PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Pino v. District Ct. of App., Third Dist., 604 So.2d 1232, 1233 (Fla. 1992) (mandamus is not appropriate where the petitioner has other legal methods for obtaining relief); Williams v. Schulman, 721 So.2d 1244, 1245 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (petitioner not entitled to mandamus where an adequate remedy at law was available); Miami-Dade County v. Palmetto Bay, 744 So.2d 1076, 1077 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) (whether to "move forward towards authorizing incorporation" is a "discretionary political decision").
