Homeowners meeting 7/28/08

I have decided to devote this blog to the owners of town homes in Caldwell Station. There are 155 townhouses in the development and it is important that we have a voice on the new HOA board.

At the meeting last night, six nominees submitted their name to be elected on to the 5 member board, only one of the candidates is a town home owner. I would like to see at least 2 of these board members be town home owners. We pay three (3) times what the single family home owners pay in the way of HOA fees and we have the most to lose if things are not handled correctly. The reason our fees are so much more is because our fees pay for maintenance to the exterior of our homes, insurance for any damage to the exterior and also for the maintaining of the irrigation system and landscaping around our homes. Some of our fees also go to the pool and common areas upkeep. I will ask the "Communication Committee" chairperson for the names of the nominees and also their contact information so that any questions that you may have can be submitted to them.

TO ALL CALDWELL STATION HOMEOWNERS OF TOWNHOMES

MY NAME IS JOE DOUGHERTY AND LIKE YOURSELVES, MY WIFE NANCY AND I ARE OWNERS OF A CALDWELL STATION TOWNHOME. I AM ALSO ON THE HOA LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE.

YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, D.R.HORTON INTENDS TO TURN OVER THE HOA TO US HOMEOWNERS AND WE TOWNHOME OWNERS NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A VOICE IN THE DECISION TO ACCEPT THE HOA FROM HORTON BEFORE ALL ISSUES ARE RESOLVED.

ON MONDAY, JULY 28, AT 7:00 PM, THERE WILL BE A MEETING AT THE POOL WITH MATT PRYOR, WHO WORKS FOR HENDERSON PROPERTIES, THE COMPANY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE INTEREST OF US HOME OWNERS. THIS MEETING WAS SCHEDULED SO THAT THE PRESENT HOA BOARD, WHICH BY THE WAY, CONSISTS OF THREE EMPLOYEES OF D.R.HORTON, CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE, THE HOMEOWNERS MAY HAVE BEFORE THE BOARD IS TURNED OVER. THIS MEETING WITH THE BOARD MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN SINCE THE LAST COMMUNICATION THAT WAS SENT OUT, STATED THAT THE BOARD WOULD NOT BE AT THE MEETING, ONLY MATT PRYOR AND HE WILL ONLY ADDRESS QUESTIONS THAT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED TO HIM PREVIOUSLY BY THE “COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE”.

IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE RESPONSE TO PROBLEMS THAT THE HOMEOWNERS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS RECEIVE FROM BOTH HENDERSON PROPERTIES AND D.R.HORTON , THEN I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE ATTEND THIS MEETING SO THAT WE, TOWNHOME OWNERS, ARE NOT FORCED INTO ACCEPTING ANYTHING THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A DECISION IN MAKING. AT THIS MEETING THEY WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FROM HOMEOWNERS TO FILL THE NEW FIVE MEMBER HOA BOARD.

I CAN BE CONTACTED AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE OR ON MY CELL PHONE, WHICH IS ALSO ABOVE.
