Can it be true @ $1.2?

What neighborhood will Biff and Muffy grace their presence with?

If you are unable or unwilling to attend the annual meeting please get your proxy to a like minded neighbor in order to vote the current Village Idiots out of office!

We deserve much better!

Note: Do not present your proxies to the board until just before the meeting.

Letting your cats roam free is irresponsible behavior in a wilderness full of predators and a neighborhood full of idiots! Cats are destructive predators.

I had the Patnodes retrieve their fur ball from my front porch after it got caught in my live trap!

According to Deschutes County it’s acceptable to live trap animals that stray into your property.

For the Record: I love animals, that’s exactly why I don’t have any!

Someone please help me understand why the Board doesn’t want an Emergency Egress for the West Side? I keep posting at the Mail Station but the Board continues to remove the postings?

Have a Plan!

Here is how well functioning HOAs operate. See Below

It seems our development requires the need for commonly recognized practices, to be actually recognized! Experiencing the “Quiet Enjoyment” of one’s property can only occur when “everyone” voluntarily follows the rules. That ain’t happening in Wild River! Just look around!

We are now a community of “complaint based” enforcement and rarely are legitimate complaints acted upon. Just look around!

This is the only HOA community where I’ve lived where the ARC takes a hands off approach to rule enforcement, believing that even the rule breakers should live in “Quiet Enjoyment” of their property.

I never voted to defund the police. Just look at the cities that have taken a hands off approach to law enforcement. Are these places where you would want to live? Just look around!

No one I know would like to turn this place into Sunriver! But when asking people to simply follow our rules that can be an argument thrown in your face!

So, with the preamble out of the way, please read on

.Key Responsibilities of an HOA ARC:

Reviewing Modification Requests:The ARC assesses homeowner proposals for exterior changes, such as paint colors, landscaping, fences, or additions, ensuring they comply with the HOA’s CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) and architectural guidelines.

Editor’s Note: Any exception should be approved by the people most affected, aka the neighbors. Any exception should enhance the development not diminish its property values.

**Maintaining Consistency:

They work to maintain a consistent aesthetic throughout the community by enforcing established standards and guidelines.

Protecting Property Values:

By ensuring that modifications are in line with the community’s character, the ARC helps to protect and potentially enhance property values.

Editor’s Note: How does chopping up our property with shacks and fencing help with community character and property values, especially when they violate our established rules?

**Enforcing Architectural Standards:

The ARC enforces the HOA’s architectural guidelines, addressing violations and ensuring compliance.

Editor’s Note: We have standards which are frequently ignored without consequences in order to protect the”Quiet Enjoyment” of the offenders.

Educating Homeowners:

They may also play a role in educating homeowners about the architectural guidelines and the review process.

Reviewing and Updating Guidelines:

ARCs may also be responsible for reviewing existing architectural guidelines and suggesting updates to the HOA board.

Editor’s Note: Our current set of architectural guidelines violate our CC&Rs. ARC Guidelines can not be less strict than our CC&Rs.

**Inspecting Properties:

ARC conducts inspections to identify potential violations of the architectural guidelines.

Editor’s Note: In case you are unaware, this responsibility has fallen on individual homeowners here in Wild River. If you are waiting for a violation to be corrected “you” must call it in, with the likelihood of nothing being done in order to protect the “Quiet Enjoyment” of the violator.

How the ARC Process Works:

1. Submission of Requests:Homeowners submit detailed plans and specifications for their proposed modifications to the ARC.

2. Review and Decision:The ARC reviews the submission, comparing it against the community’s guidelines, and then makes a decision (approval or denial). Not happening here!

3. Notification and Enforcement:The ARC notifies the homeowner of its decision and, if approved, the homeowner can proceed with the modifications. If denied or if changes are made without approval, the ARC will take action to enforce the guidelines.

This property deserves better than what we are receiving!

Hey Everyone,

The good news is Reserve Study has been completed unfortunately the bad news is the baseline data provided by our board was woefully wrong!

Garbage in, Garbage Out!

Reserve Study Feedback

There was no assessment made for the reduction of ladder fuels for our forested property and therefore, there are no budget estimates to reduce the risk of fire.

I’m hoping to see a 3 year maintenance plan based on a required revision to the Reserve Study. This action will drive changes to our budget.

If I missed anything, please let me know!

Thanks, Jim

Take the survey, PLEASE!, and check the results. When you take the survey your results will be posted in real time below.

Results

Some have asked if the survey results will get back to individuals. The answer is no, I’m not collecting names or email addresses. However, Google knows who you are and therefore you can’t stuff the ballot box. If you are too detailed in your written answers, that may lead back to an individual.

It’s important to let the board know your thoughts since they seem to be too busy on other things to ask the question.
