3 NEALE MONTGOMERY Entitlement/Land Use Pavese, Haverfield, Dalton, Harrison & Jensen, LLP 1833 Hendry Street Fort Myers, Florida (239) Neale Montgomery focuses primarily on real estate and environmental issues that relate to the development of land, including but not limited to permitting at the local, state, regional, and federal level. Represent clients in administrative hearings before local and regional entities and the Division of Administrative Hearing. The representation of private clients includes an array of private developers, including major agricultural interests, major community builders, and includes work on the necessary comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning for a new state university. The work on the University plan amendment required the creation of a committee which included key representatives from the affected agencies. It was necessary to draft a new comprehensive plan category that satisfied the concerns of the State Board of Regents, the County, private landowners, and future developers. The plan amendment was approved, and went into effect. The plan amendment was crafted to withstand the attack of organized environmental groups who objected to the concept of a new university and the location of the new university. The work in the private sector includes land use changes, environmental permitting and comprehensive plan amendments which requires the ability to draft conditions and legislation that accomplishes the best result for all of the interests involved. On occasion rezonings and plan amendments have been challenged, and it has been necessary to defend the government action. Thus, the experience includes an understanding of what is necessary to ensure the creation of legislative planning documents that are legally defensible.
