He stated that County <br />staff and Health Alliance staff have investigated the complaints and dealt <br />with those issues for which the County has enforcement power. However, he <br />stated there might be "civil" issues between the homeowners and contractors <br />that could be pursued by the homeowners. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mike Downs, Development Services Director, explained the process <br />for inspecting mobile homes and correcting code violations. <br /> <br /> Mr. Neikirk and Mr. Borders reiterated their complaints that the County <br />has not done its part in correcting the problems in the Osprey Lake <br />Subdivision. They specifically expressed concern that the lake may be drained <br />and stated in their opinion the lake belongs to the homeowners. <br /> <br /> Mr. Randy Wiggins, developer, explained that the North Carolina <br />Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) regulates the lake <br />dam. He stated he is continuing efforts to get the State to reclassify the <br />dam from "high risk" to a low hazard dam. He stated the issue should be <br />resolved by the end of the month. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jonathan Marshall, Planning Services Director, addressed issues <br />concerning the development of the subdivision around the lake. He stated <br />that Mr. Wiggins is taking the proper action to resolve the problems <br />associated with the lake. <br /> <br /> <br />
