...In further support of its finding that denial of Estuary's permit violated chapter *1380 380, the district court found that the adjudicatory commission did not indicate any changes in the development which would make it possible for Estuary to receive the permit, as required by section 380.08(3), Florida Statutes (1973)....
...Appellants argue that denial of the appeal effectively reinstated the order of the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (SWFRPC) which contains twelve specific changes which Estuary must incorporate in its proposal in order to make it eligible to receive a permit. However, section 380.08(3) states that if any government agency denies a development permit it shall specify its reasons in writing and indicate any changes in the development proposal that would make it eligible to receive a permit....

(1977) by failing to indicate any changes in the development proposal that would make it eligible to receive the permit, thereby reaching an unduly restrictive result.

...Although it is clear that Petitioner has been denied relief it is left to wonder what changes may be made to render its proposal eligible. The only condition which is crystal clear from the order is that the mangroves must be preserved. The order does not comply with F.S. 380.08(3)....

It seems to me that much of the confusion surrounding this problem has resulted from unwarranted assumptions about the meaning and purpose of language such as that found in subsection (1) of section 380.08, Florida Statutes (1972). [4] There is, of *215 course, no indication whether chapter 380 applied to the permit proceedings in the present case, but the principles embodied in section 380.08(1) surely apply to all agency action, even when not expressly legislated. That is precisely my point. The cardinal rule, whether articulated by a court, a legislature or a constitution, is that private property cannot be confiscated for public purposes with fiscal impunity. Section 380.08(1) says no more than that....
