Right to Farm Issue Not Reached In Code Enforcement Suit

Vavrus v. City of Palm Beach Gardens, 2006 Fla. App. Lexis 4959 (Fla. Ct. App. 2006)

Vavrus' land was annexed to the city at his request, but he refused to allow access to code enforcement officers, instead operating a clearcut softwood timber logging operation on his land. In his counterclaim, among other things, Vavrus argued that the Florida Right to Farm statute prohibited the city from regulating his activities. Passing on the right to farm question the court held that Vavrus had not preserved the alleged improprieties of the trial court judge for review.
