Thank you Mrs and Mr Hotz

Submitted by a resident:

Just a note of thanks to Mrs and Mr Hotz for their selfless dedication to Venetia. We’re so fortunate in Venetia … we get a twofer … Mrs Hotz is the President of the entire Association and Mr Hotz is subservient to her as the President of the single family homes association and he leads the Architectural Review Committee. We save so much time and bureaucratic rigamarole placing all that accountability in a wife-husband team! It’s like the bucket-full of money busy-bee volunteers have saved in erecting new security gates – but much, much more. Not that they’re anything alike – but remember when Evita and Juan Peron ran Argentina together – think off all red tape they must have cut through on behalf of the Argentines. Who needs countervailing views of unattached parties when making decisions affecting others? What a waste of time and energy having different, uninvolved people managing Venetia -- when a married couple, wife and man, can do it together! Sort of feels like I’m part of a “Family” … makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.

Specifically, let’s recognize Mrs Hotz for the way she managed Washingtonian Palms removal (she signed the contract with Mizel.) That was, and continues to be, just one of many ringing successes – take a look at the Woodmere entrance and the sparse young palms on the ersatz bluff. Compare that picture with the tall and lush stand of mature Washingtonian Palms that once graced, but were removed, from that precipice. At least now, Mr Hotz doesn’t have to run off pesky brides who want wedding pictures taken there. Who wants young brides and grooms in white gowns and tuxedos from who-knows-where invading “Our Very Own Piece of Paradise” as Mr Hotz puts it on his Venetia Neighborhood One website (brought to you by Lakeside Studios – owned and operated by Mr Hotz).

We also need to thank Mr Hotz in his two (VNA One – ARC) hats for identifying and pursuing “Hawthorne Bush Weed Removal” violations. What could be more important than removing errant weeds from hawthorns around the oak trees? For example – take a short drive on Corso Venetia Boulevard - I call it the “Boulevard of Dreams” -- sort of fits in with Mr Hotz’s “… Piece of Paradise” theme. The house at 4315, abandoned for over two years now -- rundown, overtaken by weeds and overgrown is an eyesore as well as a drag on nearby property values. In my opinion; proactive care of abandoned homes in “Our Very Own Piece of Paradise” isn’t worth the weighty attention of Mrs and Mr Hotz when compared to the devastating effect of a takeover by weeds in the hawthorn bushes. Their ability to prioritize and focus on the things that matter most … maintaining and increasing our property values -- is but one of the many, many strengths Mrs and Mr Hotz graciously lend to Venetia. May they, together, administer Venetia in good health for decades to come.

In closing; thank you Mrs and Mr Hotz for everything you do for us – the members of the “Family” that live in “Our Very Own Piece of Paradise.”
