Community Development District 6 is the latest district to decide to review its easement restriction policy after hearing Friday morning from a resident.
“On Jan. 1, 2015, one full year before my wife and I became proud Villagers, the curbing and easement standard was changed from a workable 2 foot standard from the property’s edge, to an overly aggressive 10 feet from the front line, 7.5 feet from the back line and 5 feet on side boundaries. My home, like the majority of homes in the Mallory neighborhood and the rest of the district, has a 10 foot back property line and a 5 foot side property line, making the Jan. 1, 2015 curbing standards totally unrealistic and impossible to support,” said Glenn Pizzulo of the Village of Mallory Square.
He likened it to Obamacare.
“(It) was probably well intentioned in design, but is catastrophic in reality,” he said.
And like Obamacare, the easement policy needs to be “repealed and replaced,” Pizzulo said.
District counsel Valerie Fuchs said the easement restriction had been changed due to concerns about flooding. She conceded the revision may have been “more aggressive than necessary.”
CDD 6 supervisors were sympathetic to Pizzulo’s plea.
“I think it is something we should review again,” said CDD 6 Chair Sally Moss of the easement restriction.
