Developer and HOA present memorandum of understanding as evidence of collaborative engagement

Petitioners presented a memorandum of understanding with the Maple Lawn Homeowners Association and read portions into the record, including a paragraph stating "Both the developer and the HOA share a commitment to preserving and strengthening the vision as Maple Lawn continues to evolve." The developer testified there were multiple community meetings, pre‑submission meetings and specific outreach to HOA representatives and that minutes and engagement documentation were in the petition filed with the county.

Opponents asked for more specifics about meeting attendance and minutes; the developer estimated a well‑attended recent pre‑submission meeting at roughly 40 people and testified the minutes and list of attendees reside with the petitioner's counsel and in the county record. The planning record indicates the MOU and community engagement report were accepted into the PDP record during the hearing.
