NORTH PORT – The city of North Port has responded to a developers’ lawsuit against a citizen effort to try to contract the city’s boundaries through a referendum, and in it, attorney Nikki Day essentially has acknowledged the suit but has denied all assertions made on behalf of the developers of Wellen Park.
In a response filed March 8 to the third amended complaint filed by attorney David Smolker on behalf of the developers, Day admitted that residents filed a petition seeking contraction on July 14, 2020; filed a second one Oct. 28, 2020; and that the city is proceeding with a feasibility study on the petition and little else.
