Were any other issues with non-residence destroying our community brought up? I hope so before residence start taking things into their own hands.
Since Daybreak opened the first appealing park on Kestrel Rise our community has been an attraction to the outside world. The first summer volleyball, basketball, and the splash pool opened, they were filled with non-residents. Language and behavior was out of line well into the night and the resident children were chased out. Residents begged for intervention by the HOA/Developer. Ultimately, it was a group of persistent residents walking through the park, telling non-residents to behave or get out, that created a difference. The HOA assigned a rotating shift to check ID's at the splash pool. We were told, it's important to have these people come into the community and experience it so they will buy homes.
When the first section of the lake opened, it was overrun with non-residents fishing for their dinner and trashing every spot on the shoreline. Those folks filtered down into the community and we saw a rise in crime and vandalism. Security was useless. Again, we were told, it's important to have these people come into the community and experience it so they will buy homes.
When the next section of the lake opened, it was the same thing only now we had more bridges to jump from, dark areas to skinny dip in, graffiti, people in cars and RV's camping at all hours, and more wandering into the neighborhoods. Security was useless. And again, we were told, it's important to have these people come into the community and experience it so they will buy homes.
Now our attractive nuisance (the lake) is almost done, has all the things that attracted folks before and more, BEACHES, and the best playgrounds in the valley! The unaddressed trouble from last year has escalated to a fever pitch. Security is useless, and we are still told, it's important to have these people come into the community and experience it so they will buy homes.
Kennecott and the HOA have had 4 years to see the pattern and address it. Responses from the BOD at last nights meeting was no different than the preceding years, "gosh how will we address this"? They were clueless, and offered no real solutions to a problem that anyone could have seen coming like a 100 car freight train.
We have a lovely community with wonderful people. Our developer had great vision but didn't project results through culmination. They failed to consider what happens when people are added to the dream they created on paper.
Some solutions were suggested last night. I hope the BOD will act appropriately and expeditiously this year and realize that the people coming to the community to use the amenities are not those that will buy a home. Whatever they offer to solve the problem will be a homeowner cost. Kennecott Land takes no responsibility for their mistakes and misjudgment once the project is built.
