Roof colors: good, bad, ugly




Does having different color schemes comply with the Condominium Declaration? Declaration Article XI.B, requires "a uniform plan for the development and operation of the Condominium."

At the very least, the Board could have polled Association members as to whether or not they would like a uniform color scheme throughout Southampton.

Is this any way to run an election?

We received a letter from the management agent informing us of the October 13 Annual Meeting, and a proxy form for electing homeowners to serve on the Board of Directors. Just one problem: How does one complete a proxy form when there's no information on the number of vacancies on the Board, and a listing of candidates?

Doesn't the red door look better?

This door has been in place for several years, so the Board may have lost the legal right to do anything about it.

The condominium documents require uniform rules for the operation of the condominium.

Presumably, what one owner is permitted to do, others may not be prohibited from doing — this door sets a precedent for the red door.

Nice door. Can we have one like it?

The Declaration, Article XI.B, requires "a uniform plan for the development and operation of the Condominium." Does this mean that the rules, decision, etc. with respect to the other door, apply to this door?

More on architectural control.

If you wish to comment, note rule at top of page: "Comments must include a name, email address, and unit number."

Trimming trees on the building side only?

Spoke to one of the tree trimmers. He said he was told to trim trees on the building side only. Does this make sense?

It does, if you're going to trim a few branches. It doesn't, if you're going to chop off one side of the tree like these guys did.


Here's a nicely pruned Crepe Myrtles.
