These reports and proposals from developers should be made public at least 30
days before approval of developement and public input allowed. Then these
developers do have resources of state and university geoligical surveys to also
use along with the new research required. And cities should not be allowed to
indemnify themselves of rezoneing a hazardous area for developement as long as
the state has the area already zoned. There is no technology that can surcomvent
Mother Nature regardless of claims by developers who often do not comply with
conditional developement anyway. A buck saved is a thousan dollars in their
pockets and once developed and sold they are released of any liability to
homeowners. Perhaps developers should have permenant liabilty for developing
hazardous areas, even with the rezoning approval. This would insure developers
and builders comply with the requirements set forth for developement and a safe
home to live in. A non refundable permanent bond in the millions be required in
addition to cover the inadequices in the construction and building of marginally
safe homes.
