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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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. : )<o:p></o:p></p>

<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>
<p class=MsoNormal>Roger<o:p></o:p></p>
