Colonial Village: Single Family Residences or Group Homes?

I agree with all your statements. I have two of these homes right around me and UCIP does NOT maintain these properties and homes as a regular home owner would. It is time to address this. There are several real estate agents who cater to UCIP and make them aware of offerings in Colonial Village. This should be addressed also. I understand businesses making money, but it is lowering all of our property values because of houses being sold at lower than current market values so family estates can be done with the selling of the home. Have an appraisal done of your home as I had and see how much it has dropped in the last 6 years. It was a shock to me.

As taxpayers we support these individuals through funds that go to HHS. As taxpayers we should have a say in appropriate housing. Do the renovations meet all ADA requirements?

Commercial activity is not appropriate in any structure that has been designed as a single family residence. The recent fire tragedy in Erie was the direct result of operating a commercial activity (day care) in what was built as a private family home. Necessary safety equipment was not in place even though a license had been issued. Not only does the township take on liability by endorsing such projects, but it also runs the risk of making all of our guidelines unenforceable by manipulating the covenant.

How can we find out who the potential buyer is ahead of closing to determine if sale is to a group home. If we decide after discovering buyer is a potential group home, who pays the legal fees to fight it. Does the agreement we signed stand upon closing stand in court?

We do not agree with the premise of Group Homes in Colonial Village of Cornplanter Township.

We purchased our home as our retirement home. We do not want any group homes here. We were told all homes here were single family homes. This has to be stopped.

I purchased my home 4 years ago. It was in my contract. I am definitely opposed.

I have a better idea and hear me out. People could just mind their own business? I know, I know it's a crazy idea but perhaps, maybe, we could go that route?

Definitely opposed to group homes.

We agree completely

I purchased my home three years ago thinking that all the homes in Colonial Village were single family homes. I bought my house mainly because of the quiet, family oriented neighborhood and low crime rate. I also was drawn to this community because everyone takes care of their personal property. I am not in favor of incorporating group homes-no matter what type-in my neighborhood.

We already have one, no more
