Do we not learn from History. Are homeowner dues spent wisely?

Desert View Courts = courts built and then removed

In SaddleBrooke, pickleball foes, citing a local noise ordinance, succeeded in stopping play on the three courts opened in 2008, after pickleball players raised about $22,000 to help defray the cost of building them. Another neighborhood in the community also blocked plans to relocate the courts to its neck of the woods.

Jim Morris, 68, that neighborhood’s representative to the homeowners’ association, says, “We didn’t want [pickleball] within 400 feet of the nearest home.”

And at the Preserve = courts built and removed from same locations being proposed

Pickleball  courts in the Preserve were removed once before due to noise complaints, impact on home values and impact to the clubhouse.

Courts have been removed at DesertView for the same issues. And today there even more homes in the same area. 

 Do we need to keep wasting money and have conflict? The clubhouse and surrounding amenities are important to all homeowners in Saddlebrooke.

The appropriate use of homeowners money is in question.
