10/27/2008 Update - Last night, about 6:30, the gentleman from unit 511 had his kids bouncing basketballs on the cement pad directly in front of the gate where the new sign is on the tennis court, directly opposite the girls' unit who had confronted him this past weekend. This had to be nothing but pure harassment. We really need to do something about this guy!
10/28/2008 Update - He and his wife were out playing tennis while their two children were bouncing their basketballs. [10/28 - Had a brief meeting with Amanda and Kristin this morning over this subject. She said she would ask the night security person to patrol past the tennis courts every half hour during the early part of his shift.]
11/03/2008 Update - Barb Stidd, VP Olen Properties, has informed a couple of us who have been trying to get management to enforce their policies concerning the use of the tennis courts and the bouncing and throwing of basketballs and footballs on sidewalks and around the parking areas, they are going to divide the tennis court in half and turn one of the two existing courts into a basketball court. She had directed our property manager, Amanda, to have no further discussions with tenants concerning these matters, and that all future discussions, complaints, or issues relating to these matters by tenants be directed to her.
11/12/2008 Update - I went to the office and asked Amanda if the tennis court area was now considered a playground? At first, she told me that the area was now a tennis court and basketball court. I said that last Friday there were kids riding scooters on the sidewalks outside the court and that yesterday there were 5 children playing football and running around the court chasing each other, all who were under 18 and had no adult supervision. I asked if this was now acceptable in the tennis court, especially smaller children without adult supervision. Amanda stated point blank that it was. I asked when they were going to begin construction to change the area and she stated that she thought maybe by the end of the week.
I asked how they could do this without notifying tenants and specifically proposing to change the rules and policies that are part of our lease agreements that everyone has signed. She had no answer to this question and just shrugged her shoulders. This ridiculous action, combined with unprofessional responses to the legitimate complaints presented by responsible long term residents is beyond belief. Management's failure to properly deal with this situation boarders on negligence and malfeasance and is causing many long term residents to consider leaving the property. Some complaining residents have actually been told, "If you don't like it, why don't you just move", and to encourage them to do so have actually been told that management will let them out of their leases and refund any monies due as a result of prepaid rent.
11/18/2008 Latest Update - I guess the taking down of the tennis net, removal of the net poles and the jack hemmering and digging of two big hold on each end of the court for the placement of two basket ball hoop posts is evidence enough that manaegement has subcummed to the whims of one short term tenant regardless of the effect this will have on the other tenants, many who have been here for more than 6 years.
