As a new member of the Advisory Board for our HOA, I have been given the tasks of determining size and type of future amenities and traffic and safety considerations for our growing community. We started off with a developer who had 850 single family units on the plan. The new group has increased that to about 1500 mixed units.
The current amenities constructed for the original plan: 1 pool; 2 tennis courts; club house (99 persons max.) some walking trails and small water retention areas for fishing appear to be insuficient for the future. We did a survey with the current residents and got some diverse feedback. (At least 2 more tennis courts for league ability, a new club house for 300 persons; exercise rooms; expanded and heated pool; etc. What would be the best method to determine our future needs and who should pay for these expansions (HOA or Dev.)?
As for Traffic & Safety we have a 30mph posted speed limit. Many stop signs etc. and still many speeders (both residents and contractors). We have arranged with our local police dept. to enforce the limits on the main roads but they cannot be everywhere all the time. How do we make drivers adhere to the rules? Can we install "no thru traffic" signs to cut out the "short cutters"?
Should we consider a "local HOA enforcement group" to issue HOA tickets?
Any info would be appreciated.
