Many things have changed <br />since the original development plans were filed with the county. The governing body most issues is the Home <br />Owners Association (HOA). The Developer holds controlling interest until 90% of the development is sold, the <br />home owners have a voice but no control. The Developer makes many decisions based on their financial gain; <br />perhaps not in the best interest of the home owners. <br />One such decision was the sale of the water company. Originally, the water company was owned and managed by <br />the Developer. It has since been sold. It was billed to the property owners and the Utility Commission as a no cost <br />change. Since the sale, there has been a deliberate cost shift of future water system development costs for future <br />homes, from developer to the water consumers (current home owners) resulting in increases to our water rates. The <br />water system is not fully developed to cover the future growth and will need further expansion. I assume this will <br />drive additional cost increases to my water bill. <br />I’m not apposed to continued development, I just want the developer held to the original agreements and the <br />homeowners have a equal vote in costs that will be paid by the HOA. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Charles Lynch <br />91 Jumbo Mine Lane <br />Cle Elum, WA 98922
