6 A B C D E Commenter Name Date Public Comment Excerpt / Summary Topic Area Applicant Response 34 35 36 37 38 39 Kathy Mattison Jan 24, 2026 In regard to the developer requesting a 15-year extension of their MPR development agreement, we see no reason to approve their request. They will only fail to complete the amenities originally sold to everyone during the first many years of their marketing the resort. .... Please apply pressure to the Lowe organization to follow through with all the original representations and finish up their involvement.Compliance Verification The comments provided are unrelated to the Development Agreement are instead appear to be about business decisions. The Applicant is committed to fulfilling their requirements under the Development Agreement and are also continuing to build out new community amenities. In the past 3 years, Suncadia has renovated the Lodge restaurant, renovated the spa, built new parks and broken ground on a new retail village that will open in June 2026. Donna McCaslin Jan 19, 2026 Granting an extension before resolving unmet obligations would undermine the purpose of the agreement.Compliance Verification The Applicant acknowledges the request for a compliance determination. Development Agreement obligations have been implemented through phased approvals and County oversight. The extension does not waive enforceable requirements. Bob McDonald Jan 23, 2026 I urgently request that the County perform a compliance review and granti any extension based on fulfillment of existing contractual obligations.Compliance Verification The Applicant acknowledges the request for a compliance determination. Development Agreement obligations have been implemented through phased approvals and County oversight. The extension does not waive enforceable requirements. Doug & Karen McDonald Jan 20, 2026 The Development Agreement includes enforceable agreements for infrastructure, environmental mitigation, public access, and financial responsibility. We are Suncadia homeowners who support responsible development. However, extending an agreement while obligations remain unmet shifts risk away from the developer and onto residents and the County. I respectfully request that the County conduct a written compliance review and require resolution of outstanding obligations prior to any extension decision.Compliance Verification The Applicant acknowledges the request for a compliance determination. Development Agreement obligations have been implemented through phased approvals and County oversight. The extension does not waive enforceable requirements. Susan Miller Jan 25, 2026 I am not opposed to development, but I respectfully ask that the County review the existing Development Agreement for applicability and compliance before approving any extension. Given the age of the project, it is not clear from the public record which obligations have been completed, which may have expired, and which may remain outstanding. The developer controlled association has allowed irrigation and landscaping around homesites that has been designated open space and is supposed to remain natural. With the rate of water usage in the development now, it is difficult to see how the resort can support the additional proposed development over the next 20 years. As proven by this year’s drought, water is going to be scarce in the years to come. At the HOA board meeting this week, the developer said that they had seen the comments sent to the county from the owners and would be responding to those questions about their compliance with the development agreement. Those responses should have been submitted with their original filing and able to be reviewed by the public, not at the 11th hour. This is exactly what we are requesting. A thoughtful, deliberate consideration of this development agreement prior to an unusual and very lengthy extension.Compliance Verification The Applicant acknowledges the concern regarding documentation of compliance. Compliance with Development Agreement obligations has been verified through County approvals over the life of the project. The proposed extension does not assume incomplete obligations as satisfied or waive enforceable requirements. The Applicant recognizes the risk of continued drought and is in the process of gathering better data on how to appropriately respond. This may include reassessing home irrigation practices. Thomas Miller Jan 19, 2026 I am opposed to the 15 year extension of the current Development Agreement without a thorough examination of how well they have complied with the agreement. …. At a minimum, I respectfully ask that the County require a written compliance review of the existing Development Agreement prior to any consideration of an extension. While the County is not required to grant an extension, the developer is required to comply with the agreement already in place.Compliance / Extension Scope The Applicant acknowledges the concern regarding the length of the extension and the request for independent verification of compliance. The proposed extension maintains existing obligations and does not reduce County authority to enforce applicable requirements.
