Legacy Pointe Phase 1 Final Plat
The Legacy Pointe developer wants to pave the final asphalt layer on main roads before the development reaches the usual 80% buildout. Residents and staff will weigh whether that's acceptable or should wait so the base road takes the construction traffic.
June Lake development agreements (Signature Homes)
Two infrastructure agreements would let Signature Homes start required road and utility work for June Lake Windfall Phase 1 and finish POD E Section 3, including final platting of 75 lots. These set the terms for how the major June Lake growth area gets built out.

Sawgrass and Sawgrass West Subdivision Infrastructure Deficiencies
Homeowners from Sawgrass and Sawgrass West told the board about massive builder defects left by Lennar, including broken irrigation, cracked pools, fire code violations in riser rooms, and a single master water meter forcing neighbors to pay each other's bills.
