  • We don’t have issues with unleashed dogs, or even with people not cleaning up dog crap, it’s just too much dog pee causes dead grass.

    So it’s not directed at members for the states of their lawns (they are maintained by a common landscape company) it’s directed at people who have dogs who urinate - which is all of them.

    It seems like all the retired people in the neighborhood have a excellent reason to be on the board but with a full time job and a kid I just don’t have the time to put towards good faith governance of the neighborhood. Maybe that’s the idea though - to get on the board and reduce their scope to paying the lawn care guys and collecting dues to pay the lawn care guys.






  • A complicating factor: I would say ~50% of the houses are rented and only the homeowners have a say in HOA matters. So, assuming any owners without dogs (including the whole board) and any landlord would logically vote to ban all use of the grass, while all dog-owning homeowners would vote to allow dogs near the grass.

    Obviously that’s generalizing what the votes would be - even though the majority of the houses have dogs, I would say the minority are homeowners with dogs.

    The reason I bring this up is a petition-style response may be dismissed as “well those dog owners have no say as they are not homeowners”
