As a former Sand Creek Board member, if you have issues or getting letters go to the next meeting. They meet the 3rd Monday of the Month at the Sand Creek Community room. And I do not think the HOA is driving around in a white SUV. The board will listen to your concerns. The next meeting is August 18th 7PM.
FriggandFreya, HappyHerself and jjbird57 + 2 more reacted Agree about meeting but someone is definitely driving real slow in our neighborhood in a white SUV. Seen it too many times in the last few weeks as have others.

@sandykw :
Maybe it's a handyman driving around the neighborhood reporting things to the HOA trying to drum up business.

HOA's have WAY too much power. And not nearly enough consistency amongst them. One HOA will allow deer lease lawns, another will harass over one blade of dead grass. And just exactly how do they spend our dues? It certainly isn't used to mow the lawns of chronic violators so that folks living next door these trashy lawns aren't dealing with the constant eyesore. Why are some villages pristine and others look like a houston 3rd ward? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Fanofdogs and CatalinaKitKat reacted I have said this before on this forum, I was so surprised how fellow Sand Creek residents drive around and call the management company and report peoples yards or other issues. The HOA is not allowed to tell the residents if another person is complaining (state law). And by state law once it is reported it has to be looked at. People would complain if a back yard neighbor had lights on in their home during the night claiming it was annoyed them while sleeping.
@sandykw :
Something to also consider, it could be a realtor if there is a house for sale on your street, or close to it. They also report neighboring houses to the HOA's because they want their clients to see that the area is well kept up and nice, the presentation makes for an easier sale. I'm not in Sand Creek, but am facing the same issue, so you're not alone. There are two houses on my street for sale, and a couple around the corner from us. I feel like we are also being targeted for a few things right now, where during the year we are usually left alone. We do our best to keep things nice on our property, but there has been some nit-picking lately.

Ticagro : Agree. I'm guessing we got new board members. Lived here awhile and these are the first I've gotten in Sand Creek. My neighbor across the street received one for grass. It's where they put their Beryl pile. That area doesn't get much sun. Their yard guy put grass but it's already dying.
Ok. But haven't they been in those positions for awhile. Something has changed in the last month . Notices for grass where there has never been grass because they have no sun. They have tried to put grass there several times and it dies.
A vehicle that is in our cul de sac multiple times in a short time span. A house was for sale but sold and the realtor had a navy suv not white.

Shortly after we moved in, he called the police on us because we had a small gathering of 55 or so year old adults in the yard. On a Saturday night. At 9PM. On 4th of July weekend. You can't make this up. Shortly after that I installed a large air conditioner in the rear wall of my garage. The HOA covenants specifically mention that you can do this in a garage, as long as the unit can't be seen from the street. None of my neighbors can see it except for him. I planted bushes to completely block it from his view. It's a pretty quiet A/C unit, and I only run it a few times a year when I'm working out there in the heat. I received a complaint from the HOA about the A/C unit about a month after I put it in. Guess who? Only one neighbor could possibly see it. You got it, Mr. Saturday night. Again.
He has also complained to my very nice neighbors next to me because he could see a tiny bit of a ladder they had stored behind their garage protruding over the top of the 4 foot length of fence that they share on overlap of yards. Keep in mind that 4 feet of fence is behind Mr. Saturday nights garage. He can only see it when he walks behind his garage.
I do whatever I can to keep the peace with this guy. I make as little noise as possible. When I have company I shut everything down early. I just don't need this grief. At this stage of life I just want to live peacefully.
