Gated community project hits snag.

Progress has stalled on the first community in Windermere to get approved as a gated community, Rosser Reserve.

The development has several lots on or near Lake Butler, one of the priciest locations in Central Florida.

One of the members of Rosser Reserve LLC, Sue Prosser, filed to put the project into bankruptcy Wednesday. Prosser’s attorney cited a dispute with her partner in the project, Orlando developer Timothy Leon Green Jr., according to court records.

The bankruptcy documents state that the project has $5.8 million in secured debts, meaning debts with a mortgage or other collateral, and $2.9 million unsecured debts.

A case summary filed by Prosser’s attorney, Bill Porter, further accused Green of not disclosing a criminal record, refusing to provide details about his lender, and of sabotaging the irrigation system at Rosser after she tried to change the name of the street running through it. Green denies the accusations. “They don’t have any proof that I did anything, and I haven’t. I didn’t even know where the irrigation was,” Green said. According to him, the project has stalled because the housing market has changed, and people don’t want to buy lots, they want finished homes.

Acknowledging that he has a criminal record, Green said that was all in his past.

Green is an Orlando native with ties to other projects, including a proposal in front of city officials currently to build out a bar next to the Orlando City Soccer Club’s stadium called the Lion’s Den.

He said his company, Green Tree Development Group, expects to be able to begin construction on the Lion’s Den after Christmas.

As for Rosser Reserve, Green said his part of the project is done, including landscaping, walls and utilities. He said his attorney will file a response to Prosser’s bankruptcy accusations soon, and he believes the case will be dismissed.

“We are separating, going our separate ways,” he said of Prosser.

Rosser Reserve was Green’s debut in the development world. It includes 10 lots across ConroyWindermere Road from Isleworth. The land was owned by descendants of early Windermere settler John William McMurtrey. Prices were to range from $800,000 for five interior lots to as much as $1.8 million for five lakefront lots.

Microsoft scam
