Arrest Made in Harpers Mill

According to a York County Sheriff's Department report a 19 y/o female who was visiting Harpers Mill, met a 17 y/o black male who is stayimg with a relative on Water Fall Way for the summer, the female asked the teen boy if he knew where she could buy some marijuana, he told her to wait by the pool for him. A few minutes later he returned to her and said it was ok to come with him, he brought her to 1446 Harpers Inlet Dr while at the home she purchased marijuana from a white male at this residence.

After buying the marijuana she stayed at the residence and used the drugs with several subjects. One of which was a 16 year old male whom she and the others at the home pressured into trying the marijuana with them.

Later that evening the parent of the 16 y/o contacted the Sheriff's Department about the incident. The female was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, she is currently being held at the Moss Justice Center, the court denied her bond on the charge, she faces 3 years in prison and up to a $3, 000 fine, her next court date is in October.

Blog Update!

Yes we are still here, its been quiet recently, but we do have a few updates for you:

1) The request to paimt phase 1 doors like phase 2 was denied, homeowner has asked for an appeal.

2) The pool is open once again, so far no complaints have been recieved.

3) An Audio/Video tape from the patrol car of a York County Sheriffs Deputy was released showing Mr. Plummer from Waterfall Way who pressed charges on Mr. Beatson from Harpers Inlet Dr telling police he was upset with Mr. Beatsom for complaining to the HOA about his Pitbull. We had been told 4 seperate homeowners complained about this dog prior to this incident whether Mr. Beatson was one of them is unknown, but Mr. Pllummer clearly was blaming him for the complaints while deciding whether or not to press charges, as of now the case is going to a jury trial, and the dog remains as Mr. Plummer has told the HOA the dog is a therapy dog for his son, which if true would exempt him from the HOA rules banning  Pitbulls.

ARC Request for Painting Front Doors in Phase 1

A homeowner sent the following ARC request to Kuester today for his home and is also aaking to allow this option for other Phase 1 homeowners:

I am requesting to be able to paint my front door black, leavig  frame white exactly the same as phase 2 homes, attached is my completed ARC request form. I am also asking the HOA to allow all pbase 1 homeowners to paint their front doors if they desire to match phase 2. Phase 2 has several different color doors, black, white, dark brown, dark blue, dark burgandy, and dark green. This has less of an impact in phase 1 as the front doors are not directly visible from the street, as they do in phase 2, but this ties the phases together making it look more like one neighborbood.

Well update you as soon as the homeowner recieves and answer,

Harpers Mill Animal Regulations!

This is a reminder to all homeowners, we know there has been some controversy and confusion about certain breeds of dogs that are not allowed in Harpers Mill, so for clarification Section 11 of the CCR's states the following breed of dogs are not allowed to be kept at any residence in Harpers Mill, this includes: Pitbulls, American Staffordshire's, Terrier's, and Rottweilers.

All homeowners agreed to abide by these rules when they purchased their home, and if you are a renter it was the responsibility of the homeowner to make you aware of the rules of the community when you signed your rental agreement.

It was mentioned in the Community Newsletter published last week by Kuester Management, that they are in the process of investigating several complaints about dogs of the above breeds residing in the neighborhood.

Kuester is asking anyone who would like to register a complaint about these type of dogs living in the community to please email them as much information as possible about the animal to: support@kuester.com
