What has the Lake Ashton Leadership actually done for its Residents? Part 2

To All Lake Ashton Residents:

There is a forthcoming CDD meeting (will be held Friday, July 12 at 9 am in the Ballroom) to discuss the deteriorating roads of our community.  

For those residents who have recently moved to the LA community and for the long time residents, I encourage your attention to the the following link  http://lakeashtontherestofthestory.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html where the road way problem was addressed.

In summary:  Past and current CDD leadership have misled both  this community but also the lawyers 'we' paid to represent us, the Residents, interests regarding this issue.

In the referenced posting, Jack and Brenda Van Sickle, Jake Eaton, Paul and Carol Pontious, Margot and Keith Stevens, Carol Hanson, Jackie Perez, Frank Ota, David Ross, Murray Zacharia, Steve Mattox, Jim Moyer, Jo Ann and John De Winkler, Sonny Robinson,  Jeffery Salvin - ALL of these people have intentionally lied to this community and to the lawyers hired to protect our, the residents, interests, by not informing the lawyers of the full scope and magnitude of the life long, multi-million dollar road repair issue facing this community.

Why would these residents who have held or hold elected office would lie about this issue is anyone's guess, but the facts are the facts.  Either these 'leaders' are incompetent  or that they are invested with the Developer.  Maxwell (the developer) had sold to many in this community, via Robert Ference (a Lake Ashton resident) company, an investment based upon Maxwell's financial holdings, of which many of the aforementioned people, have or are invested.  In short, these 'leaders' have been protecting their OWN financial interests at the expense of the financial interests of the Residents.  

Since 2006, The Lake Ashton AdHoc Committee, has attempted to educate all Lake Ashton Residents about this issue and the financial impact, both to the future value of our property and direct impact to our wallets each and every year.

The Carpetbaggers have worked very hard via the Lake Ashton Coconut Telegraph, (word of mouth) to demonize anyone who challenges their views on this or any issue.  

It is time for all Residents to do their own due dillegence regarding this issue.  GET the facts and do not rely on what someone tells you to be the facts.  The failing road issue will NOT go away just because 'we' do not like the issue -- sticking our heads in the sand clearly isn't solving this issue.

on 22 May 2011, below is what was posted regarding what these 'leaders' did regarding this issue: 

What these ‘leaders’ have said / done
What these ‘leaders’ are saying / doing now
Regarding the Lake Ashton Roadways:
Regarding the Lake Ashton Roadways:
·        There is NOTHING wrong with our roads
·        Less than a year after wasting $78,000 dollars by not following through with law suit and failure to inform the Lawyers that Lake Ashton faces a multi-million dollar life long road repair problem, NOW suddenly our ‘leaders” recognize that Lake Ashtonroadways are failing
·        Lied to the Residents by misrepresenting the truth and the extent of the problem
·        Refuses to file a law suit against the FOUR companies (3 of which are still in business) , that were responsible in the building our defective roadways
·        Resisted and fought against obtaining  engineering assessments regarding the statues of our roadways
·        INSTEAD of holding those who built these defective roadways accountable. are making plans that will cost the Residents hundreds of thousands of dollars to attempt to repair our failing roads
·        Wasted $78,000 of residents money by NOT informing lawyers that there was a lifelong, multi-Million road repair problem
·        That is right – these ‘leaders’ much rather reach into YOUR pocket to pay for the life long road repair problems vice having those who built these defect roads held accountable and pay for these repairs
·        All of their votes and actions to date, have been in favor of the Developer and at the expense and determent to all the Residents


·        Continue to Refuse to file a law suit against the FOUR companies (3 of which are still in business) , that were responsible in the building our defective roadways


Six months after our 'leaders' mis-led the law firm hired to address the failing roadways, the CDD spent $500,000 in effort to 'repair' part of the failing roadways.  Now, less than a year since this 'repair' the very same road sections are failing once again.  The CDD had contacted several road construction companies and ALL have refused to do future repairs since, per their expert opinion, is that the roadways installed in Lake Ashton were improperly installed (roads do not have the required base) and as a result, these companies do not want to be held liable for what amounts to only a short term cosmetic 'repair'.
