Saint John resident raises concerns about prior HOA enforcement, Lennar-built homes and building commissioner
Summary
Resident Terry Nelman used the public-comment period to dispute statements made at a prior meeting about a lawsuit involving Lennar and the homeowners association and to raise concerns about alleged construction defects and the building commissioner's oversight.
During the public-comment period at the May 28 St. John Town Council meeting, resident Terry Nelman addressed the council about a matter discussed at a prior meeting involving Lennar and the homeowners association.
Nelman identified herself as a St. John resident of 25 years and said her address is 9500 West 103rd Place. She told the council there was no lawsuit by Lennar against her but rather legal action by the Saint John Homeowners Association; she said she pleaded guilty to a public-service warning posted in her garage and accepted a reduced attorney-fee assessment to avoid larger fees. “I pleaded guilty to have a public service warning in my garage,” Nelman said. She told the council the warning related to a public-service notice and not to a personal lawsuit by Lennar.
Nelman further asserted building problems in homes she described as “structurally deficient, dangerous Lennar built homes” and urged the council to review actions by the town’s building commissioner, whom she named as John C. Gill. The council president interrupted to note the item was a statement in the public-comment period; no council action or referral was recorded on the subject during the meeting. Nelman said she would continue to pursue the matter publicly and thanked the council for the opportunity to speak.
No follow-up motion or staff assignment was recorded in response to Nelman’s comments during the meeting.
