The town alleged that 14805 Okeechobee Boulevard was being used for an unpermitted hauling operation, with trucks and containers stored on a property zoned single‑family. The town requested the owner either cease the business activity or, if the owner sought to continue, file a business/development application and submit it for council review.

Attorney Jack Rice for the respondent raised evidentiary objections to some aerial photographs and indicated he would pursue either a development application or a residential enterprise pathway. The town and the respondent agreed to a mutually acceptable continuance to allow the owner to submit the necessary paperwork and to discuss screening and agricultural exemptions where applicable.

Magistrate Barnard granted the continuance and reset the violation hearing to April 6, 2026, at 9 a.m. The town was directed to maintain the case file in its current form for any future hearing. The magistrate entered the town’s evidentiary case file as composite exhibit 1 over objection and admitted respondent exhibit R‑2 (a statutory copy) without objection.

Next steps: the respondent may apply for a development/business approval or remove the commercial storage; the town will review any application and the magistrate will revisit the case at the April hearing.
