RE: Your Letters of May 16 and June 2, 2008
Dear Mr. Technician:
Thank you for your letters of May 16 and June 2, 2008 and attached covenant, Gardens – Flower which has a highlighted sentence which reads, “Plant material must be live, not plastic or silk.” Your letter notes “Specific non-compliance pertains to failure to remove artificial flowers from front yard planter box” and that “if it is not cured by 06/16/2008 a formal complaint will be filed with the Board of Directors.”
We would like to request a hearing before the Board of Directors to appeal this letter as well as to request consideration for changing this provision of our community covenants. Our request reflects our beliefs as follows:
(1) If chosen properly, plastic or silk flowers can add to the beautification of our neighborhoods;
(2) Live flowers have been devastated in recent years due to the teeming population of wild rabbits in our neighborhood;
(3) The extended drought in our region should bring a heightened sensitivity to water savings opportunities.
Please note that if we have “chosen poorly” and our silk flowers are considered ugly or gaudy and thus are not adding to the quality of the life experienced in our community, we of course are happy to choose differently. We do understand that some silk flowers can be overstated. Please see pictures of our property and flower box attached.
Please let us know when we would have the opportunity to appear before the Board. Also, we would like to take a moment to thank you and your colleagues for all you do to help ensure that our neighborhoods remain beautiful for the benefit of our community.
Sincerely,
Dave & Sherrie
Community Residents since 1987
