] Date Posted: 07:51:36 08/17/11 Wed Dear Pat & Kathy Trailer Thank you for your posting. It is clear you are enormously consumed by a fear of trailers on Canal Dr. To the point of antagonizing a potential property owner with an insult by stating “That is why it is called Deed Restricted. Follow the rules that were originally set up and there is no problem. Why, were you trying to move travel trailers onto the beach too???” Posted by “Kathy” Further posting by Pat states: “Why can't people enforce the restrictions that were in place since inception.” Let’s review that statement by reviewing the ORIGINAL Deed Restrictions STILL in force for the Sargent Beach Addition. There were eight (8) restrictions and they are listed below (transcribed from the original document.) Nowhere in these restrictions can I find any reference to trailers being excluded from the island. They refer to minimum structure cost and that structures must be single family dwellings. However, if you choose to abide by the deed restrictions and by the IRS tax code definition of “single family dwelling” you must agree that trailers, manufactured homes, even boat houses can qualify as a “single family dwelling” and most certainly those that I have observed on Canal Dr cost well over $2000.00. Therefore I can only conclude Pat’s posting shows little regard or understanding of /for the existing Deed Restrictions currently in place. If this Property Owners Association has changed those restrictions legally please by all means share this information with everyone. I would be most willing to concede error if you can produce such documentation. Speaking of “Legal” can you please share with everyone how this association is “legal” since they do not represent a majority of lot/property owners in the Sargent Beach Addition”? The original Sargent Beach Property Owners Association was dissolved in 1971 according to the Sec of State records. To validate a NEW HOA or POA I’m sure there are restrictions in place regarding voting, notification, etc. Otherwise I could just march over to the Sec of State and file all sorts of “restrictions” on Comfort. I’m sure the good people of Comfort would love that. Do you really want to “sanitize” this wonderful community at the expense of dividing a peaceful community? And if so, to what end are you willing to go? Sue more property owners if they don’t fit into your expectations? Perhaps this POA would have everyone leave who can’t afford or live up to its ideals. That would certainly enrich a few who would then stand to profit from buying land at depressed prices only to sell at a later time. I don’t expect answers to my questions from Pat or Kathy since they are so consumed with “trailers, trailers, trailers” however I am hopeful someone who is controlling this POA with its ostensible hidden agenda can respond to a question will enlighten us on these issues. _____________________________________________ Canal Drive Restrictions for Sargent Beach Addition 1.

Date Posted: 10:17:53 08/17/11 Wed >First of all, the website was created for Sargent Beach Property Owners and not visitors....Secondly, if you will do your research - the Texas Supreme Court - has ruled that travel trailers are not considered a "single family residence" and that manufactured homes are no longer allowed in our area. FEMA and the County decided that. These items can cause severe damage in a Hurricane. Let the cards fall where they may but the trailer issue - I am sure - will be addressed by FEMA, the insurance carriers, and the county at a later date. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:21:10 08/17/11 Wed Firstly this webpage was NOT created for Sargent Beach Property owners only nor was it created by the association. Please discontinue your attempts to invalidate my posts. I have been connected to Sargent Beach far longer than most. But here's another question (that you probably won't answer). Just WHO ARE the members of this association? Would you kindly post a list of your "membership" so an accurate account of the number of property owners who are in favor of your proposals and lawsuit can be known? Or is that to be hidden from all property owners and interested parties like your filings at the Sec of State and lawsuit? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:33:46 08/17/11 Wed >Just reading the opening to this site. It states a forum for property OWNERS... Too bad you are one.... Then maybe people would listen to your tirades.... You really should stop harrassing Sargent Beach Property Owners. You are making a fool out of yourself. It does not matter that you have been visiting for so many years. YOU ARE NOT AN OWNER...... Go back to COMFORT, TX. You have already made money off of this site and the DCCCLOA site, etc. What? Are people paying you to attack the LOCALS????!!! Shame on you. Maybe alot of owners want improvements?? Did you ever think about that? Maybe you and L - could both move back to Comfort. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:46:00 08/17/11 Wed Does it really matter who the members are of the Association? Proper notice was given. And, it doesn't matter who does what, you can be sued for anything these days. Start getting your checkbooks out and lets spin the wheel..... How long do you think the Homeowners are going to allow the destruction of values to continue? Yes money talks but then again those homeowners are the ones paying the bulk of the taxes...... Get your $$$ together as the only ones that profit are the attorneys. Let's see, B & P & D are the only ones getting rich...... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
