRS. WILSON WAS SITTING OUT FRONT AS HER WALKING UP THE THE RAMP. SHE ACTED AS WAS. SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF OF WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT SHE WAS THE ONE THAT SIGNED THE THE CERTIFIED NOTICE. I HANDED HER THE POSTING. I ASKED HER IF JORDAN WAS STILL LIVING IN THE BACK. SHE. SHE SAID NO, THAT HE WAS INSIDE. I ASKED HER IF I COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND SHE LET ME GO LOOK AT THE PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S JUST A CLOSE UP OF THE TRAILER IN THE BACK. HE'S TRYING TO PUT UP PANELING TO TO CLOSE THAT WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE IT. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF JUNK BACK THERE. THERE OBVIOUSLY IS EVERYTHING HE'S TRYING TO SCREEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW. ON THE 10TH, I RE-INSPECTED THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION ON JULY THE 27TH. LIKE I SAID, I. I DID SERVE HER WITH HER NOTICE, AN AFFIDAVIT SHOWING THAT SHE WAS DELIVERED THAT WAS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE ON JULY 30TH. THIS PROPERTY WAS LISTED ON THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITE FOR THIS HEARING, AND COPIES OF THAT IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE. 30TH, THE OWNERSHIP HAS NOT CHANGED AND THE PROPERTY TAXES ARE GOOD. LIKE STATED ON THE. IT SAYS THE 13TH BUT THE 10TH. I'LL REINSPECT THE PROPERTY AND REMAIN IN VIOLATION. THAT'S A TYPO. AND THIS IS SCHEDULED FOR A COMPLIANCE HEARING ON JULY THE 17TH AT 1 P.M. AND I HAVE NO FURTHER TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT. DID YOU EVER HEAR FROM THE GRANDDAUGHTER AGAIN? NO, NOT ANOTHER WORD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 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 3519 EAST BALDWIN ROAD, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE, THERE IS A VIOLATION OF 1702 IN THE FORM OF AN UNFIT TEMPORARY STRUCTURE JUMP AND UNSCREENED OR UNUSED PERSONAL PROPERTY. THE RESPONDENT SHALL HAVE A PERIOD OF TEN DAYS TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE BY REMOVING THE TEMPORARY ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, REMOVE ANY AND ALL JUNK. REMOVE

[02:35:04]

IT'S THE RESPONDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CODE ENFORCEMENT THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, AND THE IN IN ORDER FOR THE FINES TO CEASE, THE FINE WILL BECOME A LIEN ON THE RESPONDENT'S PROPERTY, BOTH REAL AND PERSONAL. LOCATED HERE IN BAY COUNTY. IF THE PROPERTY IS NOT BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE AFTER A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS, IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO A COUNTY ABATEMENT ACTION. THE COMPLIANCE HEARING WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER THE 17TH AT 1 P.M. GREAT ITEM G PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 530 HIGHWAY 2297. SLIDE NUMBER TWO IS FOR LOCATION PURPOSES, IT IS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA, BAY COUNTY HIGHWAY 2297 AND OLD BICYCLE ROAD. CLOSER UP. AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. ON MARCH 16TH OF THIS YEAR, WE DID RECEIVE A COMPLAINT OF JUNK TRASH DERELICT VEHICLES DERELICT VESSELS ON THIS PROPERTY. THE COMPLAINANT GRANTED CODE ENFORCEMENT PERMISSION TO ENTER THEIR PROPERTY TO IDENTIFY THE VIOLATIONS. THE COMPLAINANT ALSO ADVISED A VESSEL HAD BEEN DUMPED ON HIS PROPERTY. AND ON MARCH 17TH, INVESTIGATOR ROBERT CLARKSON DID HIS INITIAL INSPECTION AND HE'S HERE TESTIFYING. ROBERT CLARKSON, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT I'VE SUBMITTED MY REPORT AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THIS CASE AND EXHIBITS AS MANAGER STATED, THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR MADE A COMPLAINT. JUST SO HAPPENED WE HAD A CASE ON THEM FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN AN RV. BUT IF YOU REMEMBER IN THAT FIRST PHOTOGRAPH THAT THIS PROPERTY IS KIND OF LIKE AN OCTAGON, IT'S IN A TRIANGLE. SO YES. YES SIR. SO THAT'S ON THAT SIDE OF THE RED LINE TO THE RIGHT. THAT'S THE VESSEL THAT WAS DUMPED ON THE PROPERTY. AND IF YOU GO UP TO THE BACKSIDE, THE THAT'S WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE BACKYARD OF THE PROPERTY.

THAT'S THE COMPLAINANTS PROPERTY THERE ALL ALONG THAT, THAT CORRIDOR. SO WHEN I DID MY INITIAL INSPECTION ON THE 17TH, THIS IS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE COMPLAINANTS PROPERTY, WHICH WILL BE THE REAR OF THE RESPONDENT'S PROPERTY HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S SIGNIFICANT OVERGROWTH BACK THERE. AND THERE'S A, A DERELICT RECREATIONAL VEHICLE.

WHAT YOU KIND OF HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING THE OCCUPATION OF THIS HOMEOWNER IS A IS A CRABBER. SO THERE'S A LOT OF, OF DISCARDED BOAT TRAILERS BACK THERE. THAT'S KIND OF, IT'S ALL KIND OF OVERGROWN. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE TONGUE OF ONE. THERE'S ANOTHER TRAILER RIGHT THERE. IT'S PART OF ANOTHER BOAT TRAILER. YOU CAN SEE THE KIND OF THERE'S A VESSEL BACK THERE. ALSO, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE WITH ALL THE OVERGROWTH, VERY SIGNIFICANT OVERGROWTH, A LITTLE SHED, THERE'S ANOTHER BOAT, SOME JUNK BACK BEHIND THE SHED. ACCESSORY. I'M COMING BACK TOWARDS TWO, TWO, NINE, SEVEN. THIS IS THE THE VESSEL THAT'S ON THE COMPLAINANTS PROPERTY. THIS IS NOW LOOKING INTO THE RESPONDENT'S PROPERTY. ANOTHER VESSEL PILE OF TIRES.

11 JUST LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY. THAT'S ACTUALLY A BOAT MOTOR THAT'S KIND OF HANGING ON A TREE THAT'S GOT A TARP OVER IT. ANOTHER VESSEL IN THERE, SOME CARS BACK IN THE BACK THAT ARE KIND OF HARD TO SEE, A LOT OF OVERGROWTH, A LOT OF STUFF IN THE YARD. THIS IS ON THE RIGHT OF WAY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. IT'S A JEEP. IT'S BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE.

IS THAT A FAN NEXT TO THE BACK TIRE, A PEDESTAL FAN, YES. OKAY. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT

[02:40:08]

TO DATE, THERE HAS NO BEEN RETURNED RETURNED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT AND OR NOTHING HAS BEEN RETURNED. A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE UPS OR UNITED POSTAL SERVICE TRACKING HISTORY WAS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS FROM THE BACKSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. MAY 28TH. IT WAS RE-INSPECTED. AGAIN, NO CHANGES OTHER THAN I WAS GETTING A LOT THICKER, NO CHANGES TO THE PROPERTIES OF THE BACK. BUT. THAT SHED THE BOAT WAS REMOVED. THAT'S BEEN THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT TO DATE. AS OF MAY 28TH, THAT WAS DONE TO THE PROPERTY. THAT WAS THE BOAT THAT WAS. YES, SIR. INITIALLY ON THE YES COMPLAINANTS PROPERTY. YES, SIR. AND I LEARNED THAT THEY DIDN'T REMOVE IT, THAT THE THAT THE RESPONDENT FOR THAT PROPERTY ACTUALLY GOT RID OF IT. STILL HAVE ALL THE THE VEHICLES AND VESSELS ON THE RIGHT OF WAY. NOTHING'S BEEN MOVED OTHER THAN THAT TRUCK. ON JULY 6TH, I RE-INSPECTED THE PROPERTY. I THEN ADDED AN ADDITIONAL VIOLATION OF OVERGROWTH TO THE PROPERTY. NO CHANGES IN THE PROPERTY. ON THE 13TH I SENT OUT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER OF RECORD USING THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. 530 HIGHWAY 2297. THERE HAS BEEN NO RETURN RECEIPT, NO RETURN CERTIFIED OR REGULAR MAILED NOTICES. COPY OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION IN HEARING WAS IN A COPY OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, ALONG WITH UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. TRACKING HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE. ON JULY 27TH, I WENT OUT AND POSTED THE PROPERTY.

THAT AFFIDAVIT IS INTRODUCING THE EVIDENCE FROM THAT POSTING. THE PROPERTY OWNER, MISS CINDY MILL LEDGER, CALLED ME AND REQUESTED THAT I MEET HER ON THE PROPERTY AND WALK THE PROPERTY WITH HER AND SHOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. ON THE 28TH, I DID MEET WITH HER. THIS IS PHOTOGRAPHS OF ME WALKING THE PROPERTY. THIS IS TO SHOW OBVIOUSLY THAT THE VEHICLE. IT HAS A CURRENT TAG, BUT YOU CAN TELL FROM THE OVERGROWTH THAT IT HASN'T GONE ANYWHERE. IN TALKING TO HER, SHE'S GONE OUT AND GOTTEN CURRENT REGISTRATIONS ON THE STUFF THAT YOU CAN SEE VISIBLE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. I THINK SHE HAD THE BELIEF THAT, YOU KNOW, A CURRENT TAG MAKES IT ALL OKAY. I TOLD HER JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A CURRENT TAG, IT STILL HAS TO BE OPERABLE AND, AND MOVED. YOU CAN'T STORE, YOU KNOW, THESE ITEMS ON THE RIGHT OF WAY. ANYHOW, IT'S ONE THING TO PARK, BUT YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN THROUGH THIS WHOLE CASE AND, AND BEING IN THAT AREA A LOT, SHE'S STORING ALL THESE ITEMS OUT FRONT. HER OCCUPATION IS A CRABBER. THEY CALL HER THE CRAB LADY UP THERE.

[02:45:04]

TRAILERS CURRENT. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OVERGROWTH THAT'S COMING UP THROUGH THE TRAILER.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT HADN'T GONE ANYWHERE IN A LONG TIME. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER LOOK AT THE RIGHT OF WAY. SHE WANTED ME, YOU KNOW, SAYING THAT THE RIGHT OF WAY IS OFF. I DID MEASURE IT FROM THE CENTER OF THE ROADWAY IS 40. YOU HAVE 40 FOOT, 40 FOOT CAME UP TO ABOUT THE REAR AXLE OF ALL THESE VEHICLES AND TRAILERS. SO THE REST OF IT IS OBVIOUSLY ON THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THIS MOTOR VEHICLE HERE HAD ALL FLAT TIRES, BUT IT DOES HAVE A CURRENT TAG. THE INTERIOR IS FULL OF JUNK, SO IT'S VERY APPARENT THIS CAR HASN'T GONE ANYWHERE IN QUITE SOME TIME.

THESE ARE ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE YARD. AS STATED. SHE'S SHE DOES COMMERCIAL CRABBING AND THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I REALLY SEE THAT SEEMS TO OPERATE, HAS A CURRENT TAG. I SEE IT COME AND GO FROM THE PROPERTY. LIKE I SAID, THIS VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT TAG, BUT IT HASN'T RUN OR HASN'T BEEN MOVED. IN TALKING WITH HER, SHE SHE SHE SAYS THE VEHICLES ARE OPERATED.

BUT WHEN I CALL HER OUT FOR EACH VEHICLE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S MOVED. WELL, THAT ONE NEEDS AIR IN THE TIRES. WELL, THIS ONE NEEDS A BATTERY. THE JEEP NEEDS A BATTERY. SO REALLY, THEY'RE NOT OPERABLE AND DERELICT. SHE CLAIMS ALL THESE ARE ARE SHE OPERATES THE BUSINESS FROM HER HOME AS CRABBING. AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT SHE USES ON A DAILY BASIS FOR CRABBING. I'M LIKE, WELL, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL OUT HERE. AND SHE MENTIONED THERE'S A DISHWASHER. I MEAN, A WASHING MACHINE RIGHT THERE, SHE SAYS. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY COME BACK, THEY'RE DIRTY AND SHE DON'T WANT TO BRING THE CLOTHES IN. SHE WASHES THEM OUT THERE.

BUT IT BOILS RIGHT DOWN TO IT. SHE KEPT ALLUDING TO MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT SHE HAS AND THAT AND SHE DID TELL ME SHE HASN'T ACTIVELY CRABS IN OVER A YEAR. SO THIS IS JUST CLOSE UP OF ALL THE OTHER STUFF. YOU KNOW, THERE IS SOME YARD, YARD FURNITURE, BUT IN THE BACKGROUND I'LL SHOW A CLOSER VIEW. THAT'S AN ICE MACHINE AND SOME OTHER APPLIANCES THAT ARE OUT THERE. A LOT OF JUNK AND DEBRIS. THAT'S AN OLD GAS TANK. YOU CAN LOOK IN THE BACK AND SEE ALL THE OVERGROWTH, SHE SAYS. THAT'S A BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY. THAT THIS RED UTILITY TRAILER IS USED TO STORE ITEMS IN THAT SHE HAD A CURRENT TAG FOR. AND THEN WHEN I ASKED, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE MOTOR THAT'S THERE. SHE'S GOT A COVER OVER THE BACKGROUND THERE.

THESE ARE TAGS THAT SHE SAYS BELONGS TO EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY. BUT HOWEVER, SHE DOES ADMIT THAT THE CAMPER IN THE BACK AND THE BOAT IN THE BACK WERE HER DECEASED HUSBAND, AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CURRENT REGISTRATIONS FOR THEM AND THEY'RE DERELICT AS WELL. TOLER.

YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DERELICT VEHICLE ON THE PROPERTY AND JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CURRENT TAG, IT DOES. IF THEY DON'T RUN AND CAN'T BE MOVED, THEY'RE STILL CONSIDERED DERELICT. AUGUST 10TH REINSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND IT REMAINED IN VIOLATION. COMPLIANCE HEARING IS SET FOR SEPTEMBER THE 17TH. AND AS IT STANDS, EVERYTHING IS STILL IN VIOLATION. THAT'S IT FOR THIS PROPERTY. SHE HAS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE WENT TO. I NOTICED THAT AND I WAS WONDERING, I SAID, AM I LOOKING AT THE WRONG? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SHE OUGHT TO GO BACK TO CRABBING BECAUSE I WAS IN TARPON DOCK SEAFOOD AND JUMBO LUMP CRAB MEAT IS 49.99 A POUND. WOW. THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE IF YOU'RE A CRABBER. ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO FIND, BASED ON THE TESTIMONY I HEARD IN THE EXHIBITS I'VE SEEN INTRODUCED IN THE EVIDENCE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 530 HIGHWAY 2297 IN PANAMA CITY, IS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF BAY COUNTY AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE. NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO THE RESPONDENT. CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS HAD CONTACT WITH THE RESPONDENT, BUT SHE HAS FAILED TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING. THERE IS A VIOLATION OF 1702 IN THE FORM OF DERELICT VEHICLES, VESSELS, JUNK DEBRIS, UNSCREENED OR UNUSED PERSONAL

[02:50:07]

AND WE DID RECEIVE A COMPLAINT OF DERELICT VEHICLES ON THIS PROPERTY. AND ON FEBRUARY 17TH, OFFICER ROBERT CLARKSON INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND HE IS HERE TO TESTIFY. HOW FAR IS THIS FROM THE FIRST PROPERTY? SO PROBABLY FIVE, FIVE MILES. MAYBE IT'S NOT ADJACENT TO IT. YES, THAT'S ONE AND A TWO, TWO, NINE SEVEN. AND THIS WAS AT THE DEAD END OF CALLOWAY HEIGHTS. THIS IS JUST JUST UP THE ROAD FROM IT. 17TH WENT OUT THERE FEBRUARY AND 17TH WENT OUT THERE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VACANT LOT. GATED. THERE'S SOME DERELICT CARS THERE AND THERE'S NO STRUCTURE ON THIS LOT. AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY BACK, THERE'S AN OLD ABANDONED CAMPER. THAT'S JUST CLOSE TO ANOTHER VIEW OF THE THE VEHICLES ON ONE SIDE. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I'LL SEND AN INFORMAL LETTER. THIS CASE WAS ACTUALLY OPENED PRIOR TO. AS IT TURNS OUT, SAME PROPERTY OWNER. THIS CASE WAS OPENED PRIOR TO THE OTHER PROPERTY SENT OUT. THE LETTER GOT NO RESPONSE FROM THE LETTER. MARCH 23RD WENT OUT AND RE-INSPECTED THE PROPERTY FOUND IN VIOLATION. THERE'S A TRAILER AND A AND AN ENCLOSED TRAILER AND ANOTHER ENCLOSED TRAILER ALSO ON THE PROPERTY. NOW THAT'S LIKE, IS THAT LIKE A TRUCK BODY THAT'S JUST SITTING ON THE GROUND OR. YES, SIR. IT BASICALLY IT'S LIKE A TRAILER ENCLOSED TRAILER THAT'S SITTING ON THE GROUND THAT THAT USED TO BE ON A VEHICLE. THE OTHER ONE ACTUALLY HAS WHEELS AND STUFF. CAN'T REALLY SEE IT TILL LATER, BUT THERE'S JUNK ALL BACK IN THERE AS WELL. 23RD I DID ISSUE A NOTICE OF VIOLATION SINCE CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AT 530 HIGHWAY 2297 USING THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE. THERE'S BEEN NO RETURN RECEIPT OR NO RETURN CERTIFIED OR REGULAR MAIL NOTICES.

I DID RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE 28TH OR THE 27TH, AND AFTER WE INSPECTED THE ONE PROPERTY, WENT TO THE PROPERTY THERE AT FERNWOOD. THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE TAKEN THAT DAY. SHE STATED THAT THE CAMPER AND THOSE TWO OTHER ITEMS WERE THERE WHEN SHE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY. THE THE PERSON SHE BOUGHT IT FROM, THERE'S SOME OF THE JUNK WAS SUPPOSED TO MOVE IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T. SHE DID ADMIT THAT SHE WAS USING THE ITEM THAT WAS TAKEN OFF OF A OF A TANDEM THAT. JUST SITTING THERE SHE IS STORING PERSONAL ITEMS IN THERE. ALL THE OTHER ITEMS WERE LEFT THERE. SHE DID ADMIT TO BRINGING THE CARS ONTO THE PROPERTY AND LEAVING THEM THERE. OBVIOUSLY I HAD CONCERNS.

THAT'S WHY I DID BOTH CASES AT THE SAME TIME THAT SHE WAS GOING TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THE HOUSE AND THEN PUT IT OUT THERE. THERE'S NO TAGS OR ANYTHING ON THOSE VEHICLES.

JULY 30TH THIS PROPERTY IS POSTED ON THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT'S WEBSITE. COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING AND AFFIDAVIT INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE JULY 30TH. I CHECKED THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND DATABASES. TAX COLLECTOR. PROPERTY OWNERSHIP HAS NOT CHANGED. TAXES ARE DELINQUENT SINCE 2025. MISS MILNER WANTED TO SEE IF SHE COULD LEAVE THAT ONE THING, CALLING IT A STRUCTURE AND TRY TO GET IT PERMITTED. I CALL HER BACK TO SAY NO. YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S A TRAILER. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS BUILT FOR, IS NOT BUILT FOR A STRUCTURE THAT IT HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE. AUGUST 10TH, WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND REMAINED IN VIOLATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PERMITS OBTAINED TO TRY TO BUILD A STRUCTURE OUT THERE. COMPLIANCE IS SET FOR SEPTEMBER THE 17TH AT 1:01 P.M. HERE AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER, AND I HAVE NO FURTHER TESTIMONY. OKAY.
