If the developer is fighting with you over Earnest Money then they're one helluva sh!tty developer. I've never-ever-heard of someone fighting over that. Then again, it's usually no more than $100-500 bucks. You may have more involved or invested. But to be quite honest, I doubt seriously a detention/retention pond is going to be something he had to run by you for your approval.
The earnest money is 10K. I'm not really concerned about the issue of him running the idea past us. We've already met with him and his response was just to run the drainage along the easement. A nonstarter for us as well, but he has the right. My question is about how we can get out of the contract, as written, and the interpretation and consequence of the language.

I'm not sure if lot deals are different than house deals, but I know with a house sale, there is generally language that stipulates if the condition of the property has changed between contract signing and closing, then the contract can be voided. I would think a retention pond would certainly be a change.
That having been said, if the pond stays within the easement, I'm not sure what your options are.
For 10K of earnest money, I'd spend an hour of legal fees to consult with a real estate attorney.
