HOA is CCMC... dues are $285.00 quarterly.

After reading some of these comments I feel that I need to set the record straight regarding the angel on my porch... Before closing on my home I disclosed to the sales staff that I intended to put the angel on my porch and was told that there would be no issue with it as there were no design guidelines in place yet, and so anything I did to the exterior of my home would be grandfathered. I did not, for one moment, believe that the statue would cause so much animosity in the neighborhood. It certainly was not my intention to evoke anger amongst my neighbors. I just feel that I was given misinformation before purchasing my home that is now causing me a hardship, and apparenty others in the neighborhood. The statue does have meaning to me, and due to the weight of it, it cannot simply be moved. And so I am now in the process of trying to sell the statue. I hope that the neighbors that find it offensive will be happier once it is gone. However, I am saddened at the nature of the comments that have been made, such as I am a joke in the neighborhood because I happen to have a statue of an angel on my porch. Angels usually are inspirational, and in speaking with numerous neighbors personally I have found that most of them are supportive in my keeping it. I have lived in two other Master planned communities before moving here and no one complained about it. So you see, I am surprised that there have been complaints here. I love my home and want very much to have positive relationships with my neighbors... it is why I moved here.
Also, I want everyone to know that I personally did not make a comment regarding the $100,000 decline in our home values. It is a misquote, and I have requested a retraction...
All the best to everyone... your neighbor with the angel.
