One of the main reasons I purchased my <br />home in this development was the conservation areas and only having the one lot available <br />next to mine. Now they want to take a home that was to be built in the cut-de-sac on St <br />Andrews to the conservation area on North Arm Drive. This is a very deceitful tactic. <br />I find it very interesting that they are offering to swap conservation area to make that lot <br />buildable in exchange for adding conservation area to the two lots that the developer owns and <br />built his own house on in the development. It seems far too convenient. There seems to be <br />some very strange things going on. Including the fact that the developers home which was <br />built by the company he is part owner of (Norton Homes) is valued at less than half of what <br />the builder who told me was over $3,000,000 yet is valued at $1.3 million. My home is taxed <br />higher and is smaller and less than half the price. I am curious how that works? <br />I have had many issues with the HOA which is managed by the developer. There are a very <br />large number of dead trees through the development and I had asked for them if they could <br />take them down. They said they can't cut down dead trees that are in the conservation area yet <br />its fine to go a build a home in it?? <br />I purchased my home from Norton Homes. They are absolutely awful to deal with. They <br />refuse to fix warranty items. They refused to provide the state mandated one year builder <br />warranty inspection which I have been trying to get them to fix items for two and a half years <br />now. They are liars that will tell you everything you want to hear to get what they need to <br />benefit them and in return do absolutely nothing that they promised after getting what they <br />needed. <br />I would ask that you strongly consider rejecting this plan and consider those that will be <br />effected by these unfair proposed changes. <br />If that is the case I want to delete all of the conservation area off of my lot as well. <br />Thank you, <br />Justin Crandall <br />:
