I support responsible and well-planned development. However, I believe it is <br />premature to extend the agreement when it appears the developer has not demonstrated full compliance with its existing <br />obligations. <br />The Development Agreement includes numerous commitments related to infrastructure delivery (I am particularly <br />concerned about Suncadia's requirement to provide improvements to the waste water and sewage infrastructure, and <br />believe that the rapid pace of development has outpaced their required improvements. There are areas throughout the <br />resort that smell or sewage which could indicate that the existing system is already over capacity.), public amenities, <br />environmental mitigation, and cost allocation. These commitments were intended to protect residents, the public, and <br />the County. To date, it is not clear that all such obligations have been fully satisfied or independently verified. <br />Approving an extension without a documented compliance determination risks transferring unresolved obligations to <br />homeowners, future purchasers, or the County itself. It also weakens the enforceability of development agreements <br />generally by signaling that compliance is optional. <br />Before any extension is considered, I respectfully request that the County require a comprehensive written compliance <br />review of the existing Development Agreement. That review should document compliance status in detail and identify <br />any outstanding obligations that must be cured. <br />If the County elects to proceed with an extension process, it should be expressly conditioned on independent verification <br />of compliance, with no waiver of prior noncompliance and with clear enforcement mechanisms for remaining <br />obligations. This approach supports transparency, accountability, and public trust.
