Building: Coming Out From Behind the Screen


 Continued From Page 23


Maybe you live in a community with small kids or pets who make holes and paths in grass that were not intended. In these cases, it’s probably a good idea to allow turf or certain kinds of small fences. Maybe you live in a   common areas or tweak the standard of a noise violation.


It’s important not only that these walks happen regularly, but that they   when it’s dark.

People put a lot of investment into their homes and often choose to live in an association because of the community it provides. If they aren’t regularly attending board meetings, they probably don’t know who you are or what you do for them.

They may have no idea how to navigate the compliance or architectural change request processes (“What do you mean I can’t paint my door purple?”) , or how to maintain old plumbing (“In my last kitchen I always threw eggshells down my disposal”) or how to navigate dealing with a complicated neighbor (“She is a drummer – an avid one”).
