BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR





We've been having problems with water - rain runoff has been exposing the utilities boxes and gear at the end of our driveway at the street. (See pictures below!) The HOA here decided it was really a problem they should address. And they did. (Yes, the workers showed up - almost a week late, but they did show.) They put in mitigation which is... appreciated but inappropriate. I doubt if the design review committee would approve the long white rows of rip rap the crew put in to slow the water down. One spans our property line and the one next door and looks to be 150 feet long. That's hard to ignore, especially in an area where they tout the natural look.

Now what? Good question. Other than to say we don't think it's appropriate we don't know what action we might take.
