Resident raises HOA, waterway concerns over Lot 11 building permit; village attorney clarifies role
Summary
A resident urged caution on a proposed building permit for Lot 11 on Fawn Ridge Lane, citing HOA covenants and risks to waterways; Village Attorney Alster said the village issues permits based on code compliance but restrictive covenants must be enforced by lot owners or the HOA.
Donny Stanton told the board he had spoken with Lonnie Merritt and is concerned about homeowners on Fawn Ridge Lane building in ways that "disrupt the water ways." He urged the Village to consider Homeowners Association covenants before issuing permits.
Village Attorney Alster told the board the village and the HOA have separate authorities. "The Village issues permit based on our requirements and if required plans meet them, we issue the permit," Alster said, adding that restrictive covenants remain enforceable by lot owners or the HOA and that proceeding solely on a building permit may be "at [the homeowner's] risk." The board did not take a formal vote on the Lot 11 permit at this meeting.
