To Clear Up Some Confusion

As noted in a couple of comments, there has been some confusion in regards to the HOA caring for the grass park strip and sidewalks adjacent to our common area. I have received the following correspondence from the city in regards to the HOA's responsiblity regarding the grass and sidewalk.

The city ordinance indicates that the sidewalk and park strip adjacent to a lot are the responsibility of the homeowners, since the HOA is taking the responsibility for the area of the lots on 1300 N the park strip would also fall into this responsibility. This would mean multiple sides on corner lots or two sided lots.

Hope this helps.

In the city meeting where Phase 3 was accepted, the City had 'no legal opinion'. Why do they suddenly have one now on the HOA?

If the city is going to dictate what the HOA is over and what they are not. Let the City pay the fees.

Mr Van Zant is way off base here. First of all he has no legal authority to tell us what the HOA is or is not responsible for. The City has absolutely no prerogative in our CCR nor the HOA. In the first paragraph of his response, he plainly says the "HOMEOWNERS" are responsible, that does not mean the HOA. The HOA does not have responsibility for my park strip, why would they have any for any other homeowner, including the ones along 1300 North?

Come on HOA Board do not perpetuate this farce any longer. The abutting property owners are supposed to maintain the park strip and clean the snow from the sidewalks. That includes those who happen to live along 1300 North regardless of the number of "frontages" that they have.
