What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
Not sure what to do....but here is the story:
We live in a fairly new subdivision with about 20 houses but many more empty lots. When we moved in we got a copy of the by-laws and were told that when the development was complete they would turn the by-laws over to the neighborhood and then we would be able to ammend them as an association. Well the housing market crashed and there has not been a house built in the neighborhood in over a year. We are wanting to put an above ground pool in but don't want to break the rules. We have been trying to get a hold of the builder to see if that can be changed or if we can have control to be able to ammend it as a neighborhood. The subdivision behind us allows them and we can see them from our windows anyway...so I don't know why it matters. So my question is....because we can't get a hold of the developer are we just stuck with those laws until we can (I don't even know if he is in business anymore) or is there anything we can do to have the by-laws disregarded or changed?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
