RE: RESOLUTION NO. 96-06
Dear Mr. Falck:
Enclosed is a copy of Resolution No. 96-06 that was passed by the Parkland City
Commission on March 6, 1996 opposing any further legislation whether by Statute
or in the State Constitution providing for further property rights protection which
infringes upon the zoning and land use authority of local government.
The City Commission also wished to make known the impracticality of the
provision included in Senate Joint Resolution 762, section 17, (b) "All these issues
must be detennined by jury trial..... The Commission is concerned that this
language dictates it must be detennined by a jury trial thereby eliminating the
opportunity to settle without going to court.
Sincerely,
