When my wife and I moved into this subdivision in South Carolina, along side the new home that was all ready built, was a drainage easement ditch (15' X 100') starting from the back of our home to a retention pond on another lot that has a home on it. We were told that the drainage easement would be maintained by the HOA. The majority of the length of the drainage easement is half way on our property. The builder and his realtor called a meeting to set up an HOA the other night. At the meeting the builder told us that the common areas would be the front of the subdivision and the retention pond. He would not include the drainage easement like he said. Now we are told that my wife and I have to maintain half of the drainage easement all by ourselves and not the HOA. The reason that the builder wants to start an HOA right now is because he wants to sell the home that has the retention pond on it. The people that are interested in that home will not buy it unless the HOA as a whole will maintain the pond. CAN ANYONE HELP?
