The Board and The Mission
After reading of "the governing documents." There is a huge focus on -- protect the Developer! (The Founders). With this consideration, there may be a purpose built into the "Board" to ensure HOA Residents "TOE THE LINE." This will ensure this community is as picture perfect as possible so the (Developer) mission can be met. What mission?

Expectations are the Board is here to serve the community interest and maybe they do. Attending the meeting on April 24, 2025 - most of the Board seemed thoughtful on some of the "sticky parts". Meaning, the Board meeting was set to go after residences for "Enforcement Action." There is a great amount of trust in what the HOA Management Company (CCMC) is doing for actions and the information prepared. Maybe it is due to being so "new" there is an experience problem, but the Management Company as proven actions that should be driving concern. Example of things that are not beneficial to the community include:
- Obfuscation of processes
- Words spoken but not written (like in the Minutes which are regurgitated agenda's with no HOA resident inputs)
- You take the time to go to a meeting - they show you information not seen - but you cant find that anywhere if you look for it
How can I say this ??? See the table
THE FOUNDERS should be amended to read "THE UNTOUCHABLES"

So long as there is a Founder Membership, the Founder Member shall have a right to disapprove any action, policy, or program of the Association, the Board, and any committee that, in the Founder Member's sole judgment, would tend to impair rights of the Founder or Builders under the Charter or these By-Laws, interfere with the development or construction of any portion of the Community, or diminish the level of services he Association provides. The Board shall not implement any action, policy, or program subject to the right of disapproval set forth herein until and unless the requirements of this Section have been met. | So if you think you can change things - not so fast - there is a VETO allowance for "the Untouchables" |
| (MASKED-Community-Name) Residential Charter - CCRs-ByLaws-AOI - Part Two: Community Standards - Chapter 5 - Architecture, Landscaping, and Aethetic Standards | The community deserves its unique character from a mix of compatible architectural styles and from the cooperation of all Builders and Owners in upholding minimum design, landscaping, and aesthetic standards. This Chapter explains how those standards are established and how they are applied and maintained through a process requiring prior approval for construction on and exterior modifications to improvements on property with the Community initiated by anyone other than the Founder or the Association during the Founder Control Period | You will do it and you will like it -- or else - because the Founders are here again to drive all actions as they determine |
| (MASKED-Community-Name) Residential Charter - CCRs-ByLaws-AOI - Part Two: Community Standards - Chapter 5 - Architecture, Landscaping, and Aethetic Standards | 5.2 Design Review Authority (a) Founder. The Founder shall have exclusive authority to review and act upon all applications for review of proposed Improvements until expiration of the Development and Sale Period. The Founder may designate one or more persons to act on its behalf in reviewing any application. In reviewing and acting upon any request for approval, or otherwise exercising or declining to exercise its authority under this Chapter, the Founder and its designee act solely in the Founder’s interest and owe no duty and shall have no liability to the Association or any other Person. From Time to time, the Founder may delegate any or all of its rights under this Chapter to other persons or committees, including the committee appointed pursuant to Section 5.2(b). Any such delegation shall be in writing, shall specify the scope of responsibilities delegated, and shall be subject to (i) the Founder’s right to revoke such delegation at any time by written notice to the Board and reassume its prior control, and (ii) the Founder’s right to veto any decision that it determines, in its discretion, to be inappropriate or inadvisable. Until expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period, the authority and jurisdiction of other shall be limited to such matters as the Founder specifically delegates. | You think you have any authority as a Board or group? not if you want to do something the Founders disagre with |
| (MASKED-Community-Name) Residential Charter - CCRs-ByLaws-AOI - Chapter 15 - Disclosure and Waivers | Section 15.3; Changes in the Development Plan. The Founder reserves the right to make changes in the Development Plan in its sole discretion, subject to such governmental approvals as may be required. Each Owner acknowledges that the Community is a master planned community, the development of which is likely to extend over many years, and agrees that neither the Association nor any additional Association shall, without the Founder’s prior written consent, engage in or use Association funds to support any protest, challenge, or other form of objection to (a) changes in uses of density of property within the Community, or (b) changes in the Development plan | If you decide to live here - you have no choice but to agree. Kind of like a software EULA agrement - you want to use that you have to agree. The clause in this section states the Founder can do whatever they want even if you heard something stated before you bought here |
