How do you know your home would not have appreciated more if the signs were not there?
A lot of thanks for home appreciation in tv should go to Gary Morse & family. A few years ago everything else in Fl tanked.
So maybe everyone should pay attention to there wisdom.
Yes, this is my opinion & theory.

That just doesn't make sense...............of course what does about this sign issue.

only that the developer wants to enforce something he gave a board of supervisors the responsibility/authority to enforce - or not enforce - years ago. said boards having governed for all of these years - and now the developer thinks they are/will be incapable of governing themselves? maybe?

Are there deed restrictions in New England and the Jersey Shore?

On page 1 post #2 of this thread I had agreed with Jennifer Parr's opinion regarding the position the AAC took concerning the waiver of restictions on residential "for sale signs"

However I read the opinion of one villager in todays Daily Sun and to my unpleasant surprised it was signed Don Hahnfeldt. This guy is joined at the hip with the Developer and perhaps it is too strong a word to say, a synchophant, but when a guy like a long history with the Developer who has held and continues to hold leadership positions, writes an article that goes beyond support and enters a "I so sympathize with Jennifer.....causes me to pause and question motives ,sincereity and hence credibility.

I would have prefer and would have thrown my support further toward the Developer had this article been written by a villager with no direct relationship with the Developer

Would any of you off campus like for me to type it here for you to read?

What we are going to have as a final result is multiple and different rules from one District to the other, one having signs and the neighboring district having a no yard sign rule. You talk about a mess !!!!

Amen Rubicon, you have it exactly right. I spotted this immediately and have known of this good old boy connection for years. I was equally upset that the writer took an unfair swipe at Carl Bell, a man I know who has a desire to do "what is right". This probably has a little something to do with Mr. Bell running for a county office against a favorite son.

That's a possibility, but until the voting is held, we won't know.

How about modifying those rules to take into consideration "fair use" exceptions?

There is a simple answer to this debate. As the old famous statement said:FOLLOW THE MONEY..The question is who will benefit from restricting the advertising of resale homes for sale.? If anyone believes this is strictly a concern with appearance they should get real. There are TWO factions. Ones who are concerned with appearances and one that sees $$$$'s in the final answer. It is like two sides on a "rope pulling contest" one for appearance and the other for money. One side is made up of residents of N466 along with one made up of those that want the money They are allegedly on the residents side of the rope.. If appearance's win then one side of the $$$$ hopefull will reap the rewards and allegedly they are cheering for the win by the residents. If OK for sign's another side of the $$$$ hopefull will reap the rewards. GOOD LUCK..

I think the issue should be that we can not just selectively enforce restrictions we all agreed to when we bought. If you want to have signs then have a referendum in your district and change the covenant.
But then that opens the door to changing all the covenants.
Personally if there is no enforcement, I'm going to look into renting out my lawn for political signs and also look into a fence for my back yard - it'll have to be a little on the high side since I have cats and face a busy street.

quietman - if you knew what the deed restriction was and you knew that it was not enforced, why did you buy in the neighborhood anyway and why was it not a big enough deal before now to press for enforcement of the deed restriction?
