Personally, I think this is one of the Achilles tendons of the CDD concept.

Developer builds 1st class roads, utilities and appurtenances. County eventually takes them over and manages/maintains them, the same as they've maintained the rest of that county.

The only way I know of to change that scenario, is if there are enough voters in the CDD areas, to control County Government. Otherwise, the future is in the hands of County government, not the CDD's or Developer.
Don’t get me started on TIF, PILOT and other developer friendly agreements ....developer blind. But I digress...
