<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as an FYI regarding the pool hours, they were set
this way <STRONG><EM>in the past</EM></STRONG> for two reasons...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. this pool requires about 6
hours for the whole pool to filter through the sand filter (turn
over rate) and being the high traffic pool that it is, due to its size and the
size of the neighborhood, it was thought to give it 12 hours to insure good
filtration. And also an hour to vacuum prior to opening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. when the pool hours were set we did not have
adequate lighting to let it stay open after dark.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure this will create another rash of "email
drama" but being a CPO, I thought I'd give my two cents.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi my name is Lisa Harrison And it was my daughter last night that let
time get away from her. I think it is great that home owners take time to
check up on the pool. We have been here since she was in first grade. and she
has always been respectful to others. We use to have different pool hours. it
seems that it opens later and closes early. But I understand thing change. Our
kids have been told that they will be acountable for there actions. I
stand behind keeping outsiders from using our pool. I was asked why the pool
opened so late some of the home owners would like to swim early before it gets
so hot. I am ok with what ever is desided. Once again thank you for treating
my daughter with respect. Lisa Harrison</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Neighbors,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just wanted to drop a line and say that even though we fit the
description described below AND we live on Hyatt court, it was not us at the
pool last night! Since there are only 3 families currently living
on Hyatt Court and we have two 5-year-olds, it would be easy to draw that
conclusion! Not only have we not been to the pool this year, our kids
are in bed lo-o-o-ng before 10:00 pm. : )</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides, I'm not rude, not uncooperative, and I'm very nice. ;
)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Frank and Caren Rago</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I just wanted to say that my faith in human behavior
was temporarily restored last evening.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When coming back from dinner with friends around 10PM,
we noticed someone swimming at the pool. Honestly, I figured it was
someone from outside of the neighborhood taking advantage of our amenities
which we all pay for. I walked up and said I’m sorry but the pool
closes at 9:00pm. They were very nice and apologized for letting the
time get away from them. They told me that they lived on
Centerport. I just wanted to say “Thank you” to the two ladies for
being so nice and understanding.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>At the next BOD meeting, discussion will take place due
to requests to extend the pool hours, and hopefully we can do just
that.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Why did I say my faith was temporarily
restored?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>At the same time the conversation above was going on, a
car with a Lady and 2 children pulled into the pool area. My friend
that was with us, and also a resident here in North Hampton, walked over
and told the lady , word for word, “Excuse me Maam, but the pool closes at
9:00”. She said OK.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We left and dropped our friends off at their
home. Something told me to go back by the pool. Sure enough,
the lady and 2 children were in the pool swimming. How did they get
in since I ensured the gate was closed and the lock doesn’t open from the
outside after 9:00pm? Only one way – someone had to jump the fence.
I confronted her again, after calling Walker to come over for some
backup – just in case. She was rude, uncooperative, and just plain
not nice at all. She finally said she was leaving. I asked her
if she lived in North Hampton, and she said yes, on Hyatt Court. I
asked what house and she told me that “that doesn’t matter”. I
didn’t have the energy to follow.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There goes my faith in human nature again – right down
the tubes.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Why does any of this matter?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Because when we purchased our home here, we read the
CCRs, the Bylaws, and agreed that they were a good thing to protect our
long term investment. If the rules aren’t enforced, or selectively
enforced, it can lead to invalidation of all of the rules and
covenants. Do I like all of the rules? No, I would like to see
some of them, changed. Do I abide by the rules, even the ones that I
don’t like – yes. For the reasons stated above.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m sorry for venting, but my frustration level is
getting very high. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Can someone help me understand what makes people think
that they have the right to do absolutely anything they want – rules or no
rules? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with
things like this?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It seems that 90% of the time and effort is spent on
10% of the people.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
