How and When Did This Maintenance Problem Start?
Beginning in 2016 the Board fought with the City for two years trying to get out of maintaining the HOA landscaping. The City eventually issued the HOA violations because the landscaping was not up to an acceptable level of maintenance in accordance with the Conditions of Approval for the development of Bridle Path. Rather than comply, the Board decided to turn it over to the owners to force maintenance it had not performed as required by the City. Then the Board issued CC&R violations to the owners to force the maintenance, followed by fines and then attempted to strip owners of their voting rights at an upcoming HOA election.
The lawsuit was filed seeking performance by the HOA to perform their landscape duties as set forth in the Conditions of Approval for the development of Bridle Path as reiterated by the City in its March 22, 2017 letter. This letter clearly points out maintenance areas and who is responsible, HOA or owner (see the chart on page 2). The letter is posted here in the Downloads Tab. A letter from the HOA is shown as an attachment to the City letter. It’s a bit difficult to read in a few places, but it’s the best the City could provide.
We urge you to Vote YES on the amendment as it will bring Bridle Path into compliance with City requirements and will also resolve so many conflicts within our community.
