Repko v. County of Georgetown – Court of Appeals holds that county ordinances, which allowed developer to post financial guarantees in lieu of completing required infrastructure improvements before selling undeveloped subdivision lots, imposed special duty on county to purchaser of two undeveloped lots to manage financial guaranty provided by developer, and therefore, county was not immune under public duty rule from owner’s negligence action against county, filed after county allowed several reductions in the guarantee, developer filed bankruptcy, and infrastructure was left unfinished.
