Peachtree City officials may soon take action against a company that

apparently built a million-dollar plus home on top of a debris pit, according

to Mayor Steve Brown.

Brown said the home at 115 Peninsula Drive, owned by Tom and Lynn Fedor,

has had excessive settling problems since it was built over a year ago

get repairs made to no avail, Brown said.

Tom Carty, the city's top building official, met with Regency Homes

officials Wednesday about the problems and the company has 10 days to

respond to the complaints to try and convince the city the problems aren't

related to settling, Brown said.

The Fedors had engineering reports made on the house which determined

the lot's soil was not compacted and there was organic matter and

buried trees underneath the structure, Brown said.

The city could suspend all of Regency Homes' building permits in

the city and take legal action for building code violations if necessary,

Brown said.

Brown noted the Fedor's contract to purchase the property required

Regency Homes to obtain a structural warranty, but they later found out

such a warranty was never purchased by Regency Homes.
