Overview: During a recent Southwick Planning Board meeting, a debate unfolded over the release of developer obligations concerning infrastructure improvements in the Sunnyside Ranch Estates subdivision. Residents, led by Mark Fulkill, a homeowner representative, conveyed frustration over the town’s consideration to absolve developers from their commitments to road repairs. Fulkill highlighted that homeowners had collectively incurred over $11,000 in expenses for safety issues linked to substandard road construction, resulting in two significant injuries. He criticized the town for allegedly releasing the covenant without proper inspections or documentation confirming the completion of required work, referencing multiple engineer reports indicating the absence of necessary top coat applications. Fulkill urged the board to reconsider their stance, emphasizing the need for the town to assist residents in recovering these costs.
