Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Ditches Msg# 1223080

to combat the terror being perpetrated on our owners?
Terror? Sounds way, way over the top. This is, as a practical matter, a legal issue In interpretation of the DRs. I suggest you first talk to a lawyer and obtain an opinion prior to “combat.” From a personal standpoint, having nothing to do with the DRs, home values in this community would be greater if each lot kept the ditch clear on their property and cut their own lawn along the edge of the roads as we have done so for about 35 years. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The key words are "on the lot". The right of way, which includes the ditch, is not on my lot, it is adjacent to it. I would point out to you that Section 12C of the Declaration is very clear that the responsibility of the ditches belongs to the Association. "The Association shall be responsible for insect control, for maintenance, repair and upkeep of private streets, and parks within the Subdivision; the appurtenant drainage and slope easements reserved by the Declarant; ..." No where in the Declaration does it say that land outside of my lot is my responsibility. What is so hard that "on the lot" is not crystal clear to everyone? Ocean Pines does not know where the lot begins and ends. I have a current survey and I know exactly where my lot begins and ends. Ocean Pines is taking advantage of the homeowners. It is time for this to stop. Can Ocean Pines Forum hold a Town Hall Meeting so we can form a Task Force to combat the terror being perpetrated on our owners? |
