AS PROMISED, "THE RESIDENT, THE DRAINAGE DITCH, AND THE TREE "

JUST A PICTURE - NOT THE TREE, OR THE DITCH NOTED IN THE ARTICLE BELOW.
WHY NOT USE ANOTHER PICTURE TO REPRESENT THE SITUATION, WHEN YOUR BOARD USED THEIR OWN MADE UP LANGUAGE OF DOCUMENTS TO REPRESENT THEIR DECISION TO PAY $7,950 OF OUR ASSESSMENT FUNDS TO REMOVE TREES FALLEN DURING HURRICANE MATTHEW ON PRIVATE CANAL LOTS, BUT REMEMBERED THE LANGUAGE IN OUR DOCUMENTS WHEN A TREE TAKEN DOWN BY HURRICANE MATTHEW PLUGGED DRAINAGE ON A PRIVATE WEDGEFIELD GOLF COURSE LOT?

During the resident comment section of the September WPA meeting, a resident on Francis Parker discussed a problem about a tree blown over during Hurricane Matthew, on a private Wedgefield golf course lot near his, that had blocked this man's drainage ditch.  During the recent Hurricane Maria (down graded to tropical storm here), it resulted in 7 feet of flooding in his yard.  It appeared, that he had notified the board, and McMillin had gone out to look at the problem.  McMillin spoke from the board table and said that his observation was that it was a problem that would have to be remedied by Mansfield Plantation.  The resident responded that he felt that it should be looked at, and he shouldn't be blown off by the board.  He went on to report that the fallen tree did indeed fall from a Wedgefield lot owned by his neighbor, and that he still had his lot markers on his lot, and the board should come out and verify it. The resident asked if the board didn't care about it, what would keep a lot owner from filling in the ditch.

The narrative gets a little complicated as board members jump in.  President Walton says at one point ,"up to the property owner, they thought we could do something, and I didn't think we should."  McMillin asks how anybody would even get back there?
Garrison interjects at points saying that a letter needs to be sent to the home owner (where the tree originated) advising the owner THAT THEY NEED TO REMOVE IT, and if they don't, the board will get involved, and BILL HIM FOR IT.

To the Francis Parker resident who stood up and brought this issue to light at the meeting, I have three sincere requests.  1) Please stay with this until you get the result promised in our governing documents, and the words that came from the board table - a letter needs to be sent to the home owner (where the tree originated) advising the owner THAT THEY NEED TO REMOVE IT, and if they don't, the board will get involved, and BILL HIM FOR IT.  2)  Give some thought to how the board handled removing trees damaged by Hurricane Matthew on private canal lots, and didn't charge the lot owners, but you and every lot owner here, and write and ask the board which time they did the right thing, according to the governing documents. 3)  Remember who on the board voted illegally for us all to pay for trees on private canal lots (according to the governing documents that they are now using legally in your situation), and promote a "NO VOTE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF MCMILLIN", BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE WE CAN REMOVE THROUGH A VOTE THIS YEAR.  CONSIDER FILLING THE THREE BOARD SEATS ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR, BY VOTING FOR BUTCH WILLIAMS, CONNIE DOWNS, AND BILL STEINER!

A PUBLIC MESSAGE TO THE BOARD:  Residents, as of the September 2017 board meeting, have now had the opportunity to see first hand, how you violated our governing documents, and charged all of us $7,950 for tree cutting due to the damage brought by Hurricane Matthew on private canal lots, and how you legally used the governing documents to assign charges to a private golf course lot owner, to the situation presented at the September board meeting under like circumstances - Hurricane Matthew- a fallen tree - a private lot.  

You haven't answered my important question yet?  Is it because you were trying to sooth the private canal lot owners, who you want to support your illegal dredge?  Answer the question that I've been waiting for weeks for you to answer:  "If the board has not assessed the private canal lot owners, please reference the section, and specific language in the governing documents that allowed the board to use WPA funds, for the tree removal on private lots."
