The Wedgefield Examiner has not discussed the ridiculous Wedgefield Christmas tree, despite the fact that four people have called me about it. The calls varied. The first, asked, " have you seen that little tree, or missed it because it is so small?" The second long term, law abiding resident wanted to know if I would help him/her, send a message to the board. They were going to prepare a huge card which stated, similar to your car side mirror - "THE OBJECT MAY APPEAR SMALLER THAN IT IS." I wouldn't cooperate in placing the card in the circle after dark. The third caller said, "who in their right mind, would place a WHITE tree out there? Haven't they noticed the dingy, formerly white angel in front of the gate house?" The last caller said that it made the place look like the trailer park we have become accustom to. Their cleaning lady, who has worked in Wedgefield for years, has begun to talk about the rapid deterioration. My advice to all, write the board. I have left this issue alone. It is a matter of taste, and with every other mess that exists here - tastelessness, mismanagement of our association and assets, and failure to follow our governing documents, it is the least of our problems. I did drive over and take a picture for the blog. Comments regarding the statement about my property, follow after the picture.
In regard to my yard being a mess, it stays. I'd suggest that you dare to write the board and actually receive an answer. If you drove by my house, you passed board member McMillin's new burning recreation, and storage area. Please do the fair thing, and complain about him. I just joined the recreation/fire club, because I'm tired of fighting with a board who won't hold their own fellow board members, to our governing documents. Drive by often, and note that board member McMillin, seems to be thumbing his nose at attractiveness, property values, AND our governing documents, and is quietly supported by his fellow board members. Go ahead, and write about me. To my knowledge, I haven't broken any of our governing documents. He has. His is the bigger issue. He was told by fellow board member Cline, during the Wedgefield annual meeting, that there wasn't suppose to be anything left on vacant lots. Some of his stuff has been sitting there for over 6 weeks. I wrote the board twice, with pictures as advised by Cline, and twice have been told that the issue has been turned over to Compliance Chair/Treasurer DeMarchi, and ARC Chair Johnson. I'm still waiting for an answer. Where's your board president, and the rest of the board? It appears to be that they are right at McMillin's side, because he added another utility trailer to the vacant lot, in the last two day! Will I write the board? No, hell will freeze over and the devil dance on it, before I receive a legal, ethical answer. If you write, ask that the entire board be copied, and note special attention to DeMarchi, Johnson, and Cline. Why Cline? She seemed to have the right answer during the annual meeting, but goes along with her cohesive board buddies, as it relates to following and enforcing, our governing documents.
ADDED INFO:
The junk look here is invasive, and grows. Several months ago, I was working on a project for the blog, and for whatever reason, took another resident with pen and paper with me, and drove down every street in Wedgefield. As we drove, I had my sidekick list every street, and note how many trailers, boats, etc. were on each street. Do you know who had the most stuff in their yards? Canal lot owners, particularly Water Amenities Committee and board members. Some had 4 boats and trailers, and one had FIVE. A few of these, don't even own all the boats parked here, there, and everywhere in their yard. I've learned first hand over the years here, that in some cases, our residents are parking non resident friends/family boats, that can't be parked where they live due to their HOA restrictions, yet, certain residents in Wedgefield will allow them here! How can this be allowed, when we have condo residents, who can't park their boats in their yards, due to our restrictions? Some of the boats were old, others have crab traps, pails, blue traps, etc., damaging the look of our association. Why not take a drive and take a look at that?
In the mean time, this stays in my yard.
