Obviously we have an issue with a few properties in Creekside that have been abandoned either due to foreclosure or an impending foreclosure. As can be seen in the picture, maintenance is being neglected at these homes and it is becoming an eyesore.
The Creekside Board would like to ask for your patience in dealing with these properties. There is a formal violations process that is being followed that gives Creekwood the right to remedy the properties. It takes about a month and a half to complete. A home on 72nd Ct. E. recently completed the full process and your Creekside President is pushing the Creekwood Master Board to take action in addressing this situation. Other properties are currently in process as well. Simultaneously in August, AMI contacted the Manatee County Code Enforcement division to look at these homes. The latest word from County Code is they were added to a 6 page long list of homes in the county needing mowing due to the foreclosure crisis.
If we do not have some action soon, Creekside may have to absorb the cost of periodic maintenance of the properties. There is a possibility of reimbursement of such expenses, but that has a slim likelihood. Before we take such steps, the Creekside Board would like to hear from Creekside homeowners. Please come to the Creekside Town Hall & Pot Luck on Oct. 11th to share your opinion or post a comment now on the Creekside Message Board.
