r BOOK SJ P,1 GE•.,'1 , Mr. Nelson did not see how you could use that figure in 1983 and still again in 1985. Were there no more homes put in the park in that 22 month period? There are so many inconsistencies. Further, they are mixing in interest along with payments, and you cannot credit interest to payments. Mr. Nelson then referred back to the agreement with Realcor in 1985 and stated that first of all the $142,967 was incorrect, and when he hears that the difference between payments for 501 homes and 509 could be interest, he would repeat that interest has nothing to do with payments. Mr. Nelson emphasized that the number of homes that were, paid for is extremely important, and we don't really know what it is. In that agreement - with Realcor, it was stated there were approximately 100 vacant lots in the park; then later Attorney Block stated there were only 80. Mr. Nelson believed there were 648 lots originally, but that included the water plant; so, -there were actually 646. If you subtract 80 from that, you will get 566 - so why were fees paid on only 509 when the ordinances all read that impact fees have to be paid at time of occupancy or the time a permit is issued, and when it comes to crediting Realcor for homes put on South, that is hog -wash! He felt it is too bad that Terry Pinto wrote -his letter at that time,*which stated that 100 wastewater units may come from either Countryside, formerly known as Village Green South and/or Village Green West, and you would think that Attorney Block would have known that a letter can't supersede a legal document, but apparently Realcor did hang their hat on that letter. What Realcor is doing on the sale of a home is making the payment of impact fees a condition of sale, which is in complete violation of Fla. Statute 723.059, but the residents can't go after the County for this, of course. Mr. Nelson noted that the bottom line here is money, and with 509 homes, you are talking probably around 2 million dollars. Somewhere a wrong has been done, and how we correct it, Mr. Nelson did not know. He felt it is just a shame that when the franchise was passed on from Florida Atlantic to Realcor that we didn't realize this because at that time, all this could have been straightened out. Mr. Nelson stated that he understood Commissioner Scurlock's position about the money problem. This is not a personal problem; it is an overall problem between the residents and the County and the Utilities Department and their bookkeeping and their enforcement of the ordinances. Mr. Nelson felt this problem should be studied even further, and in the meantime, he did not think the County should let anyone purchase that park and he would hope that Utilities would be very reluctant to pass 16
