The board just informed us that the lien is officially removed and our backyard can stay exactly as it is. I am crying tears of relief because my kids finally have a safe place to play without the threat of losing our home hanging over us. You saved our family …

Hello Neighbors,
The photo below shows the back of my family's home at 422 Bartram Trail Club Drive. The retaining wall was added in order to give a us a yard where we could have normal family activities . Before wall was built, the downward slope was so severe we had no backyard at all and no way possible to have any type of family activities.
The purpose of this petition is my family needs your help. The HOA is threatening to put a $25,000 lien on our home because the wall is over 4 feet tall. We are just asking for a variation to this covenant. We honestly did not know the restriction and certainly was not aware we needed approval from HOA. We did get approval from the county and soil was tested by CSRA Soil conservation before project was started. We also paid an engineering fee to assure it was built correctly.
If we can get a signature from 70% of the home owners in Bartram Trail, we stand a good chance of saving our backyard without spending any more money. Please help by signing this petition and feel free to come by if you have any questions.

I have been going door to door to answer questions and explaining why this wall matters so much for my kids to have a safe place to play. The stories I hear from other neighbors about their own run-ins with the board show that these rigid rules are affecting many of us. I am still waiting for the HOA to respond to my request for a meeting.

Seeing this level of support from my own neighbors has moved my family to tears. This momentum gives us real hope that we might actually be able to keep our home safe from these heavy fines.

Hopefully this is resolved. I certainly think that the wall compliments the landscape and is an added attraction for the golfers!
I live across the street from this home and found it to be a visual improvement.
The Wall is very attractive and the HOA needs to GRANT this Variance... please don’t punish our neighbors who maintain their property..focus on the ones who are not! Just my Opinion!
The fact that the builders didn’t build the retention wall in the first place is enough reason to sign this petition. They should have done that for all the houses and threatening you with a fine for a perfectly built wall to increase the value and usability of you home is a no brained!
I am in favor of the variance. This is not a wall blocking a view or obstructing a line of sight.
It’s looks wonderful!
Wall is very impressive. A Plus!

1002 Kalmia Circle The wall is beautiful and so nicely done. It only improves the view from the golf course.
