When the attorneys representing Hunter’s Ridge approached the city of Ormond Beach with a public records request — filed about a month before the city filed a lawsuit against the developer and Flagler County — the attorneys were informed that the records they sought would cost over $91,000 to produce.

Attorney Philip Crawford, who represents Hunter’s Ridge developer U.S. Capital Alliance, said he’s never seen such a high sum for a public records request. 

“We’re not looking for hard copy documents,” Crawford said. “We’re just looking for someone to do an electronic word search of the information requested and send it to us electronically.”
