<br />supported John Blum describing him as a very good, conscientious engineer. He acknowledged <br />that the homeowners are upset and realized that the reputation of Carter Associates, Inc. is at stake. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued and it was mentioned that Chase Meadows, L.L.C. is developing <br />other PDs in the County, however, the Board has no recourse in this situation. It was determined <br />that Dr. Nicholas had contacted St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and they <br />are taking measures towards against the developer. <br />Commissioner Macht thought they should be looking at the LDRs and the site plan <br />review, not just for growth, but also for quality control. <br />Administrator Baird thought they should provide a warranty bond for private <br />streets in the future as Attorney Collins suggested. <br /> <br />Dave Thompson <br />, who currently is in the process of building a house at Oak Chase, <br />questioned what mechanisms are in place for staff to enforce the terms of an agreement. <br />Attorney Collins responded that if a subdivision is not completed, then the bonds <br />are not released until they have done what they said they would do. In this case, because it is a <br />private subdivision, an outside engineer signed off that the roads were done correctly. The <br />problems appeared afterwards. <br /> <br />Adriene Cuffe <br /> suggested that Dr. Nicholas check the Florida Statutes, Chapter <br />718, that controls condominiums as well as homeowners associations. She thought there might be <br />a protection clause in the bylaws preventing Chase Meadows, L.L.C. from doing more <br />development if it has not lived up to its stipulations. <br /> <br />JUNE 22, 2004 <br />23 <br /> <br />
