Haines City warns developers it lacks water capacity | Exclusive

Haines City has already stretched its potable water and wastewater capacity beyond its regulatory limits, but has found a way to continue approving new construction — at the developers' own risk. City Commissioners voted unanimously on Nov. 5 to approve a Concurrency Developer Agreement for all new construction applications going forward. Haines City officials admit they cannot guarantee when the city will have adequate drinking water or wastewater services available, and are putting developers on notice. "We have recognized the deficiencies in our utility system," Interim City Attorney Seth Claytor said. "Until that is resolved, no vertical construction would be approved. " It's a workaround to prevent implementing a moratorium on new development as the city faces water shortages and infrastructural strain on its wastewater system. Developers who sign the agreement have to agree to hold the city and its employees harmless, aiming to limiting their ability to sue if projects get stranded. "It's the best protection I can give the municipality," Claytor said. Deputy City Manager James Keene said any developments applying for approvals will be required to sign it, understanding that they can begin paperwork and horizontal development such as laying or relocating utilities, paving roads, curbs and

The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.
