The police should have a talk with this couple who are making someone with Alzheimer's and/or dementia life more difficult for no legitimate reason.

WATER CANNON = SPRINKLER.

Tell me you process this next point. The person has dementia and should not be alone! DO U GET IT?

If you grasp this my old friend, then that ends the conversation.

I put Pepper on my lawn once and it worked great. Turns out I don't feel comfortable doing that to a Dog. I would turn a WATER CANNON on the little beauty that's violating my property. Taking your dog for a walk is exactly that. It has NOTHING to do with relieving itself. Not the dog's fault, just stupid owners. WATER CANNON - LOL :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Why don’t one of those good neighbors help out and walk the dog for the nice lady with dementia. That would be a win for everyone

Water cannon connected to the irrigation system???? Where do I buy me some. I could install one on each side of the house and get my siding pressure washed every time I sprinkle the grass.

I was thinking more along a squirt gun and not what is used to hose down protestors in Rome.

Getting sprayed by one of these Villages' area irrigation systems can get you very wet very quickly.

Nothing like good dog poop thread. What this number 1, 999?

Probably much higher in the dog poop department. But this is about bad neighbors turning on their sprinkling system when a woman with dementia is walking her dog and she gets too close to their property. So, they try to drench her. Has nothing to do with poop or pee.

Show me on the doll where the mean man hurt you.

Wow what rude people! Glad I live wer I do. Maybe a fall from the wet , and a lawsuit
 
Maybe a lawsuit is in order. A fall would be a disaster. If you show intent to either the dog or the person.

A dog has to go immediately. Not hold to a dog park. If this is what I am to expect coming to villages I’m already sorry to be going there. Dogs go outside. They like to be walked. They don’t do whatever on demand. What exactly do you want. Dogs and owners to walk in the middle of the road.

Only if you continue to stand there. Most folks would move quickly out of the zone.

agjaret@aol.com 10-12-2021 05:27 AM

What is the easement? 5’10’ from edge of road. Thank you.

MDLNB 10-12-2021 05:29 AM

Let's put this to a rest.
If the sprinkler comes on and soaks that lady IN-IN-IN the street, that's just wrong.
If the sprinkler comes on and soaks someone that is in the guy's yard, then no fault-no foul.
Come on folks. Someone in the neighborhood should accompany the lady when she is walking her dog so that she doesn't harm herself. I know that most neighborhoods in the Villages have residents that take care of each other.

. Again the easement is for the town and the utility companies. Not for public access. Know what your posting. Before you know it people will be parking their cars on your lawn thinking they have a right.

joelfmi 10-12-2021 05:53 AM

This is why a lot of people will not buy their. that's a big negative

You spend a lot of money for a home and have to be miserable. For man whom live near a waterfall will be destined to drown in a glass of water.

BlueStarAirlines 10-12-2021 06:01 AM

I think we can combine the "Is the Villages too big" and this one and make it required reading before anyone is allowed to move into the Villages. It might help change some minds about the move!

If anyone knows what street the OP lives on, please perform a public service and post it so the public knows where to never move to. Sounds like a bunch of gossipy old ladies with nothing better to do than create drama......

If it isn't every time then you have a$$h&&&s which gets handled differently - typically confrontation.

In order to prove this you'll need videos with time and date stamps over several days. Yes it's a lot of work, and people like this count on the fact that no one (especially here) will bother - however Ring has made this so very easy. You just need a Ring cam (any wifi motion activated cam will do) and it needs to be set up to trigger on that property and it's movement. one key factor to note is Ring is highly admissible where some cheap off brand may not be. Call it name notoriety

All this about where are the sprinklers pointing is BS nitpick junk, water in the road etc has ZERO bearing on this. You need to establish if this is purposeful.

I much prefer confrontation first, it might settle the reasoning portion. Also you know what you are dealing with and then it's easier to deal with.

Agree with these measures! Not to mention, no one OWNS the first 3' of their property. It is easement and belongs to the county. People do NOT have the right to keep you or your pet off of the 3' easement. Respectfully pick up you pet's s%^t of course. There are also watering hours here in TV. During the day, after 7:00 AM you are not supposed to water so there is that avenue for complaint as well.

Sorry, but you are dead wrong.

What is an Easement? Everything You Need to Know | Quicken Loans

"A property easement is a legal situation in which the title to a specific piece land remains with the landowner, but another person or organization is given the right to use that land for a distinct purpose. For example, a utility company may have an easement that allows them access to an electrical pole on your property."

If neighbors just kept their pets off of other people's property, there wouldn't be an issue. As mentioned previously, someone should obviously reach out and try to help this lady - if she's suffering from dementia.

Not to get into an argument but if you look at your copy of the property plat, you will see that your actual property ends way short of the road. If you see a marker nail/peg in your drive (villa owners) that is where your property ends. On the other hand, you are responsible for maintaining the property all the way to the road.

In response to the poster that stated that you are not supposed to water your lawn after 7am, I believe that is just a suggestion, NOT a rule. Not sure, so I may be corrected. They also suggest watering days of the week, but no one adheres to it. I am not sure that any of that can be enforced, but again I may be corrected.

Easements for utilities is another issue. You can have an easement ON your property or through your property. The issue in this case is whether or not you have any authority to or requirement for maintenance on your front area near the road. I don't know about your neighborhood, but in mine we have sprinkler heads right at the edge of the street.

Unfortunately, that happens everywhere, there’s always a bad apple in ever subdivision! Even here where we live.

Not everyone is courteous about that either and it's a shame. Walk your dog around your own yard, then take it for a friendly stroll to meet the neighbors.

So this is exactly what we have always done and probably 95 times out of 100 it works like a charm, but dogs will be dogs and every so often they'll decide to go after they've left our yard during a walk around the neighborhood. We ALWAYS bring bags and pick up after them. It's a shame some people can't understand that these are animals that along with their owners need regular exercise. We do our best but a dog can start going before an owner has a chance to stop them and I've learned the hard way, once things start coming out they keep coming out even as you drag them into the road. I appreciate a perfect lawn as much as anyone, but just a tiny bit of 'live and let live' would go a long way in these situations. It's a shame there aren't designated 'Dog Friendly' or for that matter just 'Friendly' neighborhoods for people like us who'll 'within reason' go along to get along with our neighbors.

There is more to this story…
 
Notice how people are made out to be villains based on someone else’s weaknesses. The lady with dementia…with a small dog…targeted by a bad neighbor…lah dee dah. Yep, welcome to cancel culture. This person who posted should be a talking head for MSM.

Let’s put another spin on this one, just for fun. Generous neighbor spends his time and pays higher water bills so his sprinklers can be felt by his neighbors while they daily walking their dogs in the hot afternoon sun.

mike234 10-12-2021 02:30 PM

you know, it's water. he could put something a lot more harmful on HIS LAWN if you don't understand.

charlieo1126@gmail.com 10-12-2021 03:34 PM

The family dog in Boston is 15 years old and just like most city dogs he goes on the concrete , he also still walks long distances although slower in the hot summer and cold winter never a problem with his paws just like all the other dogs we know and he’s never had a sweater on in winter,he acclimates him self just like people here should do instead of whining about how hot it is , I’m still walking ,”biking and some running at 82 in the afternoon EVERY DAYand shutting the AC off when I sleep and very rarely putting heat on and never when going to bed makes living here much more pleasant and the environment easier to handle

Wow! Didn’t realize my post would spark such passion.
My error for stating the woman has dementia. She is just old, like ALL of us, and a bit frail. Interesting people picked up on that instead of the main topic. This neighbor shoots his sprinklers on every dog walker that strolls by his house. Stalked was another term that was misinterpreted. I guess when someone sits in their garage and watches for dog walkers or people parking too close to his lawn, yes that’s really weird. Get a life and be a neighbor. We live in a great hood:)

Yeah, sounds like a great hood. Again, why don’t people just walk on the opposite side of the street if “shooting his sprinklers on every dog walker” actually occurs? One would think if it happens constantly, walkers would have learned how to avoid this by now. And why add the dementia embellishment? Too much drama on Gonzalez.

charlieo1126@gmail.com 10-12-2021 08:08 PM

I would be interested in why you waited this long to tell us that the woman did not have dementia, when much of the posting and sympathy was because of this . maybe alll the neighbors aren’t feeling stalked or sad anymore either

I guess they missed the point. We love our hood. Just have a bad apple. Thanks for all your feedback. I don’t think I will venture into posting again. Thought it would be more kind and helpful.

charlieo1126@gmail.com 10-12-2021 08:51 PM

Most of the sympathy was because of the spraying of a woman with dementia and as far as elderly I’m elderly I guess 82 and I’ve never let a dog go on someone’s lawn and many people were kind to you and very sympathetic . Go Dodgers

Sorry about the bad feedback. I hope you can resolve this problem of the crappy neighbors.

Agree! Glad to see someone recognizes plotted surveyed lot lines as determing ownership. So many trolls commenting here... hardly worth the bother.
