establish the Title, as insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or
damage to the Insured. The Company may take any appropri-
ate action under the terms of this policy, whether or not it shall

of any loss, costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses paid by the
Company. If requested by the Company, the Insured Claimant

pany of these rights and remedies. The Insured Claimant shall
permit the Company to sue, compromise, or settle in the name

of its right to recover until after the Insured Claimant shall
have recovered its loss.
(b) The Company's right of subrogation includes the rights of the
Insured to indemnities, guaranties, other policies of insurance,

the Insured, the Rules in effect at Date of Policy shall be binding
upon the parties. The award may include attorneys' fees only if
the laws of the state in which the Land is located permit a court

The property is 0.74 acres in size and is zoned IL, light industrial. Improvements to the
property include a 720 sq. ft. single family, wood frame home with two porches, one on
the front of the house and the other on the back.
In order to complete the improvement project, the County must acquire a 301 sq. ft. corner

In order to arrive at a value for the property, the County obtained an appraisal from
Armfield and Wagner. The initial appraisal report established a value of the whole 0.74
acre parcel of $225,400, with the part to be taken valued at $2,100. The appraisal did
not include damages to the remainder parcel (severance). The County extended an offer
to purchase to Mr. Perry and the Estate. An updated appraisal came in slightly higher at
$245,500 for the whole parcel and $2,300 for the right-of-way needed.
After the offer was conveyed, staff was contacted by the firm of Neill Griffin from Ft.
Pierce, the attorneys representing Mr. Perry. Staff learned that Helen Johnson had
passed away and lived in Texas at the time of her death. This meant that her Estate
would have to be probated in the State where she was domiciled at the date of her death.
Probate of her Estate was necessary so the County could receive clear title to the needed
right-of-way.
The Personal Representative of the Estate, Kenneth Johnson, was represented by
Charles Holloman of Tampa, Florida. Mr. Perry and Mr. Johnson, through their attorneys,
offered to sell the right of way for $5,500 to be divided equally between the parties. The
Perry/Johnson 45th Street/US 1
April 30, 2020
Page 14
co-owners incurred appraisal costs of $6,605.00 and engineering costs of $1,950.00 in
engineering fees. Due to the size of the parcel and its rather low value, Florida Statutes
allows for an attorney to charge an hourly fee for his work rather than the usual
percentage of the benefit derived for the client. Mr. Neill is seeking $13,650 in fees and
costs based on 40.3 hours of work performed by himself and his associate, Mr. Osking.
The attorney's fees have been reduced by almost $5,000. Mr. Holloman is asking for
$3,750 for his 12.5 hours of time spent representing the Estate. The Agreement for
Purchase and Sale of Real Estate is attached to this memorandum as Exhibit A. The
total cost of this acquisition to the County is $31,455. Continued negotiation of this matter
is not recommended by the County Attorney's Office as the attorneys and expert witness
fees will continue to increase without a corresponding benefit to the County.
The County Administrator does not support the attorney's fees and costs charged by Mr.
Neil and Mr. Osking due to the fact that they far exceed the amount of the purchase and
that they seem excessive relative to the amount of work necessitated by the purchase in
his opinion.
Funding: Funding for this expenditure is budgeted and available from Optional Sales
Tax/ROW/45th Street/left Turn Lane at US 1; Account # 31521441-066120-13013.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board approve the purchase and sale for the
right-of-way from Gene Perry and the Estate at a price of $31,455, inclusive of all fees
and costs and authorize the Chairman to execute any documents necessary to close the
purchase of the property.
