When we moved in our next door neighbor, also new, had MANY(upwards of 20) lawn ornaments. They are gone now.

But this isn't just dead grass; it's weeds and just bare, lots of bare, areas with sand and dirt. It's like don't these folks see this!

How do I find out who the CDD representative is for Hemingway.

The Village Voice which was part of your Daily Sun one day last week or this week has a list of all of the CDD representatives.

Well if the landscaping was not approved by the ARC review board then she could be made to take it all out I cannot believe that a landscaper would allow someone to put that many trees in a Villa is there not a rule as to how many plants and trees you can plant in the Villa's. I would be calling someone that is crazy. As far as the lawn if you call and complain and they find it an issue and the homeowner ignores it TV will send someone to clean it up after so long and then just send the homeowner a nice little bill for doing it.

As previously posted deed compliance will address landscaping, lawn ornament issues,excessive weeds, dead shrubs, etc. Make sure you have the house number when calling. Although you might think that Community Watch is "watching" they usually will not do anything unless the violation is brought to their attention. FYI - south of 466, no fines can be levied against the home owners for deed compliance violations. It is my understanding after speaking with Deed compliance, they will have the authority to levy fines Jan.1, 2011.(which differs north of 466) My neighborhood had problems with seasonal residents whose attitudes seem to be out of sight out of mind.

I found the Village Voice. The reps in Hemmingway are Susan Bieberfeld and Gene Carpenter. PM me for the telephone numbers or look in the telephone book. I do not like to post telephone numbers on any web site..

Does this mean that we won't be able to put out all our gnomes and pink flamingos?

Yes, it is really bad. She is a widow from Washington State. We tried to tell her about magnolias but she doesn't want to listen. She bought all herself or got from people that were removing standard TV landscaping. She did it all herself. And I know as a fact no ARC permission.
Yes, and guess which way those magnolia leaves blow???

We have one magnolia tree from the foundation planting that came with our house and I had never been around magnolia trees. The flowers begin to brown as soon as they bloom and they just are never pretty.

If you call the sales office and ask for the deed restriction department and tell them about the over planting, they will act on it and they will never tell her who called. Now she may guess....................

Theoretically they are supposed to be driving the steets and checking for just such violations and they do...usually.

[otherbruddaDarrell]

Can you imagine how much foundation cracking and damage to the road the roots will cause.............

Just a little correction if you're looking for CDD folks: Gene Carpenter and I (Susan Bieberfeld) do not represent the CDD. We are VHA reps for Hemingway. Different groups, different areas of responsibility. Feel free to call us, though, if you're actually looking for VHA reps.
