If You Lived Here, You Could Be Fishing Right Now! BUT I CAN'T BUILD A HOUSE??? Sound familiar? .
Actually Swampfront Lots!!! (Jurisdictional Wetlands)
Developer / Seller - Stephen F. Smith & Edith Ellen Smith - Brooker, FL. Sales Agent - Douglas Realty - Wayne E. Douglas Sr. - Starke, FL. es·tate noun, verb, -tat·ed, -tat·ing.1. a piece of landed property, esp. one of large extent with an elaborate house on it: to have an estate in the country. Here is the lot that was sold indicating restrictions that were not disclosed prior to sale. As you can see almost 99% of this property cannot be developed, the majority consists of a "State Protected Jurisdictional Wetland", which is only for the bugs, bushes, and animals, not people. The Property Appraiser, Building & Zoning - Building Official, and Zoning Director all said this was good property, not a swamp, not a flood area, and they would buy it themselves? This is what you get when you buy land in a brand new subdivision from a realtor with "38 years experience" in Florida these days?
Lot purchased includes NO Homeowners Association Fees.
RIDERS; ADDENDA; SPECIAL CLAUSES – HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION / NONE.
http://photobucket.com/Contracts RESTRICTIONS; EASEMENTS; LIMITATIONS – Any additional restrictions should be attached by an addendum. Where? AND nothing will prevent use of the property for "Single Family Residential"? Well how about F.S. 381.0065(4)(a) Administrative Code 64E-6, pg. 13-7a.
Now look at Title Policy mailed June 27, 2006 - 4 ½ months after closing escrow.

Here's a closer look. The unrestricted area is large enough for a 20' ft. x 40' ft. swimming pool, and a few lounge chairs. However legally, you cannot build anything whatsoever!
Waste of Money??? You Be the Judge! The experience cost much more than this!
Because payments were transmitted by the U.S. Postal Service, these activities constituted the federal crime of Mail Fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1341.
Here is a close-up of the unrestricted area of 40’ ft. x 40’ ft. This is where you build a minimum 1600+ sq. ft. home, garage, front & backyard, pool, cabana/pool house, shed, septic tank, lift pump, septic mound, water well, driveway, deck, boat parking, picnic table, BBQ, trash container storage, etc??? Actual septic mound would over triple the size illustrated here. The MINIMUM AREA REQUIRED by LAW to be a subdivision home-site lot in Florida is well over TEN TIMES this size! Restricted land area does NOT count!
Actual Photo nof the Building Area - Developer Smith states in his deposition he designed the lot for a 1 story 1600 sq. ft. home??? pg.19 line 20.
Home with Onsite Sewage Treatment Disposal System.
This tree is far, far away from the house by comparison, but not far enough!
LANDSCAPING YOUR HOME IN A FIRE AREA. The first step in protection is observing the vegetation and terrain around you. Could you and your family survive a fire? Would firemen have a chance to save you with uncut brush & trees only inches away from the house, and 100' ft. flames?
"How do You sleep at night Wayne & Steve?" "You should be ashamed of yourself!!!"
This is from the courthouse. Notice there are NO Restrictions???
Here is a diagram from the subdivision's permit that required all "Jurisdictional Wetlands" and "35' ft. buffers" to be included in the Drainage Easements, and Granted to the Homeowners Association! This lot magically appeared after the subdivision was permitted? It was NOT to be DEEDED / CONVEYED OUTSIDE of the HOA? It's nowhere near the minimum lot size requirement of 21,780 sq. ft., which has been the law in Florida since Jan. 1, 1972. Actual unrestricted land area is smaller than illustrated since rear setbacks have not been taken into consideration!
Majority of lot #4 is a Drainage Easement that was granted to the Homeowners Association.
And yes, Developer Smith was perfectly aware of the requirements! Should he step down or resign from the Homeowners Association, these illegal & unbuildable wetland lots will become the liability of the Homeowners Association, for all the other homeowners? What a nice guy!
Should you complain, the realtor & developer will say: "That's Life" "Why You Don't Just Sell Your Lot If You're Not Happy" "You Can Talk To An Attorney, But That Might Cost You More Than You Paid For Your Land" and our all-time favorite "You Shouldn't Listen To What People Tell You Or What You Hear Them Say" from Developer Smith? And these people tell others to read the Bible? Sounds like somebody doesn't practice what they preach!
What is this Realtor & Developer's defense/excuse?
Hire an attorney to sort out the legalities? You will be sued for Defamation of Character, Slander, Libel, Threatening their lives, etc. and numerous other frivolous motions that have absolutely nothing to do with anything (97 Pleadings to date so far). All while they hide from the media, who would like to get their side of the story? Ever see a Realtor or Company sue their customers after stealing their money? Here's 1 recent example!
Would YOU Buy this Property???
