Q: Live in a CDD, adjacent to StormWater Area & wetland. Purchased for privacy. Area behind my home is floodzone AE.
There's a "No Public Access" permit condition in deed restrictions, "no public access" sign at entrance. The plat illegally shows "RECREATION"
People ignored the sign, talking and disturbing me at all hours. Property Mgmt sent a letter stating the area is No public Access. The next month, two couples went to the CDD and they removed the sign and ok'd access . After two years trying to get the privacy I paid for, I filed a lawsuit.
The plat is wrong and the Documents showing the CDD agreed to comply with all permit conditions, including agency requirements, and Stormwater rules, were not attached to the lawsuit. The judge dismissed the petition with prejudice. I am in search of an experienced appeal attorney with some knowledge of stormwater, CDDs, and land use.
A: You can use the “Find a Lawyer” link on this page. Lawyers cannot contact you first. The dismissal with prejudice seems very harsh just for not attaching the documents.
