No thanks.
iPetitions are not representative of a "real CC&R vote" . Meaning -One house can sign this petition multiple times. (for example: one house can vote 5 times - it simply requires 5 different e-mails).
When you buy a house in Forest Highlands - you agree to the CC&Rs. You buy the house and buy into the CC&Rs. If you read the CC&R by-laws, the board doesn't make the decision to change CC&Rs, (we) the membership/home owners do. The board simply decides if a vote should take place.
Each house (850 houses ) gets ONE vote. To modify the CC&Rs requires a super majority or 561 votes to make a proposed change. Changing CC&Rs is usually well over $10,000 -$15,000 in legal fees and requires time.
A vote can't hurt anything - but it is expensive and time consuming. It probably won't pass.
I think the harassment by this 'vocal minority' toward the GM AND the volunteer, & member elected board has been beyond ridiculous.

We owners want to do whatever is necessary to maintain Forest Highlands as the quiet, lovely place it's always been.

We would certainly be willing to vote. That said, the rule changes by the board might also be effective although this might be a cleaner fix. Nothing against renters or people wanting to rent their place but it is not in the best interest of the community. A $100K decrease in your property value is the equivalent of 10 years of 10K assessments. Perception of value by potential buyers will be harmed by renting eventually. We have been members since '91, paid dues, taxes, and assessments for 10 days/year and are finally building our retirement home. This is not how we saw it going down.

Members for 27 years, and know that the founding and early members of this quality golf community's intent was never to make FH a play ground for renters! Let's fix it with a one month minimum.

If this can lead to a CC&R change, I think the bulk of the membership would be far more comfortable with renters in the community

Short term rentals do NOTHING for the benefit of our community. We have done so well as a private club, why change it?!

Andrew you refer to me as trailer park trash? I can't wait to send this info to the AZ Daily Sun and AZ Central. They will have a field day with this commentary. You all should be ashamed of your elitist behavior. Keep adding your names to this list and wait till your names get out in this community and your communities in. the valley.

This is an easy decision. We need greater management efficiency with our capital and fewer renters!

Glad someone has the balls and time to stand up to this obstinate board. Thank you for spearheading this effort. We favor no rentals, but will settle for a one month minimum. Hoping we members can reshape the current board to more align itself with the majority of members true aspirations for our community. The community we came into 15 years ago was a private gated community where the board ruled in favor of it's own members not its own interests. It doesn't feel like it anymore. Why are we paying monthly dues, large assessments and now a new $100 mandatory monthly "reserve fee" to subsidize trailer park trash...why ??

We have a home in Rocky Point as well as Forest Highlands where short term rentals create many problems for our community of Las Conchas. What has evolved for us in Rocky Point is that we will not go to our home on the holiday weekends. We do not want this to happen in Forest Highlands as well.
think we need this.
