Lchrn-I have a phone call in to him for an update on his status and will follow up.
Follow-up: After several phone tags, I finally got a chance to catch up with Bb. He confirmed that SLohA requested the pre-suit mediation and that he will be attending with his attorney in mid-July.
SLohA whines about lawsuits, but is apparently planning to launch one over a carport that was:
...reportedly previously approved
...already installed
...reasonably sited on an irregular pie-shaped corner
...Polk-county permitted and
...quite attractive
Additionally, three of Bb's neighbors wrote letters to the BOD to say how attractive the carport was and that it added to the desirability of the property and neighborhood. BOD never read any of this correspondence to Members at a board meeting.
So, in addition to openly and brazenly provoking lawsuits by its actions, BOD
1. willfully and maliciously continues to slander hundreds of owner's titles, and refuses to acknowledge or even seriously investigate the expiration of covenants
2. refuses to address the breach of covenants against commercial activity on the property and, then invites outside agents to come in and set up their business inside S-bag!
3. harasses owners directly and through recruited agents to the point where they now have to reserve a day every month to spend in a courtroom
4. is instigating a lawsuit over a non-problem! Only disturbed individuals in MANBOD see this carport as a problem. But, Everyone will pay unnecessary and wasteful legal fees.
Why is MANBOD doing this? I dunno--maybe because they can--they have access to the cookie jar and they want to be darn sure that the Control and Compliance Message gets jammed down the owners' throats--MANBOD controls the money and "they will spend every penny in Reserves to get control back-- it's for the good of the community!" The Intimidation Factor is speaking loud and clear--if you go against what MANBOD says, they will use their questionable authority and harass and fight Owners. It really doesn't matter if SLohA wins or loses--the Intimidation Factor is what will ultimately get what MANBOD wants--unquestioned obedience and control. Or maybe owners will give them the boot.
And the next question is--what is so important to MANBOD that it is willing to spend ALL the money and be regarded as the most reckless, hostile, expensive, inept and despicable management body ever in SLR history? What is MANBOD protecting?

A group started a Petition in April but unfortunately, by that time, most people had left the park. The Petition was initiated by Bb Lckrn, with the assistance of his attorney. (As you recall, Bb Lckrn has an irregular and oversized corner lot with insufficient frontage on streetside to park cars. His home was designed with a side driveway. A carport would normally go over a driveway, and Polk County agreed and issued a permit. But this was a problem for BOD who ordered him to remove it. BOD is taking him to mediation in mid-July in anticipation of bringing another expensive lawsuit for the owners to finance.)
The Lckrn Petition proposes that several Rules changes be on the next ballot providing that many "troublesome" architectural issues in S-bag be deferred to Polk County Building Division. It is a simple petition; it simply sets aside and "vacates" nine (9) previously-adopted (maybe), poorly-written, and unreasonable restraints on using your own property and instead, requires owners to build in accordance with current Polk County Codes.
If passed, this would eliminate the long-standing practice of selective enforcement by power-hungry MANBOD and stop the habitual disputes and lawsuits caused by MANBOD. Such passage might have a nullifying effect on the lawsuits now filed or about to be filed. There is no time deadline on getting the required signatures needed to bring this to a meeting, discussed and getting agreed-upon language on the ballot for next Feb. You need 20% of parcel owners to sign the petition--that is 156 signatures.
According to what BOD "says" (Prez Peet Brdun made several statements along these lines) they would be "happy" to see such a rule. Despite the extreme dissatisfaction voiced about the rules by owners in March, there has been no discussion about organizing a committee or calling a member meeting to discuss needed changes or supporting those who are trying to do something. BOD apparently would rather take owners to mediation and S u e them and spend every last cent in Reserves to tame the unruly masses than actually do what the owners expect them to do.
Owners are NOTHING to these people except a necessary nuisance that provides income.
