That likely is the kind of person that should be avoided at all costs. Sounds like someone who would file a lawsuit or pull a knife. I was initially thinking to try to have done sort of arbitration, but that doesn't seem feasible or possible. I am sorry this happened to you and others.

This person's actions make me wonder if he/she has a mental imbalance of some type.

Sounds to me like someone who was similarly burned for the same infraction.

I have found out who the person is, I have been given email, but a person who is going to at least 3 villages, would not talk. I have been told that the person is moving and does not care whats happens or who they anger! Malicious, YES, Mean, YES, downright ugly YES!!! have the common courtesy to talk to your neighbors!

I don't blame you for being upset. 97 complaints show a peculiar obsession. So much silliness!!
I feel sorry for anyone with such a mindset.
Also, I find it hard to believe that anyone could find 97 violations in any Village!
Since the person is moving, just say Good Riddance!

We live in Gilchrist and a neighbor told us that her salesman dropped by to say "hi!" and mentioned to her that she had several items in her planted areas that were prohibited.

Now this couple has a beautifully landscaped front and unless you walk to the door, the items would not be seen. They are tasteful and small.

He then went on to brag to her that he has reported several homes in Gilchrist for the same infractions. He told her that he actually drives around and take addresses to report.

He is now LIVING in Gilchrist and from what we hear he has had some very expensive and tasteful bronze statues reported and removed. One was a beautiful and very expensive bronze bench with a little boy and little girl sitting on it. It was placed under a palm in a lovely landscaped yard. In other yards he has also had bronze birds removed. (osprey, cranes etc.)

Certainly what is attractive to one person is not to another. But in the case of this guy, he is simply looking for things to report in a vengeful way.

It is interesting that the bright turquoise and bright pink homes with mushroom pads and gnomes are acceptable in the older areas, but subtle, and expensive bronze statuary is prohibited in our area.

This guy is on a power trip and must get great satisfaction out of exercising that power.

"subtle, and expensive bronze statuary" is also acceptable in our historic neighborhoods.

As an aside, am I correct in understanding that complaints to Compliance that are called in do not need or should not indicate who they are?

:agree:

what ever happened to what we signed and agreed to when we bought. This all came about when a house on Oak forest (north of 466) had 54 items in the yard. We signed not to have them and we should not if not enforced it will soon look like a trash dump More should send complaints in. I am not the one who sent the complaints in I don't live near there.

You are correct.

Whats valid, I guess they are if you want to say so, BUT we are talking about small, and I mean small statues, about 8 inches high. Yes I know what the rules state, BUT these people are looking for problems! One person was informed that the flat stepping stones had to be removed because they had words on them!!!!

I don't understand. Someone showed you the emails? what do you mean by this? Complaints are anonymous. Who told you there were 97 emails from the same person? please explain.

They have been to our section of Buttonwood

this kind of vengeful power play crap is exactly why the villages needs to step up and enforce their own rules THAT THEY WROTE and then refused to enforce unless somebody complained. they're basically making us the watchdogs' and we have no training. you made the rules, t v. enforce them yourselves!!

what part of tamarind grove?
