I agree with all of the negative comments listed. I found it interesting how CCM pieces different parts of our covenant together to give them authority wherever they see fit. Apparently a secretary in their office can also be deemed an architect when it suits their fancy. What I wonder, is if they really take the time to send out inspectors or if they are going off the complaints of one unhappy neighbor with nothing better to do than cause unnecessary trouble. I appreciate the time and effort my board puts into my community. I appreciate that my community has a covenant. The covenant that we have isn't unreasonable, but CCM tries to play off semantics and they like to argue that since other neighborhoods have this rule then mine should have it too. They need to mind their own business and stop trying to force new rules and make trouble. The issue that I and several neighbors have are with the demanding and rudely written correspondance we receive from CCM. When I recently requested a copy of our covenants, I was told to look on my neighborhoods website; we don't have a website. After searching the web, no where were my communities covenants published. They sent out a letter saying that they were going to start fining us without sending a warning because of the cost associated with stamps, but I ask, what is so expensive about picking up the phone and making a phone call or sending an email? I am sure they have a file going on me and to no fault of my own. For instance, I received a notice for parking a car in the street in front of my house, but there were no cars parked in my driveway at that time. Normal reasoning would suggest that my driveway is getting blocked by someone else...perhaps the neighbor next door with all of the cars is responsible? And yet nothing is said to deal with the real problem. I am aggravated and, on top of that, I get a nasty gram from them! CCM has little class in my book and it would benefit us all if they would just close down. I too am looking for a new home; before I will consider a neighborhood, I ask if CCM is managing the HOA; sadly that is one of my determining factors. I feel for everyone who writes their complaints here. For those that can't help but toss their daggers at the concerned citizens venting on this board, I encourage you to move into a neighborhood managed by CCM. It won't be long before you too are singing these tunes.
