In keeping with the purpose of the committee as described in the committee charter, Sharon Carr and Diane Porterfield toured the community to review the condition of properties previously reported for noncompliance with “Diamondhead Community Standards Rules and Regulations.”  Additionally, these two committee members noted additional properties and common areas, not previously cited, that were also determined to be not in compliance with community standards.  The findings from this tour are as follows:


Personal Property in Violation of Rule/Regulation #1999-01-14C (Parking of vehicles not used for personal/family transportation)

2.      Pebble Beach

5.      Bank-owned home on Independence at Firestone

“Exterior premises including sidewalks, driveways and carports, porches, walkways, stairs, parking spaces, and similar areas not completely enclosed shall be maintained free from hazardous conditions, building materials, appliances, household items, rubbish, debris, or other similar items.” 

Common Areas in Violation of Rules/Regulations #2003-2-13
1.       Santa’s House

“All developed properties shall be maintained free from grasses in excess of ten inches, and other vegetation, plants, trees and shrubs shall be kept in a neatly trimmed manner…”

2.      Front Gate Entrance

Common Areas in Violation of Rules/regulations #2004-26-17
1.      Volley Ball Net and Supports on  Springbrook Drive

“All property owners are encouraged to keep their lots in a neat and tidy manner.” 

A report of these findings of noncompliance with accompanying photographs was forwarded to Buddy Hudson, The Diamondhead General Manager.  Subsequently, Buddy advised the community standards committee chairman that letters were sent to property owners regarding the violation with a request for corrective action.
The Community Standards Committee members will meet November 16, 2012 to determine if these properties now meet compliance.   Those properties for which corrective measures have not been taken will again be reported to the Diamondhead General Manager with a request for follow-up.  Additionally, the committee members will also review language in the community standards document to possibly suggest the revision of the initial section of the document regarding banning parking of boats, RVs, motor homes, etc. on any residential property in excess of 72 hours.
Respectfully submitted,

Ginny Goral
