Simple answer

I am still confused as to Alan's exact position with the Driftwood HOA.

Alan are you the President of the HOA?

If you are or were at the time these lawsuits were filed I could definately understand your name appearing on the suits. If you were not the President then I have a hard time dealing with your explanation.

Simple question.

I am not the president of the HOA, nor have I ever been. I am the appointed head of the legal commitee.
To clarify things there is

1)One Suit against the county.(Not funded by the HOA)It is being consolidated with another.

2)One Mandameus agaist the county(Demand for Public hearing)(Funded by HOA)

3) A suit against all parties involved besides the county for drainage and developmet issues. (Not funded by the HOA)

If you are having a hard time dealing with my answer, please go read the suits as they are public record and it will become very, very clear.

If you haven't noticed, the economy is at a halt and I don't believe a single commissioner can accomplish driving it further into oblivion. I think many people got greedy, too much overbuilding, and too many developers didn't finish what they started and promised
people who bought in their developments. Now the taxpayers may have to pick up some of the costs. Anyone who stands up against this, is the man.

Ok - I don.t have a clue about how to look them up and you are the candidate. You should be willing to fully disclose this.

Could you tell me who is funding the 2 suits that you say the HOA is not funding?

Who else serves on the legal committee?

My turn for a question

It would have been nice if you had done some research before "venting on me"

First part, I offered to attend any forum to discuss and show proof, plus the county minutes and the democratic video clearly detail EVERTHING. How much more disclosure do you wan't? How about you and may girl answering my question.
Do you want the county to pay to fix this mess or do you want the developer to pay and fix it?

As for the HOA I won't disclose it's business without their Written permission and yes Myself and other homeowners who chose to, are footing the bill for the lawsuits. Ball is in your court, please answer this simple question because that is what it really gets down to. Should everybody pay or the people who caused it.

I am looking at buying a home in a specific area of Freeport. I want to know everything about the builder, the developer, the neighborhood, the restrictions (boy have we been burnt by that one before), abandonments, and any other legal document that is available. I have also gone to the neighborhood when it rains, when the sun rises, and when it sets (call me anal if you wish). So I guess I am a bit confused. Maybe I dont have all the questions but it would seem to me that maybe Mr Osborne failed to investigate his purchase. I guess what is more confusing is why there should be a road through Sandestin from Driftwood since there already a road in and out? I think Sandestin is private or so they claim so how can you run a county road through private property without the "expressed written consent" or easement grant from the land owner? I would understand if there were no ingress or egress, or there was an existing road that had been customarily used.

Your right, do lots of homework. In my case most of the problem happened after I moved here, I had no idea the entrance flooded like it did unitil the first big rains came after the boondoggle changes. Your right about the documents for the road. First this so called Private road was public for over 30 years prior to sandestin's existance. It is on my plat and I have a 20 foot easement signed by the developer prior to Burnt pine being built and was recorded in the public record. I am simply asking for what I paid for. My plat was recorded prior to theirs and in sworn deposition the proof of abadonment required by statue could not be produced after four years of asking for it. Think about it, if somebody had the PROPER documents to refute my claim this would have been dismissed years ago. The simple fact is they don't.

Please don't get testy and agressive with me young man. You are the candidate not me. I was simply trying to reafirm my decision to vote for you.

You seek public office and some questions have been raised that seem to require your candid responses not offensive challenges.

You will be faced by those more demanding of your people skills.

I really have little knowledge of the issues in Driftwood Estates. But this is what I have gleaned from this thread. You do not seem to handle being questioned very well - you seem above those who have simple questions and send them packing to "Do their homework".

You are not a Major barking orders at some private now.

I think Mr. Osborne has answered your questions Interested girl. Figure out who you're voting for by doing your homework. You are the voter.
This is getting very UNinteresting.:bang:
