Now when they proposed that subdivision, like Chris said, the developer was supposed to
<br />improve that road, make it good, and the water system. Those conditions have not been
<br />met till today.
<br />GRAHAM:And those conditions were subsequent to the paving? They were
<br />supposed to happen after the paving was done?
<br />CARDOZA:No, no, no, no.
<br />GRAHAM:No. The paving was done without those conditions?
<br />CARDOZA:The paving, I guess, was just for everyone else to buy the lots; but
<br />the road issue was with that 25 lots. Road and water issues is that why, from my
<br />understanding, thatÓs why this subdivision did not happen. The cost versus what youÓre
<br />going to sell the lots for, it doesnÓt scale out, right. You know, spending, you know,
<br />millions in dollars and sell the lot for $500,000, I mean, how d
<br />Brewer scrapped it, from my understanding. So what IÓm saying is this situation has not
<br />been done. The problem is if weÓre going to, down-scaling is great. Like I say, I live up
<br />the street, I want to subdivide mine. But weÓre going to just get away, steal a little now,
<br />what about later? WeÓve got to deal with the problem later anyway. ThereÓs more
<br />people going to build there, more people going to live there. So my concern is, you
<br />know, we need to be careful on this issue.
<br />GRAHAM:Yeah, I think I understand you, then. That, in fact, the road
<br />requirements that should be done in order to make the 25-unit were not done because it
<br />didnÓt pan out as a cost-effective thing to do. Therefore, weÓre dealing with lower
<br />density here. And maybe if we go through it and donÓt require any road improvements,
<br />that really wouldnÓt be right on our part as far as you see.
<br />CARDOZA:Well, think of it this way. That lot would have been sold as one
<br />lot, right? What theyÓre trying to use is it was subdivided to 25 lots. Well, we cannot
<br />make 25, letÓs make six. The issue is that lot stipulation, to me, still applies to water and
<br />road improvements, still applies.
<br />GRAHAM:So it feels like weÓre -.
<br />CARDOZA:WeÓre not going to put the page under this page.
<br />GRAHAM:Okay. Well, I have the discomfort that our Chairman has, also,
<br />then.
<br />CARDOZA:I live there. Like I say, you guys welcomed, we can have a
<br />meeting, we go there. I like to see that happen if it does happen; but letÓs do it right, you
<br />know, Òcause I going be affected. I going have to see 20 cars coming down the road and
<br />moving on the side of the road. Or I want to put a fire hydrant, IÓll call the County, ÐOh,
<br />we need a fire hydrant, oh, you cannot. You only have a 4-inch
<br />15
