The For Sale Yard Issue is obviously no small issue. Especially for homeowners that want to put up for sale by owner signs and, of course, MLS Realtors who are in competition for resales with the Developer's Real Estate Offices.

First there is the issue of personal freedom vs. the good or betterment of the Community as a whole. This has, and always will, be debated among reasonable people. The question being-----where do you draw the line? That is the question. To me the question can only be answered case by case and issue by issue. It seems that a precedent has been set over the years to allow such yard signs in CDD'S 1-5. That being the case, those that want NO yard signs should have to present an outstanding case as to why they should no longer be allowed. That seems to me to be reasonable and proper. Have they done so????

Since I live south of 466 and in District 9, I don't have a dog in this hunt. But that is just my opinion on what seems to be an important issue to many residents in CDD'S 1-5.
