The word "homesite" could be in question. To me, it would be outside of the house meaning in the yard, driveway, under a tree, etc. not in a garage. Understanding that a sales agent may say anything to get a sale, when asked this question to an agent, I was given that answer ie; homesite means outside the house.

Except when your neighbors have "opticus-rectalis " and are more concerned about what you do than what they do. In otherwords, MYOB and leave other folks alone.
And here we go again with another guy running around with that comic book rulse restriction rag in his hand preaching the gospel of Morse to anyone who stands still for more that a few seconds. Geeeeez!!

If you signed or accepted the restrictions ,( and you did,) then when they say "ANY PORTION OF THE HOME SITE ". means just that ,
No one is going to complain if you tinker with your car in your garage , But you better be damn careful if you start taking in washings.....
NO COMMERCIAL VENTURES , in residential areas........

Well, if the gospel of Moorse says to respect and be considerate of your neighbors, then I am guilty.
Help me here. I am looking for the word to describe someone who signs a document with the intention of ignoring its provisions.

Each village has restrictions that vary, I think they have been fine-tuned as TV progressed. (Realtor signs are a good example, in the older sections you can have a "For Sale" sign in your front yard, in the newer areas all you can have is a sign in your window.)

Where I live the restriction on working on your automobile reads (in part) as follows:

"No Owner of a Homesite shall repair or restore any motor vehicle, boat, trailer, aircraft, or other vehicle on any portion of the Homesite, or on dedicated or reserved areas, except for emergency repairs, and then only to the extent necessary to enable movement to a proper repair facility."

I guess I can't repair a car (or golf car) on my own homesite but you can come to my homesite and repair it for me, or I can bring it to your house and repair it there.
OR I can build it on my homesite, but I can't repair or restore it on my homesite.

How many of you have aircraft on your homesite?

Did they ever consider having a lawyer review that restriction before they adopted it?

Or did you, before you signed it?

I didnt sign it, but if I did move to the villages I would follow it to the letter of the contract, and so would those that attempted to enforce it against me.

I have been to the villages six times. I have relatives that live there and they absolutely love it. I am considering buying a second home but I do have questions about some of the issues there, including the IRS issue, the form of government or the lack thereof, and the deed restrictions. I like working with my power tools, and on my vehicles. I also have a dog that loves long walks in the woods. I am afraid my independent nature would not fit well with the restrictions that are a necessity in a "gated" community. There is a lot of language in the various deed restrictions that I do not like.
I enjoy reading the posts on this website so I can learn as much as possible about the villages before I make a purchase there. There are a lot of very nice and helpful people that I have met in TV.

A good neighbor is just that. One who would bother the street on which he lives by doing an auto repair on his driveway might be pushing the limits, in my opinon, especially if there were a lot of noise, debris on the driveway, or spills. None of us have an objection to what is done in the privacy of ones closed doors, just don't bring your auto repairs to the driveway or street.
