And now it is not, so........ you can draw your own conclusion. What I don't understand is we have somewhat set our standards over the last 20 years. The VCDD has been allowing For Sale and For Rent signs but they have also been forcing residents to remove "Don't Poop On My Lawn" or " Curb your Dog" signs all along. If a complaint is received they have gone to homes that had had some construction and is now completed and told the owner to remove the sign.

Now all of a sudden we are not allowed to go back to that. WHY???? Is it because it is just a way for VCDD to once again try and intimidate us into voting the way they want you to vote, for the Developer. I think that what the AAC and the Districts are doing right now is absolutely the best thing for the people of TV. They are not "Drinking the Kool-Aide" that is being spooned fed down their throats by the VCDD staff and they are making up their own mind. Don't get me wrong What the Developer has created is great, but he took all of the advantages of creating the VCDD Districts and made a lot of money from them, us and now he has to accept the other side of our self governing, as it should be.

What the Daily "My Name is Morse and I Approve This Message" Sun did not print is the 2nd
message that Ms. Parr delivered. And in part it was........"What are you all going to do when I am not here anymore to deal with these problems. My children are working in the business some but we won't be around forever so what are you going to do when we're gone?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME. What a slap in the face to all of those who serve on the AAC and the District Boards. I bet they didn't realize that they didn't have the brains to figure all of this out. Well, they do and by voting how they have they are showing that we can govern ourselves.
Nothing has changed..YET. Everything is STILL in discussion mode. CDD's 2 and 3 both decided at yesterdays meetings NOT to vote on this issue at this time. They will wait and review the developers WRITTEN proposal and possibly VOTE at the next monthly meeting. Until then..everything is the same. Deed restrictions are COMPLAINT driven....it hasn't changed. The deveoper has proposed allowing 24x24 inch signs outside the home. Let's wait and see what happens after the CDD boards receive and review the WRITTEN proposal.
Each of the 5 CDD's are independent....they may not all vote the same...so we may end up with different restrictions in different CDD's.


BTW, at yesterdays meeting, Gail Lazenby, stated that if the vote was held now, he would vote to ENFORCE the NO SIGNS restriction. As it stands, the vote has been posponed until at least next month.
