Violations Log + Evidence

Our Violations Log lists motor court parking incidents in the Willow community from mid-March 2025 to the Present Day. To reiterate, we started documenting unpermitted motor court parking after repeated incidents of blocked ingress/ egress to/ from our garage and, incredibly, being accused of business interference and harassment and threatened with arrest by Meritage for telling potential buyers, vendors, and/ or other visitors they were NOT allowed to park in the motor court (and most certainly NOT in front of our garage).

UPDATE (03/19/26): ADR unsuccessful; we are moving forward with our lawsuit against the HOA.

UPDATE (01/23/26): Ahead of anticipated litigation, our Violations Log is no longer being shared, though we will be displaying a list of the Top 09 Motor Court Violators in the Willow community dating back to April 2025 when we first started documenting violations in connection to motor court parking. Based on our evidence, it is evident that the developer-controlled HOA has not been enforcing motor court parking rules given that our top violators consist of both residents who arrived in early 2025 and newer residents who took possession of their properties later in the year, all of whom have continued to park in the motor courts throughout the Spring of 2025 to the Present Day.

UPDATE (IDR on 08/11/25): Rather than take responsibility for the HOA's negligence in enforcing the community's rules, the HOA's legal counsel has accused me of policing the community for motor court parking violations. I clarified that the log reflects the incidents of unpermitted motor court parking which my husband and I observe during our morning and evening walks with our dog and on the occasions during which we leave our home to run errands. Thus, we are not "policing", though, as of February 2026, our documentation efforts have effectively become a job.

A Meritage-based HOA Board Member also spoke-up to inform us that the HOA has received more complaints re my bodycam than it has about motor court parking. I explained that, given Meritage Sales' and the HOA's accusations of harassment and threatening behavior, I would continue to wear this for the foreseeable future as I simply do not feel safe without it. The HOA attorney reassured me that it was my right.

The HOA's attorney ended our IDR meeting by characterizing the matter as a "petty dispute". Regardless of his undermining characterization, however, we take Meritage's accusations of harassment and threats of arrest - in connection to our requests that folks not park in front of our garage - very seriously.

UPDATE (07/30/25): I've received push-back from members of the community's Facebook group regarding the following pictures. I'd like to clarify that the HOA requires that homeowners provide evidence when submitting violation reports (which, incidentally, are NOT anonymous) and that it is not my intention to call out any one individual, per se. Instead, my argument is that folks who are parking in the motor courts - especially those who do so habitually - have probably never been informed by the HOA that this is not permitted (which, as of Feb 2025, we have corroborated via communications with several homeowners). Thus, my documentation efforts have been undertaken with the goal of demonstrating that the HOA has been negligent in its enforcement of the community's parking rules and not to "ridicule" anyone.

We were also warned by some folks in the Facebook group that this blog would garner enemies in the community to which we respond as follows: we did not purchase a home in the development to make friends, per se. While my husband and I would certainly like to maintain civil relations with and are always available to help our neighbors, we value our privacy and, generally, prefer to be left alone. We wish to live in peace in our new home and in a community in which the rules are dutifully, consistently, and uniformly enforced by the HOA to ensure preservation of our property values. To paraphrase the late Jackie Robinson, We're not concerned with whether or not you like us... All we ask is that you respect us. In this case, "respect" refers to enforcement and/ or respect for the community's rules.

Furthermore, you can call me a "Karen" because I complain about aluminum foil on the windows of brand new homes in our middle class development (which, incidentally, was taken down with the assistance of our attorneys w/ in 24 hours of contacting the landlord's property manager after 9 months of futile reporting to the HOA/ Keystone), motor court parking that contraindicates the community's CC&Rs, and fires due to unattended grills in my neighbor's backyard. I take no offense to that designation and promise not to accuse you of harassment for any less-than-flattering opinions and/ or even the tone you might employ when expressing said opinions. I do have to caution, however, that if you yell at me- as Cara Garcia of Meritage Sales foolishly did- I will probably yell back. If you taunt and antagonize me, as another Meritage Sales agent and HOA member, Shannon Gurrola, did in late November 2025 while my husband and I were out on a weekend afternoon walk with our dog, I will probably tell you to fuck-off. If you challenge my husband to a physical fight, as a blockhead neighbor recently did because we had, in the past, reminded him of the county's leash laws, we will fight you - but we'll do it in court. If you stalk my husband and follow him around the development while falsely yelling out that he is a pedophile, you will hear from our attorneys. If your false accusations of pedophilia cause our family any harm, we will pursue every legal remedy available to us.

As I see it, it is my right and duty to raise my concerns about legitimate community issues and I intend to continue to do so despite the HOA's attempts to silence me and even if it "garners enemies" in my community. To be perfectly clear, our only interest lies in the preservation of property values and we will do everything we can in order to protect this.

Moving on to the evidence that supports the violations listed in our log, we, of course, have photos of every incident noted but, because this is numerous, we are sharing just a few.

Screenshot of posts by other members of the community in a Facebook group. We learned a long time ago that we're fairly average people - i.e., if we're bothered by rule-breaking, there are others who feel the same. Admittedly, what sets us apart from others is that we will demand that the rules be enforced in an effort to preserve property values. UPDATE: The vehicle referenced in the post was still parking in the motor court as of Dec 29, 2025 - i.e., several months after the Facebook group post... and despite a multitude of reports to Management. As of February 2026 after being contacted by our attorneys, the unpermitted motor court parking activity by the resident appears to have subsided.
