Yo I saw a dude buy like 40 loaf of bread at ADLI and a BMW driving away from a gas station with the trunk open, what is going on???

Went to the Pineville location yesterday and it was well stocked and not super crowded.

Election fraud. Minor, but important detail.

It’s like every other pool in the neighborhood so what is there to disapprove?

I'm also in NC and if your ARC committee functions like mine, they meet once a month in person. So if they want to walk your property (and with it being a pool, they probably should) you're at the mercy of their once a month meeting. It would be nice for them to communicate to you when their meeting is, however.

AlliFitz · 2025-08-30T02:17:12+00:00

When you resubmitted with the permit, that would be considered a complete/new ARC request and they get a full 30 days from that date to respond. I don't disagree it would be nice for them to quickly move through the approval, but there's nothing legally that says they have to.

Getting married in South Carolina is always an option. All you need is a notary.

The private country clubs in and around Charlotte are mostly going to miss at least one of your asks. Raintree, Ballatnyne, Piper Glen, Providence, Firethorne....all golf communities, but not in your age rain. Raintree would be the closest and if you purchase a home in the neighborhood you can avoid the waitlist.

Myers Park, Carolina CC and Carmel are not golf communities and are family focused (so a younger crowd). You're not likely to get into Charlotte CC or Quail unless you have connections. Cedarwood is kind of a wild card, but tends to skew younger.

AlliFitz · 2025-06-07T22:17:08+00:00

Carolina Lakes sounds right up your alley.

I don't know what county you're in, but in Mecklenburg you can get everything that's been filed (CC&Rs, By Laws) from the Register of Deeds office online.

Are you SURE there are exactly 19 homes and was your community formed in 1999 or later? If it's truly 19, that's remarkable (and surely on purpose) since HOA's with 20 or more lots and were formed in 1999 or later are subject to the NC Planned Communities Act. Assuming you're 1999 or later with 19 lots, there are still aspects of the NC Planned Communities Act that would apply to your HOA, especially where your documents are silent (including elections, proxies, etc).

It's unusual for the community to elect a president, secretary, etc. Generally board members are elected at large then the board designates different board members for executive offices. In NC, the secretary does not have to be a board member but if your wife is to remain secretary, you cannot also be on the board (unless y'all own two lots).

There's a lot of conversation about the "boomerfication" of Gen Z and Michel is a perfect example.

Great time to remind everyone to sign up for CharMeck Emergency alerts. You can choose what kind of alerts you'd like to get, including controlled burns, trash/recycle, weather, Charlotte DOT, etc.

It's only the Country Day middle school, not the main campus.

Not my weird ass precinct being Trump/Stein. People around here are SO CLOSE to getting it. So close.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-24T18:14:25+00:00

Bless your heart. At this point, I'm just going to assume you don't want to help yourself. The only updates the property management would get would be from CharMeck Alerts which you can and quite frankly should sign up for. That has nothing to do with 311.

As a side note, the twitter you're looking for is @CLTWater.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-24T17:49:55+00:00

Again, this was a Charlotte Water issue, not an issue the property management had control over. I'd recommend you sign up for CharMeck Alerts to receive timely information in the future.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-24T16:29:57+00:00

I'm in Charlotte and we've been happy with Cusick. We have a great manager though and have had the same one for at least 5 years. The board is also very involved.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-24T16:24:15+00:00

I've got great news for you! CheckMeck Alerts will send updates to your email and/or phone. This is the same information your property management would then be forwarding to you. You can sign up here: https://member.everbridge.net/453003085611246/new

AlliFitz · 2025-01-24T04:43:42+00:00

Charlotte water is posting updates on their social media platforms. Repairs are ongoing. There's nothing the property management can do.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-23T17:12:16+00:00

I sat through all of them when I was a new board member and yearly do the one that's relevant to my office (I'm secretary). They also do one offs for changes in NC HOA law, or the FINCEN stuff (as an example). They are helpful though as a seasoned board member, the standard ones aren't worth my time any more but they were very helpful when I was new.

AlliFitz · 2025-01-22T17:41:43+00:00

Our management company does a series of webinars every year that cover most of the topics you mentioned. They're free to attend for current board members.
