            petitioners' attorney.  He represented them in the exchange of                              
            the 76.5 acres.                                                                             
                  Petitioners did not have a construction and demolition                                
            debris dump permit when they listed the 76.5 acres for sale.                                
            Petitioners applied to Pasco County for a construction and                                  
            demolition debris dump permit.  They stated on their application                            
            that they ultimately intended to use the 76.5 acres as a mobile                             
            home park.  The B.C.C. approved petitioners' application.                                   
            Potential buyers became more interested in the property after                               
            petitioners obtained a construction and demolition debris dump                              
            permit.                                                                                     
                  The Pasco County permit was not the only permit petitioners                           
            needed to operate a construction and demolition debris dump on                              
            the 76.5 acres.  They did not operate a dump while they owned the                           
            76.5 acres, and they did not have all the permits required to do                            
            so.                                                                                         
                  A prospective buyer of the 76.5 acres retained Triggs,                                
            Catlett & Associates in June 1990 to estimate the value of the                              
            land and various values and costs related to the prospective                                
            buyer's operation of a sand mine on the 76.5 acres.  Frank A.                               
            Catlett (Catlett), a real estate appraiser, estimated that the                              
            value of the land was $1,163,000, before taking into account any                            
            costs of equipment or other assets required to operate a sand                               
            mine or any going-concern value of petitioners' sand mine.
