<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 153996, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> It happens when you have "legal beagles" on the board. For 30 years it has been illegal to paint your house any color but what it was originally. A family moved in last year and painted their house a bright yellow. The brightest yellow was a pale cream color which was original. Everyone threw a "hissy fit". A board member okayed the color with the couple before they started since they said they were going to paint their house the original yellow. When the house was done all hell broke loose. Since the board member did not want to admit making a mistake he got a lawyer on the board to just say</p><p>it was a "waiver" and never to be done again. So if we have someone who wants to paint the house purple they can get a waiver. Never is never, never. My great grand uncle donated to the town 20 acres to be used as a cemetery including the cause that if the town sells the cemetary or closes it down, the ground reverts back to the family. 100 years later the town closed the cemetery and decided to move the graves to just 3 acres. They then sold the remaining 17 acres to a developer. Some estranged family members have now decided to sue the town for the 17 acres. The fight has been going on for 8 years now. If everyone in the family gets a fair share it will come to about a lot of 25 ft by 25 ft per family memeber.</p><p>greg</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
