Connestee's Deep Pockets

Connestee residents will soon vote, if they haven’t already through proxy, on an estimated ten million dollar clubhouse and wellness center not including all the amenities.  A few hundred dollars added to our already close to $2,500 yearly assessment is no problem provided that you don’t consider the assessments that have not been proposed.  The website clearly states that we are a Master Plan Club Membership.  What else is there in store for residents?  All the clever propaganda to enforce the board’s control won’t influence those residents who are intelligent and know that this is just the beginning of their intended growth for this subdivision and multiple special assessments.

There is only silence when mentioning the hundreds of vacant lots that Connestee owns that can be sold to assist in necessary building, improvements and maintenance.    The board needs to wake up and decide whose team they are supporting.  Is Connestee going to require that we pay for a luxurious golfer’s resort for the next generation to enjoy?  OR, can we all benefit by voting NO to the Clubhouse and Wellness proposal and discuss abolishing the existing bylaws and establish common sense rules and regulations that will give the members more control.    

If you have already voted “yes” through proxy, think about reversing your vote.  This is only the beginning of their deep pocket plan.  Now, most projects under a million dollars don’t require our votes.   Be prepared for more “silence” when you ask at the next board meeting when to expect the next special assessment.  It is all in the plan.

  1. I am considering buying a home in Connestee Falls, however I have heard so much conflict as to the HOA and different fees. I also am afraid of the potential increase in fees and HOA costs. As beautiful as the area sounds the potential buyer is wary due to the on-going feedback we get through realtors and owners. Is there a cap that we can get guaranteed for future HOA. We want to retire and do not wish to worry about rising costs each year. How is the voting going for exclusion of the new club house and wellness center? Have the board considered a cap on the fees. $2500 seems quite high, especially if the amount continues to increase with each new year.
    I would like the honest concerns the present residents have and what can be done to secure the fee issues.
    Thank you
