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.

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?

An Unpleasant Surprise
 

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

nope!

hank & judy - just who is it that evaluates the appreciation of one's property and on what is the appreciation based? please tell me. thanks

Signs
 

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 !!!!

Letter to Editor
 

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?

I keep hearing that this is only for homes North of 466 but I live in District 5 which is south of 466 and there is a meeting on Aug 17 to vote on this matter. Whats this all about? Are we in or out?

big guy - your cdd is in the fray and the supvs mtg is aug 17.

you can click here VCDD Meetings/Agendas and it will take you to the district gov website for your cdd5

from there you can click on the agenda and on the agenda you will note the hilited agenda numbers - you can click on them to read the detail re same.

hope that helps. and don't forget to contact your supvs to let them know your opinion any time - whether it be pro or con re any issue.

Simple
 

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..:mmmm:

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?
