So far we have a few members of our community that feel that the HOA is out of control! Allen, Chris and I will attempt to get the blog information out to the community and once this happens I feel that we as a community will come together and defeat the HOA!!! Monica seems like a very nice person, but everyone needs to remember that she is a puppet in this play. The developer is the person that controls the strings, at least for now, and he will make changes that suit him and no one else! I talked to one resident that feels that Monica is doing a good job and that the changes are not so bad---rules are needed, however, when do we say enough is enough......The changes are made on 2 visits a month from our great HOA (if that) we live here everyday and trust me if I made 2 visits a month I would have a list of crap that needs to be changed! We should assign one person to inspect and give a monthly report on possible violations!

Meridith--is our security for Cabot Cove--she is a Pearland Peace Officer and lives across the street from me--I consider her and John (her Husband) a friend! Anyway--Meridith told me that the F150 had been targeted for theft and she wants too inform everyone with this auto that you need too take extra precautions!!! OK lets take control ladies and gentleman and live life the way it should be-----stress free.

Letter From the HOA

Dear Home Owners of Cabot Cove:

My name is James Wright and I have activated this blog for communication purposes. This first posting is about the letter we all have received from the HOA regarding the two changes the HOA wants to make.

First, I personally don't have dogs, however, when my wife and I decide to adopt one I don't think I need a board to tell me what type of dog I should own. The last time I checked this was AMERICA and I don't need big brother telling me what I can and can't own! My neighbors have two pit bulls and if this rule changes they will probably be forced to remove them. Theses dogs are very loving and the owners do a great job taking care of them! I know for a fact that another family on the lake has two pit bulls as well--so they will fall under the same rule--I haven't met these dogs but I am sure they are fine, however, if they are not friendly the owners do a good job keeping them at a safe distance.

As my wife and I walk the path of the lake we see dogs that can be deemed as aggressive or maybe not--who is to tell us which are aggressive and which are not? I will tell you if they change the rules--the Board of Directors will decide leaving us the homeowners out of the loop. I have noticed that two residence have taken down secured areas that were built for their pets and what I have heard is that the HOA made them take the structures down!! The two structres were built to code, so why is the HOA forcing this issue? I feel that the change of Article V section 1(h) should be voted down--VOTE NO!

Second, the HOA wishes to admend Article III section 5--the change would allow the board to levy assessments as they fit--versus 75% of the homeowners too vote on these same assessments. The HOA ran a $20,950.00 deficit in 2006!!! Now they want more power to spend money as they see fit! OK thats a great idea! Below are a couple of examples of how they spend our money (this is from the income statement produced by Monica Morikawa on November 27th 2006 @ 12:28pm)

Landscaping contract: $39,000
Pool Contract: $29,000
General: $5,519--what is this?


I have a complete copy of this thanks to ALLEN (of Cabot Cove) and with the help of Chirs (of Cabot Cove) we have decided that of the $139,350 spent that these two really needed to be reviewed.

Please let me know how you feel---I have personally been on the HOA about the trash around the lake and new homes--finally we are getting this taken care of--if you have an issue we can address it and as a whole we can solve it.

James
