Section 4: General Subject: Parking on OPA Roads Msg# 1225824

I would argue, the road couldn't be built without the ditch, and as the roads require maintenance so do the ditches, i.e., berm management, and such proves responsibility which they have now passed to the membership/owners. And without written guidance, controls, tasks, conditions and standards, the HOA is irresponsible in this task. What one lot owner thinks and what another lot owner thinks can't be imagined.
I suggest you read the DRs. From the DRs you agreed to follow: D. On each lot, the rights-of-way and easement areas reserved by Declarant or dedicated to public utilities purposes shall be maintained continuously by the lot owner but no structures, plantings or other material shall be placed or permitted to remain or other activities undertaken which may damage or interfere with the installation or maintenance of utilities, which may change the direction of flow of drainage channels in the easements, which may obstruct or retard the flow of water through drainage channels in the easements, or which damage or interfere with established slope ratios or create erosion or sliding problems, provided, however that where the existing location of a drainage channel would hinder the orderly development of a lot the drainage channel may be relocated as shown on the recorded plat by drainage arrows, provided such relocation does not cause an encroachment on any other lot in the Section or Subdivision. Improvements within such areas shall also be maintained by the respective lot owner. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Harry, re "So now you agree with me that the roadway is 50’ wide on most side streets and includes the paved area and drainage ditch? All OPA owned property not the lot owner. Lot owners are not responsible to maintain the right of way because it is not on their lot." I would argue, the road couldn't be built without the ditch, and as the roads require maintenance so do the ditches, i.e., berm management, and such proves responsibility which they have now passed to the membership/owners. And without written guidance, controls, tasks, conditions and standards, the HOA is irresponsible in this task. What one lot owner thinks and what another lot owner thinks can't be imagined. HOA is in charge of the ditch, and if they see/catch a lot owner pulling leaves into their property [ditch] they can call them out, but for the most of us, we want them cutting the grass, maintaining the ditch, maintaining it's proper "fall" for effective draining and keeping it clear of debris [for the next guy] including empty lots! I think it's a necessary call for referendum. |
