re "Let the games begin" I think you are so right. Sadly, that's how this current group of BOD members or our HOA leadership see these actions; a game, a gotcha game.
How can they with a straight face cite us for grass taller than 10" when the common use spaces they are clearly in charge of have already surpassed those standards. We look unkempt everywhere, particularly easements and large drainage ditches. You can already see the number of owners that aren't doing the ditches this year just out of spite. Waiting for Stu's words to take effect if it grows.... I was recently cited for straddling a driveway, half on half off, with a pickup truck. The CPI approved solution was for me to park on the ditch in front of my house... From the safety of my property to the roads edge. Now that makes sense. I built a framed parking area, made changes, paid the $385 and await their approval. Those with boat trailers, jet ski trailers and other Rec vehicles get ready.... Given that Amy Peck has found them changing DRs without vote changes, ARC rules that don't support Maryland environment rules, other actions inconsistent with our history of our community and it's taken this long to make the front page of the Gazette. If you are selling a house in OP, have the presale CPI inspection at a minimum thirty days out to react to the changes. Our landscapers and land survey folks are swamped. This [game- 1500-2000 violations since November] topic is much greater than we know.... |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Take a look at the latest list of CPI violations! bcbf0f3d-68c6-3407-6a96-a831149b2ad1 There are too many "leaf maintenance" violations to count. Strangely, there are only 10 or so trash can violations, yet there are perhaps thousands of those around OP. Trash cans stored in front of homes make this place look like a run-down trailer park. The sudden inspection emphasis, after more than 50 years and with questionable actual DR violation, seems to be lots with leaves in a forest! OPA president Stuart Lakernick and other board members apparently fully support what many see as Draconian, relatively new, rules on leaves, citing fire danger. Yet the board a few years ago passed a Guideline to allow open burning of wood in total violation of the DRs. The next big CPI push appears to be coming after anything over 10-inches high in the area between the ditch and the edge of road paving. Many owners have reflectors on thin aluminum poles to mark their driveway, or along the edge of the road to discourage parking on a lawn the DRs require them to maintain. There are many house signs, electric light posts, etc. in this area. I'd put the number of potential "10-inch" violations at 3000 or more. Let the games begin.
