Question 4 Free-Text Responses

1.Fences should stay in the hands of the property owners.

2.The HOA should not have the financial responsibility to maintain the fences in question. Financial responsibility should reside with the homeowner who is benifiting from a maintenance free fence. Simply put, all fences backing onto open space or roads are constructed within the homeowner’s lot. Maintenance of these fences is required on the part of the property owner for both sides of the fence. Maintenance of all other fences located on the perimeter of a lot is the responsibility of each property owner for their own side of the fence.

3.I do not think the HOA should own ALL our fences -- just the woodcrete that is seen from the streets. HOWEVER, I do think the HOA should enforce more fence repairs. For example, our neighbor refuses to replace his fence. Our dog got into his yard one day and we looked for her for hours. It was only when he and his wife let their own dog out that they saw our dog in the yard and brought her home. In addition, the other side of his fence, which borders on our mailboxes, has been leaning outwards with a huge gap for four months. It looks horrible and surely cannot be helping the overall appearance of our neighborhood.

4.All property owners should take care of their own fence. Otherwise, why not include a number of the fences in your survey.

5.none

6.The parameters need to be specified in the covenants.

7.I just request that everyone be treated equitably. Why is the cedar fence on private property between Oak Brook and Avery ranch currently being replaced and maintained with HOA funds and yet the fence between Oak Brook Glen and Brushy Creek not been given the same consideration? Why is a portion of the fence on Sutter Creek replaced and maintained by the HOA but not others? It appears there is no long term community plan and we are at the whim of the Board at the time.

8.If they're going after all public facing and/or exposed fences, I think the easement should go for ALL public facing fences, not those that separate properties from each other to the side or rear.

9.None of the above, Easement should not stand!

10.To keep our properties values up and maintain a consistent look of the neighborhood, I think all fences that border other neighborhoods should be maintained by the HOA to ensure a consistent look and level of quality.

11.All existing woodcrete fences with a street, Olsen Meadows or pool/park exposure. Note this does not apply to anything I personally own.

12.It would be absurd for homeowners to think that if they have a wooden fence, the HOA is suddenly going to repair and replace it as well. Ryland did not place the fences in the proper place in the first place, creating this monstrosity of a problem, so having been involved since the beginning, I think they did the best they could with what they had.

13.all woodcrete fences only
