Yesterday the LPHOA attorney received a letter from Mr. Pacula’s attorney requesting we not perform any landscaping activity on his corner.  As unfortunate as this is, until this suit is settled, the board would not want to do anything further to upset this neighbor.  I have included the letter to be posted on our website for your review.   What I think this action does say is that the homeowners association MUST pursue this legal action until some definitive decision is made.  If we are unable to maintain the four corners to a standard we have come to expect; the first impression of our community and reflection of the basic value of our property, then we can assume that the consistent and long standing resale value of our homes could be compromised.   So come out tomorrow, even for a few minutes and let’s plant flowers on 3 corners.

The average sales price per square foot on a Deed Restricted Neighborhood is $108.64, Verses an average of $96.78 in a Non-Deed Restricted Neighborhood when comparing similar style single family homes.

What does this mean?

Based on an average home of 2,000 square feet, this translates into almost $12 more per square foot, more for a home in a deed restricted community  or $23,720 more than a home in a Non -Deed Restricted Community.

What does this mean to the homeowners of Lake Park Estates?  A compelling case to maintaining deed restrictions and enhance the value of our homes.
