From the Presidentby Henry Puckett, CMCA, AMS, Ghertner & Company
It is hard to believe that the year is coming to an end. Over the years I have belonged to a number of trade associations in
my lifetime, and this is the most active and involved group I have ever had the opportunity and privilege to be a member of. From the luncheons with an average of 95 members and guests at each meeting to the overwhelming support for this year’s charity, Safe Haven Family Shelters, the support and atten-dance is still to me overwhelming. I would like to thank the Board and committee members who helped make this year such a success, and who without even being asked stepped up took the initiative and made it the successful year it has been. I would also like to thank all our annual sponsors, who without their support many of the projects and events the association has held this year would simply not be possible. I would also like to offer a special thanks to Sherry Jones and Faye Ellis, our executive administrative staff, who have handled the day-to-day operations which we all would be at a loss without. As we enter into 2015, Mr. John Hensley will take the lead as President of the Tennessee Chapter and is planning for another successful year as well. I am look-ing forward to another great year in 2015 under John’s leadership. Thank you all for a great 2014. l

What Happens Now?by Scott D. Weiss, Esq., Weiss & Weiss
A homeowner has made an improvement to his prop-erty in violation of the governing documents. The Association Manager and the HOA attorney have mailed notice letters but the homeowner still refuses to comply. What happens now? Most HOA governing documents include a provision requiring all owners to submit a written request to the board of directors or an Architectural Committee (“ARC”) appointed by the board of directors, to erect or install improvements to the exterior of their property, including a description, location and materials to be used for the improvement, prior to installation of the improvement. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure continuity with the common plan or scheme of the subdivision; to prevent the installation of improvements which will contrib-ute to a decrease in property values; to prevent potential conflict between neighbors; and to ensure the improve-ment does not encroach upon any of the common areas. Associations must strictly enforce these restrictions against owners who choose not to comply, but who instead install improvements without obtaining written approval from the board or ARC. Failure of a board to strictly enforce these restrictions will set a precedent for all owners and future owners to make improvements without written approval, which could lead to a subdivision which
looks more like a multicolored patchwork blanket than a manicured subdivision, and which could prove impossible to enforce in the future. Most HOA governing documents also provide remedies for violations of this type, and many Associations have adopted written notice and fine polices which outline how to address such violations. If the HOA and its attorney have complied with these remedies and policies and the owner refuses to comply, the only remaining remedy may be for the HOA attorney to file a petition for injunction seeking a court order requiring the owner to comply. If the owner continues to remain non-compliant even after the court-ordered injunction, the owner may be held in contempt of court and could be subject to steep fines and other remedies that the court may choose to impose until the owner brings his property into compliance with subdi-vision standards.
A community association is suffering increased expenses due to use, damage and liability of its swimming pool, playground and other amenities caused by non-association members. The association board is also getting com-plaints from homeowners demanding that something be done about the frequent abuses of parking restrictions and violations by tenants of homeowners. The board wants to know what can be done…“What Happens Now?” l
