I never said anything about 80% of the people belonging to a country club. I am saying Wedgewood has restrictions because they want people to join their expensive country club, and have regulations regarding back yard uses. Stronger deed restrictions there makes sense.

One neighborhood may be fining, and it was in their ORIGINAL deed restrictions. The intent in our deed restrictions was that we have a system in place, which includes arbitration. Why do we need fines when we have something in place already?

I doubt if the other subdivisions would want to get involved in starting a fine system because they know how to handle these issues.

Not so sure?

I beleive after talking to friends of mine who live in other subdivisions around here that they face the same issues. That is why my suggestion would be to find a common way, to deal with these issues so we are all on the same page, and we can rid this area of such problems.

It seems you agree there is a problem? Maybe all of the HOA's can pool their money to find an attorney who can make suggestions as to how to approach the probem and get it resolved.

to not so sure

Why dont you put up your own money and hire a lawyer? Many people I talk to think everything is OK. If you have all these suggestion why dont you do something about it instead of complaining. These trustee do not get paid to here all of your problems, they do what they can for the whole developement, not just for one person who doesnt think things are going his way!!!

To the real complainer.

I believe there are more people in this subdivision who believe like I do that something needs to be done with these irresponsible people. Who are you talking to? Those who don't care? I am not complaining. I am trying to look out for the best interest of those who do care, and those who want to see progress instead of the status quo. I have all respect for the trustees, and that is why I am suggesting trying to form a collaborative effort with other HOA's who have the same issues.

A good example being the house on the corner of Waynebrown and Big Bear. Two of them actually. A house on Waynebrown closer to Powell Road. What about the houses on Ireland Court that are owned by speculators and not being taken care of. I heard one person recently turned down a chance to move because they would have to take a loss due to the property around them. Many other examples could be made. I don't think it is just me, and it is people like you who don't give a crap that stop anything from changing to make it better.

I am only making a suggestion here. Is it that bad that you can't live with trying to work a common solution to a growing problem?

It sounds like you might just stand in the way?. What if I were to suggest to the trustees that a committee,( not them,) be deveoped to look into this solution. I am not stupid and have talked to other subdivisions who I believe would welcome this as a way to move forward. We do have language in our deed, although not tightly written, that suggest we could implement measures to enforce compliance. I am not an attorney, but know enough to believe it should be looked into.

From some of the things that happened in the past I suggest that just because someone is trying to make improvements, others who don't want this to happen will rise up and do everything they can to interfere with the process.

Now YOU stop complaining about people who are trying to make this a
better place, and make the deadbeats who think it OK for their properties to look like crap and don't care how it effects their neighbors.
