Keep in mind that when the are working with you on a solution, they have to find a solution that can be duplicated for the same problem later on. In other words, go into the meeting asking for all to find a suitable solution. We have others who have been defient and tried to bully us to do it exactly their way with no regard to the covenents and their niehboors, and because we are very careful about what we do and how it relates to the law, they don't get their way since there was no inbetween for them. We have had folks that want the rules bent and try hard to please everyone, and it works well. Be as nice as possible, and try to find a solution for all rather than just saying "I want it my way all the way". The Board and the ACC are separate with no overlapping members, and the Board only gets their information of the situation from the ACC unless they take the time to do some research.Ģ: Make an appointment with the board to discuss the issue. Typically the ACC is the one that asks for your actions to change, but if it gets to the point of fines because you don't follow the requests, the Board has to enforce it. It's a great way to make enemies of people you don't even know!ġ: If you are getting letters, someone in the hood does not like your boat there, and the ACC is getting complaints, which is causing the action of the letters and the fines.

If anyone can help me clear up this issue it would be much appreciated. Since I deal with high level contracts, I can usually understand any legal verbage used, however I'm not quite sure I fully understand the intent of the 2nd paragraph. It appears they are interpreting the covenants in the way they would like for them to read verses the true intent of the covenant. However they still say I'm in violation of the covenants although the way I interpret the covenants I'm not in violation. I have convinced them of late that I'm not in violation of the Gwinnett County Codes.
HOA COVENANTS CODE
However, my HOA has been giving me some grief over it for several years now in terms of sending me letters informing me that I'm in violation of Gwinnett County Code and the subdivsion covenants and now all of a sudden they are attempting to fine me.

I live in Lawrenceville which is in Gwinnett County and store my boat in my driveway, of which is fine according to Gwinnett County Code.
