Lakeshore Association presses council for answers on Beacon Point site plan and safety; litigation pending
Summary
Lakeshore Subdivision Association president Terry Cox said association members were not given a written response about Beacon Point site-plan changes, raised traffic and emergency-access safety concerns, and asked the council to place a stop-work order; council deferred to the town attorney because litigation is pending.
Terry Cox, president of the Lakeshore Subdivision Association, told the council his group of about 100 families had participated in public hearings and submitted written comments about the Beacon Point site plan but had not received written responses. He said the association believes the site plan in construction differs from the BZA approval and reported that a stop-work order had been issued, but construction nevertheless continued.
Cox asked the council to explain under what authority construction continued and why the public was not re-engaged. He said the association had requested traffic, drainage and emergency-access reviews and had not been provided copies. “We would like to know how that decision was made under what authority and why the public never brought back into that process,” Cox said, and asked the council to place a stop-work order and correct outstanding safety issues before project finalization.
The council declined to discuss the matter in detail in the public meeting and deferred to town counsel because litigation is pending; the council and staff noted they have attorneys engaged for the issue. The association indicated it had legal representation and said it preferred to resolve the matter without additional litigation but told the council it may pursue legal options if the town does not respond in writing.
