Guess you should scrutinize the docs including covenants prior to construction?
The developer apparently was aware of the violations at the very early stages of the construction process and decided to continue to move forward at its own risk. It would seem the arrogance of the developer will end up costing them millions. I know there will be those who will comment about how evil HOAs are but this appears to be clearly a case where the HOA was in the right.
David S. – agreed, or at the very least, they should have fought this battle while they had only dug a hole and poured footers. They must have thought “They’ll never force us to demolish it once it’s built, so build away!” Oops. Who gets dragged into litigation next? The architect, surveyor, others?
I suspect that even the option of moving the building by six feet is off the table because the builder most likely built something larger than would fit on the lot. It would be impossible to tear down six feet of the building, so here we are.
Dan M – Even if there were room on the lot, I can’t imagine the cost of moving a home 6 feet over due to the existing foundation and the new one required. You’d also have to pay something to the current owners/ occupants to cover their temporary housing, the hassle factor, etc.
Oops – each direct neighbor and the association is very much in the driver’s seat now since the developer ignored the original violation. $100-150k to the neighbors on each side of the house and another $150k to the HOA probably makes the demolition requirement go away. Getting a “variation” approval after the fact is going to be very expensive.
The Mercho’s are a joke to start with.
So is the attorney for MHM also the owner of the property? Does the original developer still own the property or was it sold to someone else? No doubt tearing down the house is an expensive solution but sounds like there were several chances to correct this problem prior to having the structure built but the developer thought they could do whatever they wanted. Hard to feel sorry for MHM under these circumstances.
