Neighbors,
At today’s Board of Directors meeting your Board passed the following new rule in regard to Estate, Garage and Yard Sales:
.
15. Estate, Garage or Yard sales within Hickory Woods are not allowed. Hickory Woods is a private Homeowners Association (HOA) community and as such each Unit Owner’s actions affect the entire community. All of these activities encourage visitation of people from outside Hickory Woods which can have an adverse impact on the privacy, property rights and financial liabilities of all Unit Owners.
.
Attached please find the updated Hickory Woods Rules in its entirety. It will also be posted on the Hickory Woods website as well as the New Star portal.
.
Sincerely,
Your Hickory Woods Board of Directors
I think this creates an undue burden on the children and residents who have to liquidate due the sale of a property. A one-time exception should be made for the sale of a unit prior to the homeowner moving.
Bob you make a very good point. Some day all of us will eventually move out or pass away. In either case who is going to stop you or your kids from holding a final sale. What is the board going to do, call the yard sale police, they are powerless. The passing of rules without any punitive damages is ridiculous. It would be better if the board used common sense in these matters but is seems like that is missing.
I agree. Just couldn’t express myself, like you have, in fewer words.
