*The growth on vacant lots is knee high. You don't have to drive by the one next to me, take a ride down John Green, and look there. In my case, I've weed wacked the over growth that is invading my flower beds, and got my reliable weed killer out, to try and stop the invasion. Grounds Chair, McMillin, Better Homes and Gardens, won't be coming for your advice. You purchased 30 small flags for the holidays. Set them in one of these lots, and see if they are even noticed.
Take a ride on each of the canal lot roads, and count the boats and trailers in each yard. Last time I did, one lot had 5 boats, and if you ever checked, some of the boats are not even registered to the lot owner. They are allowing family and friends, who aren't allowed to park their boats in their associations, to park in ours. Months ago, during a board meeting, Legal/Compliance Chair/Vice President, Garrison, stated that there weren't suppose to be more than two, and the board was going to have to start dealing with the problem. When would that be? For those that only have two, take look at the old rugs, pails, and debris sitting around, like a derelict bait shop. You might notice this on John Green.
During the last Annual Meeting, Secretary, Cline said there wasn't suppose to be anything stored on vacant lots. At a later meeting, Legal/Compliance Chair/Vice President Garrison began to talk about ADJACENT lot situations - the owner has a lot with a home on it, and owns the lot next to it. He felt they might have to take a look at that. Maybe, his hand picked Compliance Committee will come up with a solution that will benefit Garrison, and McMillin, who own vacant lots adjacent to their home. A review of our covenants' language does not parse words to include ADJACENT situations. In the mean time, we are left with the following on vacant lots, adjacent to the owners home, with no action from the board.
YES, WELCOME TO FARMVILLE USA
THE TRACTOR IS BACK AND HAS BEEN FOR AWHILE
Board Member, McMillin, has now moved all the crap pictured here, to the back of his ADJACENT LOT, and added salvaged dock drums, from the mess that some of your Water Amenities Committee pulled from the river, onto our landing. The story McMillin told about how the debris got to the landing, is as credible as the one he told about the silver car going 60-70 miles an hour near the gate house, or the one about he and President Walton, hiding in a closet, listening to a former president asking the office staff to erase portions of an official meeting tape.
When you drive in and out of the association, look past the flowers, and ask yourself, how this board had money to spend on fountains, many expensive benches, legal fees and gates for bulk storage of soil and mulch, and left us with this two year mess?
BOARD, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ACTION, AND CLEAN THIS MESS UP?
