Palmetto Bay wins round II – Court sides with Palmetto Bay. Luxcom's Petition for Writ of Certiorari is DENIED. Opinion released Tuesday, 12/1/2020

CLICK HERE to read the fully favorable opinion, released today, Tuesday, December 1, 2020.

This proceeding was an action, in this case a Petition for Writ of Certiorari, a process where Luxcom sought to quash, or reverse, Ordinance No. 2019-18 of the Village of Palmetto Bay which amended the Village’s official zoning map by revising the zoning designation of a parcel of land owned by Luxcom to one unit an acre (as I have stated, this action by the Village is fully defensible).

RESULT: Luxcom's Petition for Writ of Certiorari is DENIED. I see no victory for Luxcom should they entertain any thoughts of moving upward to the Third District Court of Appeal.

Dexter does it again. Palmetto Bay's "retired" attorney once again does some outstanding work for the Village of Palmetto Bay. Why again, is he no longer the official day to day village attorney? Regardless, the law firm of our 'former' Village attorney continues to fight hard in protecting Palmetto Bay residents. I am pleased that the Lehtinen Schultz, PLLC, team of Dexter Lehtinen, Claudio Riedi, Esq. and Amanda Quirke Hand, Esq. continue on in protecting Palmetto Bay’s financial interests.

 Let’s hope that Dexter Lehtinen and his Lehtinen Schultz, PLLC, team are the assigned counsel for the defense of Luxcom’s Bert J Harris act lawsuit.

Palmetto Bay taxpayers can breath a sigh of relief on this round.
