Milce Bucic presented to <br />you a collection of resident concerns regarding current projects, incomplete or faulty past projects, and <br />problematic future plans for Churton Grove. From personal interactions with the developers and county <br />planners I can say without a doubt that if these problems are to be rectified, phase 4 should not be <br />allowed to open or they will never be corrected. The county planners have failed to enforce the tenets of <br />the special permit, but by limiting expansion, the current developer will be motivated to correct current <br />problems, and more importantly, they will supply the needed influence on the past developer to finish <br />his contracted projects. <br />I would like to echo the concerns that Mike Buck raised and urge you to respond to his questions prior <br />to the sale of lots from the final phase of construction in the development (phase 4). Timing is of the <br />essence since the strongest motivator for the developers to complete past contracted projects is to require <br />their completion prior to moving forward with the last phase. The power of this influence was <br />recognized from the inception of the development and the reason for its requirement in the original <br />special use permit. <br />To date there are still many projects that remain unfinished from the first and second phases, which <br />demonstrates that if the projects are not completed before moving on to the next phase, they will not be <br />completed or move at a snails pace over years of prodding. I hold the county planners responsible to a <br />great extent for this by allowing many important and obvious safety issues to be overlooked and not <br />applying the pressure they have at their disposal to require contracted projects to be completed. <br />I have personally contacted Robert Davis and Craig Benedict at least a dozen times in the past 9 months <br />to ask that they require the developers past (Jim Moore) and present (Newland) to act on unfinished <br />contracted projects and obvious safety problems that were negligently overlooked during <br />
