I believe what is happening is that WP will not be able to continue as a gated community if the county takes over their roads.  I don't know if this is the case here, but there is usually a period when there is a HOA, when the maintenance has to be turned from the developer to the homeowners. Usually it is expressed in terms of a percentage of the property has been sold.  In VA, it was a law, and we not only had to take over the road maint., we had to take over snow removal and insurance on any common areas.  I don't know if it is a law in Alabama.  The homeowners are lucky that this hasn't been enforced until now.  I suspect all of their communities have either faced this or will face this in the future.  I don't know how many roads are involved, but it can get expensive as roads need repaving.
