To understand why homeowners should vote NO on the upcoming CC&R's vote, we offer the following:

✓ RETURN OVERSIGHT TO OUR ELECTED BOARD - OVERSIGHT SHOULD ALWAYS STAY WITH BOARD / HOMEOWNERS
✓ REQUIRE DEVELOPER TO PAY ARCHITECTURAL FEES LIKE ALL OTHER BUILDERS
✓ REQUIRE ALL NEW LOTS TO PAY SAME ASSESSMENTS AS ALL OTHER HOMEOWNERS
✓ STOP ALLOWING DEVELOPER 1 VOTE FOR EACH LOT (30+) – TOO MUCH POWER FOR NON-HOMEOWNER

Click here to see the CC&R's filed 5/7/2020 where the board gave it's oversight power to the Declarant. Prepare to be shocked. Notice where they added: "EXCEPTION FOR THE DECLARANT".

In other words, in 2007 the board limited the Declarant's power by indicating "no exception for the Declarant", however, in 2020 the board accepted the offer from the declarant, and told the homeowners to vote for it. This was done during the COVID debacle, and most homeowners probably didn't realize what they were voting for.

As some of you may remember, the desire to have a new clubhouse was at fever pitch - before the construction contract was signed, the cost for the clubhouse increased by a reported $1,000,000 due primarily to increased materials expense. Previous to the increase, the Developer offered $400,000.00 (the value of two "donated" lots). When the developer was approached by the board to increase their share due to the increased construction bid, the developer refused. Please note: 1. Most Developers pay for all "facilities" at developments like ours - it's redicluos for a developer to ask homeowners to pay for something he should have paid for. 2. When the developer refused to pay the increased costs, the HOA at that time should have cancelled the agreement. We have all now seen the outcome of this "deal" with assessment (and from what I hear, another is on the way) and increased monthly fees. If you haven't been involved in this up to this point, consider attending a finance committee meeting and asking questions. This is one reason why the new lots should have to pay the same assessment fees that all HOA members were required to pay ) See Tom Blasdell's proposed amendment (link will be provided).

This is wrong on so many levels. Why would our Board of Directors intentionally support a change to the CC&R's that gave it's oversight power to the declarant? Now, as the CC&R's are written, the board of directors has absolutely no control over the declarant in their Parade of Homes activities, and has released the declarant from paying ARC fees (which is income to the HOA) like all other builders! This is a large sum of money that should have gone to the HOA, but thanks to the board (signed by Todd Clement and Carolyn Jentzer) Pure Style Construction (The "Declarant") owned by Kason Traveller will not have to pay the fees described. I think we need some answers, and this needs to be fixed. No legitimate board of directors would ever vote to relinquish it's oversight authority to a builder on HOA property, and waive fees all other builders are required to pay. This could be as much as $100,000 that should be in the HOA account, but because of the strong friendships that exist, we don't have those funds. Does anyone on the board know what acting as a fiduciary means? Are you all so afraid to vote against the developer? Hopefully, things will start to change soon.
