I will be speaking at the BCC tuesday night. It has been over 60 days since the BCC gave the developers a order to comply within 45 days.(They have done nothing!) I have already sued the developers for noncompliance. I will offer to let the county join our suit at MY expense to both fix the neighborhood and repay the county for the money it has spent. Just so the facts are straight the State DCA is in agreement with the homeowners on the drainage deviations from the development order and have stated so in writing. See you there!:lolabove:

1. A firm called Smith, Brooks and Masterson.
2. I'm suing for compliance with the DRI, the development order and State law on right-of-way and plat abadonment, so yes that includes the D.O. too.
3. Yes, layne smith is an AV rated litigator with a lot of courtroom expierience in trail by jury and Steve Masterson has over 17 years of tallahasse legislation expierence and is a expert on state law and procedures on compliance with such. They have no business ties to walton county and feel so positive about our position they have even done some things pro bono. we are prepared to see it through to trail or to settlement with compliance being the requirement. I will post the case numbers if anybody wants to read it, it's public record. I don't want to discuss in depth unless I'm in front of the BCC on the record but I am happy to tell you where to look up a document on the web and you can be the judge yourself.
Please post the case number or plaintiff/defendant/forum. Thanks, JC

Fun read........Get yourself real familiar with the cause and affect of the term "churn" as it pertains to cases like this. Good luck.

so as it stands both the owners in DW and the BCC are "developmentally challenged"?

I'm pretty sure the cost of suit is going to exceed the cost of fulfilling the improvements in the DO. Maybe, there is something in the suit goal that has more value than the drainage issue. If that is the case, I understand the business decision.

Is there still a moratorium on new building permits in Driftwood?
Beach LoverAuthor
Yes, it is still in place. Also Intrawest, Olson(North tip) adams homes and Campbell engineering will face a jury over Driftwood too. Court date is not set on this one yet, But the judge has ruled on the pleadings.

What has to happen in order to permit a new home on the bayfront Driftwood parcels?
Beach Fanatic
Oh yes, more than I ever wanted to in the beginning, but Mr. Osborne has inspired me to keep current.
Go to the annex and apply. The limitation does not apply to those parcels.

You can get a permit on the bayfront lots as long as you comply with the drainage requirements. It's not hard with the bigger lots. My lot is in compliance and I will be happy to assist anyone who needs to understand how to comply so this issue doesn't hurt the people who own lots in the parts not affected by the lawsuit. If you need to talk my cell is 685-4607, I'll provide you the documents you need and help you with the HOA too if you need it. I hope that helps you AA.

Any help you or another can give me to this would be very helpful. I understand there is a desireable bayfront lot foreclosure. Does the current Driftwood lawsuit slow up deed transfers? Are there releases, etc.? Thanks

So what's the deal? If I buy a lot in Driftwood will I be a party to the lawsuit?

The HOA was a named plantiff in at least one of the four suits originally filed.
Only an HOA member can speak to whether the association members are on the hook for legal fees.
