Section 4: General Subject: Wood Duck Park Disappears Msg# 911529

Using the example of your property, how would you feel if OPA somehow converted the five foot utility easement down the side of your house to a pedestrian access easement for the golf course?
False premise. The two five-foot easements into Wood Duck Park, unlike normal utility easements, were created specifically for pedestrian access to the park. That is what the four access points between homes are. Not entirely. Only two of the five access areas are five-feet. The two at the mid-point on each side are 20-feet as I recall. What you are apparently forgetting is that the OPA Board of Directors passed a motion that staff would open all access points, mark those access points with appropriate signs, and would line the interior of the park with shrubs to denote the area of OPA owned property, etc The one access point at the head of the park which is used by the maintenance vehicles is OPA owned. Even this no longer has a sign. The 4x4 post and sign were removed. I suspect lit was removed by staff. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Frank, everything you say is correct (at least down to the question, "How?"). But, it is not a simple problem and viewed from standpoint of the owners bordering the access points is a real headache. Using the example of your property, how would you feel if OPA somehow converted the five foot utility easement down the side of your house to a pedestrian access easement for the golf course? (And multiple vehicles were parked on the street all day.) It's still your property, you have to mow it, but you can't fence it or plant anything on it. That is what the four access points between homes are. They are access easements not OPA owned property. The one access point at the head of the park which is used by the maintenance vehicles is OPA owned. If it were a simple problem, it might already be corrected. Your first two suggestions would require changes to multiple governing documents. Won't happen. Third is happening courtesy of Nancy Weber. (Though not likely metal and concrete) Fourth is a good idea. And lastly, police have no jurisdiction over this issue other than perhaps theft of signs. Bill Z |
