[1:03:34] as how we’re going to go about curing previously modified ER eyes without spending another
[1:03:37] curing previously modified ER eyes without spending another dollar on on attorneys fees. I

[1:03:47] county join as a cold petitioner should the applicant decided to appeal
[1:03:48] petitioner should the applicant decided to appeal this provided the county would
[1:03:52] applicant decided to appeal this provided the county would not be exposed to any legal
[1:03:56] this provided the county would not be exposed to any legal fees for the prevailing party
[1:03:58] not be exposed to any legal fees for the prevailing party or any additional fees, then I
[1:04:02] fees for the prevailing party or any additional fees, then I think I think if the applicant
[1:04:04] or any additional fees, then I think I think if the applicant decides to appeal, I would the
[1:04:06] think I think if the applicant decides to appeal, I would the county being a co petitioner.

[1:05:53] and there are in order to appeal the decision. The board has to give authority to

[1:05:58] has to give authority to whichever lawyers representing you on whether or not you want
[1:05:59] whichever lawyers representing you on whether or not you want to appeal it. So we had to
[1:06:00] you on whether or not you want to appeal it. So we had to come before you to ask you
[1:06:02] to appeal it. So we had to come before you to ask you what you wanted to do with the
[1:06:03] come before you to ask you what you wanted to do with the judge’s decision. I had no
[1:06:09] what you wanted to do with the judge’s decision. I had no conversation, no little
[1:06:12] judge’s decision. I had no conversation, no little perplexed by this because I
[1:06:17] conversation, no little perplexed by this because I raise the question about the
[1:06:18] perplexed by this because I raise the question about the dri versus the PD distinction
[1:06:20] raise the question about the dri versus the PD distinction on record and opposing counsel
[1:06:22] dri versus the PD distinction on record and opposing counsel answered and the court later
[1:06:25] on record and opposing counsel answered and the court later built. It’s really non that
[1:06:26] answered and the court later built. It’s really non that exact gap. And so when I
[1:06:27] built. It’s really non that exact gap. And so when I raised that question, was
[1:06:30] exact gap. And so when I raised that question, was there a section of the or the
[1:06:32] raised that question, was there a section of the or the comp plan that could have been
[1:06:33] there a section of the or the comp plan that could have been sighted at that time? If
[1:06:38] comp plan that could have been sighted at that time? If you’re asking I don’t know
[1:06:39] sighted at that time? If you’re asking I don’t know that this is the time or the
[1:06:41] you’re asking I don’t know that this is the time or the place to relitigate what
[1:06:42] that this is the time or the place to relitigate what happened at your meeting. You
[1:06:44] place to relitigate what happened at your meeting. You have a judge’s decision that
[1:06:45] happened at your meeting. You have a judge’s decision that says what you did was
[1:06:48] have a judge’s decision that says what you did was incorrect and now you guys
[1:06:49] says what you did was incorrect and now you guys have to decide whether you’re
[1:06:49] incorrect and now you guys have to decide whether you’re going to let that decision set
[1:06:51] have to decide whether you’re going to let that decision set or whether you’re going to
[1:06:52] going to let that decision set or whether you’re going to appeal that decision. I think
[1:06:55] or whether you’re going to appeal that decision. I think that if you hear from Mr,
[1:06:56] appeal that decision. I think that if you hear from Mr, Scott, he will tell you that
[1:06:57] that if you hear from Mr, Scott, he will tell you that he he does not agree with the
[1:06:58] Scott, he will tell you that he he does not agree with the judge’s decision either. He
[1:07:01] he he does not agree with the judge’s decision either. He can certainly correct me if
[1:07:04] judge’s decision either. He can certainly correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe
[1:07:04] can certainly correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe that he agrees with the
[1:07:05] I’m wrong, but I don’t believe that he agrees with the judge’s decision. So whether
[1:07:07] that he agrees with the judge’s decision. So whether or not you guys decide to
[1:07:09] judge’s decision. So whether or not you guys decide to appeal it. Those arguments, I
[1:07:11] or not you guys decide to appeal it. Those arguments, I assume he’ll make in the brief
[1:07:14] appeal it. Those arguments, I assume he’ll make in the brief when you if you decide to
[1:07:14] assume he’ll make in the brief when you if you decide to appeal it or not. Could we
[1:07:17] when you if you decide to appeal it or not. Could we hear from Mr? Scott been, of
[1:07:18] appeal it or not. Could we hear from Mr? Scott been, of course, you can. It was and

[1:10:11] it’s important to you at some level, discuss them. But the law is a bit more. Forgiving.
[1:10:14] level, discuss them. But the law is a bit more. Forgiving. If I can use that term in
[1:10:16] law is a bit more. Forgiving. If I can use that term in terms of the process that the
[1:10:20] If I can use that term in terms of the process that the government, a board or council
[1:10:22] terms of the process that the government, a board or council goes through in considering an
[1:10:23] government, a board or council goes through in considering an application process. Now, I
[1:10:26] goes through in considering an application process. Now, I understand the argument that
[1:10:26] application process. Now, I understand the argument that was made in the pleadings and
[1:10:28] understand the argument that was made in the pleadings and in the process of saying,
[1:10:31] was made in the pleadings and in the process of saying, well, there wasn’t an explicit
[1:10:33] in the process of saying, well, there wasn’t an explicit express process that was
[1:10:34] well, there wasn’t an explicit express process that was provided for followed. And you
[1:10:36] express process that was provided for followed. And you almost get into a situation
[1:10:37] provided for followed. And you almost get into a situation where argument is repeated
[1:10:38] almost get into a situation where argument is repeated over and over and then it’s
[1:10:40] where argument is repeated over and over and then it’s accepted later by a court. And
[1:10:43] over and over and then it’s accepted later by a court. And then it’s repeated perhaps
[1:10:45] accepted later by a court. And then it’s repeated perhaps following the addition to the
[1:10:45] then it’s repeated perhaps following the addition to the ruling. What you’ll find. It’s
[1:10:48] following the addition to the ruling. What you’ll find. It’s interesting in the in the
[1:10:50] ruling. What you’ll find. It’s interesting in the in the court’s ruling you’ll find
[1:10:51] interesting in the in the court’s ruling you’ll find interesting in the petition
[1:10:51] court’s ruling you’ll find interesting in the petition has filed before the court is
[1:10:55] interesting in the petition has filed before the court is the lack of legal citation to
[1:10:55] has filed before the court is the lack of legal citation to authority to support that
[1:10:56] the lack of legal citation to authority to support that proposition. Now, why this is
[1:10:59] authority to support that proposition. Now, why this is important is not at least from
[1:11:00] proposition. Now, why this is important is not at least from my point of view. And I would
[1:11:02] important is not at least from my point of view. And I would suggest to you is not that I’m
[1:11:06] my point of view. And I would suggest to you is not that I’m supporting or against. I have
[1:11:07] suggest to you is not that I’m supporting or against. I have 0 stake in the political
[1:11:08] supporting or against. I have 0 stake in the political question of whether the Pine
[1:11:10] 0 stake in the political question of whether the Pine Ridge Amendment should be
[1:11:11] question of whether the Pine Ridge Amendment should be allowed at the golf course.
[1:11:13] Ridge Amendment should be allowed at the golf course. However, I would suggest there
[1:11:15] allowed at the golf course. However, I would suggest there is a fundamental governmental
[1:11:17] However, I would suggest there is a fundamental governmental interest from your point of
[1:11:18] is a fundamental governmental interest from your point of view and having the proper
[1:11:22] interest from your point of view and having the proper court versus government or
[1:11:24] view and having the proper court versus government or court versus County bocc
[1:11:25] court versus government or court versus County bocc balance being struck in terms
[1:11:27] court versus County bocc balance being struck in terms of weather, you all are
[1:11:30] balance being struck in terms of weather, you all are permitted to execute your
[1:11:31] of weather, you all are permitted to execute your duties without. Concern. A
[1:11:35] permitted to execute your duties without. Concern. A risk of judicial entanglement
[1:11:36] duties without. Concern. A risk of judicial entanglement in the decisions you make and
[1:11:39] risk of judicial entanglement in the decisions you make and whether you are being made to
[1:11:40] in the decisions you make and whether you are being made to take actions were not take
[1:11:41] whether you are being made to take actions were not take actions based on. Rulings that
[1:11:45] take actions were not take actions based on. Rulings that may not comport with what the
[1:11:47] actions based on. Rulings that may not comport with what the law specifically provides for.
[1:11:48] may not comport with what the law specifically provides for. So in terms of it would, from
[1:11:53] law specifically provides for. So in terms of it would, from my point of view, I would say
[1:11:54] So in terms of it would, from my point of view, I would say an appeal is supportable and
[1:11:56] my point of view, I would say an appeal is supportable and it’s not because of any
[1:11:56] an appeal is supportable and it’s not because of any consideration of what the
[1:11:57] it’s not because of any consideration of what the folks here said with the
[1:11:59] consideration of what the folks here said with the political considerations as to
[1:12:01] folks here said with the political considerations as to whether the development is
[1:12:02] political considerations as to whether the development is supportable. But it does
[1:12:04] whether the development is supportable. But it does appear to be an incorrect
[1:12:05] supportable. But it does appear to be an incorrect ruling. It does. Call into
[1:12:09] appear to be an incorrect ruling. It does. Call into question other activities that
[1:12:12] ruling. It does. Call into question other activities that the board has done or will do

[2:08:09] whether take any action to modify or amend the ordinance. There are separate questions

[2:08:12] There are separate questions legally. You can you can do one. You can Both of you can
[2:08:15] legally. You can you can do one. You can Both of you can do neither. It is not uncommon
[2:08:16] one. You can Both of you can do neither. It is not uncommon in litigation situations. Even
[2:08:20] do neither. It is not uncommon in litigation situations. Even if let’s say we have prevailed
[2:08:20] in litigation situations. Even if let’s say we have prevailed with the circuit court in the

[2:08:25] case were over, that you could take a second look at any up like regulations and decide.
[2:08:28] take a second look at any up like regulations and decide. We want to tighten these up.
[2:08:30] like regulations and decide. We want to tighten these up. We want to change them up and

[2:09:18] speculation depending on what’s happened in the past. It is. That goes back to the
[2:09:22] what’s happened in the past. It is. That goes back to the point of ensuring the
[2:09:23] It is. That goes back to the point of ensuring the integrity of the current code
[2:09:27] point of ensuring the integrity of the current code as written and avoiding the
[2:09:28] integrity of the current code as written and avoiding the uncertainties and risks a

[2:09:31] uncertainties and risks a ruling which again, I would do us having certain infirmities.
[2:09:34] ruling which again, I would do us having certain infirmities. But again, that is even though
[2:09:37] us having certain infirmities. But again, that is even though we may disagree with the
[2:09:38] But again, that is even though we may disagree with the court’s ruling could be made
[2:09:40] we may disagree with the court’s ruling could be made seek to have a higher court

[2:09:47] overturned the lower court and find that the county’s regulations and process
[2:09:48] find that the county’s regulations and process followed were in accordance to
[2:09:49] regulations and process followed were in accordance to the law. That is not to say
[2:09:51] followed were in accordance to the law. That is not to say there’s not always an

[2:09:53] there’s not always an opportunity for improvement for clarification or efforts
[2:09:54] opportunity for improvement for clarification or efforts to make to make better again,
[2:09:57] for clarification or efforts to make to make better again, I don’t think it’s an either
[2:09:59] to make to make better again, I don’t think it’s an either or and I don’t think it should
[2:10:01] I don’t think it’s an either or and I don’t think it should be frame like that because it
[2:10:01] or and I don’t think it should be frame like that because it is typical and often occurs in
[2:10:03] be frame like that because it is typical and often occurs in litigation that decisions are
[2:10:05] is typical and often occurs in litigation that decisions are made on the back end to change
[2:10:07] litigation that decisions are made on the back end to change things and then things correct
[2:10:09] made on the back end to change things and then things correct things. But that’s not to say
[2:10:11] things and then things correct things. But that’s not to say that that warrants or
[2:10:13] things. But that’s not to say that that warrants or justifies forgoing appeal as
[2:10:14] that that warrants or justifies forgoing appeal as to the current immediate
[2:10:14] justifies forgoing appeal as to the current immediate effects of the ruling.
[2:10:19] to the current immediate effects of the ruling. >> In what one thing that
[2:10:19] effects of the ruling. >> In what one thing that Adele didn’t mention was you
[2:10:20] >> In what one thing that Adele didn’t mention was you also have to look at the
[2:10:22] Adele didn’t mention was you also have to look at the underlying decision. If you
[2:10:24] also have to look at the underlying decision. If you don’t appeal that underline
[2:10:25] underlying decision. If you don’t appeal that underline decision of the court
[2:10:27] don’t appeal that underline decision of the court squashing your approval of the
[2:10:28] decision of the court squashing your approval of the development. Stan’s. The
[2:10:35] squashing your approval of the development. Stan’s. The applicant is going to appeal.
[2:10:37] development. Stan’s. The applicant is going to appeal. I mean, I’m sure they are
[2:10:38] applicant is going to appeal. I mean, I’m sure they are hopeful that they prevail and
[2:10:39] I mean, I’m sure they are hopeful that they prevail and that would reinstate the
[2:10:39] hopeful that they prevail and that would reinstate the underline decision. But that
[2:10:42] that would reinstate the underline decision. But that is one big thing about the
[2:10:44] underline decision. But that is one big thing about the appeal that Dale didn’t
[2:10:46] is one big thing about the appeal that Dale didn’t mention that. I wanted to make
[2:10:47] appeal that Dale didn’t mention that. I wanted to make sure you are thinking about
[2:10:47] mention that. I wanted to make sure you are thinking about because if you if you don’t
[2:10:50] sure you are thinking about because if you if you don’t appeal that decision is
[2:10:52] because if you if you don’t appeal that decision is squashed. So there is no
[2:10:53] appeal that decision is squashed. So there is no approval of the development
[2:10:53] squashed. So there is no approval of the development plan. That’s there. That’s not
[2:11:01] approval of the development plan. That’s there. That’s not for us to fight and some. No,
[2:11:02] plan. That’s there. That’s not for us to fight and some. No, but I’m trying to make sure
[2:11:03] for us to fight and some. No, but I’m trying to make sure that we get a complete answer
[2:11:04] but I’m trying to make sure that we get a complete answer to the commissioners
[2:11:04] that we get a complete answer to the commissioners questions. So you know, yes,
[2:11:08] to the commissioners questions. So you know, yes, you can absolutely change your
[2:11:10] questions. So you know, yes, you can absolutely change your coat to fix the underlying
[2:11:10] you can absolutely change your coat to fix the underlying problem. The excuse me, the
[2:11:13] coat to fix the underlying problem. The excuse me, the the wording that the court
[2:11:15] problem. The excuse me, the the wording that the court didn’t like. But that
[2:11:17] the wording that the court didn’t like. But that underlined decision, the
[2:11:17] didn’t like. But that underlined decision, the approval of the development
[2:11:19] underlined decision, the approval of the development that would be up in the air
[2:11:21] approval of the development that would be up in the air until the developer completes
[2:11:21] that would be up in the air until the developer completes their appeal. And then there
[2:11:24] until the developer completes their appeal. And then there still. A potential that.
[2:11:33] their appeal. And then there still. A potential that. Anything else that we’ve
[2:11:33] still. A potential that. Anything else that we’ve approved in the past are
[2:11:34] Anything else that we’ve approved in the past are saying it’s not that that that
[2:11:36] approved in the past are saying it’s not that that that but if somebody wanted to
[2:11:36] saying it’s not that that that but if somebody wanted to challenge that, that would

[2:25:37] to do to try and make that negotiations were still open to negotiating. We think there
[2:25:37] negotiations were still open to negotiating. We think there is a way forward. We have
[2:25:39] to negotiating. We think there is a way forward. We have offer on his table. There

[2:26:00] to go through the We want to solve the issue and we want to solve it. So everybody wins.
[2:26:03] solve the issue and we want to solve it. So everybody wins. But we have a settlement
[2:26:04] solve it. So everybody wins. But we have a settlement agreement on one of those
[2:26:04] But we have a settlement agreement on one of those properties. And it’s a
[2:26:07] agreement on one of those properties. And it’s a court-ordered binding
[2:26:10] properties. And it’s a court-ordered binding settlement agreement and we’re
[2:26:10] court-ordered binding settlement agreement and we’re willing to work so that they
[2:26:13] settlement agreement and we’re willing to work so that they can protect Pine Ridge and
[2:26:14] willing to work so that they can protect Pine Ridge and allow the developer to move
[2:26:15] can protect Pine Ridge and allow the developer to move forward himself. But if we
[2:26:19] allow the developer to move forward himself. But if we don’t, if you won’t talk to
[2:26:22] forward himself. But if we don’t, if you won’t talk to us, it’s not fair to say that
[2:26:23] don’t, if you won’t talk to us, it’s not fair to say that you gave us a chance because
[2:26:25] us, it’s not fair to say that you gave us a chance because nobody has given us a chance.
[2:26:26] you gave us a chance because nobody has given us a chance. And not even here today we’re
[2:26:28] nobody has given us a chance. And not even here today we’re seeing that, OK, the other
[2:26:30] And not even here today we’re seeing that, OK, the other issue is that we had
[2:26:32] seeing that, OK, the other issue is that we had homeowners so frustrated with
[2:26:32] issue is that we had homeowners so frustrated with what’s going on. They decided,
[2:26:35] homeowners so frustrated with what’s going on. They decided, well, let’s go to mister Decks
[2:26:37] what’s going on. They decided, well, let’s go to mister Decks and by the property, like you
[2:26:38] well, let’s go to mister Decks and by the property, like you suggested. James Sticks gave
[2:26:42] and by the property, like you suggested. James Sticks gave them an incredible. Price. And
[2:26:46] suggested. James Sticks gave them an incredible. Price. And then the only way he would
[2:26:47] them an incredible. Price. And then the only way he would approve selling it as if they
[2:26:51] then the only way he would approve selling it as if they could convince our our board
[2:26:53] approve selling it as if they could convince our our board of directors to allow him to
[2:26:54] could convince our our board of directors to allow him to do whatever he wanted. On the
[2:26:56] of directors to allow him to do whatever he wanted. On the average property. So it’s been
[2:27:01] do whatever he wanted. On the average property. So it’s been a nonstarter for a We’re
[2:27:04] average property. So it’s been a nonstarter for a We’re willing to work something out.
[2:27:05] a nonstarter for a We’re willing to work something out. So I just want to make that
[2:27:06] willing to work something out. So I just want to make that clear. not that we’re
[2:27:09] So I just want to make that clear. not that we’re stubborn. It’s not that we

[2:37:09] >> PJ off-camera, Citrus County. So from that game, beginning of this whole
[2:37:11] County. So from that game, beginning of this whole debacle with Dick’s
[2:37:12] beginning of this whole debacle with Dick’s development in Pine Ridge. My
[2:37:16] debacle with Dick’s development in Pine Ridge. My Theory has always been that we
[2:37:17] development in Pine Ridge. My Theory has always been that we had a dri that was granted
[2:37:19] Theory has always been that we had a dri that was granted with open spaces and
[2:37:21] had a dri that was granted with open spaces and recreational spaces that
[2:37:22] with open spaces and recreational spaces that allowed a certain number of
[2:37:23] recreational spaces that allowed a certain number of homes to be built. Your
[2:37:24] allowed a certain number of homes to be built. Your actions. Whether you think
[2:37:28] homes to be built. Your actions. Whether you think they are right or wrong, took
[2:37:30] actions. Whether you think they are right or wrong, took away that option to have the
[2:37:31] they are right or wrong, took away that option to have the recreational space. And in my
[2:37:33] away that option to have the recreational space. And in my thinking, that means that the
[2:37:35] recreational space. And in my thinking, that means that the dri for Pine Ridge is
[2:37:36] thinking, that means that the dri for Pine Ridge is nonconforming. It no longer
[2:37:39] dri for Pine Ridge is nonconforming. It no longer has what was required in the
[2:37:42] nonconforming. It no longer has what was required in the open spaces and recreation
[2:37:44] has what was required in the open spaces and recreation spaces to be it. A DRA
[2:37:46] open spaces and recreation spaces to be it. A DRA development. I think you’re
[2:37:47] spaces to be it. A DRA development. I think you’re wrong in that. And I think
[2:37:49] development. I think you’re wrong in that. And I think that you choosing to fight
[2:37:51] wrong in that. And I think that you choosing to fight this, whether you win or lose
[2:37:52] that you choosing to fight this, whether you win or lose could open up future lawsuits
[2:37:57] this, whether you win or lose could open up future lawsuits with other areas that want to
[2:37:59] could open up future lawsuits with other areas that want to take away from open space or
[2:38:01] with other areas that want to take away from open space or recreational space that he’s
[2:38:01] take away from open space or recreational space that he’s been granted to them. So that
[2:38:05] recreational space that he’s been granted to them. So that they could build only certain
[2:38:06] been granted to them. So that they could build only certain number of homes. You’re
[2:38:07] they could build only certain number of homes. You’re setting a precedent and
[2:38:08] number of homes. You’re setting a precedent and saying. That this is OK and
