August 2023 Scoop published today

The CAMS office for the Summit's HOA finally seems to have figured out how to publish the Summit Scoop at the beginning of the month, instead of around the 15th-20th of the month. Kudos to them.

The August 2023 Summit Scoop was distributed to homeowners by email today, August 3, 2023. If you are a homeowner, check your email.

If you didn't receive it by email this morning, contact the office. If you aren't registered on the HOA's website, you'll need to be. That's where they get the email addresses for Scoop distribution.

Do residents receive the Scoop by email? Can a resident register on the HOA's website? (About five years ago I was registered. Then Justin or George decided to block me, and my registration was deleted.)

Willow Park is featured in the August Scoop. Has anyone ever heard of Willow Park before? It's in the Autumn Hill neighborhood. Anybody know where that is? Autumn Hill has "entrances from many Ridge Crest Neighborhood streets", according to the Scoop. Anybody know where Ridge Crest is?

The August board meeting has been re-scheduled to August 8th.
The September board meeting is scheduled for September 5th. That's the day after Labor Day. Will the office have the financial reports for August ready by then? Will the meeting date be changed at the last minute?

The Scoop continues to list Community Association Management and Angela Adleman as "Agent". Is she the "Agent"? That has a specific legal meaning. Isn't she the Association's Property Manager?

The employees in the office are listed as Property Managers. Recent CAMS ads for the second position in the office were for an Assistant Property Manager. Isn't that what they are?

What? No trampolines?

OK, you trampoline fans. Are your rights and privileges being tramped on by your Board of Directors? The office sent out an email just before 2:00PM threatening you with a dreaded violation notice and the possibility of fines, if you dare to put a trampoline in your yard.  This is what the email from the office said,  " Please be advised that, pursuant to Section 13, Page 22, Article XII of the covenants, no structure of a temporary nature shall be placed upon any unit or any part of the properties. This includes, but is not limited to, tents, temporary gazebos, shacks, trailers, and any other structure of a temporary nature.  "Kindly note that trampolines are classified as temporary play equipment and, as such, are not permitted within the community. We ask that you ensure there is no trampoline present on your property to avoid receiving a violation notice and subsequent fines." What do the Covenants say? "Section 13. Tents. Trailers and Temporary Structures. Exce...

Open Letter to Barony Place "Voting Member"

An open letter to the "Voting Member" of Barony Place Neighborhood. Good morning, Billie, If you and/or an Alternate attended last night's board of directors meeting, will you please send out a recap of the meeting to Ann Stirlen and me (and to all the homeowners and residents in Barony Place)? About a dozen homeowners from throughout The Summit showed up for the board meeting  at the church  last night, only to learn from one person that it had been switched to Zoom, which allowed the board to meet in secret. Many of them had not received the email from the office that the board was (illegitimately) closing the meeting to homeowners. There are only about 1,800 (73%) email addresses of the 2,480 Members in the website database. I attempted to join the meeting on Zoom, as I am Attorney-in-Fact for Ann Stirlen, but I was not admitted to the meeting. The HOA's attorney has quoted a section in the By-Laws that she believes allows the Board to close the meetings. That spec...

Pet Peeve #1 - Tinted License Plate Covers

Image
  AO(Q?)H 152 My #1 pet peeve is heavily-tinted license plate covers. These are prohibited under South Carolina law (and by laws in many states), but my belief is that these drivers are seldom stopped.  These drivers can run red lights, speed, tailgate, even cause hit-and-run accidents, and witnesses can only say, "I couldn't see the license plate number." My solution? Troopers, deputies, and cops should stop these cars. Ticket the driver. Remove the license plate frame, tinted cover, and license plate as evidence. This will force the driver to have his car towed, because he cannot operate a motor vehicle on the roads without a license plate. Make it inconvenient and expensive. Drivers KNOW they are violating the law. They expect to get away with it, and they do. It's time for this to stop! Pet peeve #2: heavily-tinted front windows.
