A misrepresentation of facts . . .

Little more than one year ago, property owners were presented with a proposed amendment to the covenants that would allow the establishment of a capital contribution fee (CCF).  This was done without property owners having any advance opportunity to review the covenant language or question it’s contents.  And now, in 2020, with a newly seated board, that injustice has been repeated.

The Metamorphosis continues . . .

In the midst of many important discussions regarding the Creek nine renovation, other issues or changes taking place in this community have been understandably overshadowed.  However, recent decisions, particularly as they apply to POA cash balances and governance, warrant our attention.  After all, no single segment of Big Canoe can exist in a vacuum.
