Anonymous Complaints
 
Are anonymous complaints serving the best interest of Village residents?

Not when one person submits 50+ complaints. This becomes selective enforcement.
I say sign your name and you must live in the District where the complaint is filed.

If I have a violation and someone complains, anonymous or not, I will fix it. Period. Why not just follow the rules?

NEITHER -
Community Watch should enforce the rules and take residents out of it

How would that eliminate complaints? There is no way Comminity Watch could enforce all of the rules. There are probably at least 20 violations on my street alone.

That did not work back in 2005.

I recall a neighbor asking my father to complain about the back yard bushes of the home owners across the street even though we cannot even see those bushes unless we are in those houses or in their back yards.

Worth noting that when District 5 eliminated Anonymous complaints, total number of complaints went down.
Maybe the trolls were eliminated……

I do not believe that enforcing these matters is the mission of community watch. I thought it was to provide a presence and patrol in order to keep us safe. Adding extra duties would probably mean needing more employees. So far I’ve been very happy with the watch. I was stopped at 2am by the watch while outside waiting for the groome van and was happy for encounter.

Agree, but if the violations are 10/15/20 years old - how much of a violation was it?
One of the violations was the driveway was INCHES too wide.

you’re house is pink, your birdcage is over the setback, yup.
BUT, the seller should be liable for previous improvement not in compliance with ARC.

Neither. People complaining should be identified to Community Standards, but their identifying information should be confidential, and not available to the homeowner of the house being complained about.

In this way, there can be a standard of accountability imposed on the people making the complaints in addition to the people being complained about.

If you have to live in the same CDD as the property you're complaining about, that means Community Standards has to know who you are. I think this should always be the case.

Or folks can stop complying and feel empowered to trash the neighborhood. Won't matter until it's time to sell your house.

JoMar 05-13-2023 03:16 PM

Question? Why hasn't anyone taken photo's of the 'trolls" they claim to have seen?

Were the violations eliminated or do they still exist?
