Homeowner Concerns & New Business (Open Forum):
- Fines and Assessments were briefly discussed
- The following answer was provided by legal counsel in regards to the proposed fines and assessments: “As a general rule, if the street is a public right of way, the HOA has no authority to tell someone they cannot park on the street. The street does not belong to the HOA, and it was likely dedicated to the public before the covenants were ever recorded. Covenants can only impose restrictions on property owned by the Declarant when the covenants were originally signed and recorded therefore any item or declaration added after the original inception could be considered in protest (In other words, unenforceable). Lots and lots of covenants have provisions restricting parking on the public streets, but they are generally unenforceable as well. As of this time Oklahoma Law and Oklahoma City Ordinance does not regulate the parking for residential streets other than work or commercial vehicles and those restrictions are only enforceable as it relates to quiet hours. On the trashcans, those are enforceable. On the structures those are enforceable. On the fences, enforcement depends on the plot and covenants.
- The following fines and assessments are still being considered by the HOA:
