There Is A Barbed Wire Fence Placed In Front Of My Lot Access. Do I Need A Re Attorney?

In FL. I purchased a lot that is part of a platted subdivision. Every lot is owned, but nobody has cleared access to theirs yet. The two potential points of entry would be 1. Open an unimproved right of way from an established neighborhood (no paved roads, only sand) or 2. Request access through a gate that someone put up on a public road. Option 2 seems sketchy even though I believe nobody had the right to put the gate up. He doesn't own the road he gated off, but I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers directly. So I thought I would open the right of way. I have my boundary survey, wetland survey and permit application. My boundary flags are set for the ROW, and there is a barbed wire fence that was put up decades ago that extends slightly past and in front of the flags. I went to PW to file the application and asked them about the fence, and one man said I will need to go to court and have a ruling to be able to take down the 10-20 foot portion. Nobody knows who owns the fence, and nobody can legally put up the fence in the first place since the land it sits on cannot be privately owned. Please keep in mind I have talked to Planning & Zoning, Public Works, the property appraiser, and an experienced builder and this is the first time anyone has said anything about this rusted barbed wire. I hope this makes sense to someone, because what the PW guy told me certainly does not! Thank you in advance!
