<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As you all may know, the North
Hampton Homeowners Association Board of Directors has been deeply involved in
preparing restated governing documents (Covenants and By-Laws) to present to
the membership for vote. A team of 8 homeowners have reviewed the
proposed language presented to us by our attorneys, and made changes where
necessary to keep the “</span><span style='color:#1F497D'>s</span><span
style='color:#1F497D'>pirit” of the documents very close to what exists
now. Over 140 man hours have went into the documents review.
We expect to mail the documents to the homeowners for vote in the
next few weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have thought long and hard
about sending this email, because it contains personally identifiable
information in it. I finally decided that it was ok to send it based on
1) The members names are listed in the membership directory & 2) it
is obvious to everyone who enters or leaves the neighborhood that there is a
severe issue with the particular home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I believe that it is important
that the membership knows that your </span><span style='color:#1F497D'>B</span><span
style='color:#1F497D'>oard is taking its responsibilities seriously, and is
trying to correct the problem. The main issue is that the </span><span
style='color:#1F497D'>B</span><span style='color:#1F497D'>oard’s ability to
correct the problem is severely constrained by the existing covenants.
The new documents (if approved by 2/3<sup>rd</sup> of the members) will correct
this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Please see the email chain below

attorneys response. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Please keep issues like this in

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Unfortunately,
your covenants were so poorly written that they are the only ones I have ever
seen, which do not contain a provision for ‘Right of Entry and
Abatement’. Normally, an association would have the right to maintain the
Lot and assess any expenses against the owner. Your covenants do not have
these types of provisions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I hope that this email finds you well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We need your guidance on how to address an issue in the
neighborhood. We have a home, 24 North Hampton Drive, owned by John and
Margaret McIntosh, that has been abandoned. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have attempted to contact the homeowners through regular
and certified mail to ask them to maintain their property. Simply put,
the front is completely overgrown and an eyesore. It is negatively
impacting the neighborhood.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have received no response to our communication, and they
have not picked up the certified mailing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What should our next steps be to get this issue corrected?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please find attached a copy of the letter sent to the
homeowners.<o:p></o:p></p>
