Why should we, the residents of the single family homes, have to live under the rules which were set up by the developer and his lawyers? They don't live here, they never intended to live here, they just wrote the rules and left.
Now that the covenants need to be rewritten, why not rewrite them with rules we want to live under? The original rewrite committee spent a summer at work and presented a document with most of the unreasonable things taken out. Norman Hotz spent a winter putting the unreasonable rules and more back into the document.
Now he wants us to approve them. DON'T! Read it and demand the changes you want.
Did you know you have, by law, signed away some of your constitutional rights guaranteed by the United States government, such as Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Unreasonable Search. Did you know that the board wants to keep the right to enter your property or home anytime it wants?
Be aware, read it, demand the changes you want. In other words, Make It Reasonable.

Reflecting on the local events of inauguration day, I wrote earlier that America’s genius has an inherent exploitable flaw; one detrimental to our liberty and posterity because our culture is more concerned with declaring a war on all things God than it is to prevent the death of common-sense. In such an atmosphere, common-sense cannot be saved or even reclaimed because it had been willfully given up.
For my children’s sake, I sincerely hope I’m wrong. I hope every homeowner reads the covenant changes with a justly discriminate eye and a red pen. I hope they’re returned covered in ink and unsigned. I would love to be shown that America is alive and well and will not be stolen by anyone.
When the originally stated time expired for the new "rules" to be voted in or nulled through non-passage; Norman Hotz simply changed the time to vote for his rules to an open-ended period -- said period ended when his rules received sufficient votes to be considered approved. Was it ethical to go door-to-door encouraging people to vote for the new rules? If Hotz really wants homeowner compliance with his rules, don't you think he would not want to disenfranchise the people that adamantly opposed his rule set? I don't mind losing if a vote is democratic and ethical, but it is really disgusting to be cheated. Is this an ethical way to run a vote for anything? Would any American Citizen allow this kind of vote in the political arena? Let's say the Democrats don't get enough votes by the first Tuesday in November in 2012 to re-elect Obama; will you stand idly by as a Republican and allow the Democrats in power to extend the voting cut-off to an open-ended date until Obama's democrat thugs get enough votes by hook-or-by-crook? That is essentially what has happended in Venetia as it concerns the "vote" for the new rules. There is nothing democratic about it. We might as well live in a third world dictatorship.
Another related question - is it appropriate for Mrs. Hotz to be the president of the overall association and Mr. Hotz to be the president of the single family homes' board? Are we to believe they never discuss Association and Board business among themselves, privately and without sunshine? Ethics and democratic principles demand sufficient and necessary diversity of opinion, not to mention transparancy, in bodies that can make decisions impacting others beyond members of the board. Where these ethical principles ever considered in the new rules?
Do the Venetia boards consider ethics in any of their actions and decisions? Is there enough diveristy of opinion to keep any power hungry zealot couple from forcing their desires down our throats? The situation in Venetia is appalling and things just get worse ... everyone, including me, is becoming apathetic. The newsletter is full of crap and self-serving propaganda. The status quo continues to run amok, nothing changes and we are all, to some extent or another, getting screwed.
PS ... Hey Hotz ... on your webpage ... canopy is not spelled "canope" ... it is spelled
C A N O P Y. Good grief ... how ridiculous.
