<div dir="ltr">Since time was of the essence in responding to Molly in 410, I have responded to her, explained the fence situation in detail and suggested using her banks bill pay to automatically mail a check. As far as her comments about the trim color, this is what I said:<div><br></div><div><i><font color="#999999">I'm very sorry that I had to bring this to your attention so soon after you moved in, but we had been trying to address this with the previous owner for a while. This requirement has been part of the covenants since 1986. There has been no recent change to them. I understand about having to deal with bringing your decks up to code, but that has never been part of the covenants, nor did we know about it. When do you think that you would be able to address this issue?</font></i><br></div><div><i><font color="#999999"><br></font></i></div><div><font color="#000000">Hopefully, that will smooth things over with her so we don't have an adversarial relationship out the door.</font></div><div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000">Dave</font></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 8, 2021 at 1:46 PM R.C.

Yes, it was raised by and with previous owner, but not ultimately fixed in accord with by-laws. Really sorry and sympathize with the one more thing, but important to know about for new homeowners what the expectations are about paint. Decks are up to individual homeowner; not to HOA. Which is sort of related to #3. Clarity and explanation about what is shared and covered by HOA and what is not. Nothing urgent. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">3.

Was this not addressed with the previous owner as well then? When was this requirement changed? I’ve already needed to have multiple things addressed here, including decks that were no where near up to code so I find it surprising that wouldn’t have been a mandate as well. So what are the ramifications of the paint color not matching for a period of time? It will get done but there are a number of other pressing issues being handled right now with this home. </div><div dir="auto">3. What is this fence situation?
