Due to the condition of the timbers in the flood plain drainage area in our community the Devonshire HOA board has been considering removing and replacing the timbers with landscaping blocks at a cost of $300,000. That cost is to be divided among the one hundred units paying dues in the form of a special assessment ($3000 per unit). This proposal is costly and more than likely have to be replaced in time.

After communicating with the village civil engineer it was determined that there is no requirement for any retaining walls of any sort. We could just let mother nature do her thing and fill those areas in with her own natural beauty for free. The only cost incurred would be the removal of the timbers as they slowly deteriorate.

Please sign the petition to let the Devonshire HOA know that you do NOT support replacing the timbers with landscaping blocks.
