Chairman Wheeler pointed out that Mr. Jackson's son was told <br />he would have to remove the mobile home before he could get an <br />occupancy permit; he was not told that he had to remove it before <br />the house was built. <br />Attorney Jackson noted that his son was doing this on his <br />own, and he is not used to handling these things. Attorney <br />'Jackson contended that the county ordinance pure and simple is <br />saying that if you build on a lot out there, we are not going to <br />pay you just compensation for a main thoroughfare like everybody <br />else does. Everyone is supposed to get equal protection under <br />the law, and that is not happening here. His son is going to <br />have to give away his property, or actually have it extorted from <br />him, because he is not giving it away free. His neighbors will <br />be paid for theirs when the road comes through, and the law says <br />you have to pay just compensation when you take R/W. Attorney <br />Jackson felt the County has to pay and that they can't use a <br />permit to fund and take property to save the county money. He <br />also felt staff's position is interesting in relation to the law <br />of Florida. The memo says that staff's position is to insure <br />that new construction pays for its project- related impact by <br />dedicating land required for minimum road standards. His son has <br />lived there, and he is still going to live there; so, he hasn't <br />increased the use of the road and he was led to believe he would <br />have to pay a $1,200 impact fee. <br />It was noted that is not correct. <br />Attorney Jackson submitted that this is the wrong way to <br />charge an impact fee, and staff admits in writing that this is <br />not fair or equal - his neighbor is not going to have to donate <br />and he is. They say that it is financially unfeasible for the <br />county to go ahead and acquire all the R/W, but that doesn't give <br />the county the right to take property without just compensation. <br />The County can't condemn this property because they don't need it <br />now, and they can't take the property without just compensation. <br />22 <br />t)CT 10 <br />SCR <br />i, n' 1Yi E1! <br />
