ORANGE COUNTY -- Work can continue on a new resort going
up around a condominium owned by a family who refuses to sell.
|
The family who owns
the condo has been trying to hang on to the 1,100
square-foot property on Turkey Lake Road, and has refused to
sell it to Westgate Resorts for $150,000.
Orange County commissioners ruled Tuesday the developers can
build around the condo.
Construction on the 161-unit resort began with the condo
still standing, even though the Corredor family wouldn’t
give up the property.
The county previously gave Westgate Resorts permission to
build around the condo, but the family’s attorney appealed
the decision. |

The other issue at hand was that Westgate Resorts started
demolishing the condo.
Company officials said it was a mistake that happened before they realized
the condo hadn’t been sold.
But their work left the property owners out of compliance and facing fines.
Family members said if they got to keep the condo, they would reconstruct it
and make it livable again.
