Habitat for Humanity of Collier County. It has been assigned case number 2012-00064.; The Petition seeks a declaration that affordable housing is an important state resource or facility, and guidance as to the meaning of “concentration” in the phrase “avoid the concentration of affordable housing units only in specific areas of the jurisdiction” in section 163.3177(6)(f)1.g., F.S., and in the Housing Element Policy 1.10 of the Collier County Comprehensive Plan.

Robert L. Buck, Esquire, P.A.; The agency is unaware of what is referred to as a “cosmetic check” and unaware of any property insurance policy provision that addresses “cosmetic” perils. Section 626.860, Florida Statutes, exempts licensed attorneys from being required to obtain and maintain a public adjuster’s license to adjust insurance claims, so the question asked is both moot and hypothetical. Declaratory Statements are to be issued to when there are set facts and the need for resolution of the matter. Those conditions are not present in this matter. Because Robert L. Buck, has the legal ability to adjust insurance claims, any statutes applicable to public adjusting are not applicable to him, and in the adjustment of insurance claims Robert L. Buck is governed by the rules of the Florida Bar and not the Department.
