The Midland Boys: An Editorial
This bit of arrogance was noted in the comments section of the Hays County Roundup. “We will take the WPOA out one section at a time.” The effort has begun and several sections of Woodcreek North have been taken over by Wimberley Springs Partners, hereinafter referred to as the Midland Boys. As individual property owners represented by our peers on the WPOA board, we are here to tell the Midland Boys not to count on it.
Property owners in the affected sections have been promised there will be no increase in their yearly maintenance fee. That this is no longer the case if an owner wants to sell his property or refinance a loan. The deed restrictions that govern each section under WPOA are replaced by those of the Midland Boys when a section is taken. Has anyone been able to plow through the loose leaf note book full of deed restriction information provided by them to find out exactly what the restrictions are?
The upshot of this is that it is the Midland Boys’ attempt to mitigate the results of a poor investment by contriving to have the individual property owners’ maintenance fees become a source of income for them rather than an asset to our community as is the case with our existing Association.
We can and must do everything in our power to fight each attempt to take over our community. It “ain’t broke” and there is nothing for the Midland Boys to “fix.” Individual owners can mount petitions in each section that refuse a take over. Petition drives in sections already taken can possibly undo those take overs as well. With determination, we can keep our community’s future in our own hands and not under the control of the Midland Boys.
