SEMINOLE - Mobile home activists are looking for a new attorney for the second time. Citing "irreconcilable differences," St. Petersburg lawyer John Thomas asked to be relieved from representing home- owners at Bay Pines Mobile Home Park, which was recently purchased by developer John Loder. Park homeowners sued Loder's company and the former owners, alleging, among other things, that they were guaranteed that Bay Pines would remain a mobile home park at least until 2020. A judge gave the homeowners 30 days to find a new attorney. Thomas was also representing mobile home activists from several parks in other cases relating to the validity of a county ordinance and objecting to a rezoning and land-use change of the Golden Lantern Mobile Home Park. Leo Plenski, head of the Bay Pines Homeowners Association, said all the groups are searching for a new attorney.
