HELP ON JEFF SALVIN

Does anyone know why Jeff Salvin was removed from the Chairman to a supervisor? Please send info to lakeashtontalk@yahoo.com

"ALL LAKE ASHTON HOMEOWNERS MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION"

So said Attorney Daniel Perry at his presentation at the Lake Ashton HFC on January 12th.Even if you do not have Chinese Drywall in your home, your property value has probably diminished because it exists within the community. Some communities have experienced up to a 50% decrease in property values because of the stigma associated with defective Chinese drywall. Mr. Perry stated that the first step in documenting and protecting your rights to possible future compensation is to send a certified return receipt letter to Mastercraft Homes requesting they inspect your home for defective Chinese drywall(at their expense) and certify that your home does not have any. Keep a record of any response,or non-response.
Mr. Perry also said that based on a successful legal action by homeowners actually affected by the product in their homes, you may be entitled to compensation by the builder. Such action may include :
Negligence-developer,builder, and supplier knew or should have known of health consequences prior to installing defective drywall;
Breach of Contract-affected homeowners have been deprived of quiet enjoyment of their homes and community;
Unfair or Deceptive Trade Practices-developer and/or builder knew or should have known homes were defective.
For confirmation, or more information, contact Attorney Daniel Perry at: dan@danielperry.com or dperry@weblawyer.com

Mastercraft Homes is belly up

Who built your Lake Ashton home?
Was it Mastercraft Homes LLC?
See State of Florida records where Mr. Schreiber has made a change for the company:
http://sunbiz.org/pdf/60235633.pdf
Was it Mastercraft Homes Inc? Is that now a dissolved company? It appears so!
So while everyone is sitting on their hands Mr. Schreiber is protecting his riches and those of Mr. Maxwell. Are you protecting yours?

Community Development Districts are getting more and more popular among politicians, developers and the whole connected industry. Local politicians love them, figuring they get all the future property taxes without having to invest anything. Developers can create their own little kingdoms without being supervised. They can write their own ticket and make huge profits without any big risks to them. The public bonds will finance all the necessary investments and if financial losses can't be avoided the homes of the people are the collateral for possible losses. Miscalculation from developers can be covered with money from the homeowners.

As in most cases the idea behind creating Community Development Districts is really good. But lack of supervision from the government agencies, which initially created these communities within communities, and the lack of enforcement of the existing Statutes, has definitely made many people think twice about the advantages of these developments.
