Absurd Notices of Violation of the CC&Rs

Dear Blogger,I would greatly appreciate it if you ... Dear Blogger,

I would greatly appreciate it if you could post the following topic as a point of discussion, as I know I'm not the only Parkridge resident dealing w/ obsurd notices of violation of the CC&Rs.

I received in the mail today a notice of violation of rule 20 of the CC&Rs. Rule 20 reads as follows to save everyone some time:

"It is prohibited to hang clothing, towels, rags, rugs, etc., from the windows, railings, fences or from any of the facades of the development."

I was cited as violating this rule for hanging planter boxes (for flowers)from my balcony railing.

Now, being a logical man, and having read the rule in question, I know for a fact that my planter boxes would not be considered rags, clothing, rugs, or towels, so therefore I've deduced that my planter boxes are falling under the "etc." portion of this rule.

Is it just me or is it unreasonable to assume that I should have know that planter boxes would be considered in the same category as someone hanging their laundry out to dry on their balcony railing?

I would love to hear replies as to whether anyone else has received a similar violation, or has an explanation as to why a planter box is a violation when I've noticed several other units w/ items such as bird feeders, wind chimes, and other random itesm hanging from their balconies.

Planning on attending the Annual Meeting ???

If you are planning on attending the Annual Meeting of the Parkridge HOA to voice your concerns about the unprecedented $43 increase in your monthly fee, don't plan on seeing our esteemed President, Rene Fernandez, there.
He's not going to show up. It's unclear whether or not he's quitting the Board permanently or if he really has something more pressing, or if he just doesn't have the guts to face the music for HIS decision to raise the rate, but regardless, he's not going to be there.

That's right. I said HIS decision. The rate was never discussed in open or closed session of a Board Meeting and was passed at a meeting where 2 board members were absent!!! If this is the way the new Board and Management Company are going to do business, I suspect there are going to be more than six "For Sale" signs out front pretty shortly.

B.S.S.
