Date Posted: 19:39:48 08/14/11 Sun Dear Amy The reason I mentioned in my post that the SBPOA intends to control the traffic on the island is found in the charter the filed with the Sec of State Please download the charter offered on the Sargent Beach Texas website and look at Article 5 Section 2: (a) To further the common good and general welfare of the pubic and the people of the Sargent Beach, whether or not they are Members (“Sargent Beach” includes, but is not limited to the communities of the Sargent Beach Addition, and known collectively as Sargent Beach Addition) situated between the Intracoastal Canal and the Gulf of Mexico at Sargent Texas; (b) To preserve the value, integrity, enjoyment of the residential the properties located in Sargent Beach for the benefit of Sargent Beach property owners and the visiting public; and (c) To promote the public safety and welfare of Sargent Beach by, among other things, (i) promoting safety and the safe operation of motor vehicles in compliance with traffic and safety laws, (ii) controlling deterioration of Sargent Beach by promoting the removal of derelict or hazardous structures, and (iii) by assisting senior, disabled or low income residents of Sargent Beach with maintenance of improvements, and etc.. Article 5 is pretty clear that they intend to have the association in complete control of the island on every level possible. As to assertion of assisting seniors, disabled or low income residents, I can only guess they have chosen to sue 3 property owners to fund their altruistic plans. It seems to me if a group of folks want to help others, they might first actually HELP someone instead of suing their neighbors. Don’t kid yourself about their goals and intent – it’s not going to be pretty. Download the lawsuit document. You can clearly see that someone from the “association” trespassed on a resident’s property to take photos to present in their lawsuit. Trespassing on property to sue someone is downright underhanded and I hope every property owner on the island takes note of this trespass. Maybe its time everyone put up a “No Trespass” sign on their property to keep from getting sued by this “association” Hope that helps answer your question Linda [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:26:57 09/16/11 Fri I don't necessarily agree with an HOA being the answer. However, if you look into it, past the emotion and rhetoric, the property owners being sued are attempting to take pretty egregious actions on their properties. I am a property owner on the beach and I want other owners to comply with the deed restrictions put in place in 1954. Imagine the outcry when I subdivide and open my pig farm.

Date Posted: 20:36:02 09/18/11 Sun You are right the original restrictions would be fine, but that's NOT what this SBPOA is trying to do. Read their PROPOSED Deed Restrictions. VERY different story, and as far as the property owners that were sued, One of them was sued for just inquiring about dividing his lots, he actually did NOTHING. The other, put up RV's on his lots and rents them out. Pretty darn nice ones too.. no pig farm there! As to subdividing lots.. take a long look at that one. It's been done over the years by several property owners and when it comes out in court just who did most of that, there'll be a lot egg on the SBPOA faces. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:56:34 09/19/11 Mon To all, carefully read the letter and intent of the wording and actions requested asked for in the lawsuit. The underlying intent is to have a judge interpret the deed restrictions rather than the Owners. Again and for emphasis, The underlying intent is to have a judge interpret the deed restrictions rather than the Owners. This is evident for many issues and, in my opinion, violates the spirit of deed restrictions and is at the heart of most HOA dictatorships, to accomplish their special interests without regard for the general Ownership.
