Our community is only 12 homes. The builder created an HOA with by-laws etc. but never enforced anything and didn't turn over the HOA to the community until after 2 years.
Now the homeowners, myself included, have the by-laws etc. and the majority of the homeowners 11 out of 12 what items changed. For example:
no outbuildings, storage barns, or storage buildings made of metal shall be constructed, place, or located upon any lot. (Most people have a metal type shed)
no boats, trailers, campers are to be parked on any lot unless stored and parked in an enclosed garage with walls and/or doors on all four sides of garage. (3 home owners have boats)
it also stated the builder would pick the mailboxes but he did not and each homeowner selected their own.
Now ONLY one homeowner is being adamant about these covenants and restrictions. Everyone else agrees we the homeowners should change some of them.
My question: Since the builder wrote these and never enforced them (if you will)and now the HOA has been officially turned over to the homeowners can we change some of the articles? If so, what is needed?
Thank You for you help.
