I think everyone would like more clarification. While I don’t know for sure I suspect most owners on the lake would like to restrict STVR as they have the potential to distract the sanctity of the lake and potentially decrease property values. What is not clear is the path to take to get there.
That being said I applaud the board for taking steps to attempt a resolution. The board does have public meetings that are not well attended otherwise maybe a better discussion could have occurred. The lack of communication is both the fault of the board and the property owners. Regardless that is water under the bridge and there is no benefit in discussing the past further.
Just for clarification the Lake Use Agreement and the Talahi Lake Estates covenants as they exist today are separate documents. The Lake Use Agreements are not covenants by my understanding. Talahi Lake Estates is actually a set of 5 different convenants. One for each section of the houses on Suncrest. Section V consists of 15 houses, Section IV has 10 homes., etc. That is why the homes on Suncrest are numbered in the 100’s, 200’s, 300;s, 400’s and 500’s. If you want to know what section applies to you look at your address. While they are largely similar they are actually filed separately.
This is not a Lake Use Agreement issue nor is it an issue for Scarboro Cove. Scarboro Cove has already added a restriction on STVR in their HOA documents. It is strictly an issue for the 62 homes on Suncrest Blvd on the lake. It is not a Lake Board issue although everyone on the lake benefits with STVR restrictions.
Out of 62 homes on Suncrest Blvd. 41 of them are in violation of the covenants in one form or another today. The existing Lake Board has no power to enforce any covenants in Scarboro Cove or Talahi Lake Estates. Voting to install a POA to enforce covenants is a non starter for those already in violation and I doubt there is any way a POA would be approved. Nobody wants to give someone else control over their property.
Without discussing with lawyers I don’t know the best path forward. If a simple update to the existing covenants could be accomplished without the creation of a ruling board that would be ideal.
