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 

A link to the original document is here.

To aid in identification  and to provide more information specifically about the breed of dogs(banned  that are banned from Harpers Mill, we have provided the links below:

Police Blotter - 1 Incident

On March 8th police were called after a homeowner witnessed two kids smearing dog poop all over the front of the community mailboxes on Shady Pond Dr, these are the same kids believed to be responsible for leaving dog poop on cars in the neighborhood, reported in an earlier story on this blog, when the homeowner who called the police, went to get the address of the home where the kids lived their father Homoer Plummer of 745 Waterfall Way came out and called the other homeownr a child molester, since he was trying to get their address to give to the Sheriffs Depatment, than the kids involded admitted to smearing the dog poop on the mailboxes, so Mr. Plummer went to clean the mailboxes before the police arrived,  the other  homeowner was trying to video Mr. Plummer removing the dog poop, when suddenly Mr. Plummer charged at the other homeowner and was making verbal threats as captuted on video.

Despite Mr. Plummer aggresively charging the other homeowner and Mr. Plummer being caught on video verbally threatning the other homeowner, Mr. Plummer pressed charges on the first homeowner for aledgiatly threatning him.

HOA Inside our Homes?

A homeowner has just informed us that he has had a long standing dispute with the HOA, over some electrical work that was done at his home. The homeowner states he had an email from the York County building inspector that his home meet all building code requirements, and he paid for a licensed inspection of the specific items of concern to the HOA.

The homeowner was informed today that the Board of Directors is still not satisfied, they want a full inspection done inside his home, which he is adamantly against. He states they have no legal right to inspect anything on the inside of his home, leaving him no choice but to file suit against the HOA.

This is important because it will set a precedent allowing the HOA to enter the home of any homeowner to do an inspection if they want to. they told the homeowner they believe they have that right under the guise of safety.

Of coarse this means that our monthly HOA fees will go to an attorney to represent the HOA, in this matter, and if the homeowner wins he will ask the court to have the HOA pay all of his legal fees as well.

But the homeowner believes the fight is well worth it to stop the HOA from entering our homes at anytime, for any reason.

We will update you as soon as we hear more.
