    This developer needs to step up & fix this issue! Disrespectful to developer neighbors!
  • Developers and counties work together and its neighboring property owners who pay the bill. They will drive homeowners away and scoop up their land for more development

    The county commissioners should be taking action on what happened here. -At minimum, pushing for research and changes to their processes/allowances, and/or continuation of assessment for an issues such as this. To prevent it from happening again. -They could help this family mitigate the current situation, through known and helpful water management techniques. This technically is a safety / harmful impact to the community, so everyone should be able and willing to work on it.

    Sue the developer. Remove subdivision; may need to be done by residents. Environmental study should have been done first.

    These same developers do a half A job on irrigation sprinkler installation by hiring lazy laborers who barely bury the sprunkler pipes so I'd you run a shovel in your lawn you bust your own spirnkler pipes

    10000% says they are lying and always had this problem, they just want to make money and sue the developer. They don't look like the type of people who would have any savings #js
