CDD, Follett and Management Ousted Jeff Salvin

Margo told part of the truth when she said the reason she wanted a new chairperson was because she got a phone call from the Folletts requesting her to do that. Remember Keith Stevens, Margot husband works for the management. Scott Owens said he also received a phone call. Was his call from his boss the developer/management company, or from his employee-Barbara Follett? And who called Jake? The management sure did its job, money talks, get rid of Jeff Salvin. I have a feeling that money was involved here so Larry Maxwell doesn't have to pay for the road repair. They wanted to stall for time. We have till May to take action.

The important part of this is that the trio spent their time rearranging the board instead of discussing how the defective roads would impact the community and instead of taking prompt action to protect the homeowners by hiring a lawyer to begin to prepare a suit. Perhaps they should have been voting to put out RFPs just in case they might need to change the management company (CDD now pays them over $1,000,000 a year)in the case of unresolved road issues.
Just for the record-the HOA changes their officers each time they have an election also. They just happen to have an election every year.
Interesting how people can twist the truth for their own benefit isn't it?

A letter from a resident

The HOA Board of Directors re-elects its officers each year. The question to the CDD Board of Supervisors was why don't they do the same thing. That simple question caused the chain of events that occurred at the Jan. 8 CDD meeting. The CDD attorney advised that the CDD Board officers could be renominated for their same positions. Which means that John Chickness, Jake Eaton, Margot Stevens, and Scott Owens (or any other CDD Board member) could have nominated Jeff Salvin to be chairman, but they did not. Jeff Salvin is still an engineer with the same expertise, whether he's the CDD Board Chairman or not, and I would hope that since he's still a member of the CDD Board of Supervisors he will continue fighting for the good of the community. It becomes very difficult to over ride the entire CDD board on any issue. It is now Jeff and John.

A letter from a resident

I have lived here at Lake Ashton for less than 1 year. When I purchased here, I was never informed of any of the battles I know see going on within the community starting with the ..
Developer, Roads, Mx Communication, Bowling Alley, Chinese Dry Wall, Boat Docks,Bingo, Golf Course Privleges etc etc etc...but I am learning. TOO SLOWLY..

I am confused and appalled by the actions of the HOA board for not taking action years ago regarding the MX communications issue, as well as the illegal actions taken by MR PONTIOUS giving money to other than Charitable Institutions from a weekly 50/50 drawing.

I am confused by the CDD board members ....Margo Stevens, Jake Eaton, Scott Owens for disrupting the community by removing the Chairman , when that would / could have been done in November....But I am learning.

Finally....I do see the Lake Ashton is RUN by the ACTIVIIES DIRECTOR Tricia Adams here. I also feel they feel this is THEIR COMMUNITY and not that of the residents who pay their salarys.

I am sorry for venting, but had I know these things prior to purchasing what I thought my Last Home here.. I would be living elsewhere.

Now you ask...Why dont your Leave ??
My Answer....My home is being placed up for sale.

Margot Stevens has a vacant home

Margot, you have a empty Home and we all know how much you love it here and the residents, why don't you offer your home to one of the residents who has Chinese drywall or are you just talk. They need a place to live Margot, and your place is empty! What is your excuse? Please explain this at the next CDD meeting. I cannot imagine you knocking on my door asking me to call the police if I saw anyone digging up the road to get core samples. What the hell is wrong with you calling the police? I know you was involve in calling the police on me because you thought I had a AK47, well, you still don't know. Margot, please stay home and knit, you are just a joke on the CDD board and we are all laughing at you. We all know you conspired with Jake for taking Jeff title as president. You are a eye sore to this community, and you don't even have facts right. Step down Margot and let someone who knows what is going on take over. Give me a break. Go have lunch with Joe Hunter, Mr "Do Nothing"

Homes

There were more than one resident that gave a home to another. Larry Maxwell has many homes, but he is too cheap to offer any. These people have Chinese Drywall in their home and must move out. Larry Maxwell refuses to let these people move in any of them. You should know by now how cheap this guy is. His phone is still off the hook.

This is the turth

It was disturbing to me to see how Ms.Stevens and Mr.Eaton handled themselves in the removal of Mr. Salvin. It was very obvious that this was pre-arranged. Ms.Stevens knew in advance what the rules were regarding election terms. Who is she fooling? This whole thing was planned in advance of the CDD meeting.

Big mess out there

Thanks go out to the present Homeowners Association Board Members for attempting to support timely action on the road issue. Back in June it was thought that the roads were deteriorating due to heavy construction vehicles. Now the CDD engineer tells us the roads have construction defects. That is right-- They were built defectively! No wonder no one wanted them inspected.
Why are we continuing to let Mr. Schreiber control our actions? He has had plenty of time to make things right. Why is the CDD board letting him delay and avoid his responsibility to the road until it is too late for homeowners to go to court? Unfortunately some of the CDD Supervisors are not listening even to the homeowners association.....
Does anyone recall this letter?

THIS LETTER WAS POSTED ON A ANOTHER WEB SITE AND IS 50% WRONG.
The CDD wanted the roads inspected and got them inspected twice. The first time the core diggers screwed up but the CDD got it right the second time around. The CDD under Jeff Salvin tried to have the roads corrected, but Jake Eaten, Margo Steavens and Mark Schreiber wanted no part of it. They are all partners with Larry Maxwell. The HOA president Mr White wants no part of the Road problem and the MX. He must be replaced. Jeff Salvin and I was there watching them take road samples but you did not see Ronald White, Margo, Jake or Schreiber there. Why? because they love the Management. We must get Jeff Salvin back his seat as President of the CDD. Jake Eaten does nothing, which is spelled with an O. Zero He must be replace. All he will say we will look into it. Two meetings ago he was not there and they hook him up with a phone, he fell asleep. you could hear him sleeping. This guy is an actor, cop by trade. He should ride around this community in the new Sheriff car. This is all he can do, he doesn't call me back, because he doesn't have the answer.
