quote:

Architecture Report – Craig Walling in Ed Russell’s absence presented a room addition submitted by
David and Robyn Fonk [7547 W. Libby] with the required 4 signatures from surrounding homeowners.
Craig will go over the proposal with Ed and get back to the Board with the Architecture Committee’s
recommendation.

Craig also presented Mr. Davies’ proposal to split Lot 25 and Lot 26 on Villa Theresa.
Mr. Davies wants to remove the middle garage and disconnect his home on Lot 25 from the RV garage on
Lot 26 and sell Lot 26 as a separate Lot. By removing the middle garage and leaving only an RV garage
on Lot 26 this immediately makes Lot 26 out of compliance according to the CC&Rs. The necessary 4
signatures required from surrounding homeowners were not available. This proposal was put on hold
until Mr. Davies can provide more information and the required signatures to the Architecture Committee.
Due to time constraints Mr. Davies has claimed because of a sale of Lot 26 that is supposed to close on
April 7th, the Board said they would call a Special Board meeting after he provides the necessary
paperwork so it can be reviewed by the Board and Architectural Committee in further detail.

Mr. Klepke spoke to the Board regarding the fact that he has already erected a temporary structure as a
cover for his boat and trailer without approval from the Architectural Committee and Board. He said he
did not realize there was an HOA Architectural Committee review requirement although he has been
paying dues for several years. He has received a Notice of Violation from the HOA Management
Company. Mr. Klepke brought additional information, pictures of his home, pictures of other structures
in the neighborhood that are erected, and 27 signatures of various homeowners approving his cover, etc.
Mr. Klepke stated that he realizes that he erected the structure without approval but would like guidance
from the Architectural Committee and Board on how he can modify the structure in order to receive
approval. Mr. Klepke stated the current structure’s dimensions are adjustable, up/down, narrower and
that the cover can be upgraded to a nicer fabric instead of the cheap tarp it currently has. The Board
stated that they will postpone enforcing the cease and desist letter he received from the Management
Company in order to review the situation further with him. Further discussion will follow.

never buy a home with an HOA. Townhouse, maybe, house, never.

you say that until one or more of your neighbors decides to stop giving a gently caress and just pile trash/cars/other junk in their front yard. im outside of city limits aint no code enforcement here but the hoa that is like $600 a year or something. my last house was in a different municipality and there were houses in that neighborhood that straight up may have been abandoned and there was no hoa so no one did anything

there are good ones and bad ones, just got to make sure you dont buy in a bad one and/or have social skills to communicate with neighbors

Hidden Manor HOA Board of Directors posted:

Compliance Report: Weeds vs. Flowers - Mr. Horne was invited to attend the meeting to discuss weeds vs. flower but chose not to attend. Complaints have been received that one homeowner’s perception of flowers is being challenged. Stan Baltzo presented history and information from the CC&Rs. He reconfirmed that landscape design that infringes on other homeowners yards is out of compliance and is a violation. Plants that grow up through rock/desert landscaping is considered weeds whether it produces a flower or not. Discussion followed and was opened to the public. The consensus was that the plants that flowered in Mr. Horne’s yard are considered weeds and are a violation according to the CC&Rs. Stan reported that BlueSky Management continues to drive through the neighborhood twice each month sending out violation letters when necessary. He reports that homeowners are positively responding to the letters and correcting many of the violations.

the exclusion of sidewalks is an extremely intentional segregation measure.

this reminds me that the Atlanta Braves are moving to an Atlanta suburb and the county very explicitly said they don't want it to be used as an excuse to extend the train line up there because then black people would have access to Cobb county

the really disgusting thing about HOAs is the various groups that make bank running, advising, and managing them have convinced/bribed various municipalities and counties to require them for all new planned developments.

also if you want to piss off you HOA get a amateur radio license and put up a tower. the FCC have put their foot down that HOAs can't do jack poo poo to ban them and it makes the HOAs so loving mad to be told "no".

alternately, mount one of those old fashioned 2+ meter wide satellite dishes for weird free to satellite tv. cuz the FCC also says those are a-ok and an hoa/landlord/whatever can only prevent you putting one up if they provide an alternate means to get the same programming
