My CDD can beat up your HOA!

I believe you are correct. However, I don't think the historic side (east of 441) is in a CDD. Don't know whether there is an HOA there. However, this particular issue is not on the old side from the photo of the home.

You are "Totally" correct.

Aren't the residents in the townhomes @ Glenbrook, behind Sapnish Springs and the residents behind the gates of Hickory Hill Hammock governed by the rules of an HOA?

Here is a link to our deed restrictions and the chart delineating the fines for violations in CDD 7.

I did find reference to a HOA incorporated for Hickory Hill Hammock. Could not find one for Glenbrook yet.

I wonder if this means that those communities are not part of a CDD? It would seem that would not be a workable arrangement.

I was just informed of yet another legal HOA in The Villages in the Villas de Laguna. I am learning a lot today. Anybody know of anymore?

incorporated into a fountain setting, holy water, and LED lighting would allow the couple to enjoy what is important to them. restrictions or not, some people obviously have nothing better to do with God given time here on Earth. Instead of pictures and complaints, go out and enjoy your day.....one day you won't wake up, and your complaints are meaningless.....and you will be dead a long time!

According to property records it's on Day Lily Run in the villages of Duval (South of 466). He moved in when the area was built and being he bought from The Villages he would have gotten a copy of the deed restrictions. The house is not listed under the priest name but under Charles Mione's since 2007. Apparently he didn't read the deed restrictions or just feels he doesn't have to follow them.

Everything West of 441 are CDDs. Those are the only governing bodies I know of.
If you are referring to the Villages Homeowner Association. That is little more than a club. It is not a legal HOA. It has no authority.

correction: the area of lake county (Lady Lake) that is west of Rt. 441 does not have CDD's but the same quality of life in TV.

This does look like it has nothing to do with the religious beliefs of this couple. They would have got the same result if it had been a statue of Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, George Clooney, George Patton, the Venus de Milo, or Harold Schwartz! http://thevillagesdailyphoto.blogspo...-schwartz.html

Just so that I understand it, he moves into the Villages, agrees (in writing) to the deed restrictions and then thinks he has a moral commitment to contest one he doesn't like.

Like Baretta said, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!"

Rules are rules. We have a neighbor that has their front porch covered with all kinds of statues, silk plants, and things not everyone likes. I see the décor when I walk to the side of the villa to get to the back yard. This is how the neighbor solved the issue. They can still enjoy their individual taste and stay within the guidelines of the community.

I believe it's another case of entitlement and has nothing to do with religion.
As mentioned we signed off on the deed restrictions and rules are rules. To whine about it's removal after knowingly violating the restriction is entitlement. Some people worship Mickey Mouse should they be allowed to display a MM in their front yard, ad infinitum.

Do you know if there are similar deed restrictions in that area of The Villages in Lake County?

Complainer has incredible vision or telescopic lenses. Imagine being able to see a 2' statue from 3 miles away! Are there any ordinances about having a Hubbel telescope in the village? Better keep your blinds closed!
