Lake Sherwood HOA

We have owned our home for 33 years at this address. We have followed the regulations given to us when we purchased the home that are the HOA’s rules and regulations.

Our home is located on a curve of the street, Brookwood Drive. It makes backing out of the driveway extremely dangerous due to limited visibility on both sides-north and south directions. To further the danger, the drivers speed down the street at all hours! We have asked the city and have signed petitions to have speed bumps added to our street. I am sure the HOA has been made aware of this as well. Nothing as been done. Just this week, I noticed a street further east that has had speed bumps put down on their street. Of course, part of that street lines a wealthy section of homes. Maybe that makes a difference. I hope not. Speed bumps need added to our street before children are hurt or accidents happen.

The next thing is our HOA dues have increased at least $400 since we bought the house and we have not seen what the HOA has done for any of the home owners.

We repainted our home about 4 or 5 years ago and submitted our colors to the board. We expected an answer within 6 weeks. No answer so I started calling after finally getting a number to call. Another 4 weeks passed before I got an answer and I found out that the board of 4 never did vote on it but 3 did and then the person I had been talking with voted for us too. This is not how it should be taken care of. I know of 3 other families that didn’t even bother with submitting their house colors to the board for approval. The colors should have been approved though.

There is no consistency in our HOA that I see.
Thank you.
