I understand that originally sales of these lots was intended as a "Florida Swamp Land" deal; no-one was actually expected to live here, but as the saying goes, 'karma's a b*tch'.
BTW, I love where I live, just don't want to be forced out by the actions of an incompetent Board.
What he omits (which he likes to do a lot) is how the ada factors into things. In the 90's the ada came out (and has been reinforced by more rules and court victories). The 24 feet is 2 lanes of 8 feet and 2 shoulders/sidewalks of 4 feet, then you need space behind to grade and take care of drainage.
Still trying to figure out how these subdivisions are illegal. Where do you get malfeasence, were you tricked into buying your lot? Did you not know about the lack of services? Were you promisdd anything.
It seems to me you got what you paid for a cheap lot with minimal services out in the middle of nowhere.
PS if you really want to screw over HPP, file an ADA lawsuit. Chip seal would be considered an alteration and hpp would be required to bring the the road to compliance.
