FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

A BREAKING HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION NEWS STORY

The following letter and cartoon was sent to AHRC News Services by a San Clemente homeowner.

Re: Lawsuit with my association for grading my empty lot.

Dear AHRC:

I am writing this letter to you so that you might better understand the lawsuit between my homeowner's association and me. I need your help to make the public aware that we need better laws that protect property owners, that live in homeowners associations, with a Board of Directors that acts wrongfully.

I purchased an empty lot in San Clemente, California, to build my home on. The City of San Clemente required me to do extensive underground repairs because my lot was unstable due to underground organic materials that were not removed by the previous developer.

I was sued by my homeowners association when I graded the lot. I acquired the proper grading permits from the City of San Clemente. I believed that I was deemed approved according to my association's CC&R's and those of the Master Association.

There were 20 individual depositions taken, some taking several days. The association won in superior court. The association was awarded over $400,000. in attorney fees.

I believe the whole truth did not come out in the trial, the court did not give a factual or legal basis for its statement of decision on several issues introduced at trial, and therefore justice was not served.

I believe that I am a victim of a crime. The case has been appealed.

Sincerely,

Michael Doyle.
