West Palm Beach, FL asked in Real Estate Law and Elder Law for Florida

Q: Redevelopment of a golf course to include 200 townhomes 15 feet from the rear of my condo has been proposed.

What legal obligation does the developer have not to interfere with the Quiet enjoyment and undisturbed use and enjoyment of my home? Who is responsible to insure the excavation of the land (treated for decades with insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers) does not pollute the air or water?

What legal strategy could be taken to oppose this development? The community is a 55 and older condominim. Many residents spend most of their day at home during what would be peak construction hours.

Thanks

A: This is not an elder law question. This is a real estate question. I would re-post it under real estate law or call and get the advice of a real estate lawyer.

A: The first thing I would check would be to determine what stage of the permitting process the proposal is at. Check with your local zoning authorities.
