It's exciting to see the energy around the Piper estates folks come together. Fact-finding. Budgets. Comparisons with other HOA practices.
I think it was inevitable that all 3 current Piper areas - Clearview, Heritage, Northridge - would begin to collaborate. The increase in the HOA dues seems to have united people.
I like the open communication between the homeowners. We have a lot to share - and that sharing benefits all of us. As in most groups, there are energized leaders who care enough to do the work. Thank you.
I'd like to suggest some priorities - which I hope generate some discussion. I'm OK with agreement - and disagreement. What's important is the positive discussion that results in a shared purpose - and unified action.
Priority 1 - Require equal dues from all Piper homeowners. Stop the two-tiered effort based on, as I understand, whether or not a household opts to use the pools. My reason here is that the pools are not safe or secure. There's no one checking who is using the facilities or not.
Priority 2 - Demand a $1,000 bonus paid to current homeowners who convince a friend, coworker, or family member to buy a home in Piper estates. This should be retroactive. We are proud of our community and when we refer people to live here - who then choose to buy here - we should get a payback for our efforts that helped sell another home.
Priority 3 - Require Curry Management to maintain the lake. It's an asset that has become more weed-choked each year. It's one feature that sets our development above other subdivisions. It's a beautiful selling point to future homeowners. 2007 should be the year when the weeds are cut back.
Priority 4 - Require Curry Management to clear out the concrete left behind be builders as soon as possible. These piles of concrete are an eyesore. Surely the leftover concrete can be removed before the Spring home selling season.
I hope this posting starts discussion that leads to some positive outcomes.
