Hi Trailmark neighbors. I am posting in hopes of getting your support. Back in March our garage door broke and we needed to quickly install a new door. We had an opportunity to update our garage door. We reviewed other doors in the area and followed some similar styles in our selection. At the time, the DRC guidelines (which have been updated recently after several homeowners have been targeted with issues in recent months ironically) only mentioned that the garage needed to have raised panels. We comply with the number of panels. Our panels are not of a complete raised nature, but are a stamped in panel that has a vertical board look to it, which wasn't against the DRC guidelines at the time. Shortly after our install, which we had to replace due to the door being broken before we received approval or denial, The HOA has indicated it is not allowed and is prohibited by DRC guidelines that were in place during that time frame.

There are a good handful of others in the neighborhood that have different styles of doors, hardware, etc. that the DRC now, after the fact and after several months and even years, indicating they are in violation. Which back in March 2020, there was no guideline disallowing the style of door we current have nor what other neighbors have also have.

Here is my ask, in September 2020 our formal hearing with the HOA Board to present evidence and community wishes (where you all come in) to ask for the decision to be overturned and allow us as a community to have these type of doors. I am asking for your support by signing the petition below.

When the appeal takes place, I will update everyone and ask for anyone interested and available to please be in attendance if you can.

Thank you so much for your support. We love Trailmark and only want to update our home that also ads value and appeal to our beautiful neighborhood.

Sincerely,

Raya Petrov
