Dear Fellow Homeowners



Last week, I sent you a letter in support of recalling the Board. As a result, I have received numerous responses and inquiries, especially from those who don’t live here. I also gave out my e-mail address. Surprisingly, landscape was not the #1 inquiry, it was litigation.

For whatever good reason, I understand some of you would like to contact me, and have requested my telephone number. Since management is not allowed to give out homeowners’ phone numbers or e-mail addresses, here is my cell phone number---(619) 300-1526. You may call me for any reason. I only ask that you call me after 6:00 p.m. when I leave work.

Also, although I am technologically challenged, I have managed (with some help) to put up a blog site. If you wish, go to http://seascapesur-election.blogspot.com. It is an open site. Post a comment. Ask a question. Start a dialogue. Write anything you like…about any topic.  Maybe we can eventually change the name too.

Additionally, everyone agrees that the Tidings is a wonderful idea. However, like any brochure type medium, it has limited purpose. It was great to see the latest Tidings finally be more specific about our water restrictions. It is now crystal clear to all of us that government mandated water restrictions are not the reason behind the sudden push for major landscaping changes.

So now that we know a major landscaping overhaul is not required, then why are we paying so much money for a landscape architect? Especially, since we have been told we already have a plan. And why did we pay so much money for a previous landscape architect? Do we even need a new look?  Maybe you think we should have the right to vote on it after full disclosure. I do. It is why I bought into the complex with the “lush, verdant look”. These are questions, not answers.    

On a side note…I wrote in my last letter that the Board would probably set the recall on August 1 (which is the maximum time allowed by California law) in order to “clean up the place” for the election. It looks like the clean up work has already begun.

For example, some of the homeowners who signed the recall petition have been contacted by Board members, or advisory committee members, offering “clean up”. Although I have not been contacted, I am the beneficiary of that “special treatment”. The first “phase” of  “clean up the place” is along the driveway; the most obvious. It is also where I live.

For me personally, what benefits the complex as a whole benefits me. Otherwise, I don’t want special treatment. What do you think?

Regards,

Martin Schmidt
