Kriewald Place

aweome feedback.  the fenceline behind the model currently belongs to the builder.  I have notified the Sivage Homes office that the fence needs to be repaired.

I will talk to the attorney about any possible edits to the CCR but we are still limited in what the residential Board members can do because the builder is still building and still has majority Class A membership status.

well if that is the case and i am sure it is!!  the builder should be 100% of all outline fenceline untill at such time that the neighborhood is handed over 100% to the HOA.  at least that is what DR Horton has done in spring vistas.  i am going to take picture of alot of the fenceline and homes that grass is out of hand.  please let me know where i can email them. 

i do want to say this, although i know its not an easy task to run an HOA as well as get people involved and attend meetings, and i do speak from experience.  As I was president of spring vistas for 2 years and know first hand what your facing, however in all fairness you have decided to step up and make a difference. so i guess your in the hot seat.  i do understand and hope that one day soon i two may get involved and assit or be part of the board.  i would like to see as we have did in spring vistas a christmas parade where people with trucks pull trailers loaded with hay  and people from the neighborhood sing christamas carols and have santa throwing out candy and be at a location afterwards for snacks and cookies as well as pictures.  In my 2 years we manage to get the first phase of my boards plans for a park and had a child park built.  with future hopes of a walking trail and volley ball area by the pool.  so if i may offer any assitance as much as i can i would do my best. good luck. 

well, when it comes to the future events I can say we just got a bit of good news!

The county has accepted the streets and drainage areas in unit 4&5.  We are currently waiting on Commisioner's court to finalize the acceptance... hopefully it will be done in the next few weeks BUT I know government can take FOREVVERRRRRRR.

How does this effect the events?  if we no longer have to pay to keep the drainage (all along Krie trail and the span of Liberty Green and Vandenburg Way)  we will save over $9000 a year!  All because the county will maintain and mow it, which is something we have had to do for the last 5 years.  We will still however be responsible for Unit 1-3 and the drainage behind Shorebird.... explanation follows.

As for the fence along Kriewald and Roads in Unit 1-3... well that is sticky.  See OBRA homes originally built that fence and the roads in Unit 1-3 (Acadian - Sandflat) Well they went bankrupt and bailed out on 7 communities in the area.  In comes Sivage homes.  They purchased the, then, undeveloped land in the HOA.  They did NOT purchase enything else (roads, fences, etc)  Legally they have no responsibility to maintain the fenceline along Kriewald for 2 reasons... #1 OBRA built it and #2 all fences within the HOA are legally within the land purchased by the homeowners and therefore, the property owners' responsibility according to CCRs. I will say that Sivage Homes has

been a true asset when it comes to helping us deal with the county to fix OBRA's bail-out.

They DO however have to maintain the fence behind the model and sales office because it is located on land that is owned by Sivage homes.  I did notfy them of it personally.  The VP of development is going to have it repaired ASAP... usually they are pretty good about getting it done quickly once notified.  I am more mystified that the sales office didnt notify Sivage of the needed repairs.

OH and I LOVE the santa hay ride idea!
