This is a follow up to required covenants and restrictions, I have heard from a few people who still don't agree with the recorded rights and building requirements. We had a statement in our documents that stated the owner would be responsible for any road repairs needed because of construction on their lot. Of course this was put to the test when a track machine (bull dozer with metal tracks) was unloaded on the newly paved road. It cause enough damage that a patch had to be done by a professional paving company. In our area we have rough winters and water and ice in this damaged area would have eventually caused a pot hole, and been a danger to the kids that ride their bikes. As you might guess the owner blamed the contractor- but the owners association said we understand that you would like to have him do the repair, and you should pursue that BUT our bi-laws run with the property and are referenced in everyones deed. So we don't care how it gets fixed, but it's your issue. Why should a neighbor have to look at the damaged road, or avoid the pot hole, and what do you think a plow would do to the rough surface after a few years.

Share your Thoughts, I'm sure you have had people grouse about this kind of thing too.
