WOODMEN POINTE meltdown
January 9th, 2008, 11:13 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Bill Vogrin
The Woodmen Pointe neighborhood coup claimed two victims this week with the resignation of two board members. One, Robert Brant, quit to help oust the remainder of the five-member board. The other, treasurer Mindi Upchurch, quit because she was tired of being “bullied” by renegade group leader Bruce Brian.
Here, and below under HOA Revolt, are some of the letters exchanged between the HOA board members, Brian and Brant.
One is a letter of apology sent by the board to its 130 or so homeowners after letters of complaints went out to 112 homeowners about their fences: fence-apology-120407.pdf
The other is a letter from the board to its members in response to complaints made by Brian’s committee to oust the board: woodmenpointeholidayletter.pdf
A map of the neighborhood and more letters are posted below.

Has anybody ever wondered how and why HOAs came into existence? If not, maybe they should. Once they know the details, I guarantee that their eyes will be opened wide to what’s REALLY going on between our state legislators and the Community Associations Institute lawyers-lobbyists in Denver. In the meantime, let’s think about market forces. Why are we not allowed to let market forces decide where folks in El Paso and Teller counties will live? That is, if a community is rotten to its very core, intelligent and rational people would not choose to live there (given the choice, which they do not now have).
