Saratoga Springs residents demand action from Lennar and DAI on stalled amenities

Residents of Saratoga Springs voiced their frustrations over unmet promises regarding community amenities during the City Council meeting on June 3, 2025. Homeowners from the Wildflower Development expressed their disappointment with the ongoing delays in the construction of promised facilities, including parks and a lake.

Rob Taylor, a long-time resident, highlighted the lack of homeowner control over the Homeowners Association (HOA), which is still managed by the developer, DAI. He emphasized that despite assurances from DAI about the opening of Wildflower Lake, residents have been left waiting with no clear timeline. "What we need is action to fulfill their promises," Taylor stated, urging the council to hold the developer accountable.

Fellow resident Ralina Farmer echoed these sentiments, pointing out that the community has yet to see any completed amenities. "We were promised pocket parks, but they built homes instead," she lamented. Farmer criticized the lack of communication and legal recourse available to homeowners, as the HOA shares a legal team with DAI, leaving residents feeling powerless.

Additionally, Sean Robinson raised concerns about pedestrian safety, following up on a petition for a crosswalk between Light Farms and Patriot Park. He inquired about the status of a road study that was mentioned in previous meetings, seeking clarity on when residents could expect updates.

The meeting underscored the growing frustration among residents regarding the development's management and the need for more transparency and accountability from both the developer and the city council. As the summer approaches, the community hopes for swift action to address these long-standing issues.
