- This petition is for Oakbridge Corporation, the entity that owns the common areas and developing areas of the master-planned community known as Harpers Mill in Chesterfield, Virginia.
- The homeowners and purchasers of homes being built in Harpers Mill (hereinafter known as "we") desire to live in a community with amenities such as parks, trails, pools, etc.
- Many communities in the Greater Richmond area have been developing amenities to attract home purchasers and remain competitive.
- Recently a community in Henrico, Virginia known as River Mill built a park that has a pavilion, outdoor kitchen, large fire pit, hammock garden, lighted trails, and on site bathrooms.
- We believe Harpers Mill should have a park similar to this one built in a common area.
- Further, we believe amenities such as a park of this stature along with trails and other amenities are necessary to ensure our home values stay competitive.
- Further, we believe amenities such as parks, trails, another pool, splash parks, etc. are necessary for Harpers Mill to become the desirable neighborhood as advertised.
- Further, Harpers Mill advertises on signs in the community, its website, and its brochure that it will have amenities such as trails, parks, and a splash park.
- Further and to clarify, we do not ask in this petition that Harpers Mill build a park similar to the one described above instead of or in substitution of a second planned pool or second planned clubhouse.
- Further, Harpers Mill is saving funds this summer by closing its pool in response to the Governor's Executive Orders.
- The saved funds should be used for building advertised amentiies, such as pools or trails.
- We believe a second planned pool, second planned clubhouse, and second planned playground are necessary for a master planned community of Harpers Mill's size.
- Instead, we request a park similar to the one described above be built in a planned park for Harpers Mill.
- Further, we believe that a park such as one with a pavilion, seating area, cooking area, on site bathrooms, and open space could generate Harpers Mill revenue by having the park rented out for parties and other events.
- An amenity that can generate revenue will have a lasting impact on a community and it potentially can generate enough revenue to break even or make a profit.
- Further, we believe a park similar to this one will create more of a community in Harpers Mill, giving residents a place to relax and socialize.
- Therefore, we request Oakbridge Corporation to develop and build a park similar to the one described above in Harpers Mill.

Seeing the count climb this high feels heavy given the silence we have faced from management. It is exhausting to keep fighting for promises that were made to us years ago. I am still here because I know this neighborhood deserves more than a brochure of empty claims.

We bought here with the promise of amenities such as these and we'd like to see follow through
Community needs a park where all residents have space to conduct outside activities together.
We chose this neighborhood for the promise of what was coming. Now as we understand none of it is. Whatever funds were to be utilized for these parks and paths should be put into utilization now, especially with the inability to use current amenities.
My family and I utilized the advertising of amenities such a miles of trails, pools, bike trails, parks (more than 1), dog park, and other amenities as a huge factor in our home building decision. To learn that there were minimal and these were “proposed plans” were a significant disappointment. This is a huge family and financial investment and one that you can’t quickly reverse. If these plans are proposed to be finished in 10 years my young children will miss them and be grown, which in hindsight would have altered our buying and building decision ultimately. This is walking the line of false advertising to say “we have” instead of “we project to have in 10 years.”
We bought in Harpers Mill because of the advertised trails, parks and pool. We were disappointed to learn that there were no trails, 1 park, and 1 pool that is said to be terribly overcrowded during the summer. I do believe we were sold on false information.
Please don’t ignore. Make plans and action priority to implement to changes we are requesting!

These are all the things that we were promised when we bought our house two years ago. We have only seen more houses being built with no development of these amenities. Many of us feel that we are being ignored.
