Pursuant to the Order of the District Court of Appeal, First District, dated April 8, 1992, finding that the Department of Transportation's ("Department") denial of Petitioner's ("Flamingo Lake") application to participate in the logo sign program was a gross abuse of the agency's discretion and awarding attorney's fees pursuant to Section 120.57(1)(b)10, Florida Statutes, and Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.400, the sole issue in this proceeding is the determination of the amount of reasonable attorney's fees and costs to be awarded to Flamingo Lake pursuant to Section 120.57(1)(b)10, Florida Statutes. Being unsure about the extent of the litigation for which attorneys' fees were awarded, evidence was received on the fees and costs from initiation to prevent the necessity for further evidentiary proceedings.Court mandated fact finding on court awarded attorney's fees. Time and Expenses for application excluded.
