Words from our President - May
2012 - by Ross Silver, president@coraltracehoa.com |
Hi neighbors,
HOUSE PAINTING: As you know, last year's Board
of Directors determined that all homes in Coral
Trace were to be painted by May 31, 2012. This
year's Board of Directors has affirmed that with
notices sent to each homeowner, newsletter
articles, and signage posted at the entry and
exit to the community. It appears that the vast
number of homeowners have complied and the
community is really looking great. For those of
our neighbors who haven't complied, I have asked
our legal counsel to explain exactly what will
happen after we have inspected all homes in the
community the week of June 1, 2012. If you have
determined not to paint, it will be an expensive
proposition for yourself, as well as the
Association. See below.
Until next month,
regards, Ross
"In the event that homes are not painted as
required by May 31, 2012, those non-compliant
owners will be turned over to the Association's
attorney for enforcement. Enforcement will
begin with a notice of mandatory pre-suit
mediation, which will require the offending unit
owners to respond and agree to attend
mediation. At mediation, the Association will
demand that the home be painted and that the
unit owner pay for the Association's attorneys'
fees incurred in enforcing the governing
documents. By Statute, the cost of mediation
must be shared equally by both parties, with
mediators charging between $250 - $400 per hour,
usually with minimum hourly requirements. If
the matter is not settled at mediation, or if
the unit owner does not agree to attend
mediation, or fails to attend mediation, then
the Association may file a lawsuit against the
offending owner. In that case, the Association
will likewise demand that the unit be painted,
and that the unit owner pay for the
Association's legal fees and costs, in addition
to their own, if any. As you can see, the cost
in both time and money of failing to comply far
outweighs the cost of just doing what the
Association's declaration requires in the first
place. The Association has no desire to take
the enforcement action described above, but it
will do so without hesitation if required."

Coral Trace Security: COP by Ottis Raybon,
lraybon@earthlink.net |
Soon, if you haven’t
already, you will be seeing some of your Coral Trace
neighbors, and some other people you don’t recognize,
serving as our Citizens on Patrol (COP) force! We have
combined with our neighbors at High Point to receive
better patrol coverage.
As of this writing, twenty-three of us are in the
process of being trained to do security patrols in our
Delray Beach police car. We can use more volunteers—only
2 hours per week are required to participate. Please
call or email Ottis Raybon if you are interested. (561)
278-1847 or lraybon@earthlink.net
You will recognize our patrol because we have blue
uniforms with the logo below, and use the Police
cruiser.
Providing this patrol coverage will deter criminals from
choosing our community for their burglaries. Many more
sets of eyes watching our community, more often, can
only help keep our community safer.
Thanks to our Coral
Trace C.O.P. Officers, below, and to our volunteer
force!
Watch Captain: Ottis Raybon
Lieutenant: Tom Fagan
Sargeant: Theresa (Snookie) Laird
Field Training Officer: OPEN
