abandoned subdivisions

[JeanLafitte]

Noting wrong with a little quid pro quo nip. The tap tap on the windows has become rock throwing now. Like Skunky mentioned, a trend, and an unnecessary one as far as I am concerned.

P.S. I never bite, but if cornered, I will break out the lady Glock.

Femme fatale! Je t'adore.

my only mentioning of this process is not to invadee private property rights but to point out that purchaser of a subdivided lot advertised as having water, sewer, and electric has been left out in the cold by a defunct HOA or developer or a combination of both.

we have a great supply of proposed lots but no real build out or solid promise of buildout under the current system of placing lots in the record with actual installation of services. we could revert to each individual lot owner makinging sure they are seriviced by water and sewer along with electric, it is not counter to beoing a good conservative to ensure that a landowner has a proper access to services.

This is a basic right of propeety ownership to have what is promised in the transaction.

citeright, there are some subdivisions that were approved & started in SoWal ... NatureWalk, Chateaux de Paris (?!), maybe parts of Driftwood, I'm not sure, come to mind ... that may not be fully served by utilities.

But are you aware of subdivisions where lots with no services were sold to individual consumers?

Just remember I have gotten old and fat so you do not have to lead as much.

Now that is an interesting issue. While the infrastructure may have either been completed or a letter of credit used to allow the sale of a lot, nothing that I have seen secured the payments needed to be made for water/sewer taps. So I wonder if you can get a building permit. And if not, how does that affect the value of the land in the sd.

Factors other than the market rise and fall are Heritage Dunes has no build out restrictions, most lots are rental restricted (no short term).

I thought that it was a non-rental area. but I guess no short-term rentals covers it. I mean, who does a long-term rental in an area that expensive?

I know of people who have submitted their architectural plans to the architectural review committee and were turned down. I can't find anywhere that their architectural standards are specified. Any ideas? Anyone?

Harsetvedt Plantation on the south shore of the bay comes immediately to mind.

I'm sure the utility providers would like to collect some of their outlay money rather than have dead lines.

As long as taxes are being paid and the place is not a safety hazard or blight, I don't see why we need to interfere. If you sell someone a lot, whether or not it actually has sewer and utilities should be part of due diligence, no? Empty or unbuilt lots are rather low on my list of priorities - it's not natural to build out every lot at once.

Is Heritage Dunes at the corner of 30-A and the eastern Eastern Lake road (Lakeview)? If so, its vacant/abandoned self is more attractive and well maintained than most occupied properties in Sowal IMO. (though those funky little jogs in the sidewalk annoy me).

It's on Eastern Lake Road, west of Eastern Lake. Beautifully landscaped and gated. It extends from the Gulf on the south to 30A on the north, with Eastern Lake Road going down the middle.

Thanks - different one than I was thinking of, but it's still got nice landscaping and annoying crooked sidewalks so most still applies!
