Mike Colosi, a Florida landowner, is challenging a $139,440 development fee imposed by Charlotte County to protect the Florida scrub jay, a threatened species. The fee is deemed excessive and unconstitutional, as it is not proportional to the actual impact of his proposed home on the environment. Colosi's case aims to restore property rights and challenge federal overreach in species regulation.
