Section 5: OPA Board Subject: A Fool's Errand Msg# 1179251
|
||||||
| There is ONLY one reason to change the Decs to match the county requirements. That is to give tye OPA BOD the authority to enforce it. In every other way, the county law is in effect and takes precednce over the OPA decs. The law gives the county the ability to enforce it, and onlyn nthe county for now. So, the real question for those who reply and return any paperwork regarding a change in the decs is: Do you really want the BOD to have that authority? Do you trust them enough to be fair and even handed in enforcing the requirements? | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Stuart. There has not been much activity of late regarding the last board's proposal to send out paperwork to every owner in every section requesting a change in the Declarations of Restrictions related to short-term rentals. As I understand the proposed Declarations of Restrictions changes, they would more or less incorporate Worcester County law regarding short-term rentals into the OPA restrictions. As you are aware, the board cannot unilaterally change the Declarations of Restrictions. They can only be changed on a vote of the lot owners and in each individual section of OPA. Director Frank Daly, the primary proponent of these Restriction changes, said OPA would keep mailing out documents for voting on the Declarations of Restrictions changes until enough votes were obtained to change the Restrictions in each and every section. This is costly and possibly not legal. There is a good chance many sections would never approve the changes. The primary question the Board of Directors should answer, prior to spending tens of thousands of dollars on a wild goose chase that could result in no goose dinner, is why should OPA change its Declarations of Restrictions to match county law when OPA's CPI department could simply report any possible violations to the County for enforcement? The Board of Directors should seriously consider dropping the entire idea of changing the Declarations of Restrictions to match County law with regard to short-term rentals. It is a Fool's Errand, an expensive Fool's Errand. |
