During the Bay County Code Magistrate Hearing on May 15, 2025, significant discussions centered around a zoning violation complaint regarding a property owned by Mr. Toole. The complaint, initially filed on January 12, 2023, highlighted concerns about the property not adhering to the Land Development Regulations, specifically regarding the use of residential zones.

Code Enforcement Officer Chris Hubbard presented evidence of the violations, which included an RV, a shed, a septic tank, and construction materials improperly stored on the property. Photographs taken during inspections illustrated the extent of the issues, including a vehicle obscured by overgrowth.

Officer Hubbard noted that he had communicated with Mr. Toole about the violations on January 27, 2023, indicating ongoing efforts to address the situation. The hearing served as a platform for discussing the implications of such violations on community standards and property values, emphasizing the importance of compliance with local regulations to maintain the integrity of residential areas.

The outcome of this hearing will likely influence future enforcement actions and community expectations regarding property maintenance and zoning adherence in Bay County. As the local government continues to address these issues, residents are encouraged to stay informed about regulations that affect their neighborhoods.
