She said the <br />application was submitted by Steven Lathrop, authorized agent for <br />New Suncadia, LLC, landowner, for a 72 detached residential lot <br />(primarily second or vacation homes) plat with associated roadways, <br />a clubhouse and pool amenity, as well as Open Space and service <br />tracts on approximately 290.3 acres of land that is zoned Master <br />Planned Resort. The proposed lots range in size from 8,400 to <br />38,000 square feet in conjunction with the preliminary plat <br />application. LATHAN WEDIN, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT, felt Staff <br />did a good job on their Staff Report and is available to answer any <br />questions the Board may have. <br /> <br />THOSE PRESENT & TESTIFYING: IRA ATHERTON said he had witnessed <br />countless violations of the conditions of approval ever since he’s <br />lived in Suncadia relating to pollution. He mentioned he was not <br />opposed to the proposed plat, but was opposed to all of the <br />violations that’s been happening. He encouraged the Board to add a <br />condition to the Development Agreement to have an onsite person <br />available with an email and a phone number to report contractor <br />violations. THERE BEING NO OTHERS REQUESTING TO TESTIFY, THE PUBLIC <br />PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> <br />MR. WEDIN said they do what they can to ensure there are no <br />violations, but it’s difficult to do anything without specifics <br />provided to them. He agreed they should have a better number for <br />reporting violations as they would like to know about the situations <br />before they get to the County. <br /> <br /> <br />
