HOLLYWOOD, FL-After reclaiming a mobile home community on official reservation property, the Seminole Tribe of Florida says it has no plans to evict the park's 750 current residents or redevelop the land. However, a vacant tract that is part of the dispute could be used for commercial development on US 441.

The tribe quickly decided to exercise its rights to the property after a dispute with lessee Hollywood Mobile Estates Ltd. led to federal lawsuits. Tribal police took control of the park's front office July 14, one month after the tribe moved to void the lease.

"In the lease it's very clear that if the lessee is in default, the tribe has the option of retaking the property, which was the step that they decided to take," tribe spokesman Gary Bitner tells GlobeSt.com. "The Bureau of Indian Affairs of the US Department of Interior was aware of the action."
