Re: ROYAL ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
ACCOUNT #12901

Dear Board of Directors:

As we have reached an impasse regarding the issue of our home being outside of the gated community, we have consulted with our attorney. It is our belief that because our home is not located within the borders of the gate, we should be exempt of all gate related charges and monthly maintenance fees as they relate to gate maintenance.

I have spoken with Peggy Lutz, who has written to us on many occasions on behalf of the Association, and she has provided to me the vendor ledger for gate maintenance since January of 2005 until April 1, 2006. As of that date, $4,377.07 has been spent on maintaining either the entry or exit gate, both of which we do not reap any benefit of their use.

Ms. Lutz has also told me that there are between fifty-five (55) to fifty-seven (57) units within our community. If we take the median range of fifty-six (56) and divide the total amount spent on gate repair as of that date, it amounts to $78.16 per homeowner. If you take that number and divide it further into quarters, you’ll find that we have spent $19.54 on maintaining a gate that, again, benefits us in no way whatsoever.

As the Homeowners Association and Shelby Homes both maintain that it is the other party’s responsibility to move the gate to accommodate us, we believe that until either party takes responsibility to do so, we should not have to pay anything for a service that we are not equally afforded.

This is the first written inquiry regarding this matter, and to prevent further action, you must respond to this inquiry within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter. I expect that the money that we have paid towards gate maintenance since our arrival to Royal Estates in November of 2004 up until this current maintenance cycle be credited back to us in the form of a check, and I also expect our homeowner association dues be adjusted to account for a non-existent gate that we are required to pay to maintain.

Please bear in mind that I have yet to complain about the electrical lines that pass through my yard to provide power and telephone access to the gate access panel. Legally that is trespass, as you have no permission to intrude on my property in any manner, be it above or below ground.

I have enclosed the ledger that Ms. Lutz has provided to me for you to review at your own leisure. Please also make sure that Victoria Johnson, in the Accounts Receivable department of Phoenix Management, is also aware of these changes to our fee schedule, as to ensure that we no longer receive any further letters of harassment regarding unpaid fees.

Your anticipated cooperation regarding this matter is appreciated.

Yours truly,

Chulo Rodriguez
