Confederate Crossing II Subdivision, Jacksonville, FL

A couple members of your CCHOA board met with two lawyers this week on the topic of the noise zones surrounding the Whitehouse Field issue.  The two lawyers, Robert Yerkes and Michael Seelie, provided background of the issue at hand.  If you have not seen it, here is the map showing the Noise level layout.  As you can see (lower right corner), Confederate Crossing is in the 60 decibel range.  They discussed how this would affect the homeowners of Confederate Crossing.  They also discuss our options of possible compensation.  Regardless of the outcome of the ordinance, we, the homeowners of Confederate Crossing, when selling our homes will have to have the new buyers sign Airport Notice Zone Acknowledgement form .  If this ordinance were appealed, then the zone change would go back to the way it was.  This decision has not been made yet.  Currently, they are working on changing the ordinance, not repealing it.

Currently, according to the lawyers, the only option Confederate Crossing homeowners have will be to file a suit under the “Bert Harris Act”.  Yerkes & Seelie is seeking any homeowners who are interested in filing suit under the Bert Harris Act.  Shortly, they will be providing us with a copy of the contract they will want each individual homeowner to sign.  After signing with them, the first step will be to hire their property appraiser to appraise your current property value.  After that, it will be determine what if any effect (dollar value) the ordinance had on your property.  The cost of this appraisal is about $500.  After, this step, Yerkes & Seelie will take your case to trail.  If you are interested, please fill out the information form and contact Yerkes & Seelie.  This is just for your information.  The CCHOA will not be filing or joining on behalf of the CCHOA Homeowners.
