This is a high-level overview.
At its core, this website is about governance, transparency, and whether elected directors and homeowners have been given the full context necessary to understand recent events involving the Association.
Over time, I believe a pattern developed in which I was progressively removed from meaningful participation in Association governance after raising concerns about Board conduct, enforcement consistency, legal expenses, and transparency.
This included my removal as Board President, removal from the Architectural Committee, removal as Treasurer, exclusion from Executive Session participation, and exclusion from certain Board communications and legal information.
On May 28, 2025, I was removed as Board President. No explanation, performance concern, misconduct finding, or governance concern was provided during the meeting, despite questions from homeowners and Board members.
That event became the first major turning point.
After my removal as President, additional actions followed. I was removed from the Architectural Committee, appointed as Treasurer and then removed as Treasurer, and later excluded from Executive Session participation and related Board communications.
In my view, these actions progressively reduced my ability to participate as an elected director.
Both Alan Ayres and I were removed from the Architectural Committee despite no identified performance deficiencies or misconduct findings. The removals occurred during ongoing disagreements over architectural procedures, enforcement consistency, and committee independence.
I believe those removals were a major turning point because they removed two voices that had consistently advocated for adherence to governing documents and consistent treatment of homeowners.
Legal expenses increased substantially during this period. Homeowners were told or led to believe that I was responsible for those costs, even though many legal decisions, attorney communications, and expenditures were controlled by an Executive Committee from which I was excluded.
I believe homeowners deserve to understand who approved those expenses and what decisions led to them.
Immediately before mediation, the Association sent a community-wide email discussing claims, legal expenses, and allegations involving me.
I believe that email escalated the dispute and presented homeowners with a one-sided characterization of events without providing the full context.
My original request sought mediation and resolution, not litigation.
After mediation, I requested to return to Executive Session participation for Association business. I was told I would remain excluded unless I withdrew my claims, released the Association, and agreed not to sue in the future.
I do not believe an elected director should be required to surrender legal rights in order to participate fully in governance.
After the May 5 email, homeowners began discussing a recall. When a recall petition was submitted, concerns arose regarding whether petition signer names would be disclosed and whether that process could discourage participation.
I believe homeowners should be able to participate in Association governance without fear of intimidation or retaliation.
Over time, accusations involving ethics, harassment, conflicts of interest, legal expenses, and misuse of authority were repeated publicly.
To my knowledge, no formal finding of misconduct was ever made against me.
A recurring concern throughout this website is whether rules, standards, meeting conduct policies, and fiduciary-duty arguments were applied consistently.
I believe conduct involving me was often publicly highlighted, while similar concerns involving others did not receive the same scrutiny.
The central issue is transparency.
Homeowners received accusations, summaries, and conclusions. This website provides the underlying context, documents, and my perspective so homeowners can review the information for themselves.
Viewed separately, each event may appear isolated.
Viewed together, I believe the events show a broader pattern:
leadership removal without explanation;
committee removal without identified performance concerns;
exclusion from executive-level participation;
public attribution of legal expenses;
repeated accusations without findings;
inconsistent enforcement of standards;
and efforts to control the narrative provided to homeowners.
My purpose is not to ask homeowners to accept my conclusions. My purpose is to provide the information necessary for homeowners to reach their own.
One reason the events described throughout this website can be difficult to follow is that many of the same individuals appear repeatedly across multiple years, disputes, committees, Board actions, homeowner communications, and governance controversies.
Readers may find it helpful to recognize the individuals who were most frequently involved in the events discussed throughout this website.
Among those individuals are:
Roy Pearson – Former Board President, current Landscape Committee member, current Architectural Committee member and participant in numerous governance and architectural disputes discussed throughout this website.
Jessica Pearson – Director, Current Secretary/Treasurer, Community Outreach committee, and participant in many of the events, communications, and Board decisions described herein.
Navtej Toor – Former Director and participant in many of the governance disputes that emerged from 2021- 2025.
Keshav Gopinath – former Director and Vice President involved in earlier governance disputes and leadership decisions 2021-2024.
Dave Settles – Director and later Board President following the May 2025 reorganization and participant in governance matters discussed herein.
Marina Williams – Director, Architectural Committee member, and participant in governance matters discussed herein.
Gary Ritchie – Architectural Committee member involved in several of the disputes preceding the Architectural Committee member removals.
Chad Franks – Architectural Committee member involved in committee matters and disputes preceding the Architectural Committee member removals.
Michael Doering – Landscape Committee member and homeowner who frequently participates in Open Forum discussions and architectural disputes involving the Association.
Many of the events described throughout this website involve a relatively small group of recurring individuals who served as Board members, officers, former directors, committee members, or participants in Association governance. Their names appear in meeting minutes, Board actions, committee discussions, homeowner communications, and other documents referenced throughout this website.
Because readers will encounter these individuals throughout the timeline and supporting materials, understanding their roles may help provide context for the events being discussed. The purpose of identifying these individuals is not to suggest that they are responsible for every event described herein. Rather, they were among the most frequent participants in the governance matters, committee activities, leadership decisions, and controversies that shaped the events summarized on this website.
There are a few more homeowners who have participated actively in Open Forum discussions and community debates over the years. However, this section focuses primarily on individuals who served in governance, leadership, or committee roles because those positions carried responsibility for Association decision-making and are central to the events described throughout this website.
