Settlers Crossing HOA

I live on another street and have experienced the same problems as the original poster.  My sympathies - I can totally relate!

I've tried all the same methods and taken all the same actions.  The Sheriff's department can only so much.  Their hands are tied.  We've also considered placing our house on the market since the homeowner does not care about surrounding neighbors. 

I was really hoping that the HOA would address this issue at the meeting and make amendments to the covenants, as discussed in earlier posts. 

Until these issues directly affect the current HOA board members, this will continue.  It's really a shame that a few bad neighbors can spoil it for everyone.  My prediction is that this annoying behavior will ultimately result in depreciating home values in our neighborhood.  I'm sure none of us want that!

The thing is............

*We have an Edmond address but we are not in the city limits (or anyone's). 

*Our HOA covenants do not cover animal laws and are vague when it comes to other things. 

*We must go by OK County laws.  So, basically if you wanted a whole petting zoo, animal refuge, or farm on our small lots..........you could!!!!!!

*The Sheriff's Department will respond to a call.  They can talk to them....if they answer the door.  They can take a formal or written complaint but it's like a slap on the wrist, at best, to the annoying neighbor.

The original poster is dealing with one dog.  My annoying neighbor has a dog for each family member living in that household! 

Call some Korean's...they will take care of the dog problem.

Sweet Goobly-Gosh! That was tacky Ziff. I was thinking more the old "Prestone" burger over the fence.
