I support responsible and <br />well-planned development. However, I believe it is premature to extend the agreement when it <br />appears the developer has not demonstrated full compliance with its existing obligations. <br />The Development Agreement includes numerous commitments related to infrastructure <br />delivery, public amenities, environmental mitigation, and cost allocation. These commitments <br />were intended to protect residents, the public, and the County. To date, it is not clear that all <br />such obligations have been fully satisfied or independently verified. <br />Approving an extension without a documented compliance determination risks transferring <br />unresolved obligations to homeowners, future purchasers, or the County itself. It also weakens <br />the enforceability of development agreements generally by signaling that compliance is <br />optional. <br />Before any extension is considered, I respectfully request that the County require a <br />comprehensive written compliance review of the existing Development Agreement. That <br />review should document compliance status in detail and identify any outstanding obligations <br />that must be cured. <br />If the County elects to proceed with an extension process, it should be expressly conditioned <br />on independent verification of compliance, with no waiver of prior noncompliance and with <br />clear enforcement mechanisms for remaining obligations. This approach supports <br />transparency, accountability, and public trust. <br />Wendi Bogaard
